2 nights in Cheshire
Pros:

It was all good. Lovely room, friendly staff. It is one of the very best places we have stayed. Good location.

Cons:

It is becoming common that TVs in hotels are smart. The TV here is. Good if you want to watch Netflix, but no good for the non mainstream live channels, like Quest. The dinner menu was limited. Some items were very expensive.

A lovely one night stay.
Pros:

The staff were so helpful and attentive. The room was well equipped and clean.
The location was very good for my wife and myself.as we had business to complete in vicinity.
The food and restaurant were excellent and local people attend specifically to dine.
Well done to everyone.

Cons:

The road outside our windows got very noisy in the morning. I would suggest some form of secondary glazing to help against this. Our house used to be a guest house and we left it in place.
Also not a fan of baths in the bedroom but I'm a bit old no doubt.
