    superb location
    craft beer
    small room
    external noise
    pricey breakfast

    The location was superb, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore. The real ales brewed on-site were a delightful touch, and the food, particularly the locally sourced dishes, was flavorful and well-prepared. However, the room was fairly small, and external noise from the street could be heard, especially with single-pane windows. The breakfast was nice but felt on the pricey side without clear pricing displayed beforehand.

    comfy room
    clean atmosphere
    historical character
    stairs access
    extra heating

    The room was comfy and quiet, which was a surprise given the central location. It was clean and had a nice old character to it. Just a heads up, there are stairs to climb, so it might not be ideal for everyone. The heating was a bit extra, but that’s typical for an older building. Overall, good vibes in the room.

    cozy atmosphere
    characterful room

    We had a charming experience with the warm pub atmosphere downstairs where we enjoyed a few drinks before heading upstairs to our room. Our room had starry wooden beams and was slanted, but that just added character, like a rustic movie set.

    Price was a bit on the high side, but I’d say still reasonable.

    impressive staircase

    Just an appropriate option for a cursory stop in Chester that’s great for the money. The impressive staircase adds a nice touch. Be prepared for steep bar prices when ordering drinks.

    The Pied Bull is a charming establishment rich in history, with unique features that enhance your stay experience. The staff provided exceptional service, being both attentive and friendly.

    An Enchanting Stay with Unique Experiences!

    We spent two exceptional nights in a stunning luxury room, soaking up the charm of an older establishment. The onsite brewery tour was a delightful surprise, offering exclusive tastings. Don't miss the cozy restaurant offerings for breakfast. each dish was fresh and beautifully prepared. Book early to secure a quiet room away from the energetic pub vibes!
