We really liked Andrew's place when we stayed for the weekend. It is a lovely period property and is clean and very comfortable. It is spacious inside and done tastefully. It has the bonus a small outside area (although we didn't use it because it was snowing). It was rather cold when we arrived as it was freezing cold weather but we were relieved that heated up well.
The house is in a smart area of Manchester. Metro link only about 10 minutes walk. Altrincham itself has lots to offer with many good places to eat .
Andrew is a very friendly and attentive host who helped us feel completely at home. We appreciated the bread, milk and biscuits to get us started.
