Interesting property. Stayed there for 2 nights and it is quite unique. The rooms have Super high ceilings, doors that are 4 inches thick and comfortable beds. This is a historic property and appears on the list of Manchester’s most haunted. It really does have that spooky vibe but it is not unpleasant and is frankly very impressive and interesting to stay here. Avoid the basement rooms. Great to explore. Fabulous breakfast. The haunted staircase is sensational.
