“What a gem! Met up there for an overnight stay with friends. Great location and ideally situated for walking.
Our rooms were in the main building. They were spacious and well-equipped with tea/coffee making, proper milk and snacks. The beds were also very comfy and the en suite had a great shower.
We ate there for lunch and dinner- good menu and excellent, tasty options, with great selection of gins and wine. However what really made our stay, and will guarantee a return visit, was the warm...
“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here overall, but the experience was bookended by two entirely different worlds.
Check-in on the afternoon of 18 August was an absolute breeze—the receptionist who assisted me was a proper professional, welcoming and efficient, setting a cracking first impression.

“I liked the easy access from the motorways near Chester & the co-location of service station EV chargers or the option of using your own cable for slow 13A overnight charging for a modest fee payable to the hotel.

Croissants were an unexpected option. My only dislike was that there were no meal options except breakfast when I stayed....
“Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive.
Quaint Victorian surroundings created the feel of a bygone aristocratic era.
Minutes from train station and local shops & amenities.

Excellent value for money.”
“The main Hall is beautiful, well preserved and awe-inspiring.

The location of the breakfast server in the extensive new block was a bonus.”
“We had a great stay at The School House. The room was very comfortable and Helen was very helpful in providing a delicious breakfast so we could leave promptly to see the Manchester Marathon. There is a pleasant walk nearby (recommended by Helen) and we had a great meal at The Fox - just a short walk away. ”
“Beautiful location - was perfect for us attending Forest Live at Delamere Forest. Lovely room - spacious and clean. Breakfast was perfect & the owners so friendly. Would definitely return & recommend to others.”
