Vacanze Poulton e Pulford

Having stayed in a wide range of accommodation over the years, I can honestly say this was one of, if not the worst. It appears to have long term residents. In the room, they take the form of spiders, etc. that have created some impressive living accommodation for themselves. They obviously don't mind the battered and decrepit building, as well as the musty stench that has had greater aging than some whisky. It included "continental breakfast ", which is a loose term, and was never tested, as the cleanliness of what I could see didn't give me confidence in what I couldn't see. On a positive, the parking was plentiful, and the location convenient. But, not convenient enough to warrant ever staying here again. I did get to meet the Porsche driving owner, and explain my concerns. The money definitely goes on his vehicle, rather than the property. His response was they were planning on refurbishment, but it was apparent it was more akin to polishing a "turnip", than the gutting it requires.

Great location and a very short walk into Alderley Edge village. We arrived about 2.15 and were told that our rooms weren’t ready (check in is 3pm) which was fine. Later on we noticed how few guests there were in the hotel so wondered why there was an issue with the rooms not being ready. The first receptionist wasn’t particularly apologetic, but when we returned we were greeted in a much better manner by another member of reception staff. Rooms are nice. Breakfast staff were quite abrupt but overall a nice stay and location was the winning factor.

Great spot. Very quiet. Suggest you find it in daylight hours as it’s a bit tricky. Super friendly staff. Cooked breakfast would improve it.
