Crabwall Manor

Frommer's Review

Chester's premier country-house hotel, the imposing crenellated 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. The bathrooms are first-class; most have bidets and separate tub/shower combos. 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; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
