Moss Lodge

I recently spent a week at the Moss Lodge. I am an American novelist and went to Rochdale to do research for a new book. I chose the Lodge as it looked like a proper English Manor House, which it is, and I wanted that atmosphere. I was greeted at the door by Samantha with an offer of tea in the cozy parlor while my suitcases were whisked up to a beautiful luxurious room, outfitted with all the comforts of home. When I asked for "streaky-bacon" for my breakfasts, it was there the each morning along with a lovely fruit bowl, brown toast, and a veggie sausage. I only had to ask once. Paula on the weekends cared for me like an older sister, Olga was a gem, and everyone there made me feel like I was in my home away from home. In some ways, it was like coming back home to discover my family's home. It's touted as a business hotel, and its convenience to the city, public transport, and dining I could see why. I had breakfast each morning, and a wonderful dinner...all reasonably priced. I hope to one day return, and of course, if I do, this will be my home.
