1. Stott Park Bobbin Mill

Reviewed By markaF791UT
An outstandingly well preserved mill where wooden bobbins were made for the UK weaving industry of the 19th and 20th centuries. Almost exactly as it was left when the mill closed, a guide takes you on a tour of the mill and demonstrates how bobbins were made in the millions. The tour includes working lathes and the truly spectacular original working steam engine that powered the mill. There is also a little shop where you can buy genuine antique bobbins.

As a Tex-Mexan myself, this food is absolutely delicious. The venue is gorgeous and has thoughtful, tasteful decoration. The staff are amazing, such terrific service. We were a large party and everything was fabulous. Portion sizes are large (come hungry). Really enjoyed eating here.

We went to the movies and saw Yesterday. This is our second time at this theater. We were here 10 years ago. Great movie house. Nothing changes - the same today as probably 80 years ago! Lovely place to catch a first run movie! Very friendly staff!

Zoe and Andrew are excellent hosts. Even before we arrived I was emailing Zoe with one question or another and she answered immediately and was very helpful. There were 5 of us for the gin distillery tour and afternoon tea. Andrew was very informative explaining how they started the company and how the gin is made. As many ingredients as possible are sourced locally. The gins we had were really good, my favourite being the fancy frolic. Then came afternoon tea. Oh my, Zoe had pulled out all the stops. The presentation was stunning, sandwiches tasty and all the cakes were home made. She even made a birthday cake for my friends birthday and provided candles. We had a lovely few hours there and I would highly recommend it. Thanks to you both and I really hope your business flourishes. Please note everyone, they also give money to various charities.

We were lucky enough to have a bauble blowing experience given to us as a wedding present. Claire guided us both through the whole experience with patience and care and explained the whole process reassuring us with her expertise. We picked the baubles up a few days after and are thrilled with them. A lovely momento of a brilliant experience combined with a wedding present. A visit to the shop is also highly recommended, a beautiful selection of crystal.

My mother and I ate here today during the Dickensian Christmas market and we came across this pub and by luck we managed to get a seat as it was very busy, the staff were all on the ball and inventive, a young lad quickly cleared our table of previous occupant plates and glasses and bearly had to wait 10 minutes for our food to come out shortly after ordering it, we both had this Cajun chicken with rice, chips and a salad, chicken was moist, tender and the sauce was to die for I would 100% recommend this place If your in the area

Reviewed By lornaj238 - Macclesfield, United Kingdom
A wonderful look into the past, and the history of Quakers. The house is a wonderful example of a 17 century landowners house, (with reconstructions in places) evoking the spirit of the time. The cafe is lovely, small with limited menu, but all interesting with great flavours, mainly vegetarian and vegan options too.
