We Stayed at the weekend, on check in we wasn’t given the garden view room that we paid for. They had a private party at the hotel, not a problem we don’t mind music. But when other guests arrive back to their room at 1am shouting down the corridors and you can hear every word they say because the walls are paper thin! Then yes I have a problem. We hardly slept and had a long journey home the next day. At Breakfast I ordered a bacon cob when it arrived I had a sausage cob and the waitress made a scene instead of just excepting she made a mistake, so I just excepted the sausage even though it wasnt what I ordered. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again.

Weekend break

We loved our stay at Rowton hall, our room was a master suite with a separate lounge which was great to relax before bed. Breakfast was good plenty to choose from, we had 1 dinner which was very good again plenty of choice. The locations is secluded but only 10 mins from chester centre very handy for shopping or site seeing. We would stay again.
