For The Boathouse Inn & Riverside Rooms, travellers highlight the peaceful riverside setting near Chester’s centre, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms with character, while noting occasional heat or noise, limited parking, and some maintenance or cleanliness lapses.
Many enjoy the outdoor seating and the short, pleasant walk to the city through Grosvenor Park. Rooms feel modern and cosy, though several face the car park with limited views, and some guests report weak WiFi or TV and south-facing heat without air conditioning. Breakfast and pub meals are widely praised, but service can be slow or disorganised at busy times. Expect a charming riverside stay with a pub vibe and a few practical trade offs.

Riverside pub-restaurant with outdoor seating is a highlight, and on-site free parking is appreciated but limited and sometimes confusing. Some report EV chargers not working, waits for a bar table, and unclear guest check-in signage.

Scenic riverside setting with a quiet feel and a short, walkable route to Chester’s attractions via Grosvenor Park or the city walls. A few note the uphill walk from the river can be steep.
