What Our Clients Say

"The best night stay over I've experienced in a while, so so relaxing. Everything about it was spot on. Food gorgeous, beautiful lol location, staff lovely and a great night's sleep with lovely views."
Mark
"The Strawbury Duck is a real gem - set in the moors and yet well connected thanks to the railway station right next door. Two trains an hour take passengers up or down the line into busy Manchester or sleepy towns. A car is not needed as you can walk out to the lovely countryside or jump on a train. Our room was cosy with a comfortable bed and a lovely bath. The staff were welcoming and professional- and the food was delicious."
