What a lovely place to stay...stopped over night as seeing family...staff and accommodation absolutely fantastic.. will stay again

What a little hidden gem this place turned out to be. We had a 3 and a half hour drive from Runcorn. When we arrived, we saw the little stream that runs around the hotel and thought it was lovely. We were greeted by a lovely lady on the front desk who explained everytbing to us from where the room was and what times the breakfast was. The room itself was exactly what we have come to expect from a Premier Inn. Very clean, comfy and welcoming. We were skeptical to try the Beefeater on site as there were a lot of mixed reviews. I am glad we did. It was lovely! Set in an old mill, it has a very rustic feel to it. They have a lot of the original milling equipment on display. That was interesting to see! The wait staff were all so, so friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. Took our food orders promptly and we were served delicious, piping hot food. The desserts were amazing as well. All in all, a perfect little stay on our way to Harry Potter World. A lovely stay in a lovely location! I wouldn't hesitate to use again!

I did a lot of research before booking this hotel and read a lot of reviews, a lot of which put down the hotel because of the Beefeater pub nextdoor. We however, found the hotel fabulous. Exactly what you’d expect from a Premier inn, lovely and welcoming front of house staff, large comfortable high up bed, large room, tv, charging ports and a lovely en suite bathroom. The charging ports threw me off slightly as they were actual USB’s next to the bed which did cause a slight issue due to having a USB-C to USB-C charger but we were able to get around this by using the plug socket at the end of the bed with an extension lead. The shower was exceptionally clean albeit not very powerful which was a little disappointing but didn’t ruin our stay. We were skeptic about the Beefeater next door due to the reviews but decided to give it a try anyway for our evening meal. The staff were lovely, food was delicious and hot and it wasn’t too expensive given the location. The pub is part of an old mill which has the history of it posted downstairs when you enter the bar it also has old milling equipment on the second floor. Upstairs is where you’re seated for food, so unfortunately not very accessible due to the age of the mill (being built in 1086 there’s no lift access but downstairs is completely accessible although not sure about the toilets as I didn’t use them there). The scenery around the mill is beautiful and considering you’re not far from the motorway you can barely hear it, there’s a lovely walk around the river that the mill uses and a huge beer garden out the back of the pub also. In short it was a lovely stay and we will definitely be coming again.

We stayed here overnight for a family wedding close by. I was a bit apprehensive as I had read some rather negative reviews but found the hotel excellent value for money and in a very pretty location close to a lovely river and lake walk. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay.
