- The Chester Grosvenor is a famous five star choice, known for its mock Tudor facade, and superb restaurant. It has 80 rooms and suites, with varied decor plus a spa and gym, as well as several bars.
Cheshire is a green, picturesque county, complete with wonderful Tudor buildings and Friesian cows chewing their cud in lush pastures. The fields are dotted with walled manor houses both ancient, modern and faux-ancient. Some of the best places to stay in Cheshire have been converted from these old, and new, manors and now offer luxurious accommodation, but our Gurus have also discovered a good selection of pubs-with-room, as well as some chic contemporary choices.
The historic Roman town of Chester, with its red Roman wall and ancient collection of architecture, is one of the first ports of call for many visitors. In addition to the Roman amphitheatre and assorted ruins, Chester also has a collection of beautiful Tudor and Victorian buildings, a cathedral, a zoo, and a pretty river running through it. Chester is also a popular pick for shoppers — it has a large designer outlet centre — and for keen horseracing fans (the racecourse has a busy calendar of events).
Whilst you're in the county it's worth checking out eclectically designed Knutsford, Crewe and Nantwich, along with the pretty, rural hamlets and villages. Cheshire’s location, separating the hills of North Wales and the Peak District is both beautiful and geographically fascinating. And the whole region is webbed by walking routes and cycling trails. Historic sites of interest will break up your explorations nicely, from prehistoric burial grounds, to medieval castles and Cheshire’s canal system.
This part of the world is busy throughout the year, so if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Cheshire, we recommend you do your research and book well ahead.
