The Stanneylands

This stylish country house is decked out with all of the commodities you could need. Incredibly comfy beds in quirky rooms that bring the countryside inside. The forest themed wallpapers and teddy bears on the bed will have you feeling like going on a teddy bear's picnic. The hotel is surrounded by 4 acres of enchanting woodland and landscaped gardens so they'd be a perfect destination for an evening stroll with some champagne and cakes. Or opt to stay at the hotel for afternoon tea, and enjoy the impeccable service offered by the staff. Whatever you do, make sure to wake up early enough to experience the traditional English breakfast, complete with baked beans, a swirly sausage, black pudding, bacon, and hash brown. 

Explore the picturesque town of Wilmslow and relax in one of the independent cafes, or venture out a little further to explore the beauty of Cheshire. There are lots of National Trust Heritage sites in the area, think little bridges over rocky streams, or manor houses like those from a Jane Austen novel. The nearby town of Chester is home to the largest zoo in England but also known for its extensive Roman walls and half-timber Tudor-style buildings. For a more metropolitan experience, Manchester is just a short drive/train journey away.
