The Stanneylands
Wilmslow, England, United Kingdom · Independent · Near Luxury
The Stanneylands is a country-house hotel on a narrow lane north of Wilmslow, with four acres of garden and wood around it. Prima Hotels went into administration in May 2015. Mark Boler and Gary Corbett, owners of The Mere at Knutsford, paid 4.15 million pounds that December and reopened the house in April 2017. JW Lees, the Manchester brewery family, later bought it from them. The lane is the point: stables up the road, Styal beyond, the airport ten minutes off.

About The Stanneylands
- JW Lees already had the Alderley Edge Hotel when they took The Stanneylands. The bar pours the brewery's own ales, from a firm with more than 190 years of brewing behind it.
- Stanneylands Road was left in its old cobbles for years so drivers would slow down beside the hotel wall, which has no pavement. Little Stanneylands Stud is just up the lane.
