Etrop Grange is a charming,
old country manor located right beside Manchester Airport, and it offers a refreshing alternative to cookie-cutter chain
hotels. This upscale property has 64 classically decorated rooms spread over interconnected red brick buildings. Refurbishment is ongoing, and rooms which have not yet been renovated are dated and show signs of
wear and tear. This elegant property appeals to travelers catching early morning flights, and it's also a popular venue for weddings, which can result in noise and crowding in the bar and
restaurant. Overall, it's a good value compared to other airport hotels in the
vicinity, but it lacks extras like fitness and spa facilities that the other
chain hotels offer.

Scene
Old-World charm in a country setting
Etrop Grange is a listed heritage building
dating back to 1780 which has kept its original Georgian charm and is located in a quiet, country setting. The hotel is decorated
in a traditional style, with wood paneling, chandeliers, and marble fireplaces
in public spaces, comfy sofas in the lobby area, and navy-and-gold-patterned carpeting throughout. This isn't a new property, but it is cozy, and on nice days the windows and doors are opened allowing fresh air to circulate through the rooms and common spaces, emphasizing that restful country setting. The atmosphere here is one of a relaxed rural home, and there are antiques scattered around the hotel and bedrooms. The lobby, bar, and
restaurant have been tastefully renovated during the past year, but some guest rooms have yet to be
refurbished. Etrop Grange is popular with couples and business travelers coming from Manchester Airport, as
well as wedding parties because of its attractive Old-World setting.
Location
Located walking distance to Manchester International Airport
Etrop
Grange is located on a country road next to Manchester International Airport,
just a four-minute walk away. The center of Manchester is 30 minutes away by
train, and buses to the city center stop just outside the hotel. The hotel is
ideal for travelers who have to catch early-morning flights, as there's very little else nearby. Painswick Park, which has a children's play area, sports fields, and a fishing pond, is one of the few attractions in walking distance, just two minutes away on foot.
Rooms
Tastefully decorated rooms, but some in need of renovation
The rooms at Etrop Grange
are decorated in a classic, country-home style which complements the
traditional look of this heritage building. Standard decor includes cream-colored patterned wallpaper, drab striped carpeting, heavy floral drapes, and dark wood furniture. The renovated rooms are
comfortable and tastefully decorated in heather gray and white, some with four-poster beds, and have modern,
luxurious bathrooms. However, the rooms which have not yet been refurbished
have dated and worn furniture and show signs of wear and tear. All rooms have
air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, irons and ironing boards, and hairdryers. Standard bathrooms have shower/tub combos and basic toiletries.

Private dining space, free airport shuttle and parking, and business facilities
