Reception staff inattentive seemed most interested in selling upgrades and extras
We had an upgraded garden view further upgraded to corner garden view which looked nothing like the photo- quite small with very cramped bathroom also dated
Evening food menu was very limited notably lacking local food. Just ok if you want Indian food.
However the breakfast was very good.
The hotel should make more of the amazing extensive gardens

Our apartment room was one of the best rooms we have stayed. Easily 1500 square feet, and a terrific bathroom with large bath and shower.
The staff in the bar area were all very young and inexperienced. They had to ask what makes up an Aperol Spritz and it looked like the bar tender had never opened a bottle of wine before: once he had eventually located thr requested bottle. But as they were very friendly, it really wasn't an issue for us. If you are looking for a larger room near Chester, you need to consider this hotel.

The staff were friendly but very green, during an evening meal and breakfast we had to ask several times for things like water, coffee and toast and some of these things didn't arrive at all. They are pleasant but need more training on staying on top of orders and clearing the tables.

Breakfast is strange with you being charged £17 to have access to the continental and light breakfast menu, and then you having to pay an extra £5 for more premium items like a full English. Why not just say it will be £22 to begin with.

There was an event on at the hotel which lasted until midnight. We were told we couldn't move to another room and nothing but an apology was provided. Things like this need to be communicated at the point of booking or at least the point of check-in. The hotel should have forseen this and moved non event guests to the rooms furthest away from the ballroom.

The spa was nice but overcrowded. More loungers and chairs are needed for when the spa hits it's peak use hours.

Cold food at dinner and when the replacement came the fish was actually raw in the middle. Even though I ate none of it and the polite server told me that it would be deducted from my bill, it wasn't and the receptionist had to go and ask permission to take it off the bill on checkout. It was embarrassing. We ate out of the hotel the following night.
Also the rules have changed so pool entry is prohibited once you have checked out of your room.
All staff used to be wonderful and some remain in this vain but some really cannot be bothered and one was rude.
The place remains very clean and is a credit to housekeeping team.
A disappointing stay after previous good experiences.

Cold welcome. Disgusting bathroom - I ran a bath and it was yellow and scummy. I had to find a cleaner to help me out, because the phone in the room didn’t work (however, the cleaner was lovely). Filthy windows. Tatty bed covering. All in all, it feels like a faded glory kind of situation. In the end I drove home rather than sleep there. The place just has a weird vibe.

Breakfast was excellent.
The room was spacious and nicely decorated, but needs some updating. Thete was plenty of space for more drawers for clothes, a table/ rack for a suitcase , and a small table between the chairs would have been useful.
The pool and spa area was excellent.
The gardens are lovely.
The restaurant was heavily influenced by spice - too much for older taste buds, but the chef was accommodating!

Had a fantastic stay. Staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. Facilities were wonderful. Only issue was that my room was very cold by the time I returned in the evening. I noticed an electric radiator but didn't think I would need to turn it on - a little heads up at reception to turn it on low for a few hours would have been great.

Breakfast was good and enough choice ..service was good. The room I had did have a drawer that was stuck, window needed the edges cleaning as when I wiped the condensation off the glass the “ putty” was dirty. But it was a lovely size and I loved the configuration of it. The guy on the bar in the evening was great. He made us welcome and laugh. Couldn’t do enough for me.

Tired, dated, cold. First suite radiator not working, changed room, not much better. Single glazed metal framed windows, heating turned off, had to get into bed to keep warm. Only given a broken fan heater to keep warm & advised to keep it on overnight if cold - serious health & safety issue!
Light switches not working, bathroom fan not working.
Bedside lamp broken, replacement had shade balanced on base, not connected. Bathroom very grubby, shower attachment missing from bath. Unable to stream content to t.v. Breakfast selection very poor, staff untrained, portions very frugal.
Beautiful gardens.
Spa o.k.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The spa facilities are nice and clean although pool is a little cold. We stayed in one of the apartments which are nicely furnished but the bed consisted of two singles which was noticeable and not the most comfortable if you find yourself in the middle of the bed

We Stayed at the weekend, on check in we wasn’t given the garden view room that we paid for.
They had a private party at the hotel, not a problem we don’t mind music.
But when other guests arrive back to their room at 1am shouting down the corridors and you can hear every word they say because the walls are paper thin! Then yes I have a problem. We hardly slept and had a long journey home the next day.
At Breakfast I ordered a bacon cob when it arrived I had a sausage cob and the waitress made a scene instead of just excepting she made a mistake, so I just excepted the sausage even though it wasnt what I ordered.
Overall I wouldn’t stay here again.

Only recommend one night stay. Poor.

Our experience was far from satisfactory at Rowton Hall and Spa. The service was very poor, on our first morning for breakfast we were pointed to a table and told ,\"Sit there\".
The reception staff seemed to be the only team who really cared and tried to please the customers.
The wall papers were poorly hung and peeling off. The whole building was just in need of some TLC.
How it has obtained 4 stars is beyond me.
The food in the restaurant was miniscule.
It would do at a push for one night stays. Unfortunately we were there for ten and were glad when we left.

One night stay following a day at Chester Zoo. Relaxing to have a swim/sauna after walking round for several hours. Good bar food -enjoyed my steak ciabatta which arrived speedily despite a school prom being held in another room at the time, staff remained pleasant and efficient throughout. Breakfast was excellent, nice continental and light breakfast choices and provided in a light airy room. The gardens are always beautiful to stroll round (this was not my first stay) ,particuarly breathtaking at this time of year when in full bloom..

• I checked in and the room wasn’t ready.
• There was a birthday that took up most of the hotel, they were loud in the garden outside my room. I called reception at 22:30 to ask if they could manage it at all. They said it was finishing soon. It finished finally two hours later at around 0:30.
• checking out they tried to charge me for the room for a second time. They also added two breakfasts to my bill that I hadn’t had and disputed this with me when I tried to get them taken off the bill.

Very poor think twice about booking!!!!

Booked for a romantic stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

This should be a 4* hotel at best i would stay at best 2*.

This is due to the very poor condition of the room (room 109).

I paid £200 for a Master Suite for 1 night stay.

While the room looked nice at a 1st glance there were some major issues,
Damp on the walls,
Mould in the bathroom around the shower,
Damaged shower screen and shower,
Mould above the window in the bedroom,
Broken window openings,
Cracked window,
Stained carpets,
Several mirror units which have been damaged and either taped over or chipped,
Bed this has been repaired in 2 different areas (opposite corners) and have not been repaired correctly meaning the bed had a diagonal twist in it

YOU DONT EXPECT THIS FROM A 4* HOTEL.

Before I arrived i was asked if I wanted to upgrade my room and name my price for the upgrade.

The following morning at checkout I went to settle my account and also asked when is the room due to be refurbished and the receptionist was aware of most of the problems

What concerns me is they knew about the problems and still put me in there.

The breakfast is extremely over priced and you have to ask for things such as butter for the toast, where are the pastries, additional apple juice as it was empty.

I waited in bar area for an hour wanting a coffee while my mife was having a massage (something she did enjoy) and when she returned i had to go to the reception to ask is anyone serving drinks, another 30mins

the stay but if you want a full English it is an extra £5 never have I seen this before overall poor experience and

Characterful hotel with lovely spa & gym facilities. The hotel is a bit dated and in need of some referbishments. Our original assigned room was not made up when we got up to it and had to go back to reception. This seemed like a complete shock to the person on reception but the dirty linens were still on the floor, the un-made duvet and pillows were thrown on the bed and there was rubbish and used items from the tea set about the room. After the receptionist made a few quick phone calls we were assigned a new room. The new room was large with a huge bathroom including a shower and separate bathtub. There were signs of wear about the room, marks on the walls, etc.... but we had a lovely stay and it was comfortable.

It’s in a gorgeous hamlet out of town. The park and ride is handy but if you want to use public transport it’s not so handy. Receptionist says it was a 10 minute walk to the park and ride where you can hop on a cheap bus into Chester, but it’s a much longer trek than that, even for fast walkers like us.
Bed is hard and uncomfortable.
It’s an old place so the plumbing is noisy.
Room overlooks a derelict space, which is a shame.

Honest Review

We stayed for a romantic break away, sadly the hotel is undergoing renovation work, and the room we were given was very outdated and if we'd known ahead we wouldn't have booked.
We found the building quite cold, we did however go in Feb so to be expected.
The pool was ok, again quite cold,
We reported all of this to the hotel, and in fairness they didn't give us a discount,
The hotel will be great when all its rooms look like the pictures.

It was nice don't get me wrong but it did appear to be a bit run down aesthetically. Stains on carpets and walls and I think the place just needs a bit of TLC to be honest. I don't think it would win 4 in a bed if you get me haha the room I did notice quite a few bits that could of been cleaned a bit better and the tv didn't connect to the internet properly so we couldn't watch things without hotspotting my phone to it which was a tad annoying. but overall we enjoyed it and the bed was super comfy!

DO NOT STAY HERE

I’m not happy at all with my stay staff we’re very arrogant not approachable at all. I booked a dog friendly room and made sure staff knew this before arrival when I got to my room there were no dog bowls for water or food for my dog. I had to go to reception to ask for a menu as there was none in the room staff sort of brushed me off handed me a menu and ended the conversation. There was no prices on the menu and only set food on there no other options at all! Room was very dirty carpet stains chipped paint everywhere. When arriving I was told my room was not ready yet I then waited a further 20 minutes and went back to reception and room still was not ready! There was lots of rubbish under the bed HEATING TURNED OFF AND GIVEN A BLOW HEATER! I was not happy at all with my stay and am hoping to get a refund as I paid nearly £200 for ONE NIGHT to be looked at asif I was some sort of 3rd class!

OK for a few nights.

The 2 nights at the hotel were pleasant, hotel was down a lane and a bit awkward to get to but nice and quiet. Staff were great but let down by the shortcomings of the computer system in the restaurant and bar.
The room we had was ok, bathroom was very small and tired. The Bedroom was ok, could do with cleaning the window frames more regularly though. Otherwise bed was comfortable enough.
Didnt use the Spa or pool.

Extremely disappointed stay. Me and my wife booked to stay to celebrate her birthday and was planning on having dinner but then to be told at check in that the restaurant was fully booked with events. This should have been communicated better before we booked and information on the website or via hotels.com. Check in staff didn’t care and were rude! Told us to have bar food room service! Ended up with an uber eats! Not happy and will not be staying there again! Service at breakfast was slow and food cold given the cook food fresh and charge an over £20!

The staff were lovely and very friendly, but our room was tired and in need of complete refurb. The paint in bathroom was cracked and peeling. The fold back shower screen at the base was filthy. The curtains in the bedroom looked like they’d been washed and not pressed! Half a dozen hooks were not in the rings and had to stand on a chair and put them in so we could close them! There were no robes/slippers in the room, which meant if you wanted to use spa, you had to go fully dressed! I’ve never been to a hotel spa and have to pay a charge to ‘hire’!!

We loved our stay at Rowton hall, our room was a master suite with a separate lounge which was great to relax before bed. Breakfast was good plenty to choose from, we had 1 dinner which was very good again plenty of choice.
The locations is secluded but only 10 mins from chester centre very handy for shopping or site seeing. We would stay again.

Parking was nightmare. Had to park in the dark, muddy, wet car park and walk to the reception getting covered in mud. Went for a drink in the bar and the girl who didnt speak very good english had the personality of a dead fish. Then when we tried to sleep the room was boiling and the windows didn't open so had an awful nights sleep. Breakfast took ages and we had to watch a group be sat, served and fed before ours turned up. Won't be back but it wasn't a bad hotel.

The hotel was very clean and the room was lovely. The extras I had paid for were in place which was appreciated and my request for a garden room with a door also appreciated. Our disappointments were in the bar, the beer on tap is not cold at all. This was pointed out to the staff evening one but was still the same evening two. You don't sell crisps either which I thought was strange. Ordered room service by mobile as phone didn't work in the room, waited 40 mins then my partner went to ask, order wasn't on. This was rectified and came soon after but was seriously over fried. We were not charged room service charge. Breakfast service was extremely slow and Sunday took nearly an hour. Ratio of staff seemed ample to deal with the amount of covers just lack of organisation. We were not acknowledged for some time. Buffet was very slow to be replenished and took several guests to ask repeatedly. Saturday order was taken and took 25 mins for coffee and toast plus one ask. Really not good. Fire alarm went off three times, twice in the night and once at 9.30am
I am not complaining about this as at least it works, perhaps the fact everyone was tired because of this, breakfast could have been more on point and up to scratch.
Spa area was lovely again spotless and the staff lovely. Miss opportunity to upsell to us, no idea if any availability for treatments during our stay but we could have been pursuaded if it was offered. Last min avaliablity cards under the bedroom door works a treat

3 star hotel in reality - very tired

Had 2 superior rooms both of which were very tired with marks etc and not 4* in standard, no a/c either. The corridors were also showing signs of being worn out. Spa area was the same and cushions all marked. Breakfast needs to be pre-booked for time slots and complimentary free hot options are limited. £5 supplement charge for a full English. Venue also hosts a lot of wedding so be prepared for that. Overall I’d say the hotel is 3 star in reality
