Weekend Away - De Vere Cranage Estate
Michael Gates enjoyed a rural retreat at De Vere Cranage Estate, tucked away in a peaceful corner of Cheshire
About
Set in 20 acres of the Cheshire countryside, De Vere Cranage Estate is an elegant Grade II listed hotel in Holmes Chapel. Designed by celebrated British architect Lewis Wyatt and formerly the country seat of the Armitstead family, the De Vere Cranage Estate is still very much a rural retreat today.
Steeped in almost 200 years of history and Elizabethan heritage, the hotel has been renovated for the 21st century, creating an eclectic mix of old and new. In addition to meeting, event and conference spaces there are 150 rooms on offer, including the recently refurbished Deluxe Rooms, which have been thoughtfully furnished and elegantly styled.
Facilities
De Vere Cranage Estate offers a wide range of fitness facilities, with an air-conditioned fully equipped gym offering a range of cardiovascular and weight machines, as well as a heated swimming pool, steam room and spa pool. There’s also a tennis court and a program of fitness classes led by fully qualified instructors.
The Tempus Restaurant and Bar serves a contemporary British menu with delicious seasonal food. At the bar, you can choose from a selection of craft beers and cocktails, alongside a menu of light meals including gourmet burgers and handcrafted pizzas. Be sure to sample Bach 95, a locally developed refreshing crisp beer that is vegan friendly, gluten free and low calorie. Outside the restaurant, you will find the fully heated Tipi and outdoor kitchen, an all-new drinking and dining experience overlooking the hotel lawns.
Personal Note
My partner and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend stay at the De Vere Cranage Estate. After a warm welcome at check-in, we settled into our spacious Deluxe Room before exploring the stunning grounds. We unwound in the pool and spa in late afternoon before dining in the Tempus Restaurant and Bar. After a blissful night’s sleep, we enjoyed a tasty and plentiful breakfast. The service and staff at the hotel were exceptional, which was a real standout. If you’re looking a short break or find yourself visiting one of the many local attractions, De Vere Cranage Estate is a great place to stay.
What’s On
With Christmas fast approaching, there is a selection of events throughout December. From Christmas Party nights for celebrating the festivities, to Sunday Lunch with Father Christmas, where families can enjoy 3 courses, live music and a visit to Santa’s Grotto.
