Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Very small & noisy room with dwarf walls.
It’s an annex with dwarf walls on one side. You can’t use the toilet without banging your head against it. Windows are drafty and don’t isolate the noise from the main road. Room looked bigger in picture but is actually very small. Disappointing experience!
Very friendly, clean and well run place. Perfect for our trip to Chester Racecourse. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend.
Great location, friendly staff. Great breakfast and latte!
Bad: main light didn’t work, milk was out of date in the tea stand, no vanity, when the sink is on the water goes up into the bath tub
I received a warm welcome on arrival. The place is easy to find and has plenty of parking. Food is delicious! The stairs are a little steep, but I do have a sore foot at time of writing, so any stairs are a nuisance right now. I already booked my next stay!
Our family of ten stayed for three nights in five separate rooms. Overall the rooms were clean and comfortable but small. In particular, one couple stayed in a room on the main floor off of the bar and that room was super small. There is quite a bit of road noise but it quiets down during the night. The staff was super friendly. And the restaurant offered a variety of tasty options. The hotel is located just a few miles outside of town and has lots of parking.
Very confused by the number of 5* reviews as this wasn’t our experience at all. We wouldn’t stay again and certainly wouldn’t recommend to anyone else. Two biggest issues were that the hotel is right next to a main road that is incredibly noisy. The hotel provides earplugs, but if you’re at a stage of providing earplugs then really this should be stated in the hotel descriptions as light sleepers have no chance, not to mention the entire bed shaking as larger trucks go past. Second major issue is that our room was 2/3s half height due to slanted ceilings. As two tall people this was really inconvenient and proved a nightmare when it came to the shower which is tiny due to the restricted full height space. Windows also cannot be opened as clearly the hotel is very close to a farm or treatment plant, so the smell is awful. Outside of these issues, there were other minor ones such a no space to place bags or toiletries, plug sockets being totally inaccessible and poor quality toilet paper. Really this hotel should have its main issues cited on the website, though, as if you’re tall/have a bad back/are a light sleeper then this place just isn’t for you.
Room was great, very clean, a little quirky regarding headspace, but loved the fan effect on the towels and toilet paper!
Only downside was the vibration from lorries passing.
Staff were freindly and the pub busy.
Top rated cleanliness, outstanding services, responsive to requests, quiet and comfortable. Easy check in , check out process, adjoining pub has excellent food. Option to not have beds made or towels changed daily would have been good, great value.
I stayed two nights in this hotel with my husband and my husbands relatives. It was mostly a good stay.
The room was clean and a good size for two people and had an en suite bathroom. It was not too far from where we were visiting which was a plus point.
Being of a certain age and not very mobile we were glad that we only had one flight of stairs to climb to the room.
The food we had was good but the service was a bit slow at breakfast time. To improve the comfort of the room it would have been nice to have had a chair to sit on for reading and/or using the computer.
