Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is basic and on the morning we went swimming we were told we had to get out the pool at 11am for maintenance, to be honest the tiles in the pool were wobbly so were concerned. if we had known we would of booked else where."

Brookside

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice 2 night stay, all of the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was great and there were a few choices, we also ate there one evening and the food was delicious.The only downside was the bed was very low and not very comfortable for us but others might find it ok. There is also off road parking which is a bonus and it’s a 10/15 minute walk into Chester. Overall we were very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel."
