We visited on a warm balmy evening and the sun setting over the hills was the prelude to some excellent food. Italian meats, cheeses, anchovies, Greek salad, sea bass all presented in excellent fashion - what more could you ask for ? OK, Spanish lager, G&T and red wine also helped but if you want a relaxing evening in good... More

We stopped over in the Rake recently and our experience was fantastic. Mark and his team are polite, professional and very hospitable. The rooms in the Rake are probably the best we have stopped in and Mark's breakfast is total quality. This was are second stay in the Rake and we can't wait for our next visit.

I stayed here for one night in April on a work trip because I was keen to avoid chain hotels around the motorway. Despite Littleborough being tucked in the hills outside Rochdale and requiring a bit of an extra drive for me, I made absolutely the right decision. This place is absolutely delightful: the rooms are newly and beautifully done... More

I just stayed here last week. The owner chef is really hospitable with nothing too much trouble . Room was spacious and modern in the context of 16th.century stone building . The extensive tapas menu all prepared freshly by Mark the chef was faultless . I highly recommend this gem in a quiet location good value and comfortable stay

On arrival the staff were very attentive and the owner/boss Mark was an absolute diamond!! He came to our room to introduce himself and shortly after we went to the bar for... More

We stayed at The Rake for three nights over the Christmas period, arriving in the evening on Christmas Eve. We could not have received a warmer welcome - even though the staff had an incredibly busy tapas restaurant to deal with! Our room was lovely, beautifully done. A big thank you to The Rake for a very very comfortable Christmas.... More

The staff could not do more for us and the food was delicious.The choice for breakfast was enormous and freshly cooked. We will be returning and... More

we have just arrived home from celebrating our son's 10th birthday - he asked us to arrange a meal in a tapas restaurant - because it's his favourite!! Let me just say it was fab and he was not disappointed!! It was our first time at the restaurant, and we had heard excellent reviews about it. Our honest opinion was,... More
