The rooms were stunning, and the disabled access room was fantastic. I was so so impressed at the high standard and quality of the room, it was far better than what I was hoping for and what I was expecting for the price, and the rooms were SO soundproof! We stayed the night ahead of a flight from Manchester, and it was only a 10 minute drive to the airport car park.

I cant speak for the breakfast, and I don't know how closely they are managed, but the food at the pub/restaurant onsite really let it down and is the only reason I wouldn't look to book here again. The staff were lovely in dealing with our issues, but it's very sad that out of 4 meals, 3 were very poor, and we had to chase up a side dish that hadn't arrived within 5-10 minutes of the rest of the meal arriving.

We stayed two nights, August 27 and 28. Our rooms were very quiet and comfortable and we appreciated the fact that the staff had done as we requested and given us rooms side by side and in a discreet part of the building. I'd like to commend the kitchen staff, especially the chef, for the excellent breakfasts with special mention for the Eggs Benedict and the Scrambled Eggs. Staff at all times provided polite and prompt assistance with special mention for the provision of an icepack to ease my son's back pain after a long drive. I'd have no hesitation recommending this pub to others.

No negatives.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean . Well equipped, we had the disabled room. Only downside was faulty tv volume kept cutting out. Toliet roll holder was sharp and needed changing. Other than that it was a great location and stay for the airport. Pub excellent food marvelous.

Room one slight defects , tv faulty and toliet roll holder damaged and dangerous for a disable person to sit on the toliet.

Large well appointed room, with very comfortable bed and large well appointed shower/WC. we were on the ground floor , where additional towels, and a fridge with flasks of fresh milk were available for guests to take if required.

for some reason the TV only supplied 4 or 5 kids and obscure channels, which we discoverd when we wanted to watch the News. Having said that, I am sure that had we pointed this out to the staff, it would habe been rectified.

Very conveniently located accommodation for access to Manchester Airport, but with a bit more character than the usual airport hotels. The fairly modern bedroom block has smart, good sized rooms and convenient parking right outside. The pub itself is next door and has a very nice garden area with outdoor dining. We had dinner in the pub, which has a fairly extensive menu, but unfortunately a couple of the more interesting options were not availble on the evening of our stay. The breakfast was superb, with all the standard Full English options, plus croissants etc. and we had scrambled eggs with sour dough toast and smoked salmon, which came in very generous portions and was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The missing items from the dinner menu were a bit of a disappointment.

It's our kind of place - we just love it. We stay here to travel to Old Trafford for cricket & proximity to Manchester airport. It's comfortable, welcoming with a great local atmosphere, a huge beer garden & it's a Robinsons house. We used to live in Wythenshawe which isn't far from Hale Barns, plus I kept a horse in Hale years ago, so we know the area well. Hale Barns has not changed too much over the years &, although we live in North Wales, we still have yearnings for the Cheshire countryside!

I don't like making negative comments. However, there was nowhere to hang coats despite there being space on the wall opposite the bathroom. Also, particularly as the bathroom contained an overbath shower, a handrail is an absolute essential & should be addressed as soon as possible.

We prefer to avoid airport hotels and opted for the Bulls Head for its friendly size, positive reviews and convenient location just a few minutes' drive from Terminal 1. Overall we were very happy with our choice - and enjoyed a relaxed evening meal in the on-site restaurant. There was no noise problem despite the proximity of the airport. Breakfast was brought to our room right on time. We would certainly stay again if flying from Manchester.

Our only slightly negative comment would be that the 'twin-bedded' arrangement we had requested involved two seemingly exceptionally narrow beds that at least one of us felt required a safety belt!

The rooms have everything you would need, which means you have to bring less stuff with you. The food in the restaurant is amazing- could not fault the food we ordered. We had an early flight and would miss the cooked breakfast which is included. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the offer of a continental breakfast before our departure.

We booked a table in the restaurant in advance. All seemed ok when we went in but we seemed to get missed or there was some confusion as the staff seemed to think we were there for drinks. We did get food in the end and it was excellent. The pastries offer in the continental breakfast were edible just.

First time staying here and won’t be my last. Absolutely fantastic place and the breakfast… oh my days absolutely spot on a great selection. The rooms are comfortable and very clean and the facilities are what you just need for a stay. Highly recommended. They even accommodate for your pooches and have dogs beds and bowls behind the counter

Lovely place, rooms a good size, and very clean, friendly and very helpful staff. The TV had a lot more channels than we expected, the breakfast was excellent and we had more than we could eat.

We had a connecting door in our room to the next room. The doors seem to be quite thin, we could hear the person next door snoring through the night, and people walking down the hallway talking through the night, both of which disrupted our sleep, and my husband isn't a light sleeper. No plugs near the bed so mobiles have to be charged across the room.
