'Gand style' away from it all hotel and spa yet close to fast transport links and the city Chester.
Pros:

Nicely located in a quiet country village location yet only minutes away from motorway connections.
An elegant stylish hotel in the grand manor style.
Spacious communal areas and everywhere clean and calm.

Cons:

The approach road was single track in places so could have been tricky for big vehicles but nothing to complain about - all good.

The rooms were very tired
Pros:

Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

The rooms were very tired, Pillows and bedding were old and tired and most uncomfortable for which there is no excuse nowadays especially for the price of the rooms.

Weekend break
Pros:

Lovely facilities
Nice setting

Cons:

We came for an anniversary celebration. There was a wedding being hosted at the same time which looked beautiful. However if you are not attending an event that is being hosted there, you have limited options of spaces to go to avoid being part of that event. We ended up cancelling our meal in the restaurant to go into chester for a more relaxed evening. We originally came to enjoy the spa and restaurant. The Spa was also out of use for some of the time we were there. This is not the hotel staff's fault as these things happen but it did mean our relaxing weekend did not go as planned.

Was nice but I don’t think I’d go again.
Pros:

The room was nice as was most of the hotel and grounds.

Cons:

Our room was quite noisy due to a wedding and because it was hot we had the windows open and were woken by the emptying of glass bottles into bins and the wedding that was on. I paid with what I thought was breakfast included but hot breakfasts you have to pay for. The pool was also broken so when we finally got in it was cold however, I do understand this was out of their control.

Food was amazing, staff was friendly but could do with a little update.
Pros:

Food was amazing and staff very friendly

Cons:

Bed was not comfortable as it was two beds put together so there was a sag in the middle. There was a wedding function on so was fairly noisy with a gathering of people outside our window talking and laughing till 12pm so was hard to sleep as window needed to be open to keep the room cool. TV could be more updated, toilet seat could do with being replaced as worn and WC would benefit from a walk in shower instead of a bath and overhead shower. Spa and swimming pool was closed.
