Although the parish of Gawsworth is quaint, it is extremely popular with visitors and walkers and is rather affluent. The Church and Gawsworth Hall are beautiful, historical buildings and as such, extremely photogenic, resulting in a rather long wait for those wanting to get married there. Although the pub is located down a country lane, it can be seen from the main road through Gawsworth connecting Congleton and Macclesfield, creating an abundance of passing traffic from commuters, along with locals.

The Harrington Arms is well known for good pub grub and a decent pint. With the abundance of fireplaces and the huge beer garden, this pub has something to offer all year round. 

The trading accommodation is split up into five main trading areas. These quaint rooms are completely in keeping with the atheistic of the pub and are cosy with open fires, original stone, and quarry-tiled floors. On entering the pub, you are welcomed into a wide hallway, providing access to most of the rooms. The bar is located on the right-hand side with room for local drinkers. From the bar, you have the choice of two rooms with loose fixtures and fittings, for roughly 20 covers. To the left, there are a further two rooms, both with fireplaces and equalling roughly 30 covers between them. The beer garden is located through a door at the end of the hallway, after passing the access to the private accommodation, customer toilets, and the trading kitchen.

The beer garden is an exceptional size, with breathtaking views over the rolling countryside. There is a large patio area, with five, large wooden-built Gazebos, complete with overhead heaters, along with several picnic benches, dotted over the lawn itself. There is also access to the beer garden from the front of the pub for those with muddy boots, who’d prefer to stay outside after a long walk, ready for a well-deserved pint.

The private accommodation can be accessed from within the pub, or around the back via a private entrance/fire escape. It is a good size and spans over two floors. The first floor comprises a Kitchen, Lounge, Office, Two bedrooms (one with an En-suite), and a main bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, a utility room, and a bathroom. In keeping with the rest of the pub, the private accommodation is what would be expected from a traditional farmhouse with its wonky charm and character.
