Rooms with Character

The Coach House Inn offers nine individually styled rooms that complement the 1840s period building. Premium rooms (1, 2, 5, 6) feature large windows with views of Chester Town Square and the Cathedral, with secondary glazing to reduce street noise. Standard rooms (4, 7, 8, 9) are located at the rear for quieter stays. All rooms include an ensuite bathroom (shower or bath/shower), free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, ironing facilities, and a safe. Select rooms can accommodate a crib or extra z-bed upon prior confirmation.

Local Dining Experience

The onsite restaurant serves modern British cuisine using ingredients from local suppliers: meat from David Joinson butchers, produce from Francis Thomas, and cheeses from The Cheese Wedge. The menu includes slow-braised pork belly, 10oz Sirloin steaks, and classic sticky toffee pudding. Sunday roasts feature at least three options, including a vegan choice. Breakfast offers porridge with honey and clotted cream, full English, vegetarian and vegan options, eggs Benedict, and breakfast sandwiches. The bar serves cask ales, wines, and cocktails, with a weekday £20 deal for two cocktails and two nibbles on Fridays.

City Center Location

The hotel is situated in Chester's city center, 1 km from Chester Railway Station and 15 km from Hawarden Airport. It is steps from Chester Town Hall, Chester Cathedral, The Storyhouse theatre, and the new Chester Market. Key landmarks within 300-500 meters include Chester Rows, Walls of Chester, The Watergate Street Gallery, and Cheshire Military Museum. The central location provides easy walking access to all attractions, though some street noise may occur in evening hours.

Event and Group Services

The Coach House Inn offers private event hosting for gatherings and parties in their marquee space, classified as outdoor seating. Gift vouchers for the restaurant, hotel, or bar are available online in £10 or £20 denominations. The team provides recommendations for food and drink pairings, such as ale selections to complement menu items.

Practical Guest Services

Breakfast is available for £9.95 per person, payable at the hotel. Complimentary earplugs are provided for light sleepers due to potential city noise. The hotel can confirm crib or extra bed availability upon direct request prior to arrival. Free Wi-Fi access is available throughout the property.

“The Coach House Inn, dating back to 1840, offers more than just a place to stay; it's a step back in time with modern comforts. The staff's dedication to service truly stands out, adding a personal touch that elevates the experience, and the tailored dining with locally sourced ingredients is a delight. It's a smart choice for those wanting to explore Chester's charm.”
