Lovely hotel and really nice decor. There was complementary Prosecco, milk and cookies for supper and breakfast brought to the room, they really go the extra mile for guests. I don’t usually leave reviews but I couldn’t not leave a review.

Lovely little hotel, nestled in the heart of Manchester. Staff could not do enough to help, nothing was too much. It was a really pleasant stay, me and the wife will certainly stop here again next time we're in Manchester.

Lovely restored building, very quirky. Lacks storage space but if you’re only there for 1 or 2 nights this is unlikely to be an issue. Extremely comfortable beds. We experienced some outside noise very early in the morning (shouting & smashing bottles) but this wouldn’t deter me from booking again, we really enjoyed our stay.

Great base for going out to socialise. The rooms on the lower ground were subject to a lot of external noise, particularly with it being the weekend.
Water in the shower was cold on arrival. In fairness the staff responded promptly and resolved it but the following the same happened again.
We requested 1 gluten free breakfast due to my wifes gluten allergy but what was provided was not what we ordered.

Great stay
Staff were super friendly and the hotel was close to everything. Got a complimentary glass of prosecco and nibbles which was a lovely gesture.
Room was in the basement and was nice and quiet so had a good sleep. Linen and pillows good quality and toiletries smelt gorgeous.

The look of the hotel was great, lots of nice touches, great decor and style, cookies at night and prosecco in the evening, lovely bathroom, breakfast in bed was a nice touch but the room was small so there was nowhere to even put the tray for breakfast and as we were in the basement the room was uncomfortably damp so you woke up feeling cold and clammy as the sheets felt damp to the touch. Staff were apologetic and understanding but could do nothing to solve the problem.

It’s one of the best boutique hotels I’ve stayed in. The rooms are comfortable and bed is great.
All the facilities are modern and new. Even has a hairdryer and hair straighten in the bathroom.
The small details make such a difference.
A glass of Prosecco nibbles and cookies and hot chocolate! Then as if that’s not enough they include breakfast delivered to your room on a tray! Amazing !

The hosts at the Cow Hollow are incredible. Very hospitable and welcoming right on arrival. Property is as advertised and you even get breakfast in bed on the house. Roughly a 10 minute walk to Piccadilly station and nightlife is just around the corner. I would stay here again and highly recommend.
