Fabulous hotel and location. Rooms immaculately clean.
Fabulous hotel and location. Rooms immaculately clean.
2 uncomfortable mattresses pushed together leaving a “valley “ in the middle. Tv didn’t pick up signal . Terrible WiFi . Room service never turned up after 2 phone calls I had to go downstairs myself.
Breakfast passable but no one in charge , small portions, tea and coffee in flasks , no orange, no bowls, workman on ladder in middle of food area. Complete lack of management.

Beautiful setting , good size room, comfy bed, swimming pool was nice, friendly staff. Bit disappointed with continental breakfast, only one choice of juice, toaster didn’t toast evenly, tea wasn’t given in pots of tea but waitress brought it round which meant it wasn’t hot also very strong.. the cooked breakfast would probably be better but I can’t comment on that.

The town is beautiful and full of lovely boutique shops. There are convenient grocery shops, hairdressers and salons. There is also a post office and cash machine in the centre. I visited for a family wedding so didn’t have a lot of time to explore, but I would love to stay again and go shopping!

Room was in a very tasteful barn conversion.
Room was in a very tasteful barn conversion. Very spacious and comfortable - a good night’s sleep was easily achieved.
Was a little difficult to find a first as is located down a narrow country lane. But due to this the location was idyllic - the view from the window was of a lovely meadow.
We were only there for one night due to our schedule, but would happily have stayed longer if need be. Would certainly return if we are in the area again.

I love the style of buildings in Tarporley, high street very pleasant for a wander. Quite busy, but for me that adds to the “feel” of the area - i could quite happily live/retire to a town like this
Very spacious cottage right in the middle of the village. We loved our stay as everything was clean and fresh, it was a true home from home. The weather was cold when we stayed so we enjoyed a log fire with marshmallows and some wine, which made it extra cozy. The pub around the corner has amazing food and a great choice of local beers. Lots of lovely country walks to burn off some energy! We will be back, next time hopefully with our little dog!
The hotel was lovely, very well kept, beautiful settings/surroundings. Location wasnt amazing for connections to main roads and getting to business premises. But over all really nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Gym and spa was amazing! Rooms executive looking and very comfy. Some of it a little tired, but over all no complaints. Love the comlimentary water and a couple of other little touches like that, very nice.
Staff were lovely, friendly, and welcoming.
The room was clean, spacious, and well equipped for a 2 night stay.
Decor is not flawless, which only adds to the charm and appeal of the place.
The food was top rate !!! It is very fresh and hot and delicious.
5* Hotel this is not, but a 5*B&B with excellent food, great staff, beautiful area, and a relaxing few nights away, it most certainly is !!!!
Highly recommended.
Parking easy and plentiful. Nice pub in a lovely village. The owners are friendly and helpful. Their assistant Sammy is very pleasant, efficient and extremely helpful. Room was clean and we slept very well. We had a couple of steaks which were cooked to our liking. Beer was spot on and wine fairly priced. Cannot comment on breakfast as we didn’t order it. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
Every little special touch in this pristine property was attended to- from yogurts, cereal and fresh milk for breakfast in the room, to gorgeously comfortable bedding and towels. The rural area was idyllic with Tarporley close enough for short walks to the pubs and restaurants. The hosts were incredibly friendly and we will definitely be returning sometime soon!
The host was fabulous! Very friendly and welcoming.
10/10 for breakfast - so much option and Penelope was very accommodating!
I ended up having to do an online job interview the morning we checked out- and we were allowed to stay in the Hotel past check out time in a quiet space to complete this which I was super grateful for!!
This was our second visit within 6 months and it won't be our last. It is easily accessible to Chester, North Wales, Cheshire Oaks and infinity and beyond. You're made to feel at home, and the staff more than help creating this atmosphere. A special mention for Michel who made our evenings in the bar & restaurant so enjoyable.
The quirky room, outside old stable room.
Staff were very helpful and welcoming.
Stayed the night before our nephews wedding in Peckforton Castle. Definitely prefer the Swan Inn to Peckforton Castle. Well worth the money. Will definitely be staying there again. Thank you
Staff were excellent
On-site parking available and no problem lettiung us park there ahead of check-in
Common areas were comfortable and spacious, plenty of places to sit etc

Despite being busy and an event being on, the hotel was not noisy
What an amazing place which photos cannot do justice.
The building and the grounds are just stunning.
The room was large clean and comfy and the bed was lovely.
The breakfast was probably the best we have had in a hotel and could not see how it could be bettered.
