My plans changed and I got to experience the Indian Cuisine. I can say it was the best curry I’d had in ages.
I found the room perfectly adequate (once I’d located the light switch for the bathroom!) the door to the car park was novel and useful.
Thank you for a comfortable stay and the excellent food!

The surrounding countryside is beautiful with some great views. Overall, well worth the money and I'd happily stay again. Highly recommended

Overall, a good value for money stay. Slept very well in a very comfortable bed, duvet and room at the right temperature. Overall room was very clean although the carpet was rather grubby. What really let the stay down was a very small sink which is not really fit for purpose in a hotel room - only suitable for washing hands, completely impractical for washing the face etc.

The hotel is okay, but the stairs are very steep and the room we were allocated, was on the top floor, so two flights of steep stairs. By the time we go to the top, we were both struggling.
The site advertises (and I just checked again) that it has a bar, lounge and restaurant. In fact they do not have a licence, but do not charge, if you want to bring in your own drink and they do supply glasses and ice buckets. The restaurant has been redone as an Indian restaurant. It is totally Indian cuisine, unlike most Indian restaurants, in the UK, it does not offer an European alternative, for those who are not keen on India.
The bathroom door did not fit well and needed a bolt lock to close it. It did not look good. The radiator was turned down, when we arrived and the room was very cold. We turned it up and eventually, it did warm the room. However the next morning, the heating did not come on at all, which made getting washed and dressing, quite stressful. The room could have been organised better, so that the tea tray, was not right beside the bed. It meant there was not a bedside table or lamp, on that side. So getting up through the night, was quite tricky.
Whenever a heavy vehicle, went past on the road, the bedroom floor and the bed vibrated. In the early hours of the morning (after 3 a.m.) the bed would vibrate, making it harder to get bac to sleep.

They give you free earplugs in each room, and in fairness it was a little noisey, though i managed a good night's sleep without them. The hotel shook slightly when heavy vehicles were passing.

It is what it says on the tin; a pub with rooms.
Food was delicious (I had the chicken tagliatelle and home made sticky toffee pudding for dinner) and a great choice for brekky .... smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with ANCHOVY muffin was yummy.... but for a 'pub' to then charge an extra £3+ for a tea bag in hot water just left me feeling a bit miffed! The white wine (NZ Marlborough, £8.20 large glass) with the evening meal wasn't very chilled either and tasted much more like a Chardonnay). If you're going to offer these items, I think it's vital to get them right. Just my opinion of course

Ok for 1 night

We stayed 2 nights in annex.
Bed VERY firm, pillows hard or lumpy
So didnt sleep well. But others may like this,
Constant fan whirring from kitchen below.
Carwash next door and garage ,some guy there 11pm With screaming kids! I know this isnt the hotels fault, but be aware.
The property has very heavy fire doors which inconsiderate neighbours on sunday kept slamming at night while going out for cigarette i assume . Again not the hotels fault but it adds up to not sleeping.
Also the room itself was VERY bland, marks everywhere, ripped headboard,scuffs,big bathroom with the smallest basin so awkward for washing face, or when my partner tried to shave, cant fill kettle up or bottle to replenish . Nowhere to put toiletries, which again lots of space for nice shelves or unit. Shower head needs changing. Silicon around tray needs replacing.
Its lots of little things.
Also the garden,huts need some loving. It could be so much nicer its a shame
Parking was plentiful, food was nice in restaurant. Didnt have brekky tho.
Staff were nice . 15min walk to the canal
( but along a very busy main road!)

I did not stay at the Rowton Poplars Hotel, after becoming ill, and needing to return home. In spite of repeated, diligent efforts to communicate with Expedia via email, phone, live chat, and text, none resulted in my ability to communicate with them, and cancel my stay in a timely way, so I paid for three nights at a fairly expensive hotel for nothing. I really do not understand how Expedia cannot make at least one form of communicating with them work, since guests are traveling 24/7, and may have difficulties with lodging, rental cars, and other aspects of their trips. Expedia was NOT there for me in ANY way, when I needed them. No links on their website to cancel my stay were functional.

Hotel has a very good location for proximity to Chester, Liverpool & Cheshire Oaks. The hotel is beside a very busy road day & night and this makes the room we stayed in very noisy.

Budget pub with rooms

Pub with rooms so don’t expect too much
Nice room with comfy bed and good shower but noticeable road noise from a busy main road
Dinner ok but expensive

Very small & noisy room with dwarf walls.

It’s an annex with dwarf walls on one side. You can’t use the toilet without banging your head against it. Windows are drafty and don’t isolate the noise from the main road. Room looked bigger in picture but is actually very small. Disappointing experience!

Great stay away from the hustle of the city

Very friendly, clean and well run place. Perfect for our trip to Chester Racecourse. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend.

Worth the food not the sleep

Great location, friendly staff. Great breakfast and latte!
Bad: main light didn’t work, milk was out of date in the tea stand, no vanity, when the sink is on the water goes up into the bath tub

Booked it again!

I received a warm welcome on arrival. The place is easy to find and has plenty of parking. Food is delicious! The stairs are a little steep, but I do have a sore foot at time of writing, so any stairs are a nuisance right now. I already booked my next stay!

Our family of ten stayed for three nights in five separate rooms. Overall the rooms were clean and comfortable but small. In particular, one couple stayed in a room on the main floor off of the bar and that room was super small. There is quite a bit of road noise but it quiets down during the night. The staff was super friendly. And the restaurant offered a variety of tasty options. The hotel is located just a few miles outside of town and has lots of parking.

Very confused by the number of 5* reviews as this wasn’t our experience at all. We wouldn’t stay again and certainly wouldn’t recommend to anyone else. Two biggest issues were that the hotel is right next to a main road that is incredibly noisy. The hotel provides earplugs, but if you’re at a stage of providing earplugs then really this should be stated in the hotel descriptions as light sleepers have no chance, not to mention the entire bed shaking as larger trucks go past. Second major issue is that our room was 2/3s half height due to slanted ceilings. As two tall people this was really inconvenient and proved a nightmare when it came to the shower which is tiny due to the restricted full height space. Windows also cannot be opened as clearly the hotel is very close to a farm or treatment plant, so the smell is awful. Outside of these issues, there were other minor ones such a no space to place bags or toiletries, plug sockets being totally inaccessible and poor quality toilet paper. Really this hotel should have its main issues cited on the website, though, as if you’re tall/have a bad back/are a light sleeper then this place just isn’t for you.

Room was great, very clean, a little quirky regarding headspace, but loved the fan effect on the towels and toilet paper!
Only downside was the vibration from lorries passing.
Staff were freindly and the pub busy.

Quiet comfort

Top rated cleanliness, outstanding services, responsive to requests, quiet and comfortable. Easy check in , check out process, adjoining pub has excellent food. Option to not have beds made or towels changed daily would have been good, great value.

I stayed two nights in this hotel with my husband and my husbands relatives. It was mostly a good stay.

The room was clean and a good size for two people and had an en suite bathroom. It was not too far from where we were visiting which was a plus point.
Being of a certain age and not very mobile we were glad that we only had one flight of stairs to climb to the room.

The food we had was good but the service was a bit slow at breakfast time. To improve the comfort of the room it would have been nice to have had a chair to sit on for reading and/or using the computer.

The hotel was spotless and very clean, the amenities were great and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The area was nice and the free parking was a great addition. The only thing that made me upset was the noise from the room above. The noise woke me up early morning and I could hear each and every sound which was very irritating and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I stayed 2 days but it was the same, the squeaking of the door stopped after the first day when I advised the reception staff to oil it but the noise from the floorboards were too much. If you’re a light sleeper like me then you need to think otherwise all good!

The hotel was very clean good standards. All the staff very friendly and gave excellent service. We didn't eat evening meal but they looked very nice but we did eat the breakfast which was excellent and there was to much for me too eat. They used high standards of product and everything looked home cooked well done will definitely be returning when back in the area.
