The Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport takes the stress out of travelling. It’s walking distance to all the terminals at Manchester Airport, but you don’t even have to pound the pavements. Why? Because there’s a free 24-hour shuttle service that will drop and pick you up from the airport and train station.

If that wasn’t obvious already, this is an airport hotel with a difference. You can grab pre-ordered takeaway breakfasts from 5.30am – perfect for early flights. Plus, there’s 24/7 room service, for late landers. The Grill Restaurant’s open the rest of the time for locally sourced, freshly prepared meals. And the Aviator Bar’s the place to come for coffee or cocktails, depending on the hour. And there’s a garden terrace to sit out on when the weather’s playing ball.

Young diners have their own menu here, too. But that’s not the only family-friendly feature. You can also book dedicated family rooms for up to two adults and two kids, or interconnecting rooms for up to nine guests across three rooms.
