This Warners is on a wonderful site, beautiful surroundings, 160 acres of grounds and gardens. Lots of history, lots of very old trees, all beautifully kept by just 4 gardeners. Warners itself, good food, varied menu, lovely staff, very good entertainment.

At Lymm services, we discovered that our main coach had failed air conditioning. As the driver had reported the fault the previous week, that coach should not have been used. We had to wait 2.5 hours for a replacement to arrive at Sandbach services. The hotel room was comfortable, but a long walk to the dining room. Housekeeping left a little to be desired - debris in corridors for days. A couple of places we visited on the tour were not good - Seaton was mainly boarded up buildings, Bridport uninteresting. Overall, enjoyed the break

We were very disappointed with our holiday. Due to difficulties with transport we arrives at the hotel four hrs late just in time for dinner we had been travelling since 9am and arrived at 7.15. During our stay trip intinaries were constantly changed and we unnecessary stop every day. The final straw was when two day into the holiday our evening meal was changed to a much earlier time than we had originally been told. Not good enough Shearings. All changes down to Shearings lack of organisation.
