Room was nice and big, had large comfortable bed with a great shower. We ate in the tapas restaurant downstairs, the food was also very good. The staff were really friendly and helpful too.
Home from home. Always a warm Northern welcome with delicious food, great service, and a great night's sleep. At the foot of the Pennines with countryside nearby.
There are quite a few steps to get to the rooms, so you need to be agile enough to navigate them.
We liked the restaurant the food and staff were lovely
Wasn’t that impressed tbh
Beautiful and characterful room. Fantastic breakfast, especially the full English which had the best black pudding ever. The staff made our stay an absolute pleasure.
Staff were friendly and attentive, bed was super super comfy!
Rooms quite loud, you could hear the bar from the rooms

Staff were attentive and reacted well when we needed to change rooms (see below). Restaurant food (tapas) was excellent and well priced. Breakfast was a good choice. Location was perfect for us. Travelled by EV. There are rapid chargers 3 miles away in Rochdale.

Friendly. Food excellent
Steps up your rooms
The Rake is like a second home to me. Every time we have a friendly welcome, a great meal, so many dishes to choose from, a fantastic sleep, an amazing breakfast, and lovely walks in the area. Great service from all the staff who work so hard to make it a wonderful experience. It's great for a romantic meal for two, a small group party like my Dad's recent 85th birthday. Can't recommend it enough!
