Pros:

An excellent location for exploring and perfect to get into Knutsford for a day/evening out. Both of our rooms at The Golden Pheasant were fresh, clean, bright and well stocked. We only had a brief one night stay, and didn't eat due to time constraints, but we would love to visit again, particularly to sit outside in the Summer in the beautiful garden and play area. The staff are exceptionally helpful, friendly and welcoming yet professional and efficient. I would have no hesitation in staying again or recommending the Golden Pheasant.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about, not too fancy but a good, honest inn, great value.

Way too hot with lack of cooling facilities.
Pros:

The location was nice. Convenient to the wedding we were attending. The ladies who worked on breakfast duty were lovely, friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

It was TOO HOT! Yes, I realise it's a heatwave and this is an old property. BUT, not only was there no air-con in the rooms, just a small, noisy, portable fan, which did nothing, but move the hot air around. There were no bed sheet options, just a thick, heavy quilt. The windows barely opened, AND the radiator was on in the bathroom. I didn't sleep for the 2 nights there, and the simple act of trying to get dressed for the wedding was a nightmare, due to being so hot and sticky. It was exceptionally uncomfortable.
