Hotels near Brownlee＇s pool, Warrington

1st the rooms ate very clean, the hotel is spotless. Some issues. The hotel states its dog friendly, this is true, but it's not clear on their website that not all rooms are dog friendly, so the superior room we had booked was downgraded, and a £20 fee added as a charge for the dog. If you are dog friendly then make sure you fully reflect this in the website. Evening meal in the restaurant, the staff were very friendly and efficient. It would appear that the full online menu is not available in the restaurant , a cut down version. Ok. We were advised that the Thai Green Curry was not available. Ok. We ordered, soon afterwards, we were advised that the beer battered onion rings was also off the menu. Hmm, so every is not freshly cooked, but pulled out of the freezer. Even an average chef could manage to produce a batter and cook onion rings, not difficult . Right, the room, is fine, but no ability to regulate the heat, reduced opening on the windows, didn't help. Right, breakfast. We arrived at 8:40, the restaurant was fairly empty. We were taken to a table. The staff appeared to be totality uninterested. We went to the buffet bar, no eggs, asked and were advised they were cooked to order. So we ordered two poached eggs and two fried eggs. No. They can't do fried eggs, only poached or scrambled. That confirms that nothing is actually cooked. No eggs, are they being serious? The scrambled arrived it appear to be swimming in some liquid, not pleasant. Right the cold buffet bar looked poor, the yoghurt was empty. No white bread to toast. The staff were not bothered to ask if we wanted our coffee topping up. At precisely 9:00 AM the staff kicked into action and cleared the hot food. I asked when did they stop serving, they answered 9:30, but they cleared everything away at 9:00. Paying customers who turned up after 9 looked dismayed at the empty hot buffet. The uninterested stsff had to go and get the food from the kitchen .I've stayed in a large number of hotels ranging from guest houses to 5 star, but have never seen such poor attitude at breakfast, a failure to fry an egg. Needs looking at..

We really enjoyed our visit today. We were only day pass guests tho ( because we are too cheap to get memberships) anyway, the staff on reception at the gym were so helpful and gave us a lock and a towel each, the price was £2 a towel ... 2 quid ! This country is in a crisis right now and like Adele says ' Go easy on me baby ' I handed over my card like Whoopi Goldberg handing the cheque to that nun in Ghost ...unfortunately the sauna was out of use which miffed us off abit but we didn't let that spoil things. The facilities were great .. steam room , swimming pool which was heated ! I had thoughts of a reenactment from the ending of Titanic but no ... oh and a jacuzzi ! After some time of day-dreaming and pretending that this place was my own, and it was part of my new house that I'd just purchased after winning big on the lotto, we got out and headed to the changies. Love that I could dry my hair and get my full geisha on instead of looking like a drowned rat that had been pulled from some kind of wreckage . After our time in the pool , we went for dinner ( we say dinner not lunch , we are Northern) ... we strutted into the bar and grill like we owned the gaff . We were greeted by the beautiful Wynne who was an absolute star. So happy, polite and adorable. It was at this point we needed to channel our inner Augustus Gloop and grip the menu. We got the Peri Peri burger stack each with fries and coleslaw and my guy in the kitchen did not disapoint . Wynne brought our food over and it was delicious,a tad overpriced I thought but it was lovely food. ( i just wont but my heating on for another week) I would've given a full 5 star rating but the sauna being out of order is the only reason why I'm not giving 5. Would come back again, course we would xxx

Coming to Warrington, this hotel is pretty good, with free parking. And the waiter's attitude is very good. There are also restaurants. There is also a separate cabin where you can cook. It was just that the outside room had insufficient heating and insufficient water. Everything else is perfectly fine.

We needed a place to stay in order to attend a colleague’s 50th Birthday Bash in Northwich. The location is quiet and rural with plenty of parking spaces and a well maintained exterior. Comms were excellent and instructions were clear. The accommodation varies by room with each having its own character and theme. Ours was ‘classic’ and was comfortable, clean and cordial. Of particular note was the shower! Wonderfully simple, controllable and powerful. Breakfast was plentiful, freshly made and personally served in a lovely, ‘solid’ farmhouse style dining room which has a cozy communal lounge off to one side where one can sit and relax outwith the bedrooms. The remote for the TV didn’t work, but this was fixed immediately with a smile. Cleaning staff friendly and approachable and nothing seemed like too much trouble. The overnight temperature during our stay was an unseasonal 25°! Very warm for September. Thankfully the windows opened widely and the quiet idyll of the Cheshire countryside didn’t intrude. We stayed three nights and really enjoyed this wee gem. Good value and high quality aren’t always found together. But they are at Wall Hill!

Beautiful hotel

We stayed at the Hartford Hall for one night which was way more than enough. The hotel looks really nice from the online pictures and most reviews are pretty positive although I have to wonder if they stayed in the same place as we did. We arrived at the hotel around 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon and waited to checkin at a small booth in the main bar. No one was there but the barman was friendly and told us someone would be with us soon. The guy who checked us in was very friendly and gave us our room key for ”Clotton” room. We made our way through the bar towards an outbuilding which was where the rooms were located along a smelly corridor with filthy carpets. There were lots of dogs in the bar and some very small children (toddlers) just wondering around, it felt like a kennel come creche!! Our room cost £105 breakfast not included, and was quite spacious with a large bed and was nice and warm. But within minutes we could smell a musty damp aroma which was coming from the bathroom. All appeared clean and dry so we turned the bathroom lights on and the extraction fan started. This controlled the smell. We popped down to the bar for some light food as we were going into Northwich for dinner later. We ordered garlic bread with cheese, buttermilk chicken and fries. This small plate selection came to just under £19. The food arrived and the buttermilk batter was burnt, and we are still looking for the cheese that was supposed to be on the garlic bread. The food was really poor and the whole place seemed to be trying to be something that it's not. We came back to the room for a shower and this was when we realised why the room was musty. The shower try is too small and there was no glass screen at the end of the shower so water sprayed everywhere. We had to use all the hand towels to keep the floor dry. It was a real mess. We went out for the evening and came back to the hotel at bang on 11pm and were looking forward to a few drinks. We went to the bar only to be told ”we are closed”!!! So off to bed we went. Our room was right angles to the pub which was located on the very end of the building and parallel to a very busy road. The room had old and ineffective double glazing and so we had constant road noise all night. Neither of us slept and was one of the worst experiences we have had in a hotel. At 8.30am we checked out. We mentioned to the lady who was at the check in desk that we had had an awful night to which she replied ”yes the road is noisy”. We also mentioned that we couldn't get a drink last night and her reply was ”we are a pub with rooms, not a hotel”. We will never eat or stay here again and definitely would not recommend. It's awful.

Was a good night sleep despite our worries when first arriving very buisy outside main roads and shopping centres but inside the room it wasn't too bad was clean and comfortable everything we needed had to get some extra tea milk and sugar but nothing to much trouble

I stayed here last year and gave it 5 stars We have dropped a star for two reasons If you want a hot drink from the bar you cannot put the charge on the room and have to pay separately at the machine this is very complicated and slow if you are tired and I required help from two helpful members of staff Also our room on the first floor was very noisy we could hear everything next door constantly However this is still an excellent example of the brand and all the staff are brilliant

We attended our friends wedding. The day was perfect from start to finish. The staff were all friendly. The wedding venue was stunning and the food was excellent. The room we stayed in was very modern and very clean. The bed was comfy too. The breakfast was really nice. I would definitely recommend this venue to other friends looking for a wedding venue or just to stay over after having a nice meal.
