Enjoy eating together in the main dining room or outside on the river view patio. Huge picture windows in the drawing room allow the light to flood in during the day or by night close the shutters and cosy up to the open fire. The walled garden has created a superb space for guests to take in the gorgeous river and bridge views and the patio has become a prime spot for watching the world go by.

The 7 bedrooms are individually designed as thoroughly indulgent places to retire to at the end of a long day. The combination of superkings or ziplinks makes it possible to configure them to suit. 2 bedrooms on the ground floor are handy for multi generational families or anyone less mobile. 2 upstairs rooms have balcony access with more river views and somewhere to enjoy the first cup of coffee of the day. All have ensuites and the Copper Suite has a copper bath to die for.

Chester Zoo is a short drive away or further afield is a peep into Wales exploring Snowdonia and the Welsh coastline. The Wirral Peninsula is nearby and home to some world class golf courses.
