We arrived on a Sunday and went to The Hornsmill for a Sunday roast, very good although you do need to cross a busy road. Accommodation was very well equipped with a lovely view out the back, beds very comfortable and slept ok apart from being woken at 4am by the cockerel at the farm next door! Good location and handy for Chester.

Access over the thick gravel forecourt was difficult for wheelchair access and there was no facility for hanging clothes in the upstairs bedrooms.

Parlour was spotless and lots of little extras. Lovely bubbly and cupcakes for our birthday girl but also cleaning stuff too. We had great weather so spent time outside in the hot tub. Only improvement for us would be a couple of comfy armchairs in the living area as we were sat on dining chairs chatting till early hours as there is only one settee. We will be back
