Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in Knutsford, making it convenient to access bars, restaurants, and shops by foot. The rooms have some drawbacks, including a musty smell and overlooking the pub garden, but the service is decent. The dining experience lacks menu clarity, and the location is excellent for various activities.
The hotel's location is excellent, making it a breeze to visit family in the area and conveniently explore the charming Knutsford surroundings. Although there was a strong sewage smell, the free parking at the back was a bonus. The rooms were very basic and had some damp stains, lacking privacy with the bathroom door not latching, but the central position in Knutsford was a plus.
The hotel is in a great location with helpful and welcoming staff, but the rooms were smaller than expected and next to a noisy extractor fan. The dining experience was good overall, although some breakfast items were missing. The location was ideal for easy access to central Knutsford and a short walk to Tatton Park.
