We celebrated our Nana’s 90th birthday and rented out one of the function rooms. We stayed for 2 nights in total and had the best time! The staff were incredible and made our stay so enjoyable. The food was so good! We had two evening meals and breakfast, and both were so tasty! I have a gluten intolerance and the staff were so attentive to my needs, even bringing me gluten-free bread or a roll with breakfast without me even asking! I also had my little one with me, and they offered to wash her bowls and utensils, they even had a little toy she could use to keep her entertained during mealtimes. Tony and Hazel really are wonderful, and we really got to know them during our stay – we felt so welcomed and cared for. The pool was lovely – my little one’s first time in the pool. Overall, an amazing stay, we had such an amazing time celebrating my Nana, we will definitely come back!!

We had a really relaxing and stress free stay and I cannot fault the hard working and very professional staff at Rowton Hall Hotel.
The food was really nice and the waiting staff were always friendly and providing a service with a smile.
The building is in impeccable condition and the rooms are super clean and well maintained.
Thank you again to the Rowton Hall Hotel staff for making our stay a memorable one for all the right reasons.

Really good place. Food was awesome. Had a relaxing time at pool and sauna .The ambience is great the place where the hotel is located is serene and peaceful. Love the staff very hospitable.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Rowton, and we are overjoyed with our experience. Our wedding manager was Lisa, and our operations manager was Amy. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place to host our special day.
The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful gardens and rooms that provided a picturesque backdrop for our intimate ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the beauty and aesthetics of the location.
The team at Rowton were exceptional. They were incredibly professional, accommodating, and attentive to every detail. From the initial planning, menu tasting, and the day of the event, they ensured everything ran smoothly and flawlessly. Their expertise and dedication made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. They were always available and accommodating to our requests.
We were particularly impressed with the level of service provided. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests felt welcomed and taken care of.
We absolutely recommend Rowton Hall to anyone looking for a breathtaking and well-managed venue for their wedding or any special event. Thank you for making our wedding day everlasting and unforgettable! And special thank you to Lisa and Amy for your help arranging our day and ensuring it ran smoothly!

What a wonderful makeover this hotel has had. The tasteful decor and plush velvet furnishings with quirky ornaments give the luxury feel.
The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. We had a lovely afternoon tea. They were very accommodating and catered for my dairy allergy. We also had a couple of drinks (£7 for a Prosecco and £24 for a bottle of wine).
We really enjoyed the outdoor area with new garden furnishings and the view across the gardens.
The hotel was just a 15-20 minute walk from Christleton village and made a pleasant change from our usual local pub.
Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back again soon and eat some other things off their menu.

Wonderful ambience. Been coming here since 1978. Good food, great rooms, peace and quiet…ahhh!

Lovely stay for my sisters 50 th. Upgraded to the lodge. Beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble. Spa and pool and gym just right. Delicious breakfast. Evening meal tasty too

Visited the spa for afternoon tea and spa day with treatment at the end of September. Absolutely delightful. The afternoon flew by. Pool, steam and sauna were perfect temperatures. Afternoon tea with prosecco was delicious and the massage was so relaxing. Highly recommend.

Visited Rowton Hall hotel and Spa for a celebration afternoon tea. We received a warm greeting from the reception staff member. We were taken through to a lovely decorated room. Our host explained the afternoon tea and was aware of our dietary requirements. (Informed them at time of booking). We were given the option to have our prosecco with the meal or afterwards in the hotel lounge, we choose the latter.
The food was of a great quality. Having finished our meal we were shown through to the lounge, again the lounge was beautifully decorated and despite a minor spillage by the barman, we received our drinks in a relaxed atmosphere.
Overall a great experience in beautiful surroundings and very pleasant staff.

Set in 8 acres, Rowton hotel and spa is beautiful inside and out. Inside there’s a lovely reception. The staff can’t do enough to help with our stay.
We stayed in a premier bedroom with a spa package. Unlike other spas, the itinerary throughout the stay was relaxing and comfortable. The room was spacious and the bed was one of the best night sleep we’ve had. You can specify early check in and champagne/prosecco in your room, well worth it in my opinion.
The spa is lovely with comfortable loungers and chairs around the pool. Sauna and steam room too with one hot and one cold shower. The pool looks out on a beautiful walled garden.
For dinner, we had dietary requirements and there was plenty of choice. The food came hot, presented well and delicious. Staff in the thyme restaurant were lovely and were happy to help with our request.
The bar has games you can use, we had a lot of fun with the games after dinner.
Next morning breakfast in the thyme restaurant plenty of choice from the continental buffet with gluten free options. There’s a menu with a selection included in the package or if you’re feeling hungry there’s an extra menu with a supplement cost. Food was cooked to perfection.
The spa package we had was a 55 minute treatment each. The double room was available and the staff in the spa did an amazing job in unwinding and relaxing us both.
We finished up with the lazy lunch package on the patio. After a cold drink we walked around the stunning grounds. Well worth exploring as there’s a pond, lovely paths and it was a perfect end to our stay…
… however it won’t be our last… Already looking forward to the next one. Thank you for making our stay perfect.

The best spa experience I’ve had! I booked the pregnancy spa package and it’s been outstanding from start to finish.
The staff have all been welcoming and lovely, the elemis massage was absolutely beautiful and I was made to feel so relaxed. To top it off, the two course lunch was some of the nicest food I’ve ever had.
Spa facilities were perfect, nice and warm, clean, had everything you need. Would highly recommend ❤️

We had a fantastic evening at Rowton Hall for a Christmas party event they recently held. Great food, the service was excellent and everybody was in good form. |Rowton Hall is such a lovely venue with the pool and spa complex being a real treat the next stay. We’re looking forward to our return.

Had a really enjoyable Christmas party night out with friends at the hotel in December. Entertainment, food and service was all great. Been before and thought it has stayed good value. Will be back. Good venue for a party / event. Thank you..

Beautiful setting for my daughter’s Autumn wedding. The Apartment was an excellent location for the Bride & Bridesmaids to get ready on the morning of the wedding, with plenty of space and natural light. All other rooms are spacious and comfortable.
The grounds were a fantastic setting for photos, with guests enjoying drinks on the patio area in the sunshine.
The function room was beautifully decorated and set up for both the wedding breakfast and the evening party, and the conservatory area was great as a quieter area for older guests to relax and chat in comfy chairs. The bar in the function room is well positioned and kept guests involved in the party, instead of drifting off to the main hotel bar as can happen in many venues.
The quality of food for both the wedding breakfast and the evening was excellent, our guests were very complimentary about the food!
It’s been a pleasure to deal with James and the team and I can thoroughly recommend Rowton Hall as a wedding venue that hits the mark. Special mention to Amy our Wedding Coordinator who was fantastic and made the day go without a hitch!
