We received a lovely warm welcome on arrival , our room was modern clean and very big in comparison to other hotels we’ve stayed in. We opted for a meal in the bar , which again was lovely and served in ample time. Beds were super comfortable and aided a good nights sleep. We hadn’t planned to have breakfast, but decided to in the morning. Again we were greeted with a warm welcome and talked through the options and were offered hot drinks straight away. There were plenty of fresh breakfast options and although I personally think hotel breakfast in general are over priced , here I didn’t feel ripped off. We chose this hotel due to its location to Cheshire Oaks outlet village, it is only 5mins away and close to the motorway which made it a perfect choice. We had stayed at this hotel many years ago for the same reason and we won’t hesitate to return next time a shopping trip beckons.

The environment offers remarkable tranquility, and I particularly appreciate the serenity of the location. Breakfast was satisfactory; however, the lunch service was less impressive. For individuals unperturbed by potential scrutiny due to their ethnicity, the establishment is adequate, provided one is not overly self-conscious. The hotel itself was acceptable, and the staff were reasonably courteous, although it was evident that they were not accustomed to accommodating Black guests. Nevertheless, this was of little concern to me, as the environment provided precisely the ambiance I sought for my holiday: serene, quiet, and remote.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful area. Staff were so helpful and friendly both at the main desk and for breakfast. Breakfast was a decent spread, typical of a holiday inn. Room was comfortable spacious and clean. Parking was easy with some spaces directly in front, and others in the overflow and on road outside. Would happily stay again

Lovely stay here last weekend. Room had a nice canal view, it was clean and warm, bed comfortable with a nice cosy duvet. Pillows could have been a bit softer but I slept well, nevertheless. It was a lovely big room, tea and coffee provided.A nice modern bathroom with a walk in shower. Shampoo, shower gel and soap was all Dove products. Had a few problems getting the key card to work but otherwise I cant complain, Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice and served nice and hot. Staff were lovely, welcoming and helpful. I will be staying here again next year. Definitely recommend tthis place.

Excellent hotel and every single staff member was lovely and very welcoming. Never experienced such lovely staff service in a hotel chain. Room was very clean and the pool was a welcomed addition. Would definitely stay again. Staff made a fuss of the children and gave them sweets for Halloween which was not expected but very kind and the children loved it! Only a short drive to Cheshire Oaks and the hotel was set back around the water, with lovely views.

Warm welcome. Large rooms, comfy bed. Pillows not great but I could have asked for feather ones. Breakfast choice good and tasty. They do need to improve the coffee, very weak. Dinner on one night which was good. Friendly staff. Parking plentiful. Quiet location with canal and birdlife. Ideal for Cheshire Oaks.

The hotel was clean and generally efficiently run as is typical of the Holiday Inn chain. The debit/credit card system was not available the evening I arrived which was somewhat stressful. The biggest issue though was that I felt cold the whole evening. The room climate control seemed faulty as it didn’t heat my room.
