Here’s our pick of the best hotels near Manchester airport that are either a walk, shuttle or inexpensive taxi ride away. When asking about taxi fares, it’s worth confirming whether the price includes an airport drop-off fee.

Oddfellows On The Park, Cheadle

Wake up surrounded by 100 acres of green parkland with a stay at Oddfellows On The Park in Cheadle. If planes didn’t pass overhead regularly (triple glazing prevents them disturbing you), you could forget that you’re just a 15-minute drive from the airport – allow between £17 and £22 in a taxi. The 22-room boutique hotel in the Victorian Bruntwood Hall mansion still retains some lovely original features, from its sweeping banister and tiled reception floor to the restored stucco ceiling in its Galloping Major restaurant. If the sun is shining, enjoy pre-holiday cocktails on its terrace watching life in the public park.
