Very enjoyable stay at a particularly comfortable pub hotel. The room and facilities were excellent and the bar and restaurant were just what we were looking for in our overnight stop. The restaurant food was varied and delicious and the service at dinner and breakfast was outstanding.
Only 1 towel for a couple of us, the shampoo was left over from a previous guest. Service at breakfast, considering we were the first to arrive at the restaurant was poor, we were not allowed to sit at a table which had been prepared. The breakfast was not hot. Simply a very disappointing stay, not to be repeated.
Staff are always polite and helpful even calling you if you are running late to see if you are still coming. Rooms are good although older winows do let in a little draft so putting heating on before ypu arrive in winter would be a nice touch. Easy to park very quiet and always a great menu. I have brought so many colleagues and business folk here simply for the menu

This lovely hotel/restaurant provided the perfect stopover for our journey from south to north. It is perfectly situated in delightful surroundings only a short journey from the M6, with all the facilities needed, provided to such high standards. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, the rooms clean and comfortable and we greatly enjoyed the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. We will definitely come back to the Partridge but next time maybe stay longer!

Needed a place in this area for a quick overnight stop and booked the Partridge based on the reviews.
The property was brilliant and helpful in advance when I called to arrange for three single beds in one room.
On arrival the service was very welcoming and friendly.
The room was fine with some nice touches but a bit odd being literally two steps from the pub area (with a very loud adjoining door) and also not ideal having a room designed for accessibility requirements in mind with all the extra fittings/ tiny sink/ no toilet lid/ no separate shower area etc without requesting that room.
Overall very happy with the stay, friendly service and price. Would definitely stay again.

Many thanks Oliver for your kind comments and score. Apologies for the accessibility room however, this is our largest room because of the wheelchair access/space and was the best option to fit in the 3 beds for you. Hopefully see you soon on your next visit
Spacious, clean and with everything needed in the room. Bathroom was spotless too. Food on site is amazing and it’s definitely worth getting up for breakfast.
Will definitely return

Very comfortable rooms with a good bed and walk in shower, although we had to request a room change as there was a strong drains smell outside the first room.

Many thanks Chris, much appreciated and hopefully see you again soon
The hotel is super and in a good location for discovering the lovely Cheshire countryside. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. It made a pleasant change for the room to have plenty of sockets for chargers etc. The beds were incredibly comfortable with quality bedding. The bathroom was great with an excellent, large walk in shower. Our only issue was traffic noise from the M56 however that may not bother many people.
The restaurant had a varied menu choice and the food was good. The breakfast choice was excellent too.
Highly recommend a stay at this superb, friendly country hotel/pub.

Had a nice 2 night break...room was lovely, nice choice if tea, coffee and ho chocolate replaced every day, plus bottled water replaced every day. The only negative i had is we had room 1 which was lovely and big, but it had a disabled bathroom with a very tiny sink which was obviously low down. But we did book last minute and there was only two rooms left so beggers cant be chosers. We didn't eat in the hotel but the var and restaurant looked lovely. The hotel rooms have there own entrance so you dont have to go through the bar every time. All in all we had a really nice stay.

It was a lot better than expected a nice quiet area near the motorway.
Very clean and comfy room we had a much needed restful sleep.
Underfloor heating in the shower room and a rainstorm shower bliss.
The restaurant was well set out with quiet dining areas,
and an excellent choice of meals and wine.

The room was lovely, but unfortunately we had quite a lot of difficulty getting into the hotel itself . We were sat outside and the bar was shut and staff went home . We were told our key would open the outside door . But everytime we tried the key it just flashed red and would not open the outside door.. there was no staff to help or anyone to phone . Luckily my boyfriend managed to pull the door open after some time trying the key, which isn’t very safe but it meant we didn’t have to spend the night in the car .we were very unhappy with this.
Excellent small hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Everything about the hotel and restaurant was perfect. I would definitely recommend The Partridge.
The hotel does not disappoint from the photos on the website. There were several teenagers working when we arrived but none of them knew what to do and it was very unorganised. We were not given any information on checking in, not even the checkout time so we assumed Expedia shows the correct information. We asked if we needed to book a table for dinner and we’re told it ‘should be ok as there were not busy at the moment’. We arrived at 5 so I would have expected they would offer to book us in regardless. The restaurant was busy but we did get a table so all was ok. The room was nice enough apart from the light by the bed was broken. The main reason we were not happy is the outside seating area very close to our room had speakers playing music. This was left on all night and meant we had very disturbed sleep. The manager apologised and reduced our room to £75 but due to some confusion, it came to light our payment of the higher amount of £120 had already been taken from our card on checking in which we were not aware of, we ended up paying twice which was very frustrating. We had to return to the hotel for a refund to be issued. This should have been checked before we were asked to pay.
