Overall a really nice place to stay, it’s a bit of a maze getting to the rooms, could be because I was tired. The Rio Was lovely, as was breakfast but the coffee machine find t work properly (nightmare for me) and the hairdryer with really poor. May seem insignificant to some but important to me.

A mixed bag. Could be exceptional

We had a bit of trouble finding anyone when we arrived so stood like lemons at the bar for ages waiting for someone. At breakfast there was one poor person trying to do everything and the only tables free had dirty dishes on from the previous guests. The evening meal in the bar area was fairly nice but not amazing. My pie was lukewarm rather than hot but the vegetables were really nicely cooked. The taster menu in the restaurant at the back was really good and nice that you could take your own drinks. The room we had was beautiful and felt really luxurious but it was a shame there was a really strong smell of drains! We mentioned it and was told the drains had been clogged so they had recently cleared them and the smell was gradually going but it did linger for the whole of our stay. The street outside was quite noisy when the windows were open but it was really quiet once we shut them at night. The beds were very very comfortable and we slept really well. The location is great for visiting the potteries, Trentham Gardens, Jodrell Bank.... so there is plenty to do in the area

Lovely hotel. Stayed in a luxury room; fitted the description. Well appointed room, modern, comfortable, large bathroom with his & hers sinks, and open walk in shower. Exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfast was absolutely perfection. Excellent hotel, would definitely return if I was in the area.

Nice hotel, slow breakfast

Nice hotel with good rooms. Evening meal ok. Breakfast service is still very poor with nothing being ready for the advertised 7am service start. Why it tales until 7.10 to put fresh milk out is a mystery. When there on business, with a bisy day ahead you want to start the day quickly and for 2 years this hasnt been possible. If don't need an early breakfast it is fine

Great stay in a great location

Fab hotel. Great room and very comfortable. Bit clunky on checkout with no NatWest compatibility but that’s neither here nor there as it was sorted. Breakfast service was steady away but we weren’t in a rush and everyone literally came down at once so again, understandable so no negatives.

Hotel was gorgeous , room was very spacious and clean. However service on both morning for breakfast was very slow waiting over 45 mins for our food (wasn’t busy either) on the 2nd day there was no fruit juice available or any continental food out to eat whilst waiting for our cooked breakfast. Food when it did arrive was lovely
