The Mill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and very friendly staff breakfast was excellent and plenty of it bar and staff very pleasant"

Hampton by Hilton Liverpool/John Lennon Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for the airport, could see departure door from the room, staff very friendly, polite and helpful, hotel and room absolutely spotless, tea & coffee making facilities, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, toiletries. Took breakfast at 7.30, plentiful food and drink options, departure screen and news channels in a very comfortable lounge and with breakfast tables if you preferred. Didn’t use parking but it was on the fifth floor right next to reception foor (reception is on the fifth floor). If being dropped off, the express drop off is fine and right next to the hotel. Would stay again as it took the stress out of rushing in the morning."

Brook Mollington Banastre Hotel and Spa

"A really lovely hotel - a bit of a time capsule but immaculately kept and well presented. The staff are all super friendly and go out of their way to help. We spent a couple of nights very comfortably, and the swimming pool and gym are really well maintained and well equipped. We visited for Chester Zoo, which is super close and easy to get to from the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic trip and I would recommend the Brook Mollington if you’re looking for a comfortable hotel in Chester."
