8/10 Very good

A mixed bag. Could be exceptional

We had a bit of trouble finding anyone when we arrived so stood like lemons at the bar for ages waiting for someone. At breakfast there was one poor person trying to do everything and the only tables free had dirty dishes on from the previous guests. The evening meal in the bar area was fairly nice but not amazing. My pie was lukewarm rather than hot but the vegetables were really nicely cooked. The taster menu in the restaurant at the back was really good and nice that you could take your own drinks. The room we had was beautiful and felt really luxurious but it was a shame there was a really strong smell of drains! We mentioned it and was told the drains had been clogged so they had recently cleared them and the smell was gradually going but it did linger for the whole of our stay. The street outside was quite noisy when the windows were open but it was really quiet once we shut them at night. The beds were very very comfortable and we slept really well. The location is great for visiting the potteries, Trentham Gardens, Jodrell Bank.... so there is plenty to do in the area

6/10 Good

The lack of lifts and the layout of the rooms is very inconvenient and confusing. My fault for not checking but there is no AC which made for a warm room. However the staff was very accommodating and breakfast was nice.

Lack of personal touch

On arrival nobody on reception, but Hotel busy doing Sunday Lunch. When we found somebody we were shown to our room, which we were not keen on, as no window, just skylight. So we were shown 2 other rooms and chose room 3. Exceptionally clean. Asked about food for an evening meal, but nothing was made clear as to what we could get to eat or when, just told plenty of places to eat out and about. Nobody about next morning at breakfast had to search again for staff,definitely a lack of staff. No orange juice had to ask for some, this happened on 2 occasions. Breakfast ok. Key stopped working, found somebody to re set it,still did not work, so cleaner offered to get it sorted. Cleaners were exceptional. Very efficient and polite. After staying for 4 nights, we checked out, but nobody asked us at anytime about our stay. Nobody was interested, we requested a telephone number as we left, in case there was a problem with the car parking, as the gentleman that did it for us said, if we got a problem, when we got home to ring, but we were told to ring the number on the website, when I explained that we tried that to book the hotel and we had no option to speak with anybody, just book online. Only small niggles, but for the price of our stay, would have liked to have felt a bit like a valued Customer and had anybody asked us about our stay, we could have given them the chance to respond, instead of having to write this review.
