great property, easy location for getting out and about. 20 mins from Chester and shopping outlets, easy access to liverpool and Chester Zoo. They had great staff and great food (you've got to try the fish and chips). Parking was a challenge as the hotel is set between the canal locks, but the view was pretty and we fed the swans daily. We even saw the canal barges being worked.

Great family hotel by Cheshire Oaks

Very good hotel, super helpful staff, spacious room with 2 king beds. Good breakfast, decent pool. A little tired in places, pool changing areas need a bit of TLC as does bathroom, but all in all great value.

Property and room were clean. Parking is difficult. The beds were awful, it was like being on a bouncy castle, this is an issue were have come accross with holiday inns previously. Breakfast was ok, again would be better if you could get your own hot drinks as staff were busy with each other.

Dinner?….. not for me.

Bed and room all very good. Disappointed with the dinner. Half the menu wasn’t available. What I did have wasn’t that great either. Portions were small. Ice cream had clearly defrosted and then refrozen. Didn’t want to say anything at the time. Coffee at breakfast was bitter, obviously overheated. I’d stay again, but only bed and breakfast

Five Stars

3rd year of staying here after Black Friday sales shopping. As always the hotel and staff were fantastic, Room is always great with all the usual amenities. This year we made full use of the room service option after a drink in the bar, £4 tray charge which is very reasonable and very quick service to bring the food. Breakfast is always a winner here with a great selection, Something for everyone. Staff are attentive without being over the top.
