Perfect location, just off the M6 for travelling further north. We only stayed 1 night but the service was excellent and a lovely area to walk the canal which was close by. The bar was lovely, meals excellent along with the staff. And perfect if you have a dog with you. Just can’t fault it

Great stay

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds. We stayed in room 119, it was beautifully decorated. I just wish that you could turn a light/lamp to really bright to make reading a book easier. The walls are thin, you can hear everything!! That being said i would stay here again.

Brilliant staff

Most positive aspect of the hotel was the staff who were outstanding in every area of the hotel including reception, bar and restaurant. The rooms were a bit dated but in good condition, mattress was not the best. Food quality was good and both food and drink decent value. The location is really nice with a lake at the front and a canal to the back. Overall very pleased and would certainly stay again.

Lovely break

Our room wash really nice, everything as expected. Unfortunately the occupants in the next room were shouting and making too much noise at 2am but the night team soon sorted that out. Food in the bar was very tasty and good value. Will definitely stay again.

Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We only stayed for one night to break up a journey to Liverpool so didn't see everything the hotel had to offer. Bar staff were particularly impressive - efficient and attentive even though there were a lot of customers and a wedding reception going on too. A pleasant place to stay.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff all very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast, and dinner/bar menu was superb. The chef uses locally sourced produce and the beer was fresh. Thank you to all at TMH!
Emma, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed with mobility facilities. Booked restaurant for the Sunday night for a family reunion but when we arrived were told the restaurant was closed Sunday and Monday. No quiet relaxing area due to library being used Saturday and Sunday Definitely not 4 star. Staff friendly and helpful.
