Room spacious Tea, Coffee and biscuit facilities provided Hairdryer, bonus of an iron and board in the room We ordered breakfast and it was hot and delicious. The staff were all very friendly

Upon arrival there was a large wedding reception taking place so all car parking spaces were taken. Two spaces were taken by a motorcycle in each space. Perhaps they should have left reserved spaces for residents, as I noticed they had put wooden signs on spaces for the immediate wedding party. Allocate a separate area for motorcycles. Luckily after a little while a guest left the party so I could then park in their spot. I know if there hadn’t been a wedding, parking wouldn’t have been an issue.

Very nice and helpful staff. Good restaurant. Good breakfast Good furniture in bedroom. A couple of hiccups on arrival but quickly addressed by staff

Television control required fresh batteries. This was quickly resolved so no complaints. The shower unfortunately did not work normally. Been in many hotels and never experienced a shower like it. Water came out of taps and soaring out of showerhead at same time, parts missing on central control and plug allowed water in bath to dissappear at an extremely slow pace. Staff were prompt in attending and they struggled to turn it off. Eventually succeeding. The chambermaids should have known about this and obviously didn't report a temperamental shower. This should be addressed. It is a shame because the rest of the experience was first class.

What a fantastic wee place! We were travelling back from Alton Towers and needed somewhere handy to stay. Room was plenty spacious, clean and great value. We hadn't booked in for dinner as we planned stopping on the way. When I asked if dinner would be possible we were told no problem at all and were booked in very quickly. The dinner was one of the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommend the pork medallions and dauphinoise potatoes! My boy loved the brisket macaroni as well. After a fantastic breakfast we headed home and have talked about staying again if we are ever passing. Highly recommend a stay here!

The room and bathroom were both exceptionally clean. The beds were really comfortable, tea & coffee making facilities, and complimentary toiletries available. We didn't have breakfast but we did eat one night in the restaurant. The food was lovely, service was great and reasonably priced. Very busy, so you do need to book to avoid disappointment. Lovely little beer garden to enjoy a chilled glass of something in the sun. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The pub is in a great location with plenty of onsite free parking. There was a wedding on one of the nights we stayed but it didn't affect our stay and we hardly heard any noise from the entertainment.

If there was one negative and it is only one. The sound proofing for the room above wasn't great. I expect to hear some movement and even muffled voices if people are loud but we could hear everything!! It didn't spoil our stay at all but it was a little uncomfortable at times.

Ale was very good at the bar, choice of 4. Room was comfortable, ground floor, clean, tidy and had everything needed for a one night stay. Warm, comfortable etc. 3 Faults with the room which previous lazy occupants hadnt bothered to report which the owners would not be aware of. Reported to reception male staff when Ieft the next morning. (1) plug in hand basin wasnt functioning so water continually escaped when plug was in. (2) bedside light flickering constantly when on. (3) toilet seat lid mechanism broken so that lid falls on occupants back when sitting on the toilet.

Evening dining service staff need to be more observant. I was escorted through to the dining area by one member of staff and given a menu to choose from. I chose and waited for someone to take my order. I waited 28 minutes. The waitress said because I was reading a large landscape newspaper at my table, she didn't realise I was waiting to order or wanted to eat. I cannot comprehend why an open newspaper would prevent a food order being taken ? It isn't bad manners to read a newspaper when dining alone. This all took place at 7pm on a Monday evening when it was not overly busy.

The property was conveniently located to where I needed to go for an interview, hence the reason I booked this place and it was recommended to me. The room and bathroom were extremely clean, it felt cosy and the bed was comfortable. The restaurants food was simply divine. The only let down during my stay was the fact that they had no heating or hot water due to running out of oil in the oil tank that they rely on. Yes I was provided with a fan heater however a hot shower/bath would have been nice to have in the morning before checking out ready to attend an interview. A simple gesture of good will, such as offering something small for breakfast would have gone a long way.

Nothing wrong with the property at all.

The staff were the nicest, friendliest and most helpful we have ever come across. Their training shone through, their empathy and pleasant nature's were fantastic. The food was fabulous as was the service and efficiency, even though they had a wedding to cater for. Breakfast is superb, we couldn't fault the food or the standard of the produce. The rooms were clean, warm and well presented with everything you could need. Well done to you all and thank you for a lovely stay! Joy & Colin

Nothing to comment on.

A really lovely pub with spacious, clean and comfortable rooms, and in a pretty location. I had not expected there to be a wedding on a Thursday evening and I was concerned about noise late at night, but to be fair, we slept well and didn't notice anything. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The breakfast was mostly nice but the bacon was very fatty and not cooked out, and scrambled egg was frankly grey and tasteless. Everything else was great though and the service was very good.

Dinner was superb in the restaurant and breakfast was equally superb. All the staff here are young and enthusiastic very well trained and well-behaved. The management are equally efficient and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending that you stay here if you are in the Congleton/Macclesfield area. The plain is steeped in history and the management are always willing to explain the origin of the building et cetera. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm in that area so I can stay at the plough and enjoy superb food and service.

There was nothing to not like about the plough, if anything it's probably not too far away from refurbishing some of the rooms but they are very comfortable and cosy.

Plough Inn, an attractive and 'comfortable' old inn in a peaceful countryside area (just what an English country pub should be like) was easy to find with plenty of parking. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Rates reasonable as were dining prices. Food excellent, waiting staff attentive and drinks, especially local beers, nicely priced. Would recommend anytime!

A small gripe but in the room we were in the wall adjoining the next room seemed to too easily transmit noise from next-door, especially door banging. Didn't spoil our visit at all and I had to think hard here about any downside.
