“The Boathouse Inn occupies a rather special spot by the River Dee, making for a genuinely pleasant approach to Chester's centre. Bedrooms, while varying in view, are kept comfortable and clean, and the real highlight here is the quality of the food served, especially with the river backdrop from the restaurant. The convenience of free, accessible parking is a significant bonus for anyone navigating Chester.”
