The Plough is tucked away in the village of Eaton, around two miles from Congleton and is the sort of country pub that makes escaping for a night or two wonderfully straightforward. This handsome 400-year-old, half-timbered and half brick inn combines bags of historic character with 17 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, hearty homemade food and a welcoming bar. The setting is particularly appealing for exploring this corner of Cheshire. Little Moreton Hall, Biddulph Grange Garden and Jodrell Bank are all within easy driving distance, while Congleton, Macclesfield and the western fringes of the Peak District open up plenty of possibilities for walking, sightseeing and leisurely days out.

Bedrooms
The Plough has 17 en-suite bedrooms set away from the main pub building to offer a little extra peace. The rooms are traditional and comfortable rather than overly elaborate, making them well suited to walkers, families and business/wedding guests. There is a choice of accommodation for different stays, including double, deluxe, twin, and family options. In the morning, wake up to a cooked breakfast.
Food & Drink
Food is one of the pleasures of staying at The Plough, with a regularly changing menu of freshly prepared, homemade dishes served in the pub and Orangery restaurant. Expect comforting classics, seasonal specials, and more contemporary plates. Lighter lunchtime options include freshly made sandwiches, while Sundays bring traditional roasts and all the trimmings. The bar retains the feel of a proper country pub, with cask ales sourced from local microbreweries forming an important part of the drinks offering. There is plenty beyond beer, including an interesting choice of wines, a tempting cocktail list, and good coffee.
