    Room was a good size, bathroom was also very big. Poor water pressure in the shower but very warm. Food in the pub was amazing, advise booking as quite busy. Bed was very hard, but not uncomfortable when sleeping.

    This property was in a fantastic location. It was very close to all attractions. You can walk along the river in to Chester centre The team that were working during our stay were all very friendly.

    Like everything. Bar staff could do we being more cheerful and learning to smile. This has only been a note on this staff usually lovely staff. Waiting staff excellent.

    Always enjoy our stay here, it’s a favourite for us to visit. Location and rooms can’t be beat. Love the rooms both upstairs in the pub and annex. Great food and lovely seating area outside.

    Evening meal rather disappointing ...obviously been a very busy Sunday service. However, drinks good and very reasonably priced, plenty of staff. We would stay again as walking distance along the canal into Chester!

    Lovely large room 3 very comfortable bed, good shower, very clean. Very helpful staff ...Josh arranged room allocation prior to our stay. Lovely setting on canal. Good breakfast choice, plentiful and good quality and served with a smile!

    Even though booking. Com hadn't booked the family room I paid for so was only given double room. Manager at Cheshire cat included breakfast next morning to compensate for initial extra charge paid for family room. Therefore was sorted quickly and without fuss. As there were only 2 of us the double room was fine, however Booking. Com should have booked the correct room so all credit to Cheshire cat.

    Lovely and clean food was lovekt

    There's not a lot not to like. It was a bit fiddly getting into our room because immediately after the bedroom door was a set of steps, but once upstairs, the size of the room and the bathroom were fine.

    We stayed for one night after a shopping trip to Cheshire Oaks. For the price we paid, the whole stay was excellent. We had a nice meal in the restaurant that evening and breakfast was good (not a buffet, you order off a menu). A bonus was finding that it was right on the Shropshire Union Canal so we could have a lovely walk before breakfast.

    I think the unecpected warm weather may have neant that it was much busier in the bar and restaurant than was, perhaps planned. Service was slow.

    A truly fantastic find. Beautiful room, completely spotless and so comfortable. It's probably the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The gardens were very pretty, and it was lovely to sit in the sun, among the gorgeous grounds. Every member of staff was so friendly and helpful, a pleasure to talk to. Food was good and reasonably priced.

    Our only issue was the room was very hot, we were given a fan but it did nothing I think it may be unbearable in full summer.

    Lovely pub on side of canal, great large beer garden and ample car parking. It was about 45 min walk into Chester along canal. Our room was in the outbuilding it was small but very well appointed the bed was comfortable. We had breakfast which was very good quality, my better half had full English both days which was huge , the coffee was nice which is very important to me. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.
