As soon as my husband and I cast our eyes on Hillbark we knew this was the venue were we wanted to spend the most special day of our lives:) It simply blew us away~ from the magnificent building, beautiful surroundings to the wonderful gallery walk.
The journey began meeting our wedding planner~ the amazing Rebecca :) Rebecca co-ordinated our wedding day perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Rebecca's welcoming, friendly and efficient manner was like a breath of fresh air and it wouldnt have been the same without her.
High regard must also be focused towards all the staff at hillbark who made our day so special. On the numerous occasions we we visited hillbark~ meal tasting, rehearsals etc.. everyone was always so welcoming, and made us feel extremely special every time :)
The food was out of this world... could not be faultered. Our guests still comment about the perfect fillet beef and fantastic meringue swans!
Our wedding really was the most special day~ and it was all thanks to Rebecca and the fantastic staff who make Hillbark so special. It lived up to our high expectations and more~ We would do it again in a heartbeat.
We would recommend a visit to Hillbark for all~ whether it be for a coffee, dinner, special event etc... It is not to be missed.
We can't wait to return :) xxxxx

We went to Hillbark Hotel for New Years Eve. We were all in the big hall when we first arrived and there was complimentry champagne and canapes. After an hour when most people had arrived we were herded through to the marquee which was decorated beautifully and had some sofas in the corner and several round tables seating 8 or possiblly 10. By the time our party of 6 got through to the marquee all the tables had people sitting on them and there was none with 6 seats left so we could sit together so we pulled two tall tables together with bar stools and we were ok. Then we were served bacon batch with cones of chips, all very nice but no napkins or plates so we were left with greasy fingers trying not to get grease on our best clothes. At midnight there was a beautiful fireworks display to music. When we returned to our table a group had moved onto it. Apparently Hillbark had not provided enough tables or seats for all the numbers and some people had been left to stand. This group obviously thought that they would take our seats and we wouldn't take them on as we are all in our 50's. WRONG!
After the fireworks a hog roast buffet was served but by then most of us felt it was too late to eat any more so although it looked very nice we didn't try it.
Some very young children were wandering around, one maybe as young as 2, and it really wasn't appropriate with people getting drunk and dropping wine glasses on the dance floor. I couldn't relax for worrying about these kids falling on broken glass.
The hotel itself is beautiful as are the grounds and gardens. The staff were all pleasant and the food looked nice but I wouldn't go back for a New Years Eve.

I would highly recommend Hillbark Hotel for its service, attention to detail, food and accommodation. I stayed recently and the bedrooms were amazing.
Staff are very attentive, and the food in the bar and grill is amazing.
there's also a Spa there for a treatment.

I also hold a function even in the marquee and couldn't fault the help and support form im and all the staff at Hillbark. I would definitely recommend this hotel for weddings, functions, conferences, or even just for a great weekend away close to Liverpool and Chester.

We arranged our wedding for 30/9 at Hillbark. We had the most amazing day being lucky with the freakishly nice weather and getting married outside in the beautiful gardens.
Rebecca who worked for the hotel was amazing helping organise every aspect of the day / night.
The food was excellent and all our guests seemed to have an amazing time from the ceremony and meal in the afternoon to the party in the marquee in the evening.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hillbark for an occasion to anybody....
