The Saddle Inn

One night stay along with our 15yr old son. All 3 of us stayed in the same room which was very spacious, set out lovely and very clean. We were impressed with the decor and fealt comfortable right from first entering. Yes it could do with a bit of an update but nothing to worry about at all. The management and staff couldn’t be more helpful during our stay right from checking in to having a bite to eat and a few drinks in the bar. Need to say, the meal we had was professionally cooked and therefore couldn’t fault. There was live music playing on the Saturday night which we enjoyed, however we went to bed before the band finished and noise was not an issue as we couldn’t hear it from our room. To sum up, this is a 100% recommended place to stay, excellent venue, people, room, menu and atmosphere. This will be a regular place that we will stay at in the future..... Ps we do lots of city breaks and this hotel (albeit different from your usual chains) was truly amazing.

We wish we could return to the Saddle Inn every night and wake up to an amazing breakfast every day! We received such a lovely welcome on arrival and continued throughout our stay. We stayed extra nights and truly sampled the full experience of fun rock nights and quiet relaxing nights. We dined in the lounge area 3 nights running, The locally sourced food was cooked to perfection and the Sunday roast was simply the best. Breakfast was exceptional for an Inn. The Grade II listed building makes the bedrooms fun and quirky especially as they are rock band themed. The toiletries and towels were lovely. We cannot fault our stay, all the staff were so friendly, professional and helpful. The manager was exceptionally key to the perfect running of the bar and room check in. The owners should feel proud of the Saddle Inn. A Grade II building can be challenging to update and modernise and clearly they are winning! We highly recommend a stay to enjoy Chester by day and the Saddle Inn by night.

A lovely quirky pub. We stayed for two nights and were really happy with our room. Freshly cooked breakfast was a bonus and was lovely. We were in Guns n Roses room which again was quirky but fab. If we stay in Chester again will definitely book here.

An overnight visit to Chester to meet up with some friends led us to the Saddle Inn. Followed their advice and secured free overnight parking very close by. Comfortable nights sleep - NOT disturbed by noise as other reviews have stated - and a good tasty breakfast in the morning to set us on our way. Special thanks to the staff, notably Nancy for her excellent customer care and to Rebecca for the thoughtful birthday room decorations and Prosecco that welcomed us in our room.

A great last minute booking, with free parking just a 1 minute walk away. I booked 20 minutes before turning up to check in, and the gentleman who greeted me was so helpful, I am sorry I didn’t catch his name, but big kudos to him for checking me in, getting me a bev and being so friendly. Immaculate rooms with unique character, a brilliant bar with very reasonably priced drinks for the centre of Chester. From reading the reviews, I am gutted I didn’t get any food! I most definitely will be back, I am dying to try the breakfast. Thank you again for checking me in last minute and thank you as well to the owners, you have a great team and a great establishment, but I am sure you know that already!

It was a nice enough room bathroom a bit tired decor very suitable for theme of pub Stairs to rooms very narrow and hard slog getting to the top floor . Didn’t eat in as food was finished when we arrived and not available on the other two days which was disappointing.

My friend and I visited here this afternoon as we met up to have lunch. The Saddle was recommended to us by a friend. The young lady behind the bar was so polite and friendly. I had belly pork and wow. Compliments to the chef. Amazing presentation spot on. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon.

just back from another lovely stay at the saddle inn, room was warm, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent for the city centre, river and city walls. The food is very good and the staff are lovely. We mentioned when booking that we were coming for my birthday and there was a birthday card and two small bottles of prosecco from Rebecca and the staff left in our room which was a lovely touch. Can't wait to return again later in the year. Glenda and John

Lee was an absolute star he sorted everything we needed and went above and beyond for us. Would absolutely stay again and recommend him to anyone staying in the area. Also great location, minutes walk to the town centre
