The historic Cranage Hall is a glorious grade II listed building set in the Cheshire countryside just to the south of Manchester. The hotel is to be found amid 20 acres of lovely landscaped grounds and, while it has undergone some recent transformations, they have certainly been carried out in keeping with the historical architecture displayed.
The main building was actually mentioned in the Domesday Survey as far back as 1086, adding further prestige to this impressive venue. Indeed, the ivy-clad structure is pleasing to the eye and, when joined with the more modern buildings, proves a suitable place for up-to-date meeting and accommodation in its traditional and historic setting.
Despite Cranage Hall’s position in the countryside it is still just five minutes from the M6 motorway, part-way between Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent. In addition, the nearest railway stations are at Crewe and Macclesfield which are around 20 minutes away by car, while ManchesterInternational Airport is also an approximate 20 minute journey. The hotel provides guests with a good base from which to explore the surrounding area where they will find the likes of Chester Zoo, Alton Towers, Jodrell Bank, Old Trafford and the City of Manchester Stadium.
Cranage Hall isn’t the only Principal Hayley hotel in Manchester; there is also the Palace Hotel, while just over the Pennines in Yorkshire there are the Met, Leeds and the Kenwood Hall in Sheffield. This group of hotels often provides ideal locations in which to hold meeting and events, and the Cranage Hall is no different, with its proximity to major transport networks helping it become particularly conducive to holding such activities.
Cranage Hall has 28 meeting facilities in total, the largest of which is able to host 300 people. Of this large number, some are based in the old building of the hotel and some are in the more modern areas. The outdoor spaces provide the ideal place to hold team building activities meanwhile.
To help your relaxation there is a swimming pool, a spa bath, a sauna and treatment rooms for various beauty treatments. There are also things to do for those looking to heighten the heart rate such as a gym, an outdoor tennis court and an aerobics studio.
After a hectic day of meetings or a long journey the hotel’s bedrooms are ideal for some comfort and luxury. There are 150 altogether, each of which is well-equipped and modern in its design thanks in part to recent refurbishments.
