The Silk Rooms, at the Freemasons Inn

We enjoyed our one night stay at The Silk Rooms whilst visiting family. The rooms are well placed in the centre of Knutsford with lots of eateries nearby. The automated check in worked well and we were impressed with the size of our bedroom, small hallway and bathroom. The rooms are painted in very dark colours which was fine during the day when the sun was shining but would be a bit gloomy on a dull day. The large bed was very comfortable and, once the planes landing at Manchester airport had stopped flying overhead at midnight, we slept well (It would help if the windows were double glazed). There was a coffee maker in the room and a kettle, plenty of tea and coffee but not enough milk (you really needed two sachets of milk in the coffee and we only had five so were only able to make one drink). There was also only one packet of two biscuits which seemed a bit mean when the room had been booked for two people. The bathroom was wet room style and was large with an excellent shower. The sink, however, was ridiculously tiny - not big enough to wash your face without water going everywhere and no space under the tap to fill the kettle - there was plenty of room for a decent sized sink so this seemed a strange decision. On the whole, a reasonable place to stay but with a few less than perfect aspects.

This is the second time we have stayed here, we had different rooms and both had extremely comfortable large beds. This time we had a fantastic bath as well as the great shower. The rooms have fabulous decor and everything is thought of. We also love the location, not far from the M6 but also a beautiful town to mooch around with lovely places to eat. Tatton park is also within walking distance which worth a visit.

Excellent location and Knutsford is a lovely town under the flightpath of Manchester airport (loads of planes) . Very nice room, the bed was really comfortable, nice temperature and very clean and tidy. Was in room 2 and upstairs was very noisy and creaky at night, sounded like someone was walking around in circles. The shower was good though sprays water all over the bathroom floor. Also the window for the bathroom is right next to the walkway so someone will get an eyeful if you forget to close the blinds. Overall really good

Silk Mill - what a beautiful boutique property! The decor and furnishings are exquisite. We loved the contactless and keyless aspect of our check-in - there was no waiting around and instructions to check in was very straight forward. Our room was lovely and cosy with a very comfortable king size bed. The location and parking facilities were perfect. Thank You

Mixed review bed was comfortable, photos make room look a lot bigger than it is was in room 1 and we had the room above us banging till past midnight, then to top it of the managed to set the fire alarms of just after 7 the next morning, then when we got back in are room they were singing with there door open had to turn the tell up to block it out. The place could really do with some kind of sound proofing. I know that’s not the fault of silk rooms Not a lot of tea,coffee and milk in the room. Location is good feel it’s a bit overpriced

Loved the decor and a really great location. Shame the pub was being refurbished as I’m sure it would have been great. Location was fantastic being in the middle of the town and we went to a great Spanish restaurant recommended by the owner. Also great that we could walk out to Tatton Park in the morning. Small point and mostly of my making being a light sleeper, but there was a lot of noise with people coming back from the pub and being on the flight path I was woken up by planes at 6am.

Such a beautifully furnished place and very central to Knutsford. A really lovely stay and perfect shower with the comfiest bed. Lovely design and bed linen. Lots of lovely places to eat nearby. Check in perfect. Highly recommend this gem.

Stayed for one night mid week. All info leading up was on time, however the links to check in were broken. Key code by text/email worked and access was straight forward. Lots of tiny stairwells- I dont advise a large suitcase. Room was as the photos, boutique and very dark. Bed very comfortable. Warm room temp and we couldn't figure the air con so had a muggy night. Major down side was the refreshments. No pods for the coffee machine, very sparse milks, sugar and instant coffee provided. Not a teaspoon to be found in the room. Sounds like a small thing but thats what gets the return custom/recommendation. Room to improve on customer experience.

This is definitely a mixed review, knutsford itself is an amazing place and we loved it, but on arriving at the silk rooms we had mixed feelings, we were in room 6 at the top of the building, the exterior steps to access the rooms are metal and open plan with glass sides, I was terrified going up and down them, especially when they were wet, the windows in our room were very small and made the grey painted interior even darker, the large bed was amazingly comfortable, and the bathroom is stunning, but there were no drawers to put anything in and my clothes were kept in my suitcase as I needed to hang up my husbands shirts on the 5 hangers on the clothes rail, there was no milk and no I stand coffee, and we could only seem to get hot water from the coffee maker despite putting coffee pods in, it would have been nice to have some bottles of water too, and maybe an iron and ironing board, we couldn’t get any of the wall lights to work, we returned from our day out to find our bed was unmade and our coffee cups were still unwashed even though the bins were emptied and there were a few new sachets of tea etc on the unmade bed! Such a shame as it’s a lovely room despite being so dark that u have to have the lights turned on even during the day, it seems very hit and miss
