service in the dining room at breakfast and at dinner was excellent and food was very good. This applies to the do I attended in the small function room. Parking is very limited. Bar was not serving speciality coffees nor did it have any port. Not enough bar staff to cope with large pre-dinner group.

Great location

Lovely hotel, right next to the canal. If you’re lucky, at breakfast you can see a few ducks and swans swimming by! Perfect location for Cheshire Oaks, Chester Zoo and Blue Planet Aquarium. We even headed up to Liverpool for the day. If you have children, ask about VIK at reception; children can have a free item from the bar each day, no purchase necessary!
