This bar is a must visit and the hot mulled wine is also a must. Lovely and warming on a cold windy december day. Bar staff very chatty and likes a joke with you. Beautiful inside and out.

Absolutely fantastic, last minute booking due to weather stranding us. The staff made us so very welcome that they turned an awful day into a lovely one! Room 1 was amazing, huge comfortable bed, crisp clean bedding, the bathroom was huge with a lovely egg bath and power shower! Holly the receptionist and the lively housekeeper made us feel special. Breakfast was lovely with a hood gluten free option. It was quite loud until early hours but central Manchester 4 weeks before Christmas that is to be expected. I would stay again, thank you!

We didn't stay in the hotel, we spent the day with friends and had a meal and drinks. The bar staff were all fantastic and friendly. I have to give an extra thank you to Aussie Kate who remembered our drinks after just the first round even though some of my friends changed drinks. Very professional and extremely friendly. Thank you for a fantastic time.

One of the worst hotels Ive ever been in. It does not match any of the hotel booking site pics anywhere. Single glazed windows (because of age of building) I got informed. Yet Ive been in other period hotel buildings who couldnt change windows yet they installed another window inside which planning allow) If you want to experience staying in the dark ages of a cathedral hotel this is a authentic place - old decor, cold, single glass window, dated, with no mod cons at all. Dont even think the radiators work. Staff on reception were friendly, hotel supervisors / management were literally

Friendly staff and a quaint place. Breakfast was very nice and well worth the price, with the discount, if your stopping here. For the price you really can't grumble as your dead centre and only a minute walk from the town. Room was clean and compact. Plenty of hanging space and a TV. My only issue was that the shower was terrible! It needed replacing as the pressure was non existent. I did mention this to the staff after the 1st night and they said it would be looked at, it wasn't unfortunately and it wasn't until the next day I noticed, I was leaving early and getting back late. I mentioned
