The Tytherington

We liked our stay. The staff was courteous and the room was modern and clean. The sports facilities including the swimming pool and the gym were good. The location was convenient, being close to the Peak District.

The restaurant was pretty basic. The breakfast was inadequate and the dinner was pretty poor as well. Luckily there were decent restaurants and pubs were within driving distance. One night at 3am we were woken up by false fire alarm. None of us managed to go back to sleep afterwards. Hopefully it won’t happen to future guests as it was such a shock to us and the children.

Few reasons why the hotel is fantastic and would definitely come back and reccomend. Spotless, the cleanest hotel I've ever been to. The room was amazingly clean and well designed. The shower screen was like new, not a single water drop. The towels were spotless white, fluffy and lovely smell. There are Elemis products in the bathroom which was a luxury touch. Lovely staff, very accommodating and friendly. They reccomended restaurants and very welcoming. The bed had crisp white linen, like they were new. Bed very fluffy and comfortable. You get water in the room along with biscuits, tea and coffee. The location is perfect, Macclesfield is quite a big city with lots of options for going out. You are about 40min drive from main objectives in Peak District (we counted 7 locations within max of 45min drive) and around 45min drive to Manchester. The hotel has golf club and spa facilities so you get a great value for money. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Peak District. I have stayed in lots of hotels in UK and abroad and I can say this is in my top 3.

One downside even though not necessarily is that the spa facilities were closed due to renovations and only the pool was open but explored all day and didn't had the time to use it. I would have liked to come back after a hike and enjoy de steam room. The hotel did announce us well in time so we were aware of it.

Often when I stay in hotels I think, this room is good, just needs a few tweaks to make it really good. At the Tytherington they have done all the tweak. Wardrobes that work with lights inside, good bedroom lighting in different places, all easily controllable, lots of power sockets with USB charge points, well designed bathroom with good lighting, good walk in shower and space for two of you to put your stuff out. Bottles of water and tea/coffee in the room and not too much useless furniture. Very good. The bedroom windows all look out onto the car park, so you need to close the curtains at night or the room is lit up like a football ground. Individual room air-con. Staff in the bar were slow to take orders for food and slower to deliver, no excuse really when they were so quiet, three on duty and a cook, they were not short handed, for this reason I did not have breakfast. The hotel was spotlessly clean, I will stay there again, probably eat elsewhere though.

The overall hotel was lovely. Staff were friendly. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Great location.

Everything was great apart from the breakfast. The food was either dry or greasy, the fried eggs were like rubber. When making toast it came out white you had to put it through the toaster at least 3 times which then set the fire alarms off. As for the coffee machine the latte hardly had any coffee in it. It was like drinking warm milk. There was also the matter of price, if you pre booked breakfast it was £14, if you booked upon arrival it was £16, however if you went into the adult only restaurant on the day it was £11.95. With no explanation from the staff over pricing. I did complain to the staff but no one got in touch with me. This was the worse breakfast I have ever had. Considering the price that was paid.

Great size rooms. Very clean throughout the hotel. Good pool, spa and gym facilities. Friendly staff.

The breakfast! On the first morning the hot breakfast was all dried out. The staff did bring out fresh fried eggs and hash browns. Second morning the breakfast was better. Fresh items put in the tray. For the price we paid (£500 for 2 nights and had 2 interconnecting rooms) would expect more options like fresh fruit salads, fried mushrooms, a range of hot drinks and staff taking your order for these.

Ground floor room, bottled water in room. Biscuits, coffe & tea & milk. Lack of sugar. Walkin shower great. Wall mounted handwash etc.. Spa facilities great. Ample car parking. Free WiFi. Breath taking view across the golf course. Daily room service.

The bed was uncomfortable, dipping in central, requires turning over or replaced. Breakfast area poor, old fashioned water urn.. Lack of attention to detail. Example, 1st morning, little choice of fresh fruit and no honey. 2nd morning, no butter, cheap margarine. No scrambled egg, no tomatoes, only beans?. The hotwater urn is old fashion. Pots of tea would be much better. The price of breakfast per person is outrageous. Information on where to visit would be useful for visitors.

The staff were excellent from the receptionists to the cleaning lady, truly outstanding hospitality- the room was a nice size and comfortable. the gym is fabulous and good range of classes and the pool is clean.

The thermostat in the room was constantly lit, which was imposing at night with no way to switch it off so the room could be dark. The room lighting could be better only two bright lights which were directional - fine, if you are in bed trying to read but an issue if you want the see anywhere else in the room. Alas the steam room and the sauna was not working.

Location lovely, gym nice and quiet with lots of modern technology (couldn’t find a seated cable pull machine) but fantastic! Pool was of decent temperature and was fairly quiet however I did find the lanes a little narrow, the sauna and steam room were great!

The food wasn’t particularly great in all honesty! The oil that the fries and onion rings had been cooked in was of poor quality and caused excess grease, the burger was unseasoned and back bacon was used instead of streaky, the steak baguette had very little meat in and I’d of expected the baguette to be slightly toasted. The showers in the Spa area were boiling and couldn’t really shower after the the sauna but figured that was just a water issue.

The room was very nice and clean. The pool area and outside seating by the golf course were very nice.

The breakfast was poor. There wasn’t enough of the food, it kept running out. System didn’t seem to work, food went cold quickly-it wasn’t enjoyable! There was no cutlery especially teaspoons & plastic bowls for cereal. The staff were not around to ask for things. Staff not very attentative and some were not that helpful/friendly. Would also have liked a more pleasant lounge area to sit. Decor in the dining/lounge area liked tired & in need of re-doing.

The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The SPA facilities were good overall, massages were excellent and hydrotherapy (pools) were fine. I would add a bit more hydrotherapy to make it more complete, but it was acceptable. Staff was nice, and food in the bar was decent (it could be better, though, for a 4* hotel).

The outside was too focused on golf, it would be nice to have a nice path to walk around, there was one but it wasn't specially beautiful or well maintained. We forgot a hair brush and they didn't have anything in reception to borrow/give us - we were expecting a small courtesy comb or something like that.
