“Nice country location”

This hotel is not far from Chester, and just outside of Tarporley. It is in a very quiet and pleasant setting. The rooms are large and well maintained, and service is quite good. We stayed two nights and enjoyed it a great deal.

“Lovely surroundings”

Stayed here on a Sunday night whist attending a wedding at Peckforton Castle. Very quiet. judging by breakfast. English breakfast very good but why did people at 4 different tables all need to ask for sauce? Room nice and spacious but spoilt by having a double bed a king size would have fitted in very easily. Lovely countryside around and about. Pheasant's Inn had fabulous views food and beer at lunch time.

“One night stopover”

Staff friendly. We asked for an iron, chased it up twice and it never arrived. Good offers on 2-3 course dinner, but they'd run out of horseradish sauce for the beef dinner. Our room was not very warm but the room was more than satisfactory otherwise. Great looking hotel. Perhaps a few more staff on would have helped rather than trying to 'search' one out.

“Hard to justify the money”

We stayed for 2 nights whilst on business at the race circuit. We had phoned ahead to advise of our late arrival (after midnight) and managed to get into the hotel although there was a lack of staff to greet us....had to then ring the hotel to arouse some interest. The food was lovely and our waiter was very helpful, although our meal was ruined by the pianist opposite us who was doing a sterling job but was a little too close for comfort. Upon asking to be moved we were advised we could not. Our hurried checkout in the morning was greeted by a surly receptionist. I objected to the amount of money this hotel cost. As a place to eat it was lovely...but to stay...I'd think again.

“Not impressed”

Bedroom was cold. Despite going to reception twice (phone not working),the heating was not turned on. One pillow each is not comfortable. The bathroom was warm but smelt of drains; the lavatory leaked. The food in the restaurant was interesting but meagre, an expensive prawn starter consisted of just two prawns! Coffee on arrival was extremely unpleasant. Breakfast was chaotic. Buffet area too small, people waiting for replenishments with cold plates guaranteed general dissatisfaction. Overall very disappointing.
