We had a lovely time, just a few things that slightly dampened the experience.
Need black out blinds in the family room as the light was streaming through until late and with the heat as well the children couldn't get to sleep until it went dark.
The gastro pub food l would give a miss in future, very bland, dry and of poor quality but high prices.
We would 100% come back though.

We were in room 3 with a window that went straight into the restaurant, no natural light or privacy. The music was playing right outside our window until 11pm. We did complain and got told well it was supposed to go off at 10pm. Not a very good relaxing stay as planned.

A lovely property with tasteful decor. All the staff are very pleasant. Palm Court restaurant was really nice, and the gym and swim facilities were good. The Sunday carvery is excellent and complimentary products in the room a nice touch.

Not a lot of seating in the bar if wanting drinks only, most of it is for eating. Similarly, car parking is at a premium with a wedding on. Changing rooms are quite small, and could do with a spin machine for drying trunks (many have these now).

We stayed in a quadruple room, which had a large double bed and two pull out beds, not very comfortable at all.

Lovely spacious room, but the window opened / looked out into the Palm restaurant, so no fresh air.

Spa / pool and sauna area very nice.

Food in The Nelson pub was lovely.

Nice breakfast in the morning. Lovely lady who greeted us asked about allergies and everything was labelled.

About 25 mins drive to get into Chester gir shopping.

Lovely Hotel with very helpful staff.
Unfortunately we had a night of no sleep. I informed the hotel that I was celebrating my Mother's 80th Birthday. I paid for a deluxe quadruple room for myself my Mother and my Daughter. The room was pleasant but smaller than images on the website and I feel overpriced for the size of room.Also we were kept awake by wedding guests right outside our window making lots of noise and swearing until the early hours! The hotel jnow my mum was celebratin her 80th Birthday and still put is in a room backing onto the car park and Grosvenor suite were roudy wedding gusts were outside arguing amd swearing and being very noisy. I informed the staff the next morning and they said sorry. The staff were lovely but didn't seem to be any managers around to escalate any issues. Lively hotel but very disappointed in the amount i paid for smaller room with Unfortunately no sleep due to other guests.

Beautiful place in a lovely part of the world. Lakes and ponds with gardens. On-site spa with its own peace gardens with loungers (and waterfall!). The spa is worth a visit alone.

Nice room, nice catering (we were at a wedding held onsite). Room had great air on/heating and good brew facilities. The shower and bath was epic for the price we paid. Will absolutely return.

Only downside was checking in. I was not acknowledged, so began checking myself in electronically- then I was acknowledged - when I was already half way through. There were no other customers around.

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary & also booked spa treatments which were amazing! The meal was delicious & we sat near Andy the pianist who was fantastic & really made our night special. The room was gorgeous & the bed was really comfortable.
The only disappointment was the breakfast buffet, most of the hot food was overdone as it had been sat there too long & needed a top up but even after half an hour, there was no top up. Then when we had finished breakfast, we noticed that a lot of people were having food made to order, eg omelettes, eggs Benedict etc… we did not have a menu on our table & none of the waiters informed us of this?…

Breakfast was good as was service in hotel. However I wouldn't recommend if going with children/babies. Limited facilities (no fridge in room, limited storage space for unpacking) and pool depth is 1.1m only in small section of pool with limited usage times for children, rest is 1.4m. Location itself was decent -15/20 mins from main centre. Didn't eat lunch/dinner at hotel so can't recommend. Hotel garden was nice. Free parking on site.

The spa changing rooms could do with a revamp - they are small, .cold and they don't smell great. More loungers around the pool area would add to the experience too. The corridor leading to the toilets off reception smells terribly and it was the same last time we stayed too,
Other than that, the hotel is lovely, the food in the Palm Court is great and the breakfast great too. The treatments in the spa were also amazing. Bathrooms great in the rooms too.

Food was decent, nothing particularly fancy. Breakfast was ok.
It’s a stunning venue so very popular for weddings… the bass from wedding receptions reverberated though the room until midnight ish. Our room also backed on to an office, which was incredibly busy as the door banged shut almost constantly one day.

Shame as it’s actually a fairly nice hotel, decor is a bit chintzy, trying so hard it’s actually a little tacky

Most of the staff were great but let down but a sulky moody and unhelpful receptionist on check in who didn’t seem to really care that they had made a mistake with the booking just shrugged her shoulders and said “what you booked isn’t available now so you will just have to make do with what we have” no apologies just take it or leave it attitude

Room was grubby, we had to move furniture to accommodate family and it was filthy behind / under with debris from previous guests food etc

Swimming pool area also grubby and dated

First impression set the tone so we only ate breakfast at hotel

Wouldn’t stay again

Our expectations were by far exceeded with this lovely hotel. All the staff that we came across was helpful, friendly and so efficient. We spent the afternoon on Saturday in the Nelson and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The receptionist was welcoming and warm and very helpful with queries and organising a little suprise in our room. The room was clean, well equipped and very nicely presented. The bed was bit on the hard side but this is probably down to personal preference more than anything else. We had a meal in the palm court which was so beautiful and felt very special with the pianist playing and singing.
The pool and changing rooms could do with a bit of updating but it was clean and warm so would happily use again.
On the whole this place is an absolute gem where you are made to feel special, would happily stay again.
