As I needed to stay in the Manchester area the night before an early business meeting I decided to look around for something different from the usual bland corporate hotel experience that is normal for business travellers like myself. So with one eye on price and the other on gaining an overall better experience I booked The Villas Residence. In... More

This hotel was fantastic when I went October last year. The owner was very welcoming, offered my wife and I, a class of champagne on arrival. He also allowed our dog to stay in the hotel with us. The decor is amazing, with many old antiques and classy furniture. You really don't feel like home when you stay here. It... More

We stayed here for our wedding night. What a truley amazing house! So much thought and love has gone into the decoration and furnishings. Such a homely, friendly atmosphere and very romantic.

An amazingly good hotel with spacious room, (comfy bed!), surrounded by loads of fabulous and interesting antiques, but best of all was the incredibly friendly welcome and assistance we received from the host; We had requested advice on a restaurant for the evening, and Paul kindly arranged a table, and taxi to a gorgeous one.

We were looking for somewhere to stay on the night of a friend's wedding. I googled 'hotels near...' and was expecting the usual dull, corporate selection. True there were a number of large faceless establishments available but then I saw The Villas. 'That's more like it' I thought so I booked a room. When we checked in Paul was very... More

This is a wonderful place to stay much better than the tired hotels in the surrounding area. Clean, comfortable and run by somebody who is interested in customer service. Great value I hope we will have reason to go again.
