Minh was a great host, helpful with everything and interested. His place is wonderfully peaceful with beautiful countryside and two pubs just across the road serving both good lunch and dinner. There is even a cafe a little walk down the road open 10:30 - 14:30. I came by train to Strines from Manchester and his house is within walking distance of the station. Just two miles away in Marple there are even more places to eat and drink of different cuisines. The Midland pub down by the bridge and river Goyt had a restaurant that served really good food. It was the perfect place to stay for five nights.
