No regrets at all. Will stay again.
Pros:

Never had breakfast but the price for continental breakfast at £14 seems excessive.
Location for us was ideal to discover Christleton and use Cheshire Cat canal side walks and drinks/food.
Bar at the Rowton Poplar was a welcoming place at end of night but closes at 10pm. Very pleased with this hotel and staff. Exceptionally clean.

Cons:

Nothing really. Close to Road so early hours traffic can be above normal but my room was on near side so within 10m. Rooms further away would be better but no complaints at all because of actual value and good standard of the room and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

As it was an emergency, it was okay for 1 night.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable

Cons:

Part of the ceiling was very low, heating in the bathroom didn't work, the tables and a mirror on the wall was far too low, the breakfast menu was a bit too expensive and didn't provide a full English.

A disappointing stay. We didn't expect to have to worry about injury when getting up out of bed.
Pros:

Room was clean

Cons:

The sloping ceiling on one side of the room had the potential to be dangerous with the risk of banging your head when getting out of bed. There was no bedside light on one side and no bedside table on the other side . Only really room for a single bed. No wardrobe or cupboard space.
The shower was difficult to control the flow and the temperature and the flimsy curtain was difficult pull round and when you did made the showering area very small.

Hope it keeps going.
Pros:

Room ideal, and handy to let dogs out. Good view of the garden and fields beyond. Bed comfortable. Room mostly clean. Ample storage for clothes. Breakfast, though unfortunately no cooked breakfast available, was mire than sufficient. No evening meals, but they offered to heat up any food we bought, or said we could get food delivered. Ideal location. Close to city, but also v v v close to the beautiful Christleton.

Thank you.
