“Great sandwich Bar best cheese salad sandwich made fresh. Would recommend.”

“Newly renovated, modern pub with a small-but-good ale selection. Interesting spirit selection including flavoured gins. Pleasant outdoor seating with marvellous views and a dedicated parking area.”

“Hardly surprising this micro-bar is now a well established entry in the Good Beer Guide. A varied lineup of cask ales on offer, didn’t get round to try any of the numerous craft ales.”

“you’ll be hard pressed to find a more accommodating pub landlord in the city. the ambience is terrific as well”

“I’ve been using Chris Kings barbers for 8/9 years, even though I live miles away I will always travel to get my hair cut here. Chris, Sam and Josh are very skilled in their profession and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! 10/10”

“Great company. Products and service”

“Always a joy to visit the Contact hub, as a lover of architecture and design. Fun to sample Brew, the new cafe bar inside and break (cheesy) bread with artists and creatives.”

“Amazing authentic guest house. Location is ideal as it's central to Hollingworth Lake and Littleborough or Smithybridge Station. Rooms are spacious and ensuite. Tea and coffee and nibbles in the room and a big old bay window. Really friendly owner who couldn't do enough for me . Fully recommend as a solo, couples, or family visit.”

“Cannot recommend this beautiful venue highly enough. We chose by chance ahd couldn’t be happier. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left 3 days later the staff and owners were nothing less than perfect hosts. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the food was simply incredible, the venue is gorgeous and the atmosphere is so peaceful and chilled. Our room was stylish, beautifully furnished and comfortable. We will DEFINITELY be back. A hidden gem of a place.”

“What an amazing B&B. Sharon and Dave were simply wonderful hosts, with my family descending on them for the weekend for a nearby wedding. The beautiful flowers on the door were a good omen that we were in safe hands. The decor in the cottage was lovely and the whole place was well maintained. Sharon did a great job providing breakfast for all of us and they made us feel very welcome. It was a lovely break from urban life, would definitely recommend to others and I'd happily stay there again!”

“The epitome of New York style loft apartment living but right in the middle of Manchester. You are in the middle of a noisy city yet at night it's so quiet you'd think you were alone in the veritable middle-of-nowhere, probably something to do with the thick 19th century walls. An amazing glass house structure covers the whole of the centre of the quad and coffee drinkers can be often seen imbibing in this area. The building is grade II listed, which means the outside character and look has to be maintained. 24hr concierge and security along with hot water and heating included in the service charge really do make this one of the most desirable residences in central Manchester.”

“Very friendly and helpful staff.”

“My husband booked a surprise evening for us to see Macbeth. Upon arrival we were greeted by some lovely people and they were happy to answer a few questions we had. We arrived early as we’d read that the waiting area and bar can get a little busy. Drinks prices were reasonable and plenty of choice. I was pleasantly surprised when we then went through to the auditorium, it was bigger than I thought and everything looked great - the stage set was brilliant! The seats are comfortable and with a little break to stretch the legs helped. The theatre is set within a residential area so you may need to park and walk a little to it, this was no problem for us. I have to say the play itself was absolutely fantastic and well done to all the actors. The fight scenes were exciting, the weird sisters and their “bubbling” cauldron was great and the demise of Macbeth into utter madness was acted out brilliantly. We’ll definitely be visiting again. Our only disappointment is that we have to wait until next year to see another play - but we’ll definitely be there. Thanks for a great evening!”

“My 1st visit to this place. Went to watch Little Voice. Was a brilliant show in a pretty good theatre. Will be going again.”

“The Bowdon Rooms were amazing. Allison, Héléna, and the team were outstanding. Their attention to detail is second to none and we had nothing to worry about. From our first initial enquiry, right through to the wedding day itself Any questions we had were dealt with quickly. They put us at ease and let us enjoy the day. We couldn’t recommend The Bowdon Rooms enough for a wedding. A beautiful unique venue. Our guests were blown away, and we’ve had nothing but compliments since.”

“Amazing food, great service and unusual idea, all you can eat steak with the system of controlling when you wish to be served again by flipping the card from green to red. We visited last night for the first time and left really full and impressed. This is definitely not our last visit,the next time will probably come for bottomless service so drinks could flow as well. It's not cheap but it is worth the money. Everyone from the staff was very friendly and welcoming, the whole experience was just unforgettable including the deco and music. Thank you for having us and making our anniversary so special. See you again soon!”

“Food is always fresh and tastes great. Theo is a great chap too and always has a chat with you when time allows. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else.”

“This place is five ⭐ stars!! Afternoon event for a Holy Communion! Food, atmosphere and staff all amazing. A sense that they all enjoy their work!! Very clean and probably the best breakfast food I’ve had in years! Perfection!! Value for money also was a 5/5!!!! My son who has autism enjoyed his food and ate it so that’s a big compliment!!! We will be back!!!”

“Cosy cafe with great selection of breakfast and dinner options. Food is very good and prices are good. A great way to start your morning”

“There most .mornings when I'm dropping cars off, plus he's spot on bloke”

“Popped in early for great Sunday breakfast. Excellent service, super big tasty plate full of all the right stuff plus very good coffee/tea. Very clean and cheerful place. Credit to the owners.”

“Fantastic little tea room. I'm not one for writing reviews, but felt this place really deserved one. Very busy when we arrived, we were lucky to get some comfy chairs in the window. Amazing bacon bap with lovely thick tasty bacon from the local butcher, huge mug of delicious black coffee, very happy to pay £6.95. Charming staff, will definitely be back.”
