4- and 5-star hotels in Knutsford
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Knutsford, from a spa resort on Chester Road to farm cottages and guest houses in the surrounding villages. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a Cheshire stay with a known standard of room.
Staying in Knutsford
Knutsford is a Cheshire town that visitors use as a base for the surrounding countryside and for events in the area. The stays on this list sit in and around it: on Chester Road, Warrington Road and Manchester Road, in the villages of Mobberley, Plumley and Allostock, and on streets close to the middle such as King St and Gaskell Avenue. That spread means you can be beside a golf course and a spa, in a village guest house, or in a town-centre building within a short drive of the rest.
Couples tend to take the spa and golf resorts, where indoor pools, saunas and restaurants are on site. Families fit the guest houses and cottages with family rooms, gardens and playgrounds, and self-catering kitchens. Business travellers are served by meeting rooms, 24-hour front desks and free wifi. A short break suits the smaller places, where parking is free and the centre is close.
The Hinton Guest House and Grimsditch Dairy lie in Mobberley, The Golden Pheasant in Plumley, and The Cottage in Allostock. The Courthouse and The Glory Of My Father Gîte are named on Knutsford streets.
