Frommer's "This is what the British call a "gastro-pub" with rooms, meaning it offers an excellent cuisine in its restaurant and a guest room above, should you tie on a bender -- or even if you don't." Full review
Fodor's "At the southern end of the city center opposite the Museum of Science and Industry, this friendly and relaxed gastro-pub comes with guestrooms that are simple, creamy cool and modern." Full review
Lonely Planet "Not quite your traditional B&B (breakfast is extra), but an excellent choice... it's the best deal in town for the location."
Time Out "It's well known locally that this award-winning gastropub (see Ox gastropub review) is the place for Coronation Street star-watching." Full review
