“With some of the largest conferencing facilities in the North West region, this establishment strikes me as a smart choice for business, though it also caters seamlessly to families with its kids-eat-free deals; proximity to the M56 is a definite plus, and the health club with its indoor pool seals the deal for me. The dining exceeded expectations, portions were so huge that two could have shared a plate. A solid option in Runcorn, especially if you're looking for convenience without sacrificing comfort.”
