We stayed here for 3 nights chosen because of location ,CAMRA listed premises ,good value onsite parking . We stayed on the 5th floor in a standard room, which for two adults both with cases was a little small ,but ok for what we needed. Breakfast was buffet style and had the expected range of food and was OK. We would probably stay here again if visiting Chester it was handy for everything

No buffet, you have to book a time and order but there was a good variety. Rooms are very big with both a shower and bathtub, bed was very comfortable. The downside is that they do not clean your rooms daily, so you have to use the same towels and make your own bed unfortunately. I think this is due to covid, but was disappointed by it as I like a fresh towels and my room cleaned. Also no mini fridge in the room, but there is kettle, tea/coffee, safe, hairdryer, ironing board and free WiFi. Overall a nice traditional countryside English hotel with large rooms. Friendly staff and pretty gardens to sit outside.

It was that time of the month where I needed some chill out time…read more Situated two miles away from the city centre of Chester lies this gem. This building like many others in this city is stunning and full of character. Dated from 1779 this country house is still lavish, with antique rugs, dark wooden furnishings and stairwell..the floorboards give that satisfying creak when you step on them. Anyway having checked in, the receptionist also takes £50 off your card, whatever you don't spend within the hotel they reimburse you..watch out for that. Each room is stunningly decorated, you can even watch tv while you have a dump :p we left the robes and slippers and walked down with our towels to the spa. The reception here provided us with towels and offered spa treatments ranging from £30 a back massage. We were here for the pool. ChAnging rooms were fabulous and spacious. With lockers, hair dryers and decent showers. Only dispute were old towels left behind..they should place a laundry basket here. Entering the pool was idyllic..the sun was just setting through the large conservatory windows. In the corner offers a Jacuzzi in which you activate by the switch..the pool was of decent size, overlooking the gym and the steam room was sufficient. The dry sauna was under construction though. Getting changed for dinner , we were led to a cosey room where a gent at the bar brought us our wine and a menu over. I believe it was three courses for just over £25. Bargain for Rosette quality food. Amongst the wood pigeon, I had the ricotta cheese bread crumbed balls,and mushroom risotto for main My friend ordered the pate and salmon for mains. A complimentary bruchetta was provided..making me first think the portions were going to be small. However food was spot on in quantity, and what I could taste (with a sinus cold) was divine. The waitress was very attentive, although we had to ask for butter for our bread. Overall a gorgeous hotel with food and service to match. I will be back.

Great hotel! This is…read moreactually probably one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in Europe. My only downside is the fact that you could tell the building used to be used for something else and it shows in the rooms. The way the rooms are designed and painted kinda looks dingy in some areas, at least mine did. That said, I was very satisfied with the size of them. I also have to thank the hotel for helping me ace my Spanish exam, I had to take a spanish exam via skype to graduate from Glasgow uni and their wifi came in clutch. I just wish breakfast was included for everyone. Especially given my mum is a platinum member of BW

Beware that there is major construction taking place beside the hotel (student accommodation i think). Our view was of a building site which made my heart sink when we arrived. We were awoken at 7am with lots of hammering and drilling. Really unimpressed and disappointed that the hotel had not tried to place us in a room away from the construction. It was a Sunday night so assumed it wasn't too busy to do this. Luckily I had ear plugs as we didn't have the energy to phone and argue with the staff to get moved. The room was very spacious but to the point it felt a bit empty and souless. Gaping spaces in the room just felt unwelcoming. Plain decor with the exception of the bright carpet and bed head. Comfy bed and non-feather pillows which we prefer. Don't try checking in early as we discovered they turnaround the rooms very late. I arrived back at my room around 5.30 and the cleaning service was only then leaving. Very unusual. The air con was good as we stayed during unseasonably warm weather so nice to sleep in coolness. In terms of service, the staff seemed a bit distracted and didn't seem particularly helpful. My favourite part of the hotel is the spa which is located in another building opposite - very hot jacuzzi, with a cool small pool, and a warm small pool, with sauna, and steamroom. The sparkly lights were not on when we visited which i was disappointed with as the pictures on the website make it look really pretty. Also, they don't seem to have many padlocks for their lockers. My husband and i had to share a locker which was inconvenient being in separate changing rooms. It was a reasonable hotel but i wouldn't rush back and would certainly avoid until construction of student accommodation is finished!

I stayed at this hotel on a Saturday night with 2 friends in a triple room. We found the hotel…read moreeasily - it was well located close to Liverpool Lime Street and Liverpool Central stations. We had to climb some stairs to get to the reception area which was fine for us but it is worth noting that there did not seem to be a lift if you find climbing stairs difficult. The entrance area was light and airy, and the reception / bar area was small but comfortable. The friendly staff got us checked in and showed us to our triple room which was room number 1, just outside the reception area. The room itself was large enough - it had 3 single beds side by side and a large area to one side in front of the bathroom with space to get ready. Our window opened over a sort of courtyard area with potted plants. The bathroom was a good enough size with an easy to use shower. The beds were comfy and it was not too noisy even though it was a Saturday night. There is a Tesco Metro just up the street too which is really handy if you forget any of the essentials or just need a snack.

Anyhow, it was a nice pub, and like a number of the pubs out in the country, it also have a rather nice beer garden out the back, though I can't necessarily say that the beers really jumped out at me all that much. Mind you, as it turns out, the service really wasn't all that crash hot.

The cat and lion is quite a large pub but feels like it has lots of different rooms to eat in. it does have a large family area but there is no play area etc. you will always find a table. It also has the added bonus of a premier inn/travel lodge next door for people requiring overnite stays. The menu its self is like most pubs, the usual steaks, fish, burgers and pies.It has childrens food and a section for people who have smaller appetites, which i find good with children who are older.You get a table first then place your order at the bar. i did find the bar staff slow and not too professional.

The bar / lounge area is great for relaxing and breakfast was lovely. They also serve dinner but we didn't eat there in the evenings. Our room (#6) was small and the shower wasn't great but as a place to rest your head it is fine. The staff (including bosscat Brookie) were so nice and friendly and that made such a difference. It's a short walk into the centre of Chester and there's a bus nearby to take you to the zoo and into Liverpool. We'd go back if we were staying in Chester again.

The prorietors go to a lot of trouble to ensure guests are happy and there is a great deal of evidence of their attention to detail. Breakfast was great, dinner was satsfactory. Bedrooms clean and comfortable, and the hotel has lots of amenities. I would have given this five stars if the free Wi-Fi had worked in the bedroom but the signal was too weak, although good in the lounge areas. Value for money is very good here, and I would certainly reccommend it. It is within walking distance of Bache and Chester stations, each about 15 minutes away.
