The Cheshire Cheese Inn

Very enjoyable stay at The Cheshire Cheese Inn, staff were very helpful and friendly. We had the evening meal and the food quality was excellent and the service great. Nothing was too much trouble and the team chatted to us throughout the evening. Breakfast the following morning was top notch (my particular favourites being the sausage and bacon). I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay in this wonderful establishment if you’re ever in the area,

We live quite local to this pub but even though we dine out regularly we have never tried it before, we thought we give it a go to see if it could be somewhere we would add to our favourites. It won’t be. The pub is lovely, in an amazing location, the staff were good. The food really let it down, dried out bap for the burger, soggy salad, small portion of undercooked frozen chips to go with the Cajun chicken. The pub is great for stopping for a drink after a good walk but for us that would be all.

We enjoyed staying at this traditional inn and meeting the lovely people who run it. It felt like such a genuine, honest, real place - somewhere we could relax and breathe easily, in contrast to the massive chain hotel we had just been staying in in Liverpool, where sheer numbers of guests led inevitably to a dehumanized, mass-produced feel. Here we were real people in a real place eating real food and sleeping in a real room with character and personality. The towels were folded into the shape of swans, the bed was so soft, there was a warm private bathroom with a separate shower and bath, all beautifully clean. From our window we could see the river and the high hills, we could watch the rain sweeping across the landscape and the sun rising clear above the billowing clouds. The walk from the station took us past quietly grazing sheep and banks of sunlit yellow daffodils. We are grateful and very happy to have had such a restorative time here. Thank you to everyone, and long may it continue.
