My husband and I stayed at the Innkeepers Lodge, Holmes Chapel on 4th May. On arrival we received a really lovely welcome and was given our key very quickly. We arrived at 8.00 pm and asked if we could get a table to eat, although it was very busy we were told they would reserve the next table for us... More

We arrived at this place on a Thursday evening. Check-in was friendly and efficient and we found room 305 on the first floor of the annexe quite pleasant. There are only 6 rooms total in this annexe (3 on each floor), the other rooms are off the main building. You get your private front door, a fairly large bathroom (looks... More

We visited the pub for a belated anniversary treat, staying for one night. The room rate presented very good value (£35 with continental breakfast for 3 of us). The room was fine for the money we paid and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant. It isn't the cheapest pub food but we felt the pub had a good... More

Went with family for birthday meal, at my suggestion as I had had some excellent meals there a few years ago. I ordered steak, medium rare, when it arrived it was bordering on overcooked and was so tough I could not even cut it with the steak knife. When I complained I was given another steak, medium rare this time,... More

Having read some of the previous reviews we were expecting some big problems! However, we were pleasantly surprised. We were given a really good welcome and shown to our first floor double room in the outside block. The room was rather small with no space for a second bedside table. However, the room was warm with thermostatically controlled radiators. There... More

Last went here before the "refurb". It used to be good. Now it is terrible. Went for dinner on a Sunday evening and it was not busy. Took 40mins to be served main course even though we ordered no starters. The food was shocking and very expensive. Was refunded 20% by manager who needs training on how to handle unhappy... More

Having had many fantastic mini breaks at inn keepers lodges around the country we did not have such a good time at the Bears Head. The Bears head is a beautiful building in Breteton Green. We stayed for a short break and were given a room in a block just to the side of the main building. It all looked... More

An overnight stay which was very good value at a special winter rate of £30pn. Only complaints that it was slightly noisy being just off a fairly busy road & the floor in the shower was smooth although a mat could be provided if requested. It could be dangerous for any disabled person. The staff were all friendly & helpful... More
