I have been to many hotels/guesthouses and I make sure they are 4 star minimum. I fail to understand how this is a 4 star accommodation. I booked for 2 nights,I entered the building to check in and rules were being told to me. ‘You cannot eat fast food in your room we ask you kindly to eat in the cafe where cutlery is provided’… very unusual for a 4 star not to let you eat in your room.Now the room, it had a runner on top for show but on closer inspection it felt like it had it’s been used a few times unwashed from the looks. The en suite the washroom smelt AWFUL gutter smell ..DISGUSTING.So now here comes the most serious and unprofessional part. Check out time was 10.30am. My wife and I were staying in the accommodation, I was showering and the owner knocked on 10.30 sharp at the door, my wife opened whilst I was in the shower and he tapped his watch and said time to check out. My wife said just a moment, I came out at 10.40 and then the owner knocked on the door and was shouting you are 15 minutes overtime and knocking on the door saying time to leave. My wife opened the door just to say we are closing bags and leaving he was force opening the door and said let me see and my wife was preventing him coming and then started accusing us of eating in the room when we did not. 15 mins later he comes again storms in and says time to leave and lifts a hand luggage out of the room and being shouted out LEAVE and being tagged as IRRESPONSIBLE’ I was shocked, It felt like the owner was letting me live for free and now kicking me out!To top it off when we we came downstairs a woman was also saying we are disrespectful and that in 31 years they never came across people like us and checked our 30 mins late. My wife told her we are not disrespectful and she said because of us they missed their Sunday church service. Nowhere in the bible does it say to treat your guests you accommodate with disrespect. I quote the bible, ‘Luke 6:31 Treat others just as you want to be treated’

Lovely guest house in a central location with parking. Close to the tram stop and an easy canal walk into Sale for choice of bars and eateries. The owner is very friendly and efficient and gave us useful tips for our stay in the area. The whole house is tastefully decorated with attention to detail and has lovely landscaped gardens that screen any traffic noise from the road. Breakfast is very good and any requests are welcomed. Room was light, airy and the bed comfortable with lovely crisp bedding. We would definitely recommend and return with pleasure.

Beautiful guest house of about 9 rooms with a lovely host and free parking (accessible via the back). Very reasonably priced with a range of room options - don't be worried by the 'shared bathroom' for these are very clean and looked after. Well decorated throughout, shared lounge and dining area looked comfortable and inviting. Good location with short walks into Sale centre and to Brooklands Tram stop. Convenient with a small Morrison's across the road. Very comfortable bed, clean room and soft bedding.
