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
We booked this beautiful accommodation on behalf of our daughter, who was visiting from Spain for the first time in 6 years. She had many happy memories of the area growing up in Tarporley and often walked in the area as a young girl.
The welcome she received, together with the kindness of the hosts, David and Karin made her return very special and memorable. She was also very pleased with the welcome provisions provided. Views of the surrounding country side were excellent!
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.
Beautiful country cottage in the middle of the village. Easy to check in and everything was lovely and clean. Plenty of space for all of us and the cottage was kitted out with everything we needed as a 'home from home' even so far as the toys and gaming area for the kids.
You can walk through the village to all of the pubs and restaurants, and there is a lovely grocers store which sells everything.
The room was beautiful. Very well put together, spacious and clean. Easy to access and easy to check in. There isn't hotel parking, but there is a free car park a 60 second walk from the hotel which was easy enough to find The host/staff we friendly and helpful. I needed an iron for one of my outfits and after I requested it they responded quickly and organised one to be brought up to my room.
Pheasant Cottage is the perfect little home away from home. Every little detail was taken care of before our arrival and during our stay we had a few little requests which the host kindly helped with.
The decor and facilities were very modern, the view gorgeous rolling countrysides and we would not hesitate to stay there again if we were in the Cheshire area.
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
The Swan is an excellent place to stay. Our room was superb. One of the best we have stayed in. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Great location. Our only regret is we were there for only one night!! We will be back.
