Frommer's Review

Chester's premier country-house hotel, the imposing crenelated Crabwall Manor traces its origins from the 16th century, though most of the present building dates from the early 1800s. It has a more peaceful location than the Chester Grosvenor, though it lacks the facilities and the top-notch service of its more highly rated competitor. Standing amid 4.4 hectares (11 acres) of private grounds and gardens, the capably managed hotel offers quite large, well-furnished bedrooms. Two rooms have four-poster beds. Relax in the full-service spa after working out in the hotel's aerobics studio.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor heated pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; steam room; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
