Quaint, clean, cosy place with a fantastic breakfast. However, there was a complementary bottle of wine included in our booking which we didn’t get even though the hotel confirmed beforehand. Don’t be fooled if you see this offered!

We didn’t the rate we paid was a ‘superior’ room one but for the location which was perfect. The pub itself was cosy and historic. The cleaning staff were lovely, the reception were courteous but the restaurant were so busy the food wasn’t up to standard when we used the restaurant during our first evening and we did not receive the 10% reduction on our food bill as we had been led to believe we would. Overall it was a great place to use as a base for the centre of Chester!
