Positioned in a semi rural location yet not less that 5 minutes form the M62 and 10 minutes from the M56 motorway networks, you'll be able to get in your rented car and be within roughly half an hours drive from Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and North Wales as well as Blackpool which may take half an hour longer. With 67 immaculate rooms, its location really is its selling point, as it doesn't boasts alot of the luxuries the top hotels in Manchester of Liverpool will offer. However if its a pit stop you're looking for in a cosy rural setting then this is it!! It does have free wifi so you can upload your videos from your road trip to youtube!! Rates are pretty average bog standard £54 at weekend which is not bad at all!!!

I really wanted to love this place, as it was the hotel we stayed the longest at on our trip to the…read moreUK, but the first interaction at checkin was so off putting that I can't unfocus to see the big picture of our stay. To start, we did talk with the manager who was kind and accommodating and every staff member following was incredibly nice, but our check in person really colored the rest of our visit for us. We are platinum members of Marriott so as part of our membership, we have 5 nights to be used to upgrade the room we book, at the discretion of the hotel if they have it available. I had used 4 of my upgrades and additionally booked a junior suite because both me and my partner had to work and we needed the separate spaces. Worsley Park sent me a confirmation 3 days before our arrival that they accepted my use and that I would have an upgraded room. When we get to our room, it is absolutely not an upgraded room. Though they took my upgrade credits, we were in a normal standard room. I watched on my app as it showed I was supposed to be in a junior suite, downgraded to standard room after calling the front desk to see why we weren't in a junior suite. The man was incredibly rude and condescending. He told us he'd tell his manager and would call us from the room we were in to sort it out. It felt wrong to me to dirty up a room when we booked a junior and also had used my upgrade credits to ensure the larger room so after about 40 minutes of waiting, both of us starving from our 27 hour trip, and still not hearing from the manager, we went down to reception. The man was scowling at us, rudely telling us to just go back to our rooms. Just then, the manager walked up, listened to what happened, apologized, and told us we would be in a junior suite the following day and that the one upgrade credit that wouldn't be used that night would be returned to my account. It still has not. Every time we walked by reception, I'd see the man literally evil eyeing us as I smiled and waved. I cannot say I'd recommend a place that has such rude staff and the fact that when we first got in the rooms, there was random hair everywhere. Go anywhere else.

The staff are all awesome - always on hand to help and very courteous, but in a distinctly northern down-to-earth way which makes the place feel really welcoming (ie. not too posh!). The restaurant is always awesome - myself and wife #1 got married there 3 years ago (...at the hotel, not in the restaurant - we like food, but not that much...) and people still talk about the food and entertainment. We went back last night to celebrate not killing each other for 3 years and the Crayfish soup leapt out as the choice for me on the menu. If you do nothing else this year, visit this hotel and have the crayfish soup. Utterly, utterly amazing - by far the best soup I've ever had in my life. I had to point towards the other side of the room and shout "Look, the Nolan sisters!" to distract everyone while I licked the bowl clean. Oh, I forgot to mention the Sticky Toffee Pudding - add that to your to-eat list as well :)

I was less keen because it was approaching London prices in Manchester where there are good hotels for substantially lower cost. But it was for one night and by booking a way ahead the prices wasn't too outrageous. However the package with prepaid car parking (an extra GBP40 or $50+) seemed absurd so I figured that I would park nearby for less. All my nightmares seemed to come true as we drove up late that evening (about 10pm) long after dark up some back alley into the hotel and parking structure. Why were we arriving so late? Because we called up at 1pm to reserve a table at their restaurant (the River) and found they could not (would not) accommodate us even as I explained that we were guests. I would have cancelled right then and there but I had prepaid so ....... One more negative strike was the off-hand way we were dealt with over the phone and "greeted" when we checked in (i.e. NO greeting, really manager - please train your staff in the basic skills of hospitality!!) It all ended up very different. The room itself, the bed, the bathroom were all 5 star. The location of the hotel was better than I had expected - right on the river and a short walk over the bridge and you were in the center of things. I still predict that you will be more than disappointed as you arrive at the front of the hotel - but once you are inside, you are embraced by the refinement indoors, by a couple of the staff, and by the spaciousness. How good was it? I called the front desk and booked for a second night, requesting the same room, and was lucky to get it at the standard rate of GBP198. Will we be back - yes please. Never done this before - so it MUST be good! However I just hope the manager reads this review and acts on the training of his frontline staff! How about the restaurant - what a disappointment - but that is a separate review... Two thumbs up! Review #105 2019

Poor service with a side of gas lighting. My biggest issue with this place was that the minibar…read morerestocker moved something off the mini bar in my room and somehow it was on my bill. I went to complain half way through my stay and they told me it must have been me because it's on a pressure sensor. Made me feel that I was either been scammed by the hotel or that someone else had access to my room, maybe a previous guest. Both are not good and made me feel very uncomfortable in the hotel. I couldn't get service at the hotel bar for some reason too. I went in for a quick drink before meeting a friend and waited for 20 minutes without service. I then tried to order at the bar and was told it's table service only. Weird. Was I dressed in flip flops without a shirt you might ask? No, chinos with a button down shirt. I also wasn't told about the breakfast arrangements at check in so left the hotel each morning for breakfast. On top of that the "king bed" was 2 thin mattresses pushed together with scratchy sheets. It's a little inconvenient in terms of location so it has to be very good to justify that extra walk. This place fell massively short. Would not stay here again.

Unfortunately should you be unlucky enough to stay when there are large groups of drunks staying as well then don't expect much sleep. The first night was dreadful and it ruined my day as I could not sleep due to the constant noise. Not totally the hotels fault but it did affect my stay quite badly and the hotel didn't exactly do much to cease the noise, they were all just left to it in the lobby. The staff however did change my room and reimburse me slightly, they were very polite and attended to all my needs. Parking wasn't an issue but that's only because I got lucky. They share their small car park with a Gym so if you failed to get a space, you have a problem. Luckily for me I parked my car up and didn't use it again until I was going home. I would stay again, but not on a weekend.

Mottram Hall offered that along with some team building experiences. Unfortunately, it is a bit out of the way. The rooms seem to vary depending on which portion of the building you end up. My room was decent - king bed, reasonably sized bathroom, although only a view of the parking lot. The bed was comfortable but the room was hot. The food at the restaurant was ok. Breakfast was included (along with WiFi) and probably the best part of the stay. I managed to try a good selection of the dinner menu but wouldn't rave about anything. The bar area is unique and a good place to relax and talk. Our team building was archery. The instructors were awesome and everyone had a great time.

Mottram hall really is a magnificent venue. Devere have properties all over the UK each with their own identity.With Mottram as soon as you walk in, regardless of whether you recognise the Georgian architecture or not a grand feeling will wash over you. You will be sucked in and helplessly emerse yourself in the melodramatic decor, from the oil paintings on the wall to the carpets which reminded me of the shining. Must admit, the paintings on the walls were slightly haunting, but then again we all know of my love for the horror genre. One particular painting I know for a fact upon my second glance piercing eyes in the painting followed me as I passed. I would probably need the hotel to be noisy and full if I ever stayed here, just to feel safe from any ..... er.....ghosts??!! All speculations of Mottram hall being haunted aside the place has alot to offer. The restaurant serves great food and the service is also good with friendly and approachable staff. Nathaniel's restaurant an AA Rosette Award winning restaurant's great for fine dining. The focus is on classic English meals but I hear they are changing the concept slightly, introducing a buffet style arrangement with a wide variety of things on offer. The grounds surrounding the Hall are vast with an array of activities available such as a 7000 yard championship golf course and clay pigeon shooting. There is also a spa and leisure club where you can work out or enjoy a range of treatments. It also seems an ideal wedding venue. So perhaps this is one yelp for the future. Some years down the line when the waist line and bank balance are both slighter bigger, and your post code starts with SK10.... Even before then for a very very special occasion or to treat someone take them to Mottram hall. Beware though ask for directions because I got hopelessly lost despite having a sat nav :DD I would happily book a couple of nights here go enjoy the day activities on offer and do a horror movie marathon at night any one fancy it ??? Come on yelpers......... wanna play a game!!!!!!!!! :D
