Hollin House Hotel

There may not be a gym at the Hollin House Hotel but don’t forget your Fitbit! Outdoorsy types find plenty of ways to burn off the calories from their cream tea.

Perfect for cyclists, the hotel is bike-friendly, with storage and cleaning facilities along with some of the finest rides in the North-West to try on its doorstep. You’re just a short distance from the famous Brickworks climb featured in the Tour of Britain, while superb mountain biking can be enjoyed in nearby Edale & Castleton. 

Prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground? Head out on a hike. On the edge of the Peak District, this is a walker’s paradise with plenty of scenic routes to be explored. Pick up a map from reception and choose one of three circular walks that start right from the hotel’s front door, from easy trails to something a bit more challenging.

Perfect escapes should always include bountiful breakfasts, lingering lunches and decadent dining. And at the Hollin House Hotel, the food is every bit as delicious as all the pampering you’ll be doing in your own private hot tub oasis in the Garden Party Suite.

Elegantly decorated in a heritage teal blue with plush, velvet seating, in the restaurant you’ll find simple dishes cooked with passion and flair, and all with the grand Hollin House as your backdrop. 

But it’s not just the delicious main meals on offer. There are full English breakfasts, afternoon teas, while the traditional Sunday roast is an extravagant, not-to-be-missed affair.

Because of the hotel’s listed building status, access is limited, but ramps are used wherever possible. 

You’ll find this Gothic-style Victorian mansion in Cheshire, on the outskirts of the village of Bollington just four miles from Macclesfield. Overlooking gardens and fields, it borders the Peak District National Park, so you can shop in a bustling market town in the morning, and go on long, countryside hikes in the afternoon.

The Hollin House Hotel is part of the Amaze group of hotels. Its sister hotels are The Waterton Park Hotel, The Millstone Country Inn, The Chevin Country Park, The Ruthin Castle and Shrigley Hall. 

Looking for the paw-fect dog-friendly escape? Waggy tails are welcome at Hollin House Hotel and, with so much countryside to sniff around, they’ll have a great time while they’re here. Well-behaved boys and girls can check-in to a comfortable Standard room that’s easy to get in and out of should nature call. Good boys (or girls) can join you in the bar, but they can’t set a paw in Casa Restaurant.

Yes it is. You’ll find family rooms and children’s menus and plenty of adventures nearby. The hotel is less than an hour away from Alton Towers, and right on the border of the natural beauty of the Peak District National Park. Here they can cycle, walk, or horse-ride through the wide open spaces, head underground amongst the caves or try a spot of rock climbing.

No, but there is a Championship golf course just under three miles away at Hollin House’s sister hotel, Shrigley Hall. Set in 262 acres of magnificent woodland and open parkland, the course here is a real test of skill and stamina, whatever your handicap. Facilities include a fun footgolf course, a practice area and putting green, a halfway house and buggy hire.
