Would definitely recommend and stay again very happy guest😊
Pros:

We stayed in May as this was a get together with friends. We were staying at the Lion & Swan but dining at Pecks Restaurant. The staff were excellent, one of the couples had a problem with their room but this was very swiftly resolved. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was lovely clean spacious and accommodating. I’m pleased that we paid extra for the upgrade. I’m unable to comment on the breakfast that was included as we didn’t have any.

Cons:

When you enter the room there is a step which could be hazardous for some people and maybe should be mentioned when guests are checked in. We didn’t have any issue with this.

A lovely hotel in the heart of a great country location, good food and pleasant atmosphere.
Pros:

The hotel was very centrally located in Congleton. The breakfast was excellent and the rooms well provisioned for most stays. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Upon arrival it wasn't 100% clear where I should enter to check-in. The main entrance looked like a restaurant to me and it was difficult to find someone to check where to go. After staying there, it seems silly that I couldn't figure it out, but tired travellers are often not the most logical beings.

Also, it was very difficult to make contact with the hotel before my stay. This made it difficult to confirm some of the details that I need to straighten out before my trip. However, when at the hotel the communication was excellent.
