A convenient location for what we were doing. It has plenty of parking, including reserved parking for residents when there's a large event on. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was clean and a reasonable size and had little extras like crisps. Breakfast had a good choice of items for which you pay extra to the room and pay on the morning. My only small comment would be that the stair carpet needs replacing - it's worn and ripped, and doesn't give a good impression before you get to your room.

Cheshire. I wasn't attacked by wolves and there were no burnt-out Ferraris in the parking lot, so overall it went well

The hotel is very rundown on both the inside and the outside. I think the hotel mostly caters for people travelling with dogs. This isn’t what me and my pregnant wife wanted. The tired room had been cleaned but you could still see dog hair on the carpets. We were kept awake in the night with the fire door banging outside our room and lots of comings and going in the corridor. I complained at 20:30pm but nothing was done about it. They refused hotels.com request to refund my stay. There are some nice b&bs in Holmes Chapel I advise going there instead.

Gary n Debs review June 2024
Our first visit as we were visiting a hi-fi show nearby, the new landlord had recently taken over and was in the process of making the hotel great again, he said it's been run down a little and they wanted to bring it back up. They did seem a little short staffed but other than that I cannot complain at all the food was good the beer was good the place itself was good the only downside is a noisy peacock in next doors garden!!

Room was big and spacious. Initially looked cleaned but on closer inspection the shower was mouldy and the metal hanging unit in the shower was rusted. We had no hot water. Staff were friendly and menu was good. Great location.

Perfect little gem
Another lovely relaxed stay here with my dog. Excellent location if you have a dog as there is a beautiful walk opposite the hotel along the river and into a beautiful meadow. Great service, food, atmosphere comfy beds, rooms beautifully decorated and more..... Nicola is super helpful and an asset to the Vicarge. I will be back !! 😊

Lovely location
Lovely hotel and rooms very comfortable. Everything in room is set out well, however we had no tea bags in the refreshment box (ironically called the tea box). Did pop downstairs but no one on reception then or when we checked out. Otherwise lovely, and would stay again.
