About this property

Welcome to Brook Hall Hotel

Set on 3.5 acres of gardens, Brook Hall Hotel occupies a 19th-century Mock Tudor-style building dating back to 1860. Its antique-filled rooms and historic charm appeal to guests seeking a stay with traditional character. Although the hotel does not offer air conditioning or a pool, it provides free Wi-Fi, free parking, and is accessible, making it convenient for a range of visitors including families and those traveling with pets.

This property functions as a hotel, event and wedding venue, and fine dining restaurant, featuring a glass-enclosed restaurant and bar where guests can enjoy meals and drinks in a relaxed, atmospheric setting. Reviews highlight the cleanliness of rooms, attentive service from staff, and high standards in both the food and hospitality, though the style may feel somewhat old-fashioned or quirky to some. Guests have appreciated the cosiness of rooms and the welcoming, calm environment.

Located just a mile from Hooton train station and within 10 miles of the historic city of Chester, the hotel offers access to notable nearby attractions such as Chester Zoo, Royal Albert Dock Liverpool, and Liverpool Cathedral. Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport are both within a 45-minute drive, making the property a practical choice for travellers arriving by air.

Those interested in local exploration, weddings, or hosting events may find Brook Hall a suitable option due to its extensive grounds and event facilities.

I recently organised a 65th Birthday celebration for my son and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. The hospitality was first class, French chef’s Christmas Dinner was absolutely delicious and waitresses were amazing. I would definitely recommend this Hotel and my son will be staying there again when he visits family in the Wirral. Thank you Brook Hall for making our stay and special birthday party very memorable.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds. The room was cosy and the jacuzzi bath was heaven after a long drive. Every member of staff we came into contact with was very friendly and helpful.

This is a really lovely old hotel. In the country. The food is absolutely delicious. The chef was great and his cooking is impeccable. The ladies that service rooms are really lovely ladies as well. Uryania and Catherine both work very hard and their standards are very high.The rooms are immaculately clean. They replenished our teas and coffees on a daily basis and couldn’t do enough for us. The standard of cleaning is probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. They are very kind and friendly This is probably one of the best hotels that we’ve stayed in. It is a little quirky because of the old-fashioned feel but nonetheless it is very well maintained and we were very happy here for our entire day for five days

Great rooms - they were super clean and cosy, amazing location and most importantly, Helen - the owner was the best host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome with our dog Lily, who even got some free bacon! Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful night here to celebrate. I’d been a few times before and had been dreaming of the whirlpool spa bath. The room was beautiful with lovely views over the grounds, the food was delicious and the service was wonderful. We’d definitely be back.

Only spent an hour here while my friends go through last minute preparations for their wedding and to be honest I didn’t want to leave. The warmth this place gives to the contrast of the cold dark night outside is amazing. It’s mellow and calm with gentle music playing, a cosy roaring fire, the furniture is comfy and easy to relax into. The decor is soothing and not overwhelming, the texture of the lights provide a peaceful environment. Then there’s the staff, although I didn’t eat the chef was amazing, he kept coming out ensuring diners liked his food and he adjusted it if they needed…nothing was too much, the lovely lady in the bar smiling constantly and paying attention to the room often tending to customers needs before they even noticed themselves. The lady who took my friends meeting greeted everyone with a warm smile and even checked we had a drink and were okay. I assume one lady was the manager and the level of attention she pays to customers is outstanding and it really shows to the other staff who are all attentive to the customers needs and wants. I would totally come here to dine, stay or even just to have a drink and warm up. This place feels safe and comforting which is amazing when the world is very crazy and busy, it’s nice to have places of warmth and calm.

Just stayed at this lovely, welcoming hotel for one night only and wow! The owner and staff are so friendly, we felt like we were old friends! The open fire in the bar is very welcoming and the food was delicious! Served beautifully, hot and tasty. The hotel itself is full of olde world charm and the surrounding area is stunning whilst being close to all amenities. Wish we could’ve stayed for longer, thank you Brook Hall Hotel
