Deep in the Cheshire countryside, Peckforton’s battlements peek above the treetops. "Character is what Peckforton is all about" (The Daily Telegraph): entrance to this Grade I-listed Medieval-style castle is via its portcullis, spiral staircases ascend to bedrooms, and suits of armour guard the hallways. An overnight winter escape for two is £129 — including dinner credit and breakfast — and saves up to 45% on direct rates.
What's Included
Valid Monday-Thursday 1 December, 2022-31 March, 2023. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are £50 more
An overnight stay for two people in a Classic Double Room, with full English breakfast
£15 per person dinner credit in the brasserie, a relaxed setting in the castle’s original kitchens
It’s £30 more to eat in the 1851 Restaurant,* which serves classical French and modern British cuisine in an elegant setting (£30 per person dinner credit)
This is a non-refundable rate. Cancellations are not permitted
"We loved the place and the village. It represented excellent value for money. There are a few walks in the area and I wish we had more time to do them."
Peckforton Castle is situated midway between Chester and Crewe and is surrounded by 36,000 acres of sprawling, green Cheshire countryside
Though it has the appearance of a Medieval fortress, Peckforton Castle was built in the 19th century. In 1952, The castle was recognised by English Heritage and granted Grade I-listed status, as a building of exceptional interest and importance
The castle and its grounds have been the backdrop for scenes in "Robin Hood", "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and "Doctor Who"
The Wine Cellar is described by The Daily Telegraph as an “extraordinary” place for drinks. This circular, lantern-lit room features a bar, low barrel vault ceiling, and alcoves built into the castle wall**
Less than five minutes' drive from the hotel and sitting atop a rocky crag are the Medieval ruins of Beeston Castle. On a clear day from here, you can see all the way from the Pennines to the Welsh mountains. The English Heritage Site delves into 4,000 years of history, has a replica Bronze Age roundhouse, and 40 acres of woodland
Lonely Planet has dubbed Chester "one of Britain's prettiest town centres" thanks to its tidy collection of black-and-white timber-framed buildings. The city is 30 minutes' drive away

Chose this hotel because of the grounds and history. Unfortunately the walks were not well signposted and there was an obscure sign we found about thd history. Really sad

First time at this venue, which is hidden in woods, but from the first view of the magnificent castle, our room (up 95 steps!), the service and the food, our stay was spectacular. Room was in a turret and we could see Liverpool from the window.
What an atmospheric setting, and would definitely return if there was another similar deal on offer.

Because we were on a Travelzoo deal our room wasn’t the best, quite small and very noisy, (comings and goings with weddings), but I haven’t marked them down as other than that our stay could not have gone better.

However, furniture was knocked about more than classic antique. Bed was comfortable. Bath with shower option always nice. Mirror placed to high for me being 4'11" so could use it.

No information given about the hotel either its history or where the bar, dining room, breakfast room or times. Room lights not bright enough, no light over bathroom mirror. Advance notice should be given about the large number of stairs to be climbed to some rooms. An invoice for our stay was pushed under our room door around 11pm and woke us up. Why? It could have been given to us when we checked out. Also disappointed to have £30 pounds taken, then not taken off my drinks bill which was £30.70 which was again taken from my account, and I do not get the first £30 back for some days. I have never encountered this procedure before.

I stayed with my sister for one night and were given a room in one of the castle turrets. A lovely room but would have been unsuitable if we had been staying longer. We are both late 70s and the long trek and many flights of stairs were a bit of a challenge. Booking through Travelzoo, we were unable to stipulate any requirements.

Peckforton Castle is an imposing building in acres of woodland and the Concierge on duty was impeccable. Our room was large with a huge comfortable bed and we had a great night's sleep and a great cooked full English the following day.
There was however issues with the room which I informed the hotel about at checkout:
* The shower unit was dreadful. The shower head did not fit the wall unit fitting and needed to be held throughout showering. The head handle was also broken and had a swivel which meant the water flowed in the same direction no matter which way you wanted it to. The folding shower screen sealing strip was also faulty so water went all over the floor.
* The TV was inoperative and required retuning
* WIFI was non-existent in our room meaning we could not email nor whatsapp.
We ate dinner in the 1851 fine dining room. The ambience was nice and relaxed, the service was very good and our three courses were very tasty. However, the portions were very small, too small, my wife's main course was smaller than our starters! When it came to the dessert we chose not what we fancied, but instead what we thought would be the biggest.
We would not return to Peckforton, even if it featured in a special deal. Despite its undoubted grandeur, housekeeping for our room was clearly not up to scratch and the fine dining left us both regretting we had not ate in the brasserie. We had travelled over 100 miles to sample the Peckforton experience; but never again

It was great having the experience of staying in a castle. If you have mobility issues please be aware there are lots of stone steps/staircases and corridors to negotiate although there is a lift.

Impressed and it was not just the 19th. C grade 1 listed pastiche which is stupendous. We were kindly upgraded to a superior room, much appreciated. Staff were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the stone walls act as a gigantic storage heater so after a hot spell the room was much warmer than we would have liked. I would stress however, there is little the hotel could have done about this . Installing aircon within the confines of a grade 1 listing would be a very taxing task and therefore probably prohibitively expensive even if feasible. Food at the brassiere was freshly cooked and reasonably priced. Two minor gripes, lights in the room and especially over the bed were too low a wattage to read by, a fault shared with many hotels, the orange juice served at breakfast had a strong taste of sweeteners which otherwise was excellent

Arrived after the 4 day heatwave. Our room was rather hot with only 1 foot square window to open. This led to the alarm going off at 3.30 a.m. during our first night. Returned on the second afternoon to find a fan working overtime in the room. Our 6.30 booking for dinner on the second night mysteriously disappeared although we did manage to obtain a table. Other than these events our stay was excellent and we are already looking forward to returning - we only live an hour's drive away.

Arriving after the drive up the long approach road we turned into the car park and walked up to the castle. What a beautiful sight through the portcullis gate towards the castle. Once inside the boundary of the castle grounds the view was even better. Booking in was informal and we were shown almost to our room along the long corridor and up steps and more steps and more steps. The view from our room looked back towards the reception entrance with the tables and chairs outside inviting you to take a seat and relax. Our evening meal and breakfast the next morning were excellent.

Classic room nothing like they advertise. Had to climb up 71 concrete stairs to get to room 504.and no lift Room very dull, dingy and depressing and not very clean. Furniture was very poor. This hotel is primarily a wedding venue and wedding parties were extremely noisy and very obstructive with loud music playing into the night and on returning to their rooms had no thought for other quests. We unfortunately had wedding parties both nights. Car parking was in the woods i.e wet and muddy and a fair walk up to the reception. Breakfast was like a scrum, very noisy and almost entirely devoured by wedding guests. When we asked if they had any patisseries, we were told all gone! The grounds appeared to be looked after within the courtyard but outside of this looked to be overgrown and unmanaged. This hotel needs to let their guests know that they are primarily a wedding venue. We will not return

We booked a 1 night dinner bed & breakfast, what disappointed us the most was the amount of extra supplements on the menu which limited you to the choice of meals you could choose without incurring a sizable bill at the end of your meal i.e. the cheese board on the pudding list had a extra supplement of £10
The young staff struggled to pour most drinks from the pump in the Brasseries as it was all froth and no drink we later found out that there was a bigger bar at the other end of the castle which no staff had mentioned to us at all during our stay!!
To top it off we had a guest enter our room at 1 o'clock in the morning using the door fob key he had previously been given the day before as he had booked our room the day before!!
This was reported to the staff in the morning to there shock and horror
We would love to go back as we believe this was all just an off day

We wanted information on the TESLA chargers ,which we couldn't get . wither we needed to charge our car when we arrived or charge up on the way there . So when we got there we found that the Tesla chargers were not working. As we were staying two nights we spent our first day driving thirty miles to get the car charged for our homeward journey. Kinda ruined the whole stay.

One of the reasons we chose this venue was for the chargers . However If the reception staff would answer the phone

I asked for an accessible room with shower cubicle and despite being told I had one when we arrived we didn’t. So I phoned reception and was told that they had rooms with a shower but as it would be an upgrade she would need to get her managers authorisation. We therefore didn’t unpack and awaited the call. An hour later I called again and spoke to a gentleman who said he would chase it up and phone me back asap. Another hour passed and we needed to get ready for our meal so I phoned again and spoke to the original girl who said they didn’t have any rooms available. I reminded her she’d said they did 2 hours previously, she said she thought they did but the rooms were executive rooms and they don’t have shower last. Given that the hotel only has 12 accessible rooms is not too difficult for staff to know which ones they are especially on reception. We spoke to Paul the manager and he agreed to give us a dessert and drinks with our meal. So reluctantly I accepted the offer. However when we woke up the following morning a bill for these items had been put under our door. This was eventually wiped off. Communication was appalling and the staff who were all very very young and polite, were in desperate need of training . And given the extreme heat that we’ve all endured in recent weeks the rooms should have come with fans as standard instead of having to ask for one. I’ve never experienced heat like it in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in even on safari. Once small fan was simply not adequate and I ended up having to wet a towel and our with that over me. The castle is beautiful, the meal was nice, the wine cellar music was excellent but as a belated wedding anniversary celebration due to ill health I was extremely disappointed.

We have stayed before but unfortunately the food was really disappointing this time. We paid £30 extra per night to upgrade to the upstairs restaurant to then have several dishes requiring an extra supplement. Portions ridiculously small. We chose to eat in the “downstairs “ restaurant on the second night and forfeit the supplement we had paid. I was served the most disappointing broccoli and mozzarella salad, mainly because there was literally no broccoli. I would have complained but the amazing young ladies waiting on were desperately trying to sort out a couple who were obviously having a “domestic”. Credit to them for eventually encouraging them not to return to the restaurant! I don’t think we will be in a hurry to return which is a shame as I had been so looking forward to our visit for a much needed respite. I just want to add, The staff in both the restaurants are so lovely.

Very nice place. We enjoyed our stay very much. This is an ideal wedding venue, one of which was taking place as we were there. We both enjoyed our stay, though we were on 5th floor lots of steps to climb to room.

Staying in a castle was a different experience. The room at Peckforton was comfortable and very spacious. The setting was amazing. The 1851 restaurant was great, and the food service was excellent.

Only feather bedding available. I am allergic so had to sleep on a cushion off the armchair. Receptionist said no alternative available. I think vegan guests would appreciate an alternative too.

Lovely time, nice and relaxing. Just wish that the spa was open. Would have been nice because there's very little to do there. Food was good. Drinks reasonably priced.

The hotel is specific to a wedding venue which is not advertised on the booking information.
The hotel and its grounds and amenities are all lent to the wedding parties. There was no outside seating for outside for paying general guests, it was all taken by wedding guests.
The rooms above were noisy due to creaking floorboards and loud voices late into the night.
Despite being advertised as a SPA venue, their website was not updated so is a false/ misleading advertisement. No swimming pool/Spa facilities available. Their website should read for the purpose of “Wedding packages only”

Why We Love This Deal
Deep in the Cheshire countryside, Peckforton’s battlements peek above the treetops. "Character is what Peckforton is all about" (The Daily Telegraph): entrance to this Grade I-listed Medieval-style castle is via its portcullis, spiral staircases ascend to bedrooms, and suits of armour guard the hallways. An overnight winter escape for two is £129 — including dinner credit and breakfast — and saves up to 45% on direct rates.
