Last weekend, my boyfriend and I hopped on a train to Knutsford with our dog in tow for one night at the beautiful, historic Courthouse Hotel.
The Courthouse, part of the Flat Cap Hotels group, has reopened its imposing yet welcoming doors after shutting up shop for an extensive 12 month renovation. The Grade II listed building, based in Cheshire, has been entirely reimagined and we were invited to try it out and see how the transformation measures up in the flesh.
There's no denying The Courthouse's beauty; it's a traditional building steeped in history, though it's been finished with classically styled yet contemporary features and facilities. It's immediately visible from Knutsford train station and only a few minute's walk from there - ideal if, like me, you can't drive - but it's also easily accessible by car.
