Lovely place and full of quirks - some are charming and make you giggle (stairs and plumbing arrangements), others not so (noise from the bar in a first floor room and ). Glad we stayed and the food was good.

A great stay in a great atmospheric inn. Really central for all the sites. A wee bit noisey in the early morning from deliveries to local businesses but not unexpected for somewhere so central in a pedestrian zone.

This is a historic hotel inside the city walls in Chester. It was built in 1535. The lobby pub and restaurant were unique with great atmosphere. Elderly people will have great difficulty using the steep stairs to the 3rd level rooms, but we enjoyed this hotel greatly!!

We only stayed for 1 night as we were attending a function in Chester. Did not spend much time in the pied bull. The room and service was exactly what we needed for our trip.

An impromptu stay but The Pied Bull was a lovely place. Lovely warm room, basic decor but excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious . Would definitely go back.

4/10

Food and drinks ridiculously over priced. Was advised a local park at £8.80 overnight. Actually was £16.50 overnight parking. It’s an old building and the section we stayed in had sloping floors. Great central location for other bars and restaurants though.
