The Plough Inn
“Village inn with lots of character” - AA Inspector
CONGLETON, CHESHIRE
Our Inspector's view
In the traditional Cheshire mould of half-brick, half-timber, this rural inn offers modern accommodation and hearty pub food and drink. Public areas include a stylish Orangery with high quality furnishings and décor schemes highlighting the many original features including open fires and oak beams. Bedrooms, in a separate annexe, are spacious and well equipped. The stunning 17th-century barn, which serves as a function and wedding suite, was moved here piece-by-piece from Wales. A large garden to the rear is also available for dining or drinks.

About the area
Discover Cheshire
Nestled between the Welsh hills and Derbyshire Peaks, the Cheshire plains make an ideal location to take things slow and mess around in boats. Cheshire has more than 200 miles (302 km) of man-made waterways, more than any other county in England. The Cheshire Ring is formed from the Rochdale, Ashton, Peak Forest, Macclesfield, Trent and Mersey and Bridgewater canals. This route takes you through a lot of Cheshire, and bits of other counties as well.
While exploring the county’s waterways, covering ground on foot or admiring the typical white plaster and black timber-frame houses, make sure to have a taste of Cheshire’s most famous produce. Although Cheddar has become Britain’s most popular cheese (accounting for over half of the cheese sales in the UK), it was once Cheshire cheese that was in every workman’s pocket back in the 18th century. Its moist, crumbly texture and slightly salty taste mean it goes well with fruit, peppers or tomatoes. As well as the usual white, there are also red and blue veined varieties.
