The Old Trafford Lodge

Outside the city centre, over by The Quays, lies Lancashire County Cricket Club. The Old Trafford Lodge offers views from its balconies overlooking the ground. It's perfect for match days but it's pretty otherwise, too - and there’s free parking and wifi included.

The Lodge is comfortable but not luxurious (something that's reflected in the price), and there aren’t fancy restaurants in which to eat. But as a quiet, out of the centre place to rest your weary head, it’s affordable and a must for cricket fans.
