Veldig hyggelig, intimt og rimelig sted en liten kjøretur fra Chester sentrum som er verdt å besøke. Koselig at man har bar og restaurant i samme bygg. Fikk en hyggelig samtale med svært trivelige naboer som kom inn for å feire avslutning på campingsesongen. Koselig besetning og vakkert rom. Anbefalest varmt.

They give you free earplugs in each room, and in fairness it was a little noisey, though i managed a good night's sleep without them. The hotel shook slightly when heavy vehicles were passing. The staff were excellent though and the price was fantastic, great easy parking too. Had to leave early, so i didn't have breakfast, so can't comment on food.

Would recommend

Good location a few minutes drive out of city centre. Staff are friendly and attentive. Rooms are a decent size and very clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast in the morning (not included) and reasonably priced for the quality of product used. Would recommend and would stay again if returning to Chester

Such a nice place to stay and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. My daughter loved the fries from the night before that much that she asked for them again for breakfast 😅 As weird a request it was at 9am, they did them for her. I think things like that really go a long way. We’ll definitely be staying again.

Great location, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. The only downside is that heavy lorries early in the morning are likely to give you a wake-up call unless you are a heavy sleeper

It is what it says on the tin; a pub with rooms. Food was delicious (I had the chicken tagliatelle and home made sticky toffee pudding for dinner) and a great choice for brekky .... smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with ANCHOVY muffin was yummy.... but for a 'pub' to then charge an extra £3+ for a tea bag in hot water just left me feeling a bit miffed! The white wine (NZ Marlborough, £8.20 large glass) with the evening meal wasn't very chilled either and tasted much more like a Chardonnay). If you're going to offer these items, I think it's vital to get them right. Just my opinion of course
Lush!
Yummy!

Ok for 1 night

We stayed 2 nights in annex. Bed VERY firm, pillows hard or lumpy So didnt sleep well. But others may like this, Constant fan whirring from kitchen below. Carwash next door and garage ,some guy there 11pm With screaming kids! I know this isnt the hotels fault, but be aware. The property has very heavy fire doors which inconsiderate neighbours on sunday kept slamming at night while going out for cigarette i assume . Again not the hotels fault but it adds up to not sleeping. Also the room itself was VERY bland, marks everywhere, ripped headboard,scuffs,big bathroom with the smallest basin so awkward for washing face, or when my partner tried to shave, cant fill kettle up or bottle to replenish . Nowhere to put toiletries, which again lots of space for nice shelves or unit. Shower head needs changing. Silicon around tray needs replacing. Its lots of little things. Also the garden,huts need some loving. It could be so much nicer its a shame Parking was plentiful, food was nice in restaurant. Didnt have brekky tho. Staff were nice . 15min walk to the canal ( but along a very busy main road!)
