I stayed there for 5 months whilst consulting for an IT firm in Knutsford. The staff took such great care of me and catered to my needs. I was a night shift worker and as such made odd requests like 4 AM breakfast, midday breakfast and 2 AM dinner. They always delivered and after the first few weeks they almost predicted my ants and needs. The owner even took me on his rounds when I was off and bored or when I needed to visit a Warrington shop and getting a taxi would cost me extra. I'm from Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. I even created my own sandwich (Prawn and something I can recall) which I wonder if they still do. THANK YOU AND STAY SAFE LONGVIEW.

Rang up to cancel our stay well before the day and money (200) was still taken out. On ringing the hotel they had absolutely no interest in the situation. A genuine miscommunication somewhere but still complete disregard for what I had to say. Disgusting! A number of reviews have commented on the poor level of customer service, and I can see why. Will be taking this further, plenty of excellent hotels in knutsford so don't book here!

One of my favourite places in England. I lived near Knutsford when we lived in England and this hotel stands out. They were flexible with check in and this hotel has a lot of character and an interesting history. The rooms were well appointed and clean and the staff were flexible and professional. They were also informative re train schedules and Tatton Park. If you are tired of chain hotels without atmosphere I reccomend the Longview.

The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly. We did not have a meal there so I don't know what the standard of the meals were like.

Small room situated in a separate building nearby (converted terraced house). Shower not working properly. TV remote only worked if within 2ft. Bed/pillows not very comfortable.
