I wasn't expecting much from this pub. After dawdling idly through barren estates that I'd never…read moreseen before in which the only marker to show where we were was the turbid streak of river to our left, I found this building. Seemingly propped up on one side by an outcrop of rock and with a doorway populated by glaring smokers, it resembled somewhere that would result in my gruesome death if I supported the wrong team or hated places rhyming with geranium. You can tell I was wrong. It got five stars for one thing. Inside, the Herculaneum Bridge was surprisingly well decorated, with a wide, acorn-coloured bar that had model ships and steamrollers dotted above it. The barman was the epitome of Liverpudlian hospitality- mockingly jokey and the quiz machine paid out like a dodgy cash machine. Then when I thought it couldn't get better, the barman shouted us to show he'd poured us three pints 'on the house'. It shows how plagued by cynicism I am that I was unnerved by getting free drinks off the staff. Things like that don't happen, ever. The only downside with this pub is that it's miles from anywhere and I imagine would be difficult for tourists to find if they were using it as a hotel. However, if that means it remains my hidden secret then I hope it stays lost forever in the centre of nowhere. It's mine, my own, my precious.

This is a new hotel in the famous Port Sunlight Village, but also has a thriving restaurant of…read moreexcellent quality. Had a recent dinner with other famnily members , and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The modern decor is very attractive, and the staff pleasant and attentive. The food was mainly modern European, and though we all had different courses, none of us was disappointed. We will doubtless visit again,, its much nicer than the nearby Village Hotel . The food rivals Gusto in Heswall which is a regular haunt of ours

Village is a derrogatory term used in cricketing circles to describe something that is challenged…read morein one way or another. I suppose it originates from the association with the village idiot term which is used to describe a wierd individual in a community or one who behaves in a way that is to the dismay of the general population. Now that I have described the meaning of one of my favourite words to utter, I may continue on my merry way to review this hotel . Any how on my yelp inspired journey I bring to you my fellow yelpadres another chain of hotels in our fair greens of Kingdom of United by the name of Village hotels. Twenty be the number aye of hotels of the Village persuasion and this one has taken my fancy indeedeth!!! You see whether your stay is for business or for leisure this place does not dissappoint, as unfortunate as the name may be. There really isn't much not to like here you have comfortable bedrooms, a state of the art Health and Fitness Club, decent restaurant, ok pub, nice Café, Healthworks wellness and beauty, The Hub meeting and conference centre, VILLAGE live party nights and a Velocity Fitness Shop!!! God that was a mouthful wasn't it. Amongst all of that throw in free Wi-fi throughout the hotel and over 300 free car parking spaces, and hey presto you are in bob's your uncle territory!! There really seems to be a great package you get with this hotel chain which is going bit further and making more effort than some other hotels. It's location also isn't too bad either with it being only a few minutes from Junction 5 off the M53. Ideal launch pad really for exploring the Pool, Albert Dock and Beatles Story as well as the superb shopping on the Wirral, Chester, Marina West Kirby and nearby Cheshire Oaks. Despite having 117 bedrooms you'd still have to book well in advance as they are busy busy busy which is a good sign for a hotel. I like the decor of the rooms it creates a workable fusion between rustic and modern and of course as is the norm these days, all rooms are equipped with flat screen TV's with Sky Sports and other satellite entertainment channels. The hotel also boasts these Sealy ZZZzzz beds which are specially designed to prevent tossing and turning and relieve pressure points while you sleep. Hmmm the jury is out on that one but they are damn comfortable I tell you that because I am actually aware of the Sealy bed making company and yes they do make very nice beds!! I liked this Village hotel, and I'd definately stay in another Village hotel again might look it up when I'm next on the move.... So...why don't you look up this one now that I've introduced you...who knows you might have a great night together !!!

This is a really nice place, I've stayed here (as a hotel guest) many years ago but mainly use it…read morenow for the gym and fitness suites, the pool and the restaurant bar! Really nice staff, good place to eat and enjoy, and if you want to watch the sport a great chance to see it on one of the biggest TVs on the Wirral!
