Mottram Hall

Our facilities council meeting was being held in UK this year, so we needed a location close to site that could accommodate our team. Mottram Hall offered that along with some team building experiences. Unfortunately, it is a bit out of the way.
The rooms seem to vary depending on which portion of the building you end up. My room was decent — king bed, reasonably sized bathroom, although only a view of the parking lot. The bed was comfortable but the room was hot.
The food at the restaurant was ok. Breakfast was included (along with WiFi) and probably the best part of the stay. I managed to try a good selection of the dinner menu but wouldn’t rave about anything. The bar area is unique and a good place to relax and talk.
Our team building was archery. The instructors were awesome and everyone had a great time. I even managed to get a good photo of myself impersonating Robin Hood!
Cliff notes: Nice place to stay, but a bit out of the way. A solid location for a corporate outing. Hopefully you won’t be eating dinner there multiple nights in a row…

Sehr schönes Hotel in einer der reichsten Gegenden von Manchester. Das Anwesen liegt inmitten eines Golfclubs und ist mit einem wunderschönen Spa Bereich ausgestattet. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie verstehen es einem den Aufenthalt angenehm zu machen! Das alles kombiniert mit einem sehr guten Essen und einer guten Internetverbindung macht das Hotel zu einem angenehmen Ort für Business und Genuss. Ich würde sicher gerne wiederkommen!

Sleep: The bed was comfortable and had a large number of soft down pillows. The curtains were proper blackout floor to ceiling curtains. Quiet!!!
Bathroom: Plenty of hot water, adjustable shower head height to accommodate any height person. Bathtub is somewhat comfortable but the tile wall is too upright for a relaxing head position.
Room: Just a bed, small desk, and chair. It did have an iron, hair dryer, cappuccino machine and a hot water kettle, with coffee, tea and cocoa.
Breakfast: included! Proper hot English breakfast, cereals and juices as well.
Location: beautiful quiet grounds, very close to a number of dinner options and a 15 min drive to Manchester airport.

Came here at the weekend. Expected something much better from a De Vere. Yes the grounds are beautiful and the communal areas of the hotel are well kept but the rooms are holiday inn standard. They’re tired, poorly lit, tatty and tiny. They don’t have a mini bar or even a safe. The loo– roll is of the lowest common denominator. It’s just horrible. As to breakfast, it’s the usual buffet and it’s not that bad, but the staff mill around uselessly. There was a large queue one morning, with one person both ticking guests off a list and seating them. It was painfully slow and very badly organised. They’re so cheap at this hotel that you’re charged an extra £2.50 if you pay for anything with a credit card. On a positive note (and the reason for the 2 stars) is the large and well equipped gym. As no one turned up for the class at 9 am on Saturday (yes they actually have classes), I ended up having a personal training session with the very brilliant Paul. However, even with that, I couldn’t recommend this place. Don’t be fooled by the shiny and impressive exterior; this place will treat you no better than would a Travelodge, but will charge you a lot more.

Stayed here a couple of times and have been very happy with it. It’s a De Vere so it’s pricy but you can get deals.

For those of us in the high disposable income bracket Mottram Hall presents a great destination option for a relaxing break from the city rat race. Mottram hall really is a magnificent venue. Devere have properties all over the UK each with their own identity. With Mottram as soon as you walk in, regardless of whether you recognise the Georgian architecture or not a grand feeling will wash over you. You will be sucked in and helplessly emerse yourself in the melodramatic décor, from the oil paintings on the wall to the carpets which reminded me of the shining.
Must admit, the paintings on the walls were slightly haunting, but then again we all know of my love for the horror genre. One particular painting I know for a fact upon my second glance piercing eyes in the painting followed me as I passed. I would probably need the hotel to be noisy and full if I ever stayed here, just to feel safe from any … er… ghosts!!! All speculations of Mottram hall being haunted aside the place has alot to offer.
The restaurant serves great food and the service is also good with friendly and approachable staff. Nathaniel’s restaurant an AA Rosette Award winning restaurant’s great for fine dining. The focus is on classic English meals but I hear they are changing the concept slightly, introducing a buffet style arrangement with a wide variety of things on offer.
The grounds surrounding the Hall are vast with an array of activities available such as a 7000 yard championship golf course and clay pigeon shooting. There is also a spa and leisure club where you can work out or enjoy a range of treatments. It also seems an ideal wedding venue.
So perhaps this is one Unilocal for the future. Some years down the line when the waist line and bank balance are both slighter bigger, and your post code starts with SK10… Even before then for a very very special occasion or to treat someone take them to Mottram hall.
Beware though ask for directions because I got hopelessly lost despite having a sat nav: DD I would happily book a couple of nights here go enjoy the day activities on offer and do a horror movie marathon at night any one fancy it ??? Come on Unilocalers… wanna play a game!!! :D

A very classy establishment. I stayed here for a conference two-​and-​a-​half years ago and enjoyed every moment.
The grounds were superb, with excellent facilities (including a helipad!). There was a significant tennis tournament taking place whilst we were there, featuring several well-​known names from years ago — some sort of Seniors event, we supposed. The food was excellent and the rooms very comfortable.
I’ve no idea how much it cost, I’m afraid, as I didn’t pay for the conference directly myself — but I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had cost a pretty penny or two.
Overall, a superb venue.

Possibly the worst experience I’ve ever had. The staff seemed to have no control of the guests, and were incapable of speaking directly to those guests who were suffering at the hands of riotous wedding party revellers. On the plus side, a beautiful quiet location if the guests behave, and a lovely setting for a golf course. The breakfast was lovely.
