Macdonald New Blossoms Hotel, Chester

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are great and rooms are always clean. A little old fashioned but considering the cost its worth it!"

Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is basic and on the morning we went swimming we were told we had to get out the pool at 11am for maintenance, to be honest the tiles in the pool were wobbly so were concerned. if we had known we would of booked else where."

Brookside

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice 2 night stay, all of the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was great and there were a few choices, we also ate there one evening and the food was delicious.The only downside was the bed was very low and not very comfortable for us but others might find it ok. There is also off road parking which is a bonus and it’s a 10/15 minute walk into Chester. Overall we were very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel."

Cosy 1 bed close to Chester, parking!

10/10 Excellent

"#24 is a fine fine place. It suited our purposes as a second home at a difficult time because of a loved ones poor health. This is a getaway at the edge of Chester where the rural countryside begins. It is very clearly what it says in the ad. Look at the photos, they tell you all you need to know, A lovely bottle if prosecco and a bag of snacks greeted us. Wonderful! A tip to any other visitor: local cab/taxi drivers and their dispatchers need help with the street address. One advised us: tell them you are at the Oak Grange Care Home across the small parking lot, and they know exactly where you are: "People who live call FROM the care home lobby (very friendly!)" Note for public transport user: there are buses to take you into Chester, check the online listings. Do we have some notes that would result in an even stronger endorsement? Yes. Here they are: 1) A one-page "house guide" about appliances and garbage practices would be useful. We did find manuals in a draw but a quick one-pager on the table next to the prosecco would have been useful.2) Only 2 of the very nice pans are "induction" proof. This needs attention.3) The outside light was burned out making it hard to use the key a night. Easy fix.4) Lovely broom, no dustpan. Easy fix,5) No non-slip mat in the VERY slippery shower. Easy fix. 6) Broken coffee-press device. We bought a new one and left it for the next guests.Would we stay here again? Definitely. k and b from Ottawa."
