Ellesmere Rural Vacation Packages

Had to pay £15 to park in their car park because I booked through hotels.com but apparently parking is free if you book direct which is annoying. The older part of the building is lovely but the more modern block where we were staying looked very tired from the outside. Our room was nice inside. Clean and well maintained but so, so hot. The sun was facing our window in the morning which super heated the room and the one fan between the three of us did nothing to help and none of us slept well. We were a bit disappointed to discover that the restaurant was not open on Friday/Saturday/Sunday evenings, not every day as stated on their Hotels.com listing. They did say that if we ordered food in, they would provide plates and cutlery but we decided it was easier to go out somewhere for dinner. Breakfast was nice. The food was all cooked well and replenished frequently in small batches so nothing was sat out for too long.

We booked this hotel last minute when our previous accommodation let us down. What a surprise! The hotel is gorgeous. The staff couldn’t do enough for us, the hotel was very charming, the grounds were stunning as well. Breakfast was the only slight disappointment with the quality of the food however the experience made up for it.

Excellent amenities, food and room

Hotel was lovely, I booked a family room and expected a double & single as advertised and pictured....the single however was a very tired sofa bed with a pretty much pointless mattress. Not the end of the world, but our tiny 8yr old daughter struggled to get comfortable or sleep, it would have been no use to an older child or adult. Worth checking this before booking.
