The Secret Garden Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Perfect hotel for a couples trip to the races! Location brilliant , beautifully decorated and superbly clean , quirky rooms. The bar area and courtyard are a lovely addition . We didn’t get chance to try the restaurant but we will be back. Highly recommend .
We didn’t stay over so can’t comment on the rooms but if they’re of the same standard as they are the restaurant/bar area it is amazing! The staff were very helpful and the food/drinks were delicious! We stopped in for a coffee and sausage/bacon butty before we set off for the Santa dash, we had our dog and they were very dog friendly, which was lovely and unexpected as the place is quite posh. Will definitely be back for more food and would recommend this as a hotel for all our dog lovers.

In town for Dara O'Briain at the Storyhouse. Lovely quiet ground floor room. Bed was large and comfy. Very quirky place. Handy for all the things that Chester can offer. Only downside was the lack of a cooked breakfast choice in the morning ...
