Stockport is very central to a large area. We were able to do day trips to Wales, the Lake District and the beautiful Peak parks. The house itself is in a great location, very quiet area, extremely well equipped, very clean and tidy with very comfortable beds. The host lives upstairs but leaves you to get on with it and we can recommend this stay unequivocally. Note that parking is easy, reliably available and safe but might be a little remote in heavy rain although from our experience it never rains in Manchester...
