Hotels near Shining Tor, Macclesfield

I didn't book the old hall, but this one is really good. The cleanliness and comfort of the room is my most important. The decoration is red classical style. There is a wedding atmosphere under the floor.

We had my sons wedding reception here and it was so relaxed and well organised. We had a wonderful drinks reception and canapés delivered by friendly, professional staff and the Chatsworth room was decorated beautifully. The sit down meal was fantastic and service was impeccable. When they were setting up the room after the meal we sat in the lounge where a pianist added to the ambiance. Again the evening buffet was magnificent and we had our own bar .and the DJ played everyone’s requests. The bride and groom were given a huge suite for 2 nights and the staff couldn’t do enough to ensure everything was perfect- which it was.

We attended a Charity Ball at the weekend and the previous year we didn’t stop at Shrigley Hall but decided to treat ourselves this year as it’s not the cheapest place to stay. £169 double room bed and breakfast on a special rate as we were attending an event. We didn’t book any Spa treatments but the outside pool seemed very busy and the view and golf course look fantastic. It’s a bit of a walk from the car park to the reception but you can drop bags off at the front. The path from the car park to the front does need some repairs as it’s got holes in the surface and is uneven (not a great first impression) the water from I assume the outdoor pool runs and collects on the pathway as well so negotiate the puddles at the end! Check in was smooth, balance of room paid and breakfast was booked for us. Our room was a bit dated, with a stain on the carpet, I began to think there was an issue with the shower as it took a long time for the water to run hot - well warm even with the shower on the highest setting. We were settled though in the room so didn’t ring reception as I did manage a shower and we needed to get ready for the ball. ( It was the same for hot water in the basin - so might have just been down to our location in the hotel.) We asked reception if there was a way of getting through to the suite where the ball was without going outside was told no. Clearly the lady on reception had forgotten about the rear entrance that you can use to walk through the hotel, as that’s the way several of the guests were directed! We found out about it at the end of the ball! The grounds and venue are stunning, the room where the ball was held was amazing. We asked for the table to be moved slightly as we backed onto the main walk through so we’re getting knocked etc all the time and a lady was really swift to move the table for us. Food was tasty as last year, with lovely presentation, but it was apparent that agency waiting staff were serving. The hotel was busy as there was a wedding at the weekend as well (advised by a member of staff that this was the case regarding agency staff ) service was very disjointed with food being served several minutes apart on the table - not a table at a time - completely different to the previous year - we had to ask for a starter as it hadn’t been served, well they tried to serve wrong item and then the correct item never arrived (waiter very apologetic) , mains arrived, again disjointedly (cutlery dropped down the back of the chair when table cleared but the waitress was very apologetic and these things happen - so that wasn’t the end of the world) and desserts we had to PROVE after saying and being served three times with the wrong item that panna cotta wasn’t what we had ordered to get the right thing! (Was starting to get annoyed at this point if honest, there were only two options and we’d said one wasn’t what we’d ordered several times.) Tables were cleared with drinks unfinished, half bottle of wine still l

I just HAD to write a review on my stay here. Well... this was my 3rd hotel in 4 nights of travelling. It was also the cheapest one, and the only one I was kind of dreading! Oh how wrong could I have been! From the moment I entered, the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. Welcoming, kind and professional. I asked if there was any fridge I could use to store some food items I was travelling with and they kindly put these in the staff area for me overnight. Could not do enough to help. The hotel feels more like a modern new hostel than a hotel. The vibe in the communal area felt very much like a classy hostel. It was warm, friendly and welcoming. Free unlimited tea and coffee down there was great. Breakfast was only continental, which I hadn't realised. Lovely pastries, but a shame no hot food was served. Rooms are very small, as I had expected, but functional, Plenty of charging sockets, good hot shower with amenities. As I arrived into the station at terminal 1, and was flying from terminal 1 the next day it is quite a walk with heavy bags. There is no shuttle bus or alternative way to get to terminal 1 from here, only the skylink. This would have been fine, but the moving escalators on the skylink were switched off. When I asked the hotel staff about this, they said they have not been working for months. I don't know why this is, but it would have made moving to/from the hotel a lot easier so it was a shame. Overall a very good and unexpected stay. For the price, I would stay again. Thanks to all the staff for such a pleasant welcome.
