“The team in this shop are great and nothing is too much trouble. You get a great service and they are very friendly and knowledgeable. It's our go to travel agent !”

“Excellent experience, very smooth booking.”

“I booked my holiday through Isobel at the TUI Superstore and the whole experience was genuinely brilliant. I popped into the store a few weeks ago and she gave me a perfectly curated shortlist of options based on exactly what I was looking for. She really listened — and it showed. Every recommendation was spot-on, to the point it was actually hard to choose. After taking some time to think, I called back and Isobel helped me tailor our top choice and get it booked seamlessly over the phone. The entire process felt supported, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable. Having her expert knowledge on hand meant I finally felt confident in my decision… instead of disappearing into weeks (let’s be honest, months) of online scrolling and still booking nothing. Thank you, Isobel — you turned what could’ve been a faff into something effortless. I’ll absolutely be booking with you again.”

“This was our second visit to Kerridge End and we had another comfortable stay in The Hayloft. Good facilities for a wheelchair user with a lovely wetroom and shower chair provided. Very well equipped cottage having everything we needed. A lovely hamper was left for us on arrival and a delicious plate of homemade scones and jam too. Plenty of places to visit in the area.”

“We had vegetarian food and it was lovely. The foul with hummus was really delicious and everything else was lovely too. Friendly staff. Clean place. Decent price. Would definitely repeat”

“I’ve been here twice. It’s quiet, clean and pleasant. The staff is wonderful, always available to assist with kindness. I’ll surely come back again.”

“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!”

“After our holiday was cancelled this morning due to the global IT issues, we headed to Admiral in Cheadle to save our holiday and they did just that! Amanda was great, she trawled through so many options, destinations, dates and airports to try and get us away this week - took all the stress away from our morning ordeal, checked us in, everything sorted and fir a good price too. Chris, bless him bought us a bottle of wine to cheer us up, so very thoughtful. Definitely will be a returning customer, friendly and efficient service with some great recommendations. THANK YOU!!!”

“A big thank you to Yuri at the Manchester Fort branch for helping us book our holiday. He was very diligent in his approach and it was a seamless journey throughout the booking process. Thank you to the wider team for their warm welcome too.”

We recommend them to all our friends and family. We move to Australia next week, and my boyfriend let them know , and we had some extra goodies in our bag Can’t thank you guys enough for keeping us fed”

“One of the best bacon and egg on toast I've had in a long time”

“Call in here quite often for their cooked breakfast. Always fresh and always tasty. I haven't tried any of their other food that's on the menu but if their breakfast is anything to go by it should be good.”

“Popped in the first time last week, then again this week. Their food especially chips (not fries) are massive and crispy and lovely MUCH better than chip shop ones.. imagine chip shop sized but French crisp fried! All food is clean and hot! (not greasy) properly cooked and delicious. And a breakfast for 5.50 is amazing! My new hangout!”

I hope there is some way of passing on our thanks to her.”

“I recently had to change my booking due to an unexpected family circumstance, and Ruby was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She worked tirelessly to update my booking and ensure everything was perfect for me. Ruby's dedication, patience, and exceptional customer service turned a stressful situation into a seamless experience. I can't thank her enough for her hard work and professionalism. If you ever need assistance, Ruby is the one to go to.”

“Staff are welcoming and helpful. They have a vast knowledge of the travel industry. Particularly in assisting those of us who are not technically modernised. I have used this company numerous times over many years”

“Our ”Tuesday club” went to birdandbeemcr today for the first time. They were 5 of us (usually 7) and we all opted for the bacon bun. Now this was not just any bacon bun - it was filled with crispy streaky bacon, with a cheesy, sumptuous little omelette on top - some of us had it on brioche & some on local sourdough. With pot of freshly brewed tea to go with it, it was delicious. One of us had a latte which was very professionally done too. They’ve only been open for a week but we’ll definitely to back to sample more great food. Sorry I didn’t take a pic but I’d finished it before I remembered!”

“Oh wow …what a lovely service and the food was just delicious!!! We had a paella with black rice and it was just to die for. Shame I don’t live in Manchester as I would always want to go back there. The deserts were delicious as well.”
