I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were amazing, especially the master suite, although the lack of air conditioning made for some uncomfortable nights. The location, being quiet and out in the country, was really enjoyable, and the outdoor space was a nice bonus. The dining was a mixed bag with some overpriced items, but the service was top-notch with staff catering well to special dietary needs.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel - the rooms were cozy and comfortable, but it lacked some essential amenities. The service was friendly and efficient, although the staff seemed a bit stretched thin at times. The location was serene, offering both countryside peace and easy access to the city center. The dining experience was subpar, needing improvement in variety and service setup.

This hotel is a gem! The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and extremely comfortable. The king-sized bed was a dream, and I loved having two winged chairs and a coffee table. However, the room felt a bit stuffy and warm, and housekeeping could be more considerate about entry times. The service was top-notch, with staff making the prices clear and always greeting us with a smile. Despite some minor cleanliness issues along the way, the team went above and beyond to assist me with a replacement table. The location is superb, just a stone's throw from the center and the zoo, offering a beautiful outlook across the fields. However, some minor nuisances like using feet to open doors could be improved. Dining was a mix of experiences, ranging from a well-organized buffet service to a cold and disappointing meal, highlighting the need for better service consistency. Facilities were great overall, with beautiful grounds and a lovely atmosphere. Some great evening drinks on a deal made for a memorable stay. The value for money was reasonable, especially considering the charming location and nice amenities available.

The hotel is perfect for those looking to stay in a historic location on the outskirts of Chester with spa facilities, but the price may not match the value received. The attention to detail is noticeable, especially early in the morning at 7 am. Ideal for those who enjoy a tranquil environment surrounded by fields and countryside, yet just a short drive from Chester city center.

The room was charged over £200 and didn't seem worth the price. However, the attention to detail was impressive, even at 7 am. Ideal for individuals seeking an old-world charm with access to spa facilities just outside Chester.
