What guests think

At De Trafford Arms by Chef & Brewer Collection, travellers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff and the attached pub/restaurant, while many note dated rooms with maintenance niggles and a general need for refurbishment across some areas.

Cleanliness is usually acceptable but inconsistent, with occasional reports of stains, damp smells, or missed housekeeping. The location in Alderley Edge is convenient for shops, the high street, the station, and Manchester Airport. Amenities draw mixed feedback: parking is available but spaces can be tight, the lift has been out of service at times, and Wi-Fi/TV reliability varies. Good for short stays when convenience matters most.

Lovely hotel, slightly tired, great value, helpful and friendly staff, fabulous breakfast. Clean room though a little mould top in bathroom where wall and ceiling meet, bath surround peeling slightly at bottom. Comfortable bed. Car park is not huge - think we had the last space on the Friday evening. Food good, drinks expensive, breakfast the star of the show - though thermos hot water and coffee not at the standard of the food. Lift was out of order when we arrived (and is clunky) but only 2 floors so not a disaster for many people.

Room was generally clean but dated and below average condition. No fan in the bathroom, a tap thar wouldn't turn off and a TV that wouldn't work - reported the latter to reception but not addressed. Staff in the restaurant are very friendly. Parking is available but spaces can be limited and are quite tight in places.

Slightly tired rooms but a lovely pub/restaurant with great staff. Fantastic location just at the top of the high street and only a couple of minutes from the National Trust property. A bit noisy but that’s the price you pay for the location. Recommended!

Greene King really need to spend some money here. The pub and restaurant downstairs are very nice, the staff are very friendly and helpful but the room is so, so tired. That was most apparent in the bathroom, which was very small, dark and the toilet leaked a little.

I always enjoy staying here - nice location, friendly staff, quirky rooms, nice pub downstairs. Be warned that this is not a standard, generic hotel! An older building with "character", which I enjoy but others may not. Would not be good if you have mobility issues: lots of stairs (even in the rooms), small elevator, baths difficult to enter/exit. Internet OK but spotty in some locations. Walls are fairly thin (you can hear your neighbors talking) but I've never heard the pub patrons, even when on the 1st floor, and hall-mates are almost always very quiet so this is very seldom a problem. Pub downstairs has lots of space and is usually quite quiet - good place to have a quiet chat or get some work done.

The rooms are dated, the bathroom was in need of upgrade or just basic maintenance, the shower curtain needed replacing, it smelt damp and made the whole room smell. For where the hotel is, it did not suit it's surroundings, the pub downstairs was kept in good order but the breakfast was lacking in flavor and the bean portion was worse than Wetherspoons.

Comfortable and generally clean (although my daughter regretted looking under her bed!). Décor is tired and in need of a spruce up but it was very affordable and the bedding was clean and bed comfy. The Receptionist upon arrival and the one on departure were both lovely and welcoming. The guy in the breakfast hall not so much, adamant I had only paid for 5 breakfasts, not 6. This was easily cleared up at Reception and I was correct!

Peeling & dirty Bathroom window frames in need of redecorating. Very poor lighting as only 1 of 3 overhead lights worked & 2 bedside lights low voltage. Comfotable bed & clean linen.

We had a two night stay here in May. Firstly I’d like to say that the staff were superb especially Lucy who seemed to be there every second of every day looking after us checking in, out, breakfast and dinner. Thank you so much. The rooms were clean and the beds were big snd very comfortable. Excellent location in a lovejy area with shops a 2 minute walk away and the station 5 mins away to get into central Manchester. Overall a really nice stay in a nice clean hotel.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, apart from knowing nothing about the local bus service. The food in the restaurant was really good, plenty to choose from. The only thing I couldn't bear was the loud music playing every morning at breakfast. It is definitely not for those with sensory difficulties or preferring a peaceful start to your day. I was quite peeved that on arrival, the booking price had increased by £97 which was a bit of a shock. Keep this in mind - prices change daily apparently. There were issues with the TV and getting the temperature with the water but house keeping came and sorted this - and the bath is extremely slippery. It's set in a lovely location with plenty of shops and places to eat. I would definitely recommend it.
