Cheshire Barn

With waiter service and a relaxed, homely  feel thanks to its gorgeous  timber beams, the Cheshire Barn is the place to head for home-cooked British favourites. Or try a succulent steak, straight from the grill.

Market Kitchen

Served buffet style, the Market Kitchen is home to bountiful breakfasts and three-course dinners. With an enormous amount of choice, you’ll want to come back for seconds.

Fountain Bar & Lounge

A great place for lunch and light bites by day, in the evening you can glam up and head down for some show-stopping cabaret performances.

There is. And if you love a dip, you’re in for a real treat because a swim in its light-flooded, 20m indoor pool is idyllic. The water is kept crystal clear thanks to the very latest water filtration technology from Denmark. Combined with a calming view of the picturesque countryside from its enormous conservatory-style, atrium windows, there’s no better place to swim in the whole of Cheshire

This fabulous Warners’ property is just a five-minute drive from the riverside town of Nantwich. With a delightful blend of history and modernity, you can soak up the culture at Nantwich Museum, take a stroll along the River Weaver or visit the mediaeval Nantwich Castle for a dose of history. The town's streets are lined with timber-framed buildings and independent boutiques, perfect for a spot of leisurely shopping.

There is. With 253 rooms in total, you’ll be spoilt for choice. But will you go for a historic suite or for something more contemporary? 

Built in Victorian times, the original main house offers 33 rooms with original oak and lashings of period features. However if you’ve got limited mobility, take note! There’s no lift here and rooms are accessed via a stairway next to reception. 

Attached to the main building and close to both reception and the Fountains Bar, the Limes is a mixture of 75 Standard, Signature and large, wheelchair accessible Royale rooms with original sleigh beds and oak furniture. 

Fairways is the newest part of the hotel, with 127 contemporary rooms arranged either side of a long corridor. Standard rooms here directly overlook the wildlife walk or leisure centre while the Signature and Royale suites boast fabulous countryside views.

Finally there’s the Courtyard. Once the original stables, these have been creatively converted into 18 rooms with their own patio area.

For overnight stays, you can get there from 11am to enjoy the facilities, but your room won’t be available until 3pm. Similarly, while check-out is by 10am, you don’t need to leave until midday. For spa packages, arrival times are generally 9am or 1.30pm, but time may vary so please check your booking confirmation.

Sorry, Alvaston Hall is a Warner property and, as such, it’s adults-only.

Bring your debit or credit card because all Warner hotels are cashless. If you’re staying overnight, a room account will be set up for you when you check in and any extras charged to it, payable by card.

It is. Alongside ramped access into all areas and good, wide walkways, there are eight accessible rooms which include wheel-in showers.

We’ll leave you to break the news to your furry friend. No pets allowed, except for registered assistance dogs.

No, there’s no golf course, but there is a fun Pitch & Putt experience to test your skills. If that just feels like a warm-up, there are plenty of quality golf clubs within easy ‘driving’ distance. Closest of which is Crewe’s Queens Park Golf Course, a very popular 9-hole course just two miles away.
