The Alderley Edge Hotel Experience

Jonathan Schofield relaxes with a view, the paper, the Beaune Supremacy and the best puddings in the region.

Oh to be in Cheshire now that spring is sprung: Nodding daffodils, wine bars, stirring walks through beech woods, fine Victorian houses and linen and keys. ( And for that matter, oh to be in Cheshire now that spring is sprung, and one of the perks of the jobs dictates that you get to stay over to road test one of the reader deals).

But linen and keys, what am I on about?

Well the Alderley Edge Hotel ties with the Lowry Hotel for the best presented tables in the region. It wins on the charm front at the point of bedroom entry, by proudly sporting old-fashioned jangly keys. The bedrooms behind are cute and folksy and include a mightily well-stocked bar, a great little bathroom and all the usual internet links and so forth.

Those in north facing rooms get an uninterrupted view across the whole of Greater Manchester to the West Pennines 15 miles away. Beetham Tower and the city centre’s mini Las Angeles profile is very clear. At night when the street-lights come on it’s perhaps even more impressive. Humbling to think that contained in that view is the whole of Greater Manchester’s 2.5m population.

Now that’s what I call lunch

Mike Cowley finds foodie heaven at the Alderley Edge Restaurant.

In the vast desert of culinary mediocrity in which discerning food lovers too often find themselves today, there is still at least one oasis of excellence and good taste (in both sense of the phrase) to be found in Cheshire.

The Alderley Edge Restaurant at Alderley Edge Hotel stand apart as a bastion of fine dining.

Here is one establishment that has not succumbed to a menu where average food blends with above average prices, it’s not the sort of place where having paid up a wallet squeezing bill you wish you’d stayed at home.
