Where to stay in Burnage
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Beds here are scarce. Most visitors book in Manchester's centre, four miles north, and ride out to Burnage, though a handful of guesthouses stand along Kingsway and on the quieter streets around St Johns Road. Withington and Didsbury, on either flank, carry far more of the small-hotel trade, and Levenshulme adds cheaper rooms to the north.

About Burnage
What are the main landmarks in Burnage?
Churches carry the story. The Church of St Nicholas, Burnage anchors the local list, and St Margaret's Church, St Chad's Church and the Church of St John the Baptist stand at other corners of the district. Mauldeth Hall, a hall rather than a church, breaks the pattern.
The house at 10, St Johns Road rounds out the built record.
What is the history of Burnage?
Burnage keeps its history in stone. No single monument dominates; instead the record runs through parish churches, St Nicholas, St Margaret's, St Chad's and St John the Baptist, each serving a corner of the ground between Withington and Heaton Chapel. Mauldeth Hall is the one secular name among them.
Absorbed into Manchester, the district kept those parish names as its landmarks.
Where is Burnage?
Withington sits west of Burnage, Levenshulme north, Heaton Chapel east, and Didsbury and Heaton Mersey lie beyond the southern edge.
