We would stay here again. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Our room was spacious and comfortable even if slightly dated, and an excellent breakfast from scratch was included each morning. All in all, the inn provides great value for money compared to the other options nearby.

Nice room
Easy check-in - lovely room. Found the beds a bit too hard for our liking. Nice way to do the breakfast by ordering the night before and they were able to accommodate the allergy. It was a shame that the restaurant was closed the night we were there.

Wonderful weekend away in Manchester at this charming inn. Attentive, warm staff all around. Great dinner at the restaurant - trout and pork chop were both excellent, along with the signature lobster fondue. Will definitely return!

Special treat
Loved the spacious room, huge bathroom and view out our window of Mt Equinox.
And the breakfast basket in the morning was a perfect start to the morning.
Thank you for all the hospitality. Wonderful place to stay.
