For us, Frank's house in Whalley Range was the perfect spot to bed down for the night. Spacious, unfussy rooms in a giant house. This is affordable and quirky (we loved the wallpaper in the hall!). Towels were really soft. Just a short taxi or bus ride to Manchester city centre. And Chorlton's Beech Road is just down the road with it's brunch cafes. Frank and his daughter Fran were warm and really easy to deal with. I wish them well.
