Change of use 4/7/2024 to wholly hotel use albeit without planning consent. No planning application found (last checked on 28/3/2025), so exact status of premises and its Use Class being sought with Planning Enforcement officers. Closed 4/7/2024. This was part of a nationwide change in direction by the owning Whitbread group. History: Very large dining pub with accommodation lodge attached. Subtly lit throughout, and set on differing levels; decor was a calming mushroom and wood theme. Restaurant area was to the left of the building, whilst the smaller right side held the casual drink/dine space. Ideally sited for access to Manchester Airport, and the Heald Green rail station. Opened for breakast at 0630 weekdays, and 0700 weekends.
