Refreshing Experience

The bathroom was equipped with a full wet room that made my shower experience luxurious. The provided shampoo and shower gel had an amazing fragrance, and the ample towels were delightful to use.

Thoughtful Amenities

I was pleasantly surprised to find a 'forgettables' basket at reception with essentials like toothpaste and shoe polish. It was a useful touch that showed consideration for guests' needs.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Congleton, making it perfect for what I needed. The rooms were a bit noisy despite being advertised as soundproof, and it could use a couple of coat hooks inside the door area. However, the bathroom with a freestanding bath was a nice touch.
