As a family who has run a number of Air B and B's in Norfolk for a number of years' I like to support other entrepreneurs when I travel...Hotels are getting so expensive and as a pensioner I like to get value for money and this indeed what The Lodge offers. Set in its own private grounds with off road parking, this wooden lodge is surprisingly spacious and well equipped...yes it might be slightly quirky but nonetheless delivers in all aspects...the lounge/kitchen area is well equipped and the main bedroom actually works very well...I like to sleep with the window open and was able to do so without the kind of noise that you get when staying in an urban area...the bed was extremely comfy...and throughout the Lodge was very clean...I certainly would recommend it to other travellers who are looking for reasonably priced accommodation in the Manchester area, within easy reach of the city centre and motorway network.
