Me and my husband stayed here on a good value deal for 2 nights. It was very dark when we got there and we initially struggled to find it. However, once we stepped in the hotel we found it lovely and certainly of a high standard. We ate in the restaurant one night. The food was superb and we felt... More

Stayed here for 2 nighst with work. Loved my room and the surrounding landscape/golf course, but was disappointed with speed of service in the restaurant, even when it was very quiet ;and the music... best suited for a crematorium frankly! Spa and pool facilities were nice and clean. Internet connection a bit slow. More

We have stayed here 3 times and had really nice meals in the Restauarnt. Rooms are very spacious and large beds. Beautiful grounds to go walking just beware of the Golfer's though.. The Leisure Club which I am member of is very good but the hotel could consider a upgrade of the wet facilties . I dont think enough attention... More

It is the third year running that we have stayed at this hotel and once again we had an enjoyable and relaxing weekend in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. The hotel is modern and comfortable with large rooms (even standard rooms) with the biggest beds I have ever slept in, and more importantly the rooms are clean and well... More

Stayed with friends for a golfing weekend. The only let down was the notable absence of barstaff which resulted in a number of guests often waiting some time for service. Waiters in the restaurant taking drink orders bizarrely had to traipse across the reception area to the bar and return. Very time consuming and inefficient. The hotel itself ticked all... More

We stayed as a family with another family of friends between christmas and new year. We had DBB deal for 3 nights and this was pretty good value. The room was large and spacious, one up from the standard double/family and very clean so all good there. The food in the restaurant for our evening meals was very good, the... More

I visited the Spa with my sister in January. We were not guests at the hotel but after staying previously for a work event I wanted to take my sister as a little treat. I booked in advance and arranged for some treatments as well as paying to use the pool, steam etc.. all in all we paid £100 between... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here in November 2011. It was a 1 night stay on a room only deal. The price paid was fantastic. The location and views around the golf course were impressive. Approx 20 mins to both Cheshire Oaks and Chester city centre. The roads were very dark at night, due to the remote location so if... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on a Macdonald special offer. Everything was 1st class from the moment we arrived. Check in was friendly and efficient. The room was lovely with one of the largest beds we've ever slept in. It was comfortable too and the large bathroom with both bath and seperate shower was stunning. We had half board... More
