I stayed with my Mum at The Mill Spa Hotel in Chester for a 2 night stay and it was amazing. The city was gorgous and the hotel was absolutely ace.
Facilities:
Whats more it's a stones throw away from the canal, a few minutes away form town on foot and just generally a really great place to go - fantastic value too! Evening meals and breakfast were included in the price.
Also they have magic tea and biscuit fairies. These are rare creatures and i have never actually seen one myself but i hear good things of these generous creatures. They are not seen, they are not heard, but you too can entice one in. All you have to do is eat all the biscuits and consume copious amounts of tea/ coffee form the sachets left in your room and next time you come back THE FAIRIES WILL HAVE BEEN! Replacing said tea/coffee/biscuits with new ones. It's crazy, i wish i too had their magical powers and could make biscuits and tea appear with a swoosh of my magical wand or a click of my perfectly manicured finger (My real finger nails are a disgrace to the human race, thanks to Textiles they are normally a worrying shade of purple and my off the chart stress levels mean they are 9/10 gnawed t the bone) But if we're wishing for things i may as well have nice fingers and magic biscuit powers. I'd be a hero. If you ever spot one of these mythical biscuit fairies, get a photo and send it to us! We need to thank them for their service to the community and to my well being for without Earl Grey i cannot function.
Facilities:
- Sauna and steam room. I swear my skin got better just after 2 days, it was all squeaky clean and fresh.
- Pool
- Gym - I did step foot in this once, ok yes i mainly got a drink and browsed the male populace (who by the way all seem to migrate to the gym like moths to a flame) as i wandered around looking busy, knowledgeable and sufficiently sporty whilst also i like to think managing to still look like Kate Moss on a catwalk in couture - in actual fact i looked sweaty, makeup free and was wearing what can only be defined as Primarks finest in terms of gym wear a.k.a P.E trainers, holey leggings and a band t shirt.
- Fine dining restaurant- I had the chicken. I obviously had the chicken. It is a superior meat to all other animals. I will have this debate continually with my steak loving family, probably until the day i die but it is. As bad as i feel about eating chicken, they shouldn't be so delicious if they didn't want to be eaten. Maybe if they ate poo or something we wouldn't touch them. Heads up there chicken. Top survival tips form yours truly.
- Buffet breakfast 9 and i mean buffet. I'm normally quite happy with a microwaved bowl of porridge in the morning, TBH that's all i can normally face but even i did things i am ashamed of to that full English buffet and unlimited tea and coffee. Let's just say i got my moneys worth and was very very thirsty for the rest of the day - Karma's a bitch)
- A canal barge ride with dinner - I didn't try this but it looked really good, we opted for a meal out on the second night instead- Went to the slug and lettuce. I made the mistake of ordering something slightly exotic and more complex than burger and chips, think i had Pork Pad Thai. It was REVOLTING! It consisted of spaghetti, grey meat and ketchup. Although admittedly the Ketchup was me trying to cover the taste.
- Two bars- One inside and one out. It was great, after a lovely wander into town in the evening and on the canal , my mother and myself enjoyed a Gin and Tonic and watched the world go by . Well we watched some boats go by but it was equally as pleasant. Also can i add the tonic came in its own fancy bottle/ It might not seem important but it really is. Who doesn't love a little glass bottle?
