We were visiting Manchester and just needed somewhere other than inner city or airport accommodation. The Merlin at Alderley Edge fit the bill beautifully .

I've eaten here a number of times over the years, the food is pretty decent and there is an extensive menu. Maybe too extensive, there is an abundance of choice.
