Few days away in Chester. The staff were welcoming and friendly, it is a pub so expect some noise. The rooms were clean and had everything needed for a short stay. Great location for all amenities, shops , bars and local history.

The Golden Eagle, Chester

WE had a brilliant short stay in Chester. We visited Liverpool by train and Nantwich by bus. The city centre and plenty of restaurants were all within a few minutes walk. The Golden Eagle was first class. The owner and staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We are already thinking of another stay with them.
