Countryside views in Manchester

“Fabulous afternoon with Clare and her alpaca buddies. We all had so much fun and Clare made it a really interesting afternoon. Loved meeting her beautiful sheep too. Had a very jolly time would definitely recommend a visit”

“Very nice local place but the local community need to value this beautiful place it’s an asset for Stockport Council please look-after and be respectful to the visitors”

“Firstly I think it’s important to note this is a cafe that is connected to a family support centre and counselling service. It’s cheap and it is supposed to be somewhere accessible for people who access the services next door, as well as for anybody who uses the park. I actually came here not because of this but because I had attended a baby class in the adjoining room, so my friend and I had coffee and cake here. It’s a great little place, so cheap and the staff are friendly too. There’s a seating area outside as well for warmer days. It’s a lovely little cafe if you’ve had a walk in the park or want to meet a friend with your little ones. They also offer a range of food and I’ve-cream in summer, but we always went primarily for coffee and cake, both of which were always spot on. We used to go here every week after baby classes, and will continue to do so after Covid. This cafe definitely deserves our support so that it stays open in the future.”

“Absolutely wonderful Spa experience! I had an amazing full body massage, enjoyed a relaxing facial and even got a lovely manicure. The staff are so lovely and sweet, especially the lovely Danae who also me through my treatments. Cannot recommend this place enough, always such great service every time!”

“Stopped on the way on holiday and the room, restaurant and service was all good. Booked a last minute night returning due to a very delayed flight, and again got a good rate and good service. The cherry on the top was a surprise bottle of wine to celebrate our honeymoon. Not expected at all and such a lovely gesture. ☺️”

“Cosy cottage, dog friendly opposite manor park. Good local pubs.”

“Quaint, quiet and serene surrounding . I great getaway”

“Excellent nice experience fantastic quete place fantastic scenery”

“Fabulous cut as always. Thank you Sophie for the amazing job you have done restoring my colour.”

“We have just finished an amazing week’s honeymoon staying in Overlea Farm Cowshed. The cottage was incredible all round. I was particularly impressed with the decor and furnishing. Fantastic quality and great design. We loved the hot tub both on a morning looking out over the fields or on an evening looking at the stars. The fire was fantastic to keep toasty in the evening, though you get full control of the central heating anyway. The owners made us feel very welcome with a wonderful little welcome hamper. When we arrived there was gentle music playing on the Sonos system and a lovely scent from the diffusers. The location is fantastic for anyone with a car as it is super easy to access walks, restaurants and all the top sights in the Peaks within about 30 mins drive. We would absolutely recommend a stay here and would love to visit again.”

“Went riding at Tarden Farm today for the first time, not ridden in 7 years so was a bit rusty and nervous. From the moment of walking into the yard was made to feel welcome from everyone which put me at ease. Beautiful well looked after and well behaved horses. Riding in lovely surroundings, couldn’t think of a better way to get your confidence back. Friendly and professional, would recommend. Will definitely be booking for next week.”

“What a lovely little place. Can be romantic, can be a friend date, can even be something you do on your own. The key to this place is the fact that they keep the food simple. Very simply, there are no frills. You go here to put food in your belly and to enjoy the atmosphere. The lady serving is lovely making the food all the more nicer.”

“staff are very friendly and the food is brilliant, would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area”

“Very lovely pub. Lovely waitress called Evie who did a fab job. She was cool. Hope to see her again soon. Great food, exquisite! Very clean and tidy, could lick the floors and it would taste clean!!”

“We stayed here to attend a family wedding; it was truly lovely. We enjoyed the food very much, the setting is very pleasant and the house is very characterful. The opposite of a Premier Inn or something perhaps. Our hosts could not do enough to help us.”

“Just spent a wonderful afternoon on the Judith Mary, Suzy and the team couldnt do enough to ensure we all had a good time, fresh sandwiches, warm scones and gorgeous moving scenery.”

“Astounding range of stock. Helpful and innovative staff. Reasonable pricing. Worth revisiting time and time again.”

“Great outdoor safe,fantastic countryside walks well worth a visit”

“My partner and I had a wonderful evening at Borage. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and Veronika runs the dining room with warmth and efficiency. The food is superb with first class flavours and presentation accompanied by excellent wine. All of this at incredibly affordable prices makes it an experience not to be missed! Congratulations to the whole team!!”

“Visited 25/10/2022, very popular location and lots of parking but fills up fast too. Great staff at the Timber Yard cafe, very helpful and getting requests done with ease for food and drink. Lots of walks to be done, family friendly and buggy friendly. Also steep incline to house from car park so there is a mini bus you can use to get you up to top with ease if you need it. The grounds are very scenic and worth a visit, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lots to see and do at Quarry Bank. Plenty of picnic benches for packed lunches, accessible toilet and baby change facilities were good. My 6 year old enjoyed completing the Easter egg hunt and I thought the gardens were magnificent. Good family day out.”

“Just spent the most gorgeous two days at this lovely place, making my birthday extra special! Luxurious chalet surrounded by beautiful views. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, helping make our stay as relaxing as possible. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“We chose Hilltop Country House as our wedding venue back in 2020 for our June 2022 wedding. It is perfection - the staff, the food & drink, the surroundings, etc. Our wedding day was simply magical. Clare was available for us whenever we needed her - nothing was ever too much and it made the wedding planning so enjoyable! I would highly, highly, highly recommend Hilltop Country House - there is a reason it has been voted the best wedding venue in Cheshire!”

“Would 100% recommend. Really good value for money, premises and bedroom/bathroom/showers all spotless. Bed sheets clean and very obviously freshly dressed. Garden beautiful. Just wished our plans gave us the opportunity to enjoy the premises for longer. Would definitely recommend opting in for the breakfast, fantastic value for money and the owner was very keen to cater for personal or dietary needs. Very welcoming.”

“Hyde Park House is the perfect place to run our business from. We have been here for over four years now and are in our third office space. The great thing about the building is how you can move as your business grows and your needs change. The team that run the building are professional, friendly and we cannot fault the service we receive, the meeting room hire is great too. The coffee shop is well stocked and a great bonus for us. We are delighted with our choice of office space and coming to work here is a pleasure!”

“quiet path next to the canal. you can see ducks and cows”

“A very nice place to be and spend some time with nature. A very nice bike ride also if you're a rider or you can just walk the path from Marple memorial park and the locks. A magnificent structure that is highly recommended to visit. You can also see the train tracks behind it. You can take the stairs down and see the enormous build that is a very awesome sight to see.”

“We loved this place... Definitely going back again to explore the trails on mtb. Millennium walk way was really good and a lovely little cafe and shop too.”

“I haven't been to the park for a while, I really enjoyed it. Lots of areas have been deliberately left to go wild. There is also a lovely new playground. Lots of work going on to improve it.”
