"Calm, relaxed, friendly"
I'd like to say bad things about our stay, just to make sure there is a place for us next time we visit. But that would be unfair to excellent staff and their warm hospitality. We had a delightful evening meal in lovely surrounding followed by drinks round an open fire.Breakfast was equally good as was the service. Bedroom was clean fresh and well presented if a little small,"watch your knees on bedside table as you enter" Ensuit a little cramped. 2 flights of stairs narrow and steepish Read less

"Could not be faulted"
We were delighted that the room (Aldford, large double) was exactly as described on the website and proved excellent value. The decor was modern yet cosy, and the room was clean and well-stocked (including straighteners and hairdryer). The bathroom was very large, with a good-sized bath. All staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly, the pub downstairs was lovely (log fire, real ale), and the food first-rate. We found the location convenient for Chester Zoo and rafting in Llangollen. Read less
Likes:
Pleasant decor, great food, friendly people, log fire. As it was Valentine's weekend our bed had been scattered with fake rose petals, which was a nice thought.

Function room available, FREE!
It has recently been extensively refurbished throughout with both the pub and restaurant restored to their former glory. The contempary but modern design creates a welcoming, homely feeling and is enhanced by the warmth from the open log fire and friendly, helpful staff. Sit where you can feel the warmth from the log fire, lean back and relax into one of our comfy settees, let the cares of the day wash away while we serve you hand pulled cask ales and fine wine.

Take your time to consider the menu of freshly prepared, locally sourced food. If you become too relaxed our extensive refurbishment includes the addition of 5 luxurious boutique style bedrooms, all en-suite with plasma tv and wi-fi. These are proving extremely popular as our location provides superb access to Chester & Wrexham for both tourists and business travellers.

Chester offers many many opportunities for the tourist wishing to explore, including it's city walls, Cathedral and rich history, including the oldest racecourse in the UK. Whilst those looking to indulge in a little retail therapy would go a long way to find the quality and range of retail shops found in the unique galleried shops of Chester City Centre or indeed the more recent Cheshire Oaks development which provides a massive choice of designer goods with significant discounts.

When Chester has exhausted you the many attractions of Wrexham & North Wales can be found by crossing the Old Dee Bridge at the bottom of Farndon High Street. The bridge which is centuries old takes you across the River Dee and over the border to beautiful North Wales with all it's attractions.

Finally we mustn't forget our super function room which is available free of charge for parties, celebrations, meetings and conferences and is the venue for our popular events calendar including Live music, murder mystery and sports nights.
