About Governors House
On Ravenoak Rd in Stockport, Governors House is a pub with guest rooms above, offering overnight stays with breakfast served each morning. The kitchen runs a generous pub menu, and the restaurant seats multiple tables at once with staff working the floor and servers assigned to each one. A beer garden sits alongside the main room, and TV screens carry sports for anyone dropping in to watch. Dogs are welcome throughout. The combination of rooms and food means guests can eat downstairs, settle in for a match, and walk upstairs to sleep without leaving the building.

Customer Review Summary
Guests repeatedly praise the overnight stays, calling rooms clean and the breakfast beautiful and more than expected, with staff described as friendly and welcoming. Festive lunch drew mixed marks, with excellent starters and vegetables but one diner finding the turkey wet and tasteless with no stuffing. Another wished menus offered humanely raised meat options. One heat wave left windows barely opening despite a fan.

“Food was excellent value for money. Service from Mark and Jess was exemplary. I would only wish to eat meat where the animal has been humanely killed. Thus I think menus should enable this choice”

“We had a lovely five days at the pub. You start to feel like your family by the end of it they put on a beautiful breakfast in the morning more than we expected. The staff was very friendly and the food was nice. My only complaint would be don’t stay in England during a heat wave. They supplied us with a fan for our room, but your windows don’t open but an inch. Without a heat wave, It would’ve been a 10 out of 10. A few things to know: no shampoo/conditioner supplied, just body wash and there is coffee and tea in the room. Room 2 was perfectly quiet, even though FIFA World Cup was on.”

“Had a lovely meal and was given impeccable service by Olivia. She did a remarkable job of serving many tables very efficiently. I’ve seen teams of people do a worse job than what she was able to manage alone so hats off to her. All in all we had a very pleasant experience and will return as a result.”
