We could not see a reason why this Hotel has been given a 4* rating. Whist the bedroom was warm, clean and comfortable, it was small and part of the TV was behind the cupboard. The lounge, the only place to buy food, other than the restaurant with an expensive and limited menu, closed early, at 5pm on the Friday. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the Hotel was clearly understaffed.

Our room was absolutely lovely! We booked a standard room and it was beautiful with wooden beams. The shower was great and the bathroom was spotless. We really enjoyed breakfast and all the staff were really lovely. We would love to stay here again!

Nice centre of town accommodation. First impressions were very good. Friendly staff. We were in room 8 and the room looked directly down the high street. So lots of traffic and close to numerous public houses. Ear plugs were supplied by the hotel, but we dudnt feel the need to use them. We hesrd lots of public noise but that was only to be expected and didnt disturb our sleep.. The room on first impressions was warm and welcoming. Small fridge contained complimentary fresh milk & carraff of water. Only thing I found to pick at was the cleanliness of the bathroom. The bathroom its self was amazing, it just needed cleaning properly. There were dirty marks on the door, substance unknown. The panels of the door were covered in dust. Small cobwebs from the ceiling. The heated towel rail was thick with dust as was the head of the waterfall shower head. Breakfast was lovely . All fresh and good quality and served by friendly staff. Would I stay there again? YES.

No-one was on the check-in desk when we arrived and we had to go and fetch someoe from the bar to check us in. The breakfast service was slow. Otherwise, the hotel was lovely, well decorated and clean, comfy bed and brilliant location

Great staff, warm welcome and excellent service. Hotel is lovely with lots of character. Good facilities, tea/coffe machine, fridge, tv, geat powerful shower, clean and tidy and free wifi. Would have been a 5 star if it wasn't for the noise!! I stayed on a saturday night and the hotel is surrounded by bars. Be warned the area was very busy until the early hours, so you can imagine the noise. There was secondary glazing, which kept some the noise out, but still too noisey. Also a lot of noise from the hotel bar below. Unfortunately not much sleep had. I guess if your up all night on the town then you probably wont care , but if your after a quieter time then a week day would probably be best.

NOT RECOMMENDED - FELT UNWELCOME

Has the potential to be so good. Hotel seemed pretty empty, but we were given a room at the back - we had upgraded and the room was nice, but awful view of kitchen chimneys. Breakfast was sadly awful, cold pancakes with semi warm contents. I'd love to recommend but sadly I can't.

Excellent hotel in great location

Second stay - everything as excellent as the first. Olde world charm from the outside, modern comfort inside. Great location, their own live music venue under the hotel, good choice of other local pubs and restaurants on the doorstep and the Beartown brewery was well worth a 15 minute walk

We really enjoyed our stay, lovely room, comfy bed, great shower and luxury coffee machine. The pub is very nice with fantastic breakfast. Great location. The only thing was the room was too hot, no way to turn off the heated towel rail in the bathroom, to be fair we should have just asked. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Nightmare in Congleton

The staff did their best to deal with numerous problems - no hot water for showers, phone to reception didn’t work, no internet, No service at reception. Several other guests had similar experiences during our stay. We were sold the room on the basis breakfast was included but on the bill it says £30 was added for 2 breakfasts. The hotel restaurant/bar/nightclub was excessively noisy to 1am. I expect a full refund .
