this property certainly has the WOW factor.....entrance through the portcullis onto the green lawn, and then being shown to a wonderful bedroom. the hotel is very well placed for visiting Chester, the Wirral and port sunlight, which we enjoyed enormously

Glad to go home after our stay. Gutted

We had anticipated a restorative stay at the castle; however, the accommodations proved significantly substandard. The small room was exceptionally unclean, especially the carpeting, necessitating serious consideration of immediate departure. The cost was disproportionate to the quality, resulting in considerable disappointment. While we registered our concerns, the response was inadequate. The experience failed to provide the necessary respite, and the room required substantial refurbishment and replacement of the outdated furnishings.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not what I was looking forward to.

Avoid Malpas room, it is above something that generates alot of noise and it vibrates the floor and so the bed vibrates also. The noise doesn't stop till late at night and starts at 6.00.a.m.You can see the curtain hooks on the 4 poster rail moving because of the vibration. I asked for ear plugs and was given 2 small balls of cotton wool that did nothing. Take toiletries because all that is in the suite is 2 bottles fixed to the shower wall so if you are bathing, bad news!

It’s good to remember this is a castle for several reasons. The first being the heating system is antiquated. Second, wi-fi has dead spots and does not necessarily work in your room. Third, the castle caters to groups/weddings and some get quite loud. They are celebrating. With these things in mind it was a nice stay.

A stunning property in stunning surroundings. Staff very friendly & happy to help. We had 1 meal at the hotel & unfortunately it was not very nice but staff knocked it off our bill. Bathroom radiator leaked oil over bathroom floor, told staff twice about this. A lovely bedroom but bathroom not overly clean.

The building is beautiful. I stayed in the Little Budworth room, the bed was very comfy and the room had old world charm with a beautiful view of the chapel. I needed a phone charger and the lady on reception brought one up for me and would not take a tip, she was lovely. I didn't see any facilities for room service, but that's not saying they didn't.
