It was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The setting and the gardens are stunning, and the interesting tour of Capesthorne Hall with Val and Peter was an added bonus. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming, and we would definitely love to stay here again.

The photographs of the South Tower are accurate, but they donât begin to show how lovely it is, and the grounds are beautiful which is a credit to all the Gardening Team. The location was perfect with easy access to RHS Bridgewater, NT Quarry Bank Mill and many more. Will definitely return in the future.
