Nicely situated in the very heart of the lively genuine docks district, we were really pleased to be sleeping in the once lock-keeper’s cottage. This is the kind of home you usually only see on your holidays pictures !
It should be noticed that the proximity of the pubs (under your windows across the lock) can be accountable for noisy nights, but being so central is enjoyable anyway.
The Metrolink tram and suburban trains are a nice less than 10’ walk from the house, so you can be downtown in 20 minutes and don’t hesitate to travel from and to the airport with Metrolink (expect a good but smooth and sure 40-45 minutes ride for 5£/p).
We didn’t meet our host, but everything was made for easy checking in and out.
Going back in Manchester we would certainly think about hiring the cottage again.
