This place is very convenient for a visit to Hyde Hall. The four rooms are separate from the Pub where a very good breakfast is served. The room we stayed in was spacious and the bed comfortable.

Very friendly place, very busy in bar area but accommodation separate (& quiet 😊👍)… enjoyed looking round the bar area after breakfast next day, lots of interesting items/photos etc and nice to be away from the ‘corporate’ feel that most hotels seem to have these days. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Ridiculously small room, couldn’t open the window, and if did would have the people in the patio area virtually in my room. £100 without breakfast was very expensive for a shoe box size room

The four rooms situated around a central courtyard contain an oldy worldy charm but with modern touches and have everything you could need for a stay away. Extra touches like the largest fluffiest towels you could want, lovely smelling shower washes, a high magnification mirror and a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment were very welcome. All of this topped off with a tasty cooked English breakfast and drinks in the morning. The service is second to none, staff are extremely friendly, helpful and couldnt do enough for you. All in all a great place to stay.

The Prince of Wales is a charming traditional pub with roaring log fires, friendly staff, a bar full of locals and a certain magic so often missing these days. The current owners, a local farming family, only recently purchased to pub to save it from extinction. It is by no means perfect but a work in progress. My room was large with an even larger bathroom with bath, massive walk in shower, 2 basins (?) and toilet. Unfortunately within the room there was no information about the pub, it's facilities or the surrounding area which urgently needs addressing. Throughout my visit I was unable to logon to the wifi as I didn't know the password and it would have been nice to have some history of the pub both past and present. I gathered that a majority of the meat came from the owner's farm but this should be promoted in the room guide. On Monday and Tuesday they only offer a reduced menu which is very basic and I'm sure doesn't reflect the standards for the rest of the week. On my first night I had a 'bought-in" chicken pie (disappointing) whilst on my second evening I chose the homemade burger which was excellent and perfectly cooked. The Prince of Wales, the owners and staff, are trying to keep a popular venue open and thriving. Good luck to you and I, for one, would consider returning.
