“I first started meeting with Neil three years ago and still regularly chat to him every week. Having been sceptical of counselling and psychotherapy I attended our first session with trepidation. However, Neil has been nothing but caring and compassionate. Through speaking to him I have gained a much deeper awareness of my life and issues. At times the process has been wrought with tears and pain, but it has all been worth it. My mental health and emotional awareness has improved immeasurably and I credit that to Neil’s persistence, professionalism and compassion. After once dreading the idea of talking about my emotions, I now look forward to our weekly chats. I would definitely recommend Neil to anyone in need of counselling.”

“.Excellent, comfortable and well equipped home” from tripadvisor Reviewed 5 Jan 2016 Our family thoroughly enjoyed the month stay at the well located Butterworth Hall. Owners, Judith and David, were very helpful and quick to respond to any requests. We were welcomed with a Christmas tree, flowers and tasty treats. The cottage is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The location of the cottage is excellent - close to pubs, restaurants, grocery stores and tram to Manchester City Centre. The great WiFi access was important for us to keep in touch. It's very spacious as we hosted dinner for 15 people. I would highly recommended this cottage to anyone needing to stay near Manchester.”

“Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip due to Coronavirus. However, the owners have been so wonderful and accommodating we will definitely be rebooking as soon as we can!”

“I’m 76 years old and live in Austin, TX. I’ve been a serious genealogist for more than five years. My grandfather was born in West Ham, London- and disappeared from his families until 2017 when I connected with other Cresswells on Ancestry. The Cresswells rooted in at least four English areas: Northumbria, Derbyshire Hills and Dales, Old Sussex, and Shropshire. My people were sheep and cattle yeoman around Edale where the Pennine Way begins its very long journey to Scotland. My problem was getting from Edale, outside Manchester to the Village of Cresswell to view and be escorted through the newly restored Cresswell Pele Tower, only one of two remaining of the original hundreds of such defensive towers. A private car seemed the only viable transportation as I’m too old to drive on the English side. Most fortunately, I connected with Mark Sweeney the director of Live For The Hills Tours Ltd. In Manchester. One anecdote: Thursday I took a cab and searched Eccles, a part of Manchester, for my somewhat distant cousin (90 years old, whom I’ve never met, but established an online relationship) No luck, and the address I had could not be located. Met Mark the next day, and explained the problem with meeting Peter. Later in the day he explained the street I wanted was two streets- one named a “road” and another a “street”. That evening we spent time looking again without success. Mark had researched the internet that next night and thought he had found the correct address for Peter. Next morning, a half hour later I met the man with whom I share a second great grandfather. I had been given the wrong address. I couldn’t have had a better person or driver than Mark. You won’t have regrets. We traveled the backways of England for three days. Above any expectations. Charles Cresswell”
