De Vere Cranage Estate

We decided on same day to book this hotel last minute as had just arrived back to Manchester airport and wanted to extend holiday time a day longer. We wanted somewhere within range of the Peak District with a pool and Spa facilities etc and De Vere Cranage estate came up in the search looking like it fitted the bill. It didn't disappoint. Scenic well maintained grounds and good parking on arrival. Quick check in with friendly professional staff. Room was a double on lower floor. Decent size comfortable bed and pillows. Large tv, good wifi, safe, fan, additional heater, iron and board. Tea/coffee making facilities with biscuits etc. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room plus extensive gym facilities which are complementary for guests and open from around 07:30 till 20:00 which is good. Very hot sauna and steam room which is what I always hope for. All nice and clean as well. Keypad lockers you just enter a four digit sequence of your choice twice to set it. (I had to ask a guest to show me as hadn't paid attention) We had a fantastic lovely sunny day and warm evening there so we watched the sunset in a cloudless sky in the grounds along with others. Breakfast was very good although we arrived at peak time so was busy. A good range on offer that I can't fault at all. I will most certainly use this hotel when in the area again and give it 10 out of 10.

Clean room, staff was lovely and enough parking

Great hotel

Overall, disappointing. Room was fine, as expected. I decided to dine in the bar which was very disappointing. No atmosphere and not welcoming. Quality of food was very poor and my only solace was that I didn’t pay £19 for breakfast. Maybe it was a just bad day for the hotel but I wouldn’t return.

Yes very good all round freindly staff and it was all clean and hot tub was warm.
