Highly recommended

Fantastic stay. The staff were amazing, especially James on reception, who went out of his way for us. The room was very clean and spacious, as was the lobby area. Breakfast was of a very high standard with excellent quality sausage and bacon. Again, the service was excellent with helpful and friendly staff. We also used the pool and steam room, and the receptionist was lovely.

Great stay with really friendly staff

We booked here for a stay close to Chester Zoo and it really is a great find! The staff were all really pleasant. The food in the restaurant wasn't ground breaking but it was fine. Breakfast was good with gluten free options which are always welcome. The pool is fine but on the small side. The toilets in the pool were in bad condition, blocked and tissue on floor etc. The hotel room was a good size and beds were comfy. We had very noisy neighbours but that can't be helped. We'd definitely stay here again

2 night weekend break

We were given a room for the disabled traveller, although we didn't need one. Room was spacious and comfortable. Good sized wet room/wc. The equipment such as grab rails desperately need reeplacing. Although Operative they were rusty and stained. Puuting this aside we had a lovely 2 night stay
