Description:
Since Etrop Grange was built in 1780, the world around it has changed completely. As William Moss, dressed in powder wig and stockings, stood and admired his fine gardens, could he ever have imagined how dramatic those changes would be. More than 200 years on, Etrop Grange has not only survived, it has been lovingly restored to its former glory, and despite the onslaught of progress William's home has retained all its elegance and timeless grace. In fact Etrop Grange has become unique. It has been transformed from a private home to an elegant hotel within sight of Manchester Airport's Terminal 2, a three minute drive by complimentary chauffeured Daimler. The luxury, character and sheer elegance of the Georgian era is reflected in every detail, and the standard of decoration, antique furnishings and quality of fittings is evident throughout. The hotel is also a favorite destination for fine dining. The award winning (Two AA Rosettes) Coach House Restaurant offers a well balanced mix of traditional and modern English cuisine and an extensive selection of fine wines. Light meals are also served in the conservatory, and guests can relax in the cocktail lounge. AA "3 Star".
