Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Crabwall Manor Hotel & Spa is often praised for its beautiful house and gardens, creating a 'wow factor' for many guests. The spacious rooms often feature comfortable super king-size beds and huge bathrooms, while those staying in room 36 were particularly blown away by its 5-star suite feel. Breakfast is another highlight, especially the sausages! Though some guests have noted that the dinner was overpriced, the hotel's location, not even 10 minutes from the centre of Chester, makes it a convenient base for exploring the area.
