Can't really fault this place. Although room not ready, it was a good excuse to go grab a bite to eat in their patio bar. By the time we'd finished, room was ready. For a 'cosy' room, it felt far from small. Tidy, nice crisp fresh linens, felt covid safe and nice little extras like a Nespresso machine, fresh milk (in the fridge), radio. Fabulous powerful rain shower and bath if needed. A great stay if you fancy somewhere outside the city centre yet close enough to walk to public transport.to get you around.

We had our wedding here and it was an absolutely unbelievable day! The team thought of everything (even how to handle typical Manchester wedding for a socially distanced garden wedding!!) and helped the day go smoothly. They were flexible with us on details, and really worked with us to make the day what we wanted. All of our guests gushed over the venue, particularly those who stayed the night. Our day was wonderful - I wouldnt change a thing, and Id recommend Didsbury House and Number 11 to anyone.

Luxurious beds, spacious elegant rooms, excellent breakfast, a bit pricey
I travel to Manchester for work 2-3 times a year and each time I've opted to stay in the Didsbury House Hotel. The rooms are significantly larger than what I've come to expect from a hotel, especially one with the amenities and service provided by the Didsbury. Most rooms will come with a standalone bathtub in the room along with a fully kitted out bathroom. There is something a bit decadent about grabbing a drink, flicking on the tv or the music player, and relaxing in a hot bath (with bubbles of course...what
