Ellesmere Hotel

The room was small, depressing and very tired. Although superficially clean(ish), it was in great need of a deeper, thorough sanitise and overhaul. The carpet was filthy and desperately required replacing. The tv remote was caked, the light switches dubious. The furniture was the cheapest flat pack possible, apart from a random old chair, which was bringing nothing to the party, other than being a trip hazard in the dark (see no bedside light). The mattress cover under the sheet was full of crumbs, grit and I didn’t want to think what else. I used my emergency sleeping bag rather than get in the bed. I only stayed one night out of two. There was no hairdryer and no bedside light, just the bright ceiling bulbs, which were not operational from the bed. The towels were laundered but faintly stained, the bath mat looked unwashed. The shower head was immovable and crusty, and the shower door broken. The toilet, up two steps on a podium of its own, was simply weird and possibly dangerous. The fire exit stairs were cluttered. Parking was a faff. No breakfast (I was made aware of this on booking and quite possibly wouldn’t have trusted it based on the room), so even £50 a night was steep for such a lack lustre, experience. One up from sleeping in the car, although my car is cleaner, better decorated and has nicer ambiance.

The manager could not have been more welcoming, as well as the other member of staff I came across. Great WiFi, fantastic snooker room. Would definitely visit again. Thank you for your kind hospitality!

I'm so glad I found this hotel. When we arrived we were met by the owner and she made us feel very welcomed. The room we got exceeded our expectations in every way. The bed was so comfortable we almost didn't want to get up. After exploring the town we headed to the The Bridge Bar at the hotel. The beer was good, the pizza next door was delicious and everyone was friendly. If you're ever in Ellesmere this is the hotel I would recommend and the pub! Cheers!

Only stayed for one night but what a lovely pub with restaurant first class staff very helpful food was excellent walked around the mere lake beautiful spot the room was very comfortable had everything I needed including free Wi-Fi throughout the premises

We stayed here for one night to attend our friends birthday party in the village. Location was excellent and the addition of being able to park for free was a bonus. The welcome was....well....sparse. We were not told anything about check out, assumed we knew where everything was and whilst we were shown to our room, it was a bit rushed as the lady was clearly busy looking after the bar. The room was large and spacious - overly warm but bed was comfortable and it was clean. Felt it was pricey at £120 for the night considering there is no breakfast included. We werent told what to do at check out but managed to figure out from the cleaner the following morning about the key drop box. All in all - an ok experience but wouldn't rush to stay again.

My wife and I stayed here in this town centre hotel for two nights in June. We were in room 9 – fans of the TV series will understand why we were cautious entering the room! We needn’t have worried – this is a large room refurbished to a very high standard and spotlessly clean. In fact the whole hotel has been refurbished to a high standard with quality materials, good workmanship and a good eye to design: a beautiful building to wander around, all of it spotlessly clean and a credit to the owners. There was a lovely large bar with a good range of drinks. Anyway, back to room 9. A lovely large room with a lovely large shower room The room was well equipped with storage furniture and a king size bed which turned out to be very comfortable. There was a well equipped hospitality tray. The shower room was well equipped and the shower was easy to use – not always the case. The room was also equipped with an electric sauna, a surprising find – which we didn’t use. The room overlooks the yard at the back of the hotel and was fitted with a plastic double glazed window which shut out any noise. The yard itself was a very pleasant place to drink in the warm afternoon sunshine, and opened out onto the car park for Ellesmere town centre. The hotel was not offering food of any sort, but there are plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants to choose from. We had a good breakfast in a cafe just a few steps from the hotel front door. The owners were very sociable. In conclusion we thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel and we’ll certainly be back when we next stay in the area.
