Quaint, clean, cosy place with a fantastic breakfast. However, there was a complementary bottle of wine included in our booking which we didn’t get even though the hotel confirmed beforehand. Don’t be fooled if you see this offered!

We didn’t the rate we paid was a ‘superior’ room one but for the location which was perfect. The pub itself was cosy and historic. The cleaning staff were lovely, the reception were courteous but the restaurant were so busy the food wasn’t up to standard when we used the restaurant during our first evening and we did not receive the 10% reduction on our food bill as we had been led to believe we would. Overall it was a great place to use as a base for the centre of Chester!

A small double room that was clean and tidy and on the ground floor (room 22). Staff were always friendly and helpful. Noise from outside the room at 05.30, which was probably rubbish bins collection. Easy walking distance to shops,xmas market, restaurant's and bars. We parked our car in rhe New market hall car park which is a few minutes walk away, very convenient. The car park cost for two days was £33.00 which is expensive. Almost forgot to mention the great breakfast

Polite staff from check-in to check-out, a staff member showed me to my room and explained the keys and access points for after 9pm. The room was in the cottage’s past the enclosed beer garden. The room was clean and tidy, warm enough once the oil radiator was turned on and the bathroom was clean and a great size. The bed was comfortable and I can highly recommend the shower enclosure as it was very big and plenty of towels. There are hot drink facilities in the room and a small wardrobe with a hairdryer. I would recommend this place also for location as it is 2 minutes away from the Christmas markets and the cathedral is very close by along with the wall

Really enjoyed the ambience at the Pied Bull and the staff were all welcoming, helpful & friendly. Our room was comfortable though the bed was a bit creaky. That said I slept well in it! The hotel was quiet & comfortable with a great selection of drinks at the bar and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed it so much we’re returning in December. Thank you to the staff & hotel for being the perfect hosts for the visit to a wonderful city.
