Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel & Spa

We recently stayed at the Mollington Banastre Hotel & Spa, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is ideal, especially if you're planning a trip to Chester Zoo, and the hotel’s grounds make it feel like a true escape.

We booked a dog‑friendly room, and it exceeded expectations. Spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The open grounds were perfect for taking the dog out, which made the stay even more relaxing.

The heated pool, gym and spa facilities were a real highlight. Everything felt inviting, and perfect for unwinding.

Food-wise, the hotel really shines. The fish and chips were excellent, and the afternoon tea was a real treat. I was also impressed by the range of gluten‑free options, which were clearly thought through. Service throughout was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

I’d highly recommend the Mollington Banastre Hotel & Spa for anyone looking for comfort, great food, and a dog‑friendly stay near Chester.

Location was perfect as we only traveled to Chester town centre and it wasn’t far at all.

That it was accessible and close to Cheshire oaks and the staff were lovely.

This hotel managed to cater a very large group exceptionally well, even if booked very late.

We spent last night at this hotel. It was very good value for money and included a lovely breakfast. The spa and and pool were free to use and the staff were excellent, especially Lindsey on reception.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend stay at Mollington Spa Hotel and had such a great experience. We stayed as a family of four and used the hotel as a base to explore Chester, which worked perfectly. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted so warmly and made to feel welcome straight away.

Our room was clean and comfortable, with a very comfy bed and a bathroom that included both a bath and shower, which was ideal for the family. We ate in the restaurant every evening and, as quite a fussy eater myself, I honestly could not fault the food. There was plenty of choice for everyone. We also travelled with friends who have a gluten intolerance and the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful with his dietary needs.

Breakfast each morning had everything we could have wanted, including tea, coffee, cereals and a great selection of hot food. We also enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea during our stay. The cakes are made on site and were absolutely delicious.

The leisure facilities were fantastic. The gym was fully equipped and we loved using the sauna, jacuzzi and heated swimming pool. It was especially lovely that there was a smaller section in the pool for little ones too, and there were squash courts available as part of the facilities.

The hotel grounds were beautiful and well kept, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. We had an amazing stay and cannot wait to return again with the family.

Great location for spending the following day in Chester. Lovely grounds and swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna were a great asset. We didn't use the gym but it looked well equipped. Room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels, pillows etc. Staff were great; chatty, helpful and friendly. Always had the time of day for you which is rarely the case, I've found in some hotels. I feelnthe staff are the best asset. It was quiet and we had a great night's sleep. Enjoyed breakfast the following morning. Cereal and fruit to start, followed by sausage, bacon, egg, beans and mushrooms. Very tasty. Also freshly baked croissants, which were lovely. Great value for money. I'd stay again, should I be in the area.

The garden, so tranquil and calm.

This was an amazing experience and honesty lyndsey at reception was the absolute highlight so friendly and kind and welcoming very good to have a laugh with and the rooms were clean and beds were comfy the only fault was that we did not enjoy the English breakfast but everything else was amazing a special thanks to lyndsey and the rest of the staff for making a great stay for us!
