Hollin Hall Country House Hotel & Restaurant in Cheshire East

An absolutely appalling Sunday lunch. Staff in hotel reception were too busy chatting to direct us to the restaurant. On entering the restaurant there was no one to book us in, A staff member at the bar continued a casual conversation without acknowledging us. 5 minutes later took us to a table. The vegetarian item was different to the advertised item with our Wowcher deal menu. We ordered and after waiting some time but the starters didn't arrive, instead our main course arrived, we had not had our starter! An afternoon tea also arrived, but was not our order! The main course went back to the kitchen and given the assurance that we would have a completely fresh meal cooked. The server gave the excuse that the 'chef' had his mind on the wedding reception they were also catering for. Our starters were eaten and upon taking away the dirty plates we were asked if we would like to see the dessert menu! (We had not had our main courses). Our main courses arrived but bypassed us to head to a different table, eventually arriving at our table. It was as predicted, very much on the cool side. The image we had seen on Hollin Hall's website was nothing like the meal we were served. The Yorkshire Pudding was small, completely unrisen and undercooked. No stuffing was served with the chicken. The vegetables chopped into small rubbery chunks of carrots, parsnips and onion were rubbery and overcooked. All the food was lukewarm. No checkback was made during the meal. As the plates were cleared we were asked if the meal was OK, but had to be honest and report it was the worst Sunday lunch we had ever eaten. The server apologised saying they were short staffed as they had a wedding on! As we got up to leave no one came to offer the bill or take our voucher, so we had to leave it on their reception desk. No one bid us goodbye or thanked us for our custom. We felt very undervalued. I suggest on such occasions they should not even attempt to serve what they advertise as a Sunday Lunch when they are catering for weddings. Without a doubt we will NOT be returning for any reason. Avoid at all costs.

Food was average. Service was slow (despite being empty)and what kind of restaurant serves a roast dinner but has no mustard or mint sauce!?

Italian restaurant with an english cook (the Italian cook left recently). Indeed the lasagna was over baked, in a too big bowl, tasting flat like yesterday made. Of course, we complained, twice. No reaction from chef or from waiter. No compensation, no apologies. No tip either.

What a generous host at Hollin Hall Hotel ! We arrived a big ( slightly noisy ) family of 14 who needed food and relaxation due to an older family member having been unwell -and this was a family reunion . We couldnt have been made to feel More welcome - food orders were adapted to suit our needs -so grateful ! Thankyou ❤️

WENT FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER 8 ADULTS 2 CHILDREN WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH, The food was cold/burnt/dry also a shortage of gravy at£70 per adult per head i expected better it spoilt our Christmas Day l would recommend people stay away as myself/family and friends will be doing

Quite a limited menu but nevertheless a very good one. Lovely decor inside the main dining room. Excellent service from Jacob, who was very attentive and charming

Well what can I say .i have been going to this hotel for year's. And the hotel and the food was just ok. BUT since the new owners have took over 18months ago the hotel has got better and better I have just been with my wife for a night away and the room was spotless the staff was just amazing and this is to the chef his food was just fantastic the breakfast was hot tasty, and plenty of it .i would just like to say from my wife and myself thank you for a amazing night away

The meal was served cold, after two requests it was heated in a microwave by the waitress as no one was available in the kitchen. The ultimate result was sludge like vegtables, due. to additional heating. The main meal was roast beef and and no condiments were available. They were out of stock of horseradish sauce. It would appear that their clients were an inconvenience and no effort was made to provide any reasonable dining experience. Wine was no longer available included in the dining package as outlined on their website but an expensive extra if required. We will never use this restaurant again.

Absolutely brilliant from the moment we arrived . very friendly, curtious staff . The decor is beautiful and the food was amazing beautifully presented and flavoursome.ThankYou for a wonderful afternoon we will return.. Barb and Bob

The hotel was in a nice location Bedroom clean other than that never again Food was disgusting the breakfast was the worse I have ever tasted evening meal same every night . Afternoon tea was priced at £17 £19 at weekends was also horrible very poor quality . The staff only one waitress was lovely the rest not at all friendly . I will not be staying here again Sorry overpriced and disgusting poor quality food and general service . Only positive good location clean bedroom Thanks Mila / Carol

Excellent value two course lunch with wine . Hot and plentiful. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Much better than the usual deals around lately. Service was good. Overall a good experience. Deducted one point as supplements expensive .

Lovely area and village, hotel is currently an average 3*, in need of a bit of TLC with decorating, peeling paint in bathroom and restaurant ceiling looks like water leak or damp patch, but having said that for we paid for a one night stay £89 for two of us this inc two course meal, bottle of wine and breakfast it was very good value and would recommend to anyone via woucher. The room, bedding and towels were exceptional clean and the staff can not do enough for you - overall very pleasant stay.

We had one evening meal and 2 breakfasts in the restaurant. It looks as though it has been decorated fairly recently although there are some badly marked dining chairs and areas of the carpet. Our evening meal and bottle of prosecco was included in our Groupon deal and it was exceptional both in presentation and taste. For starters we had Duck & orange pate, and trio of haddock & smoked salmon fish-cakes with tartare sauce. For mains we had a butternut squash & spring onion risotto and a chicken, parmentier potatoes, butternut squash, cherry tomatoes & chimichurri. There were supplements for the sweets (£4.50 for cheeseboard and £3 for chocolate tart) that we ordered. Breakfast on the first morning was OK. No buffet due to Covid. We both had fresh fruit salad and yogurt, toast and a freshly cooked full English breakfast. Unfortunately my bacon was so hard I could not eat it. The second morning the bacon was fine but there was NO fruit available, only yogurt!

We stayed for 2 nights the room throughout the visit had a musky damp smell, rooms are clean but need a good refurb, all our clothes were damp and I had to keep having a shower to get the feeling off my skin. I have come away with a cold as there was no working heating in the room, paid £100 a night I expect the room to be warm, staff make up for the poor rooms.

We stayed for one night . Did not expect a great deal for the price , £89 for two. Double room, dinner with wine, breakfast . Hotel looked pleasant from the outside with plenty of parking . Quick check in process, following COVID rules . Room was modern, clean and bright . Sheets , towels and bedding were clean and ironed . Toiletries , tea tray etc were plentiful and clean. Very warm throughout the hotel , but our bedroom window opened onto the garden view, which was nice. Two course dinner was tasty and not the usual pub fare ! Duck, crab,fish, veggie or chicken . Mediterranean style cuisine . We added dessert for a small extra cost . Well cooked and presented modern fare . The wine was also very nice, included in the deal. We slept well. Breakfast was Ok, eggs a little cold , but edible. Plentiful coffee . Pleasant staff on check out . A very good example of value for money . We would have no hesitation in returning. The only improvement would be a tin of paint to improve the appearance of where new locks had been fitted on the bedroom doors . Painting over the damaged wood would lift the doors and make them more attractive . We wish you luck in this present situation , which must make it hard for hospitality venues .

Recently had a fabulous three course meal in this beautifully decorated hotel restaurant.Food,service and ambience in these differcult times was outstanding.Looking forward to returning soon

Trying hard to be a high end restaurant and not quite there. My husband had Chicken Chassuer one night, which consisted of half a chicken breast, one fondant potato, 2 green beans and a spoonful of peas which cost £16.50!!!

Covid 19 is a common excuse in many restaurants as to a limited menu. Very tired room with blown opaque double glazing, couldn't even see out!

my friend and i stayed over and we had a lovely welcome from reception, our room was also lovely, the food was fab and plenty of it, the staff were all very nice. breakfast was served hot and freshly cooked. will stay again in warmer weather

We stayed here for 1 night and enjoyed the cheese board In the bar. which was plentiful and delicious, Our room was clean and comfortable, We were lucky enough to have the steak and shiraz evening meal, the steak was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed a full English breakfast which was delicious and gave excellent breakfast choices, The staff are truly amazing, we were made to feel very welcome from the moment we checked In until check out, The restaurant staff were professional friendly and accommodating especially Sean.. will definitely be returning.

Don't book table with these people, I rang to book a table and because I told them I had a voucher, they tried to tell me they had no room for a Sunday lunch for two people for the next two weeks! Then when I intimated I would complain, the receptionist refused to tell me her name. I eventually established the persons name. What sort of operation is this? This place and their staff have no integrity. when you try to book a table on line ...there are none available on any Sunday for the next 12 months, a likely story!!! I will be testing their availability !

The menu has plenty of great options on it. Large helpings and the puddings are very tempting and tasty. Do give it a try

James manager Sean deputy Judith waitress Tommy and Joe chef all fantastic stayed with our 2dogs Toby and Allfie in room 9 could not have been looked after better the food is fantastic and the refurbishment will get there and they will fly then great stay from janette and John and Toby and Algiers

Poor quality food, rude staff and unable to accommodate our dietary requirements. Worse afternoon tea ever. Sat in front of a window facing the bins!!! We would definitely not recommend it, waste of money.

Excellent food and service. Interesting choices, food of a very high standard, very friendly, smart and efficient staff. We will definitely return, and they have a brilliant offer on currently for Sunday lunch. Enjoyed very much. Lovely surroundings in the hotel.

The hotel is very nice the food was very nice . BUT There was six of us which equals three rooms . All booked on groupon , two couples booked in no problem, the third was not so easy . On arrival there was no room reservation for couple number three . We had proof of booking and proof of payment. Yet the manager called Lynne said there was no reservation and no proof of payment... after showing them the email and paypal payment Lynne still continued to approach us throughout our stay to say I can't find on there system of a booking ... i can not believe that as a paying customer that the manager which approved all three rooms on arrival is still asking for proof of booking and payment. This is not expected as far as I'm concerned the matter has been resolved at arrival. The rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful... bottom line make sure you have the barcode from groupon or you will be in for a complicated stay which is not worth the £119 for one night.

Visited today with a good friend for afternoon tea, sandwiches freshly made & lovely choice of cakes & scones, beautifully fresh. Hollin Hall is a lovely relaxing setting, the service is excellent. Highly recommended, could not fault a single thing.

We had a wonderful stay at Hollin Hall country hotel and ate both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. The entire stay was lovely and relaxing. The food was brilliant as was the service, by friendly caring staff that nothing was too much trouble for. They are in the process of upgrading the hotel and so far they have done a lovely job. Will love to come back when it is finished and see the results.

We stayed 2 nights for my birthday in room 71.It was a great room clean and newly painted.The restaurant is excellent.We really enjoyed our stay.Will definitely stay again.

We stopped at the hotel for 2 nights and whilst the breakfast wasnt great (bacon had been standing and had dried up) the evening meal was absolutely fabulous. Great quality and beautiful flavours. Good size portions too. Would definately eat there again.

Our children bought us a 2 night get away with 3course evening meal on the first night and breakfast on both mornings for our last years Christmas present, they get one most years and we always keep it till September to use . Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed to find the lack of choice on the 3 choice evening meal deal and was extremely disappointed with the very small al a carte menu !!! And we had a drink in the bar beforehand and my husband had to send 2 regular bitters which were on tap ! Back and There was no Zinfandel so I had a glass of house wine and charged £6.95 which we thought was over the top .

A really great dining room with a simple but comprehensive menu. Food really well cooked and served with a smile. Recommend this place.

I’ve already written a disappointing review regarding the accommodation and our stay; however, it would be unfair of me not to say how excellent the food was. We had bought a DB&B; deal through Wowcher, so I wasn’t expecting too much from the 3 course dinner. The staff in the restaurant were very attentive and professionally polite. They bought our complimentary glass of prosecco to the table and took our wine and food order. A small simple menu to choose from, but all 3 courses we ordered was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. The food was excellent.

A very good Sunday lunch menu - a bit limited but all our party found somthing they fancied. Not a morsal was left which spoke volumes about the quality. Service was a bit slow but there were two or three large parties so probaby not the sandard they would like to offer.

After a bad experience in the hotel was very pleasantly surprised at the high standard of food we received for dinner. We had 3 courses which were all faultless. Presentation and taste were exceptional. Choice was not massive but were at least a couple of options to decide between. Would recommend to any one in area to give the restaurant a try , but stay elsewhere!

Stayed in hotel for one night had 3 course dinner. Service and presentation was first class, food was delicious. Good choice available. Very capable chef.

Had breakfast, evening meal and lunch here twice. I found the food to be very nice. Breakfasts could have been better. The evening meals had a small menu but the steaks was nice and i would recommended this. Made up for a terrible hotel.

The food was ok but as very put off by dirty window sills food up The curtains veryoff putting whenplace is not clean

We were staying in the hotel for a few days, so went to the restaurant on the first night.

lovely 3 course meal, no complaints at all, everything well cooked and tasty. I had the pate to start which was really tasty, then the chicken which was lovely and moist followed by a gorgeous stick toffee pudding.

1st night dinner was good, 2nd night waited over 45 minutes for main course to arrive. Felt like we were invisible. Then told mix up in kitchen with the orders. Ruined our stay.

our daughter had purchased a wowcher for our xmas gift a 2 night at the Hollins country house hotel .bed breakfast evening meal one night and a cream tea with a glass of prosecco each. IT was booked for 31st March 2019, coinciding with mothers day. we arrived on late on the saturday afternoon, I had rung earlier to ask if we could have the evening meal on the saturday and the cream tea sunday afternoon. NOT a problem we were told as we were staying the 2 nights. WE had a super evening meal and were looked after very well. the next day we decided to explore the surrounding countryside. we visited LYME COUNTRY HOUSE AND PARK. but as we needed to be back for the arranged cream tea at 4pm. we did not eat much. we arrived back at 3;;30pm startled to find our room had not been cleaned or the bed made.We hastily washed and went down for the allotted time of 4pm. the resturant was very full with dinners after all it was mothers day, families were out together. feeling hungry and a bit tired we were led to a table. completely bare. no tablecloth, or any thing, I said we had come to have the cream tea that had been booked. My husband and I sat down a few minutes later someone came with a tray contains 2 cups saucers and a small pot of tea. I was appalled ALL THE TABLES IN THE RESTAURANT HAD WHITE TABLECLOTHS ON, i rather loudly said stop where is the tablecloth. I was really upset and felt very uncomfortable . We were then told well I should never have been here today, the waitress then left and returned 10 mins later with a small white table cloth. I felt very embarrassed by this as I should not have raised my voice and I apologised stating i was very sorry for saying it so abruptly. the table now set with the cups and tea pot. She came back then with two small scones a small pot of jam and small pot of cream. That was it. I stared at this in disbelief

27members of our club attended today for lunch. The food was exemplary served in a beautiful room by excellent staff. Very happy ladies

The food is served in a very elegant dining room by efficient staff, the high standard of cuisine sets it apart form many and it was hot tasty and well presented.

We had dinner included in a gift voucher stay at this hotel and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The restaurant is comfortable with plenty of tables for couples. Service was prompt and the food delicious. I rarely enjoy all 3 Courses but every element of my meal was piping hot and very tasty.

A lovely afternoon tea was enjoyed by myself and my daughter. Very helpful staff and lovely surroundings

We had home made sweet potato and carrot soup with crispy rolls and a really tasty chicken meal in a superb sauce followed by a tasty dessert

Beautiful hotel, lots of different spaces to relax in, fabulous real fires and really helpful and lovely staff who looked after us so well- nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic situation with walks from the front door. Will definitely be back!

I had both bar and restaurant food and both were utterly delicious, with an interesting and appetising menu, which made it difficult to choose!

Melt in the mouth beef, a mountainous Yorkshire pud, roasties that have everything a toasty should. I finished my meal and immediately wanted the same again.

Stayed here last night for my birthday. It was a woucher deal and included cream tea and prossecco on arrival a two course evening meal and bed and breakfast. We were very satisfied with what we got. The room was very nice, although not a good view, just a brick wall, but as it was just for one night so not really important. The meal was very good and well presented. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place

We were with 4 friends. We have been before which when telling people about a great experience, one wonders if this was a one off. We booked again and it was lovely again. A very well presented with white linen tablecloth and napkins, china teacups and delicious sandwich fingers with hot scone and clotted cream and very fresh cakes. Beautiful orangery setting and as the weather was lovely we sat outside looking over the beautiful countryside. Well done Hollin Hall.

We enjoyed two buffet lunches, a dinner and breakfast in this delightful bright, light and pleasant restaurant. The selection of food was on each occasion excellent. The wine list at dinner was also good

Didn't try starters as we had seen the deserts being served and wanted to leave room for the Hollin Hall Chocolate..

Just ok ,nice cakes prosecco, good service but the sandwiches had obviously been prepared well ahead and left out as it was dry and hard . Nice visit but ive had better afternoon teas so wouldnt return

I was taken here for afternoon tea a few days ago. The setting in the countryside is beautiful. The conservatory style restaurant is most attractive and the atmosphere relaxing. The food was good but sadly the service was not up to standard. We had to wait to attract the attention of the waitress and she was rather sullen to say the least. A shame when everything else was so good.

We came here using a deal and it was well worth it. The food was stunning and the views from the restaurant were lovely. I would recommend you come here and the portions were good. The drive here wasn't easy but I will definitely come back.

Had Dinner in this restaurant one evening and the food was well cooked and presented,worth a visit if in the area

We are staying at the hotel and ate at the restaurant, however even if not staying here I would recommend it. The food came quick and was hot, we had 3 courses and all were fabulous! Overall a lovely experience.

What a lovely afternoon we had today! Excellent food! Service was outstanding, would highly recommend.

We arrived here this afternoon to discover a wedding taking place. Huge disappointment to us as we were looking forward to a lovely peaceful 1 night stay. I did ask the receptionist if this would impact on our stay and she said no, completely disagree, this wedding party literally took over the hotel, very noisy drunken party, we have paid to stay here too and feel that my concerns were completely disregarded. Visitors should be warned prior that a wedding is taking place to give them the choice to book elsewhere. Ridge restaurant very nice as was the waitress and service. Room nice and clean although very hot, there was a fan supplied so all was good. We had a dinner bed and breakfast deal, good price and good food.

We arrived at the Hall having booked a table in the Ridge restaurant. We were shown into the modern conservatory that is the restaurant. There was one vegetarian option on the menu. We asked if there was a vegetarian menu. 'No' said the waitress as she walked away. We looked at the wine list and ordered a Viognier. We tasted it and it was foul - not off, just horrible. We were told that we would have to pay for the bottle as it had been opened. Without a decent wine or a choice of food, we decided that this was not really going to be a pleasant evening (my birthday) so we left. They did tell us as we got up that we wouldn't have to pay for the wine. Now if you are in charge of buying wine for this hotel may I recommend that you taste the stuff before you expect your guests to shell out good money for it? Waiting staff, if you have a vegetarian who doesn't like aubergines, say, 'I'll go and have a word with the chef and see what we can do'. Management, train your staff so that you have fewer poor reviews in the future.

We have booked hotel with my boyfriend for 2 nights. On a first day we have had creme tea which was tea/coffe and little cookie. We have had very nice and delicious dinner in the same day. Served from 6.30 Pm till 9 pm. Restaurant looked really nice and staff there was very friendly and helpful. :)

Had a lovely evening meal, I had vegetarian option very nice. Great choice of food on menu all looked good and well presented. i would eat here again. I was not as keen on the full english in the morning as it arrived swimming in baked beans, I much prefer to help myself from a buffet for breakfast. Staff as in hotel spot on and very helpful.

Lovely food lovely setting . Attentive staff shame its not heavily advertised as it really is a local find

On my birthday yesterday my husband took me and two friends for afternoon tea. What a gorgeous place, we entered the front door to be met with a warm smile on reception and there was a real fire burning which made it very cosy. We were taken to our table in the stunning dining room by Lee, our very friendly waiter. He brought us a glass of proseco each followed by a delicious selection of sandwiches on lovely fresh bread, divine cakes and pastries and warm scones with ample jam and clotted cream! There was also as much tea or coffee as we could drink! We highly recommend a visit there and we would like to thank Lee for making it so enjoyable, he was brilliant-and couldn't do enough dor us. We'll be back !!!

we went day before due to family commitment therefore did not have the Valentine meal,what we did have was just as nice the mushroom tart although more a vol au vent was light and crispy and very tasty the chicken parfait was flavourful could have done with more bread as rather a lot. Main courses presented nice and served on warm plates we had sea bass and chicken again tasty and subtle flavours which worked well. we also had a nice shiraz too staff attentive and Emma the receptionist was very helpful and friendly. Needs to be open to locals we will go again and hopefully on regular visits despite it being a little pricey as it has competition from good local eateries in surrounding area

Prior to choosing from the menu which had about five main dishes we had the bread and olives with a dip - this was only an extra £2.50 and we had a large bowl of nice olives to go with a bottle of red.

Great setting and within walk of a cracking pub. Breakfast not great - buffet with things ready at different times.

First rate food at a reasonable price (£20 ish for 2 courses £25 for 3). All freshly prepared from quality ingredients, and served in compfortable surroundings

Absolutely brillint meal definitely try the mussels.its a meal for people with big appetites as well I was really full .

Stayed as part of a package deal which included cream tea, 3 course dinner and breakfast. Restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good ambiance. Slightly disappointed by the cream tea as it was a scone with jam and cream and a cup of tea or coffee per person. In my experience when purchasing a cream tea you are usually offered two scones or at least a choice of fruit or plain scone. They did also offer an afternoon tea which appeared to be more substantial. Dinner was from a set menu. Some items had a supplement. The hotel was busy and despite having taken the only available booking at check in we were not seated until 45 minutes later. No menu was offered while we were waiting. We eventually got to order ( no one offered us anything from the wine list) and the food arrived some time later. One older member of staff was quite abrupt ( they were busy but it wasn’t our fault!) but the younger ones were very pleasant. The starters and main courses were well presented and tasty. Disappointingly the choice of dessert had reduced by the time it came to ordering and although what we chose was nice it was really too heavy for the time of night (past 10pm). I would recommend the restaurant for the food but it needs to be managed better when busy.

A great weekend in a superbly positioned hotel. Yes it needs a refurbishment but the overall experience was a pleasure.

Seating and menu does not seem to cater for young children. Drinks are on the top side. Quite difficult to get to.

The original building dates from around 1870 in Victorian gothic/castellated style with an ornate entrance hall and staircase above which there is glazed dome. The dining room is in a contemporary extension with a conservatory roof and views out across the fields at the front.

Having booked a weekend break through Living Social that included a 3 course event meal, we weren't sure what to expect. Everything was delicious. The prawn and crayfish cocktail was enormous and really tasty as was the sea bass which was really well cooked. My creme brule was velvety smooth while my husband's chocolate brownie was really rich and very moorish. On our second night we chose to eat in the bar, where the standard was equally good. My chilli was nicely spiced while my husband's was very pleased with his curry. Breakfast was self-service which was idea and te and coffee were plentiful. A really good choice for a place to stay or, if you're local, and meal with the family. Either way, you won'tbe disappointed.

Since the new owners took over last year, I have been on several occasions to Hollin Hall for various special events as part of a large group and just with hubby.

A party of 9 had dinner there this week.

A good choice of dishes. I am sure ethat everyone could find something to suit them. As part of a dinner, bed and breakfast deal, it was very good value.

Excellent food in lovely surroundings. Beautiful views from the restaurant over the surrounding hills. Staff attentive and knowledgeable. Good variety available. Would highly recommend

We had afternoon tea in the restaurant. Reception area and lounge looks nice and cosy with live fire. Bit disappointed with the table we were sat on. Too close to other table that was also occupied. The food itself was nice and staff polite and attentive. Would recommend.

Afternoon tea for 4. Crammed onto a table for 2. Having to put Cups on top of sugar bowl. Cups having to be removed off table. No spoon/ fork to eat cakes with. 5 cakes between 2 people?? Eh? Who looses out? Teapot filthy! Cracked honey pot. English breakfast tea ordered.. Earl grey bought! Two teapots taken away.. Only one bought back? One hour with not one member of staff returning to ask if everything OK. One hour passes, I have to ask receptionist if we can have our tea. Empty plates not taken so now even less space for the teapots!! A empty room right next to us.. With large tables! All teapots dribbled. Coke / Pepsi was flat. Come on hillon hall pull ya finger out!! Chef did a great job. Staff were useless. Without a Groupon voucher this would have cost £80!!!! I would be requesting a full refund. For some reason I can't upload the pics. See Facebook page, they are there.

The restaurant is extremely relaxing, excellent food, wine and staff. The service was extremely quick, choice was good and a superb atmosphere for myself and my wife.

Food excellent. The fudge brownie was the best I have had (and I have had a few) however they had run out of vanilla ice cream which I was not happy about.

Our experience of Afternoon Tea at Hollin Hall was superb. The Hall is full of character, retaining many of its original features with beautiful furniture and decor. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding with an excellent variety of cakes and sandwiches and as much tea or coffee as we wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for afternoon tea. It was the best afternoon tea we have ever had

My husband and I are currently at Hollin Hall...what a beautiful place! We booked this via wowcher and for what we have paid and what's included you absolutely cannot fault the place. My only criticism is that it is so hot in here, it's like being abroad!! Last night we had a 3 course meal, the steaks melted in your mouth and the staff were really attentive. On hearing it was my husband's birthday they gave us a complimentary glass of wine each. Would recommend this place to anyone.

The food in the restaurant was excellent with plenty of choice and the setting within the hotel was the best part of the hotel

We ate here as a couple in February. We both had a 3 course meal as part of a groupon deal which also included a one nights stay (wouldn't stay again) and a glass of prosecco each (which we didn't receive) Our meals were very good, I really enjoyed my starter of potato and leek soup and also the dessert of sticky toffee pudding was very good too. The menu for paying customers and anyone with a voucher was the same which we thought was very good. The waiting staff were all very attentive and friendly. The reason I haven't given 5 stars is due to the fact that the restaurant was ice cold which was a recurring theme for the entire hotel. There were portable heaters plugged in all over the place but that didn't improve the situation at all. If we were ever in the area again we would definitely return for a meal but only in the Summer! We also had breakfast in the restaurant which was also very good and had a very wide selection, hot items, pastries, toast and a variety of cereals.

We booked a table for 6 person, We were shown to our table. we all looked at each other, a bit worried as we were the only ones in the restaurant for a 1pm reservation. We were greet by the waitress. Very friendly. Took our drinks order and left the menus. Came back took out order and was very helpful. 5 roast beef and 1 roast pork. Food arrived. It was presented very well and the tasted fabulous. The worry had now gone completely. To cut a long story short we as a family would have no worries in recommending the Hollin Hall to anyone family, friends and anyone reading this review. We went away very happy and we will be back again.

We had a voucher so our food was included in the hotel stay. However the price for paying customers was advertised and our three course meal would have been £30 each, including a £4 supplement for steak which is very reasonable. Starters were lovely (feta salad, mussles). Two steaks for main course, both perfectly cooked, blue and rare, sauces to go with the steaks were AMAZING, one blue cheese and one peppercorn. Lovely cuts of meat too, I am very picky about my steak and always worry its a risk ordering in a new place! Then for dessert we had one sticky toffee pudding - wow! and one chocolate brownie. The wine list is good and my wine, the Compass Point Shiraz was beautiful (Ive even looked into buying a case now I'm home!).The dining room is beautiful, nice quiet background music and lovely attentive staff.So good we ate here the second night too as full paying guests.Would recommend to everyone! And wish I lived closer to pop in more often!

a all round good experence the food service and wine were spot on and the price was not extortionate we will eat there again

I was very pleased to see Hollin Hall had new owners last year. The Hotel is in a smashing location and has always punched below its weight. We decided to organise two dinners for larger parties there, one in December (ca. 35) and one in January (ca. 25). Whilst I've lived in Bollington for some time and used the hotel previously, I was unaware of the two upstairs private room for dining. We had the one upstairs on the left on both occasions. Arrangements were easy to make and turned out great for both events. Food was absolutely lovely and really good value. Service was very attentive and friendly. Very happy indeed to recommend to others. Bollington needs Hollin Hall to be successful. Good Luck !

Excellent food, my husband has a special diet, and the waiter and chef where fantastic for his needs.

The afternoon teas was excellent with a good assortment of cakes scones, clotted cream ( a must have in my view) and a good selection of finger sandwiches. The one negative was the stupid little teapots with a tiny spout, impossible to pour without spilling the tea. Please get proper sized teapots with a long spout, then it would be perfect.

a cold night but greeted by a real roaring fire and helpful staff ushered into the bar for a drink before dinner. then to our table the whole place was warm bright with a helpful waiter. the meal was excellent both the starter and main. then coffee in the lounge afterward by another roaring fire. a really great night apart from the wind and rain outside we rebooked for a later date

Visited for a family lunch last week, greeted with a warm fire as we walked in and friendly staff. We opted for a drink in the bar and we're shown through, we were then seated in the beautiful, light restaurant, (with the comfiest restaurant chairs I have ever sat on!! I'd like to know where to buy some) The family ordered all beef, I chose the veggie option because risotto is my favourite and I was certainly not disappointed. Plus I still got to pinch some pigs in blankets and beef and veggies. It was served in sharing plates and felt like I was sat at home with people fighting over the last pig! With the tiniest bit of room left for desert we chose the trifle, sweet and fruity we did our best but we were full to the brim. Coffee and tea to finish and it was off home to rest our bellies. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and will definitely be worth revisiting again and again.

we had the new sunday lunch menu today,we were welcomed with a lovely roaring fire and a beautiful interior with happy friendly staff. We had drinks by the fire, before being taken to the restaurant, the food was excellent , well presented, good portions and piping hot , we will defiantly be coming thanks for a lovely afternoon

Had a lovely stay staff lovely great open fire places and will definetly be back in the near future.

Overall nice place to stay, has got potential, i heard the new owners have done a lot of work to it but are still doing it up. Love the staircase and open fires.

My husband booked 2 nights away in between Christmas and New Year, on arrival impressions were good and receptionist was pleasant. Had 3 course dinner in the restaurant which was good. Breakfast was good and ample choice. Rooms looked clean on first impression but attention to detail needs work in both the restaurant and the rooms. The restaurant was cold and heaters could be seen being used.
