Hollin Hall Country House Hotel

An imposing Victorian country manor hotel by the Peak District - includes breakfast, plus a cream tea for two or a five-course tasting dinner

Cheshire has its fair share of grand Victorian country manor houses, one of them being Hollin Hall Country House Hotel near Macclesfield, set among four acres of private landscaped grounds in the village of Bollington. A splendid example of 19th-century Gothic style, with regal turret and gabled roofs, it really comes into its own in the hall-like entrance lobby, complete with marble pillars, oak staircase and stained glass dome. Elsewhere you can stretch out by an ornate fireplace with crackling log fire or enjoy a tipple in the swish cocktail lounge.

Despite its handy proximity to the market town of Macclesfield, many guest rooms boast a picturesque rural outlook over expansive green fields, while the hotel gardens make for a pleasant stroll. If you fancy a more challenging walk then the wild and wonderful Pennines and Peak District National Park are just a short drive away. Having worked up an appetite, you can enjoy dinner in The Ridge Restaurant – headed up by an award-winning chef and renowned for its classic British fare with a modern twist. After a grand day out, close to home you can take your pick of impressive 20 different pubs – hence this area being known as the ‘Happy Valley’.

Good to know

The hotel is a popular wedding and event venue so may be a tad lively at weekends. Complimentary parking is available on site.
