Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The property is a very lovely wedding venue.
Sadly the restaurant team let the side down by lack of experience, slow service, lack of knowledge. The coffee at breakfast was disgusting and undrinkable. However, the wedding planners were brilliant and the wedding dinner was fab. I would definitely recommend to go here
The room was modern and with excellent bathing and showering options. Spa was good and I enjoyed the experience (shame it's extra cost on top for guests). Service in the restaurant was awful and, in my opinion, purely down to the lack of staff - once the restaurant became quieter, the staff we more plentiful and definitely 'happier' - I experienced this through one breakfast and two dinner services and also the same last time I stayed.
Great hotel and spa in a quiet location but close to M6. Beautiful large room. Possibly upgraded as it was my birthday. Had dinner and breakfast and both were very nice.
Very nice hotel for stay in the Manchester and Northwest area. Great setting and very nice facilities. Great breakfast food.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The room and the grounds were excellent. Evening meal, although the menu was basic and limited, the food was good. Breakfast was chaotic, just given a couple of menus and told to find a table. Shortage of breakfast items with staff not replenishing them. Had to get a chair for my table.
Check out was worse, six people waiting to check out with only one member of staff at the desk who was on the phone for over 5 minutes while people were waiting to settle their bills. Lack of staff and staff training really lets this place down.
Check in was easy.
Our room was in the Woodland suite and was large and very comfortable with an open view onto the garden.
The spa staff were lovely. They asked us a few questions about ourselves, the reason for our stay etc.
The only part of the stay lacking was Freds Brasserie. We had breakfast and one evening meal.
We never saw more than 3 staff members serving and although they were polite, one of our orders never made it to the kitchen and we had to chase this after a long wait. Nobody came back to check on us. Despite few guests, breakfast service was missing bowls, pastries and juice. Staff had to be asked by different guests for them.
The evening meal although nice, lacked attentive service again.
The one draught lager had run out so there were only bottles and once we had eaten there was no reason to stay in the small bar area, nor were we encouraged to. The whole brasserie was lacking in atmosphere. It was an eat and leave experience, which is a massive shame as the restaurant and bar have beautiful views and we would have happily visited more if the experience had been better.
The location and surroundings are beautiful, the buildings are superb, the room was really nice and beautifully prepared, the gym was perfect. The staff however did not make me feel welcome at check in or otherwise. At breakfast i was told off for entering breakfast at 0658am when it was supposed to open at 0700am. Did not feel a good experience and spoiled my impression entirely. Also, i understand when a hotel takes a swipe of your credit card on arrival to cover any incidentals. In this case, they have actually taken £50 immediately and yet when i checked out with nothing additional to pay, i was advised the £50 may take up to a week to come back to me. That does not feel very professional. Also could not get the printer to work for my bill which i wanted as a print out. Wonderful hotel buildings and peaceful setting but let down by the staff. i think i will use other local hotels next time.
How fabulous that the accessible room has two bathrooms, shame there is no shelf for toiletries in the accessible one, and the floor is not slip proof. I could feel that the bath was not properly cleaned when in it. Not enough milk and no choice of teas that I would expect at the price paid. One packet of two biscuits between two! The bed was comfy though and we slept well. The blackout blinds work well, and it was quiet. Breakfast, wasn’t great, had to ask for fruit to be filled up, the coffee was VERY weak, had to top an Americano up with an espresso to taste it. No marmalade, choice of two juices, but no sign to say what they were, not a problem unless you can’t drink grapefruit juice I suppose, but would have been helpful. Had to search for extra cutlery or crockery. Not helped by a spider crawling onto my table from underneath (I realise this was no one’s fault 😊) All in all, I felt somewhat disappointed at the standard, for the price paid of nearly £200 per night.
Excellent facilities. Stayed here twice, specifically to enjoy the spa packages on offer, what a lovely way to relax. The bedrooms are very comfortable with bathrooms especially well designed in the Woodlands rooms. Or you can enjoy a more period feel staying in the Manor House. Hotel easily accessible from motorways, in a quiet countryside setting, we especially liked the well designed bathrooms. Restaurant and bar areas relaxing, food very good, especially the vegetarian options. Good walking, nearby. Lovely gardens for outdoor eating/ drinks. Plenty parking. Local village Mellor very short drive away, with an excellent pub / restaurant should you fancy a change from hotel. Hotel staff very friendly and efficient. Breakfast ok, not biggest choice if you don't want to pay extra? Have to make your own drinks? Only minor issues if you're on business I suppose. Spa facilities fantastic. My wife always enjoys the 50 min 2 treatment package when here. Very good value especially as it includes a light lunc a glass of fizz, and 2 hours in the fabulous spa pool and saunas. What a way to charge the batteries! As a friendly tip, during summer months we would stay Mon-Thur as this is a well renowned wedding / event hotel. So weekends could be very busy. Check first! Enjoy!
My wife and I have stayed here a lot. We live about 90 mins away in Chester. Basically we use it as a retreat from the city weekend madness. Tourists, races drunks, noise? Here, peace and quiet. We stay in the garden rooms overlooking the hills towards Blackburn. Gardens are beautiful, lounge small and reserved. Staff mainly Asian are all very nice, respectful, efficient. Breakfast a la carte very good. Restaurant very smart looking over the gardens. Bar area small and quiet. Star of the show is the spa and pool! Won't spoil it for you, but you've just got do it! Not cheap, but me and my wife we book 2 hours, she has a couple of treatments, I just float around in the whirlpool, 5 different saunas and tea and biscuits later. What's not to like! Take your time booking. Weekends not worth staying as being near a major Asian business city, Blackburn, Asian weddings can take the place over and affect service. Personally, we go between a Sun-Tues. Cheaper and quiet. 30 mins drive from Clitheroe, lovely Lancashire town and the Holmes Mill entertainment complex. Cinema, amazing food hall, small bowling alley for the kids, and for me the star of the show...the Bowland Brewery. One of the largest real ale bars in the country. Easily 39-40 beers on regularly. And food all in a renovated mill. Amazing building! Don't wait! Just do it! We do!
All the staff were really lovely, more attention to detail required with outside tidiness and disappointment that we had to wait for breakfast on Saturday; also better selection required at breakfast and coffees were poor
Liked the Spa facilities although very expensive to use. Very small and limited bar area. Fruit was off at breakfast time, tasted fizzy. Very basic accommodation not the luxury the website claims.
Comfortable bed and good air-conditioning. Nice views of countryside
