The water pressure was a real bummer. it felt like a strategic game flush the toilet or take a shower without interruption from other guests. The overall decor felt a bit dark and tired, with cleanliness issues in shared spaces, like debris on the floor during breakfast. Lounge noise was a bit problematic too, especially during busy hours. some soundproofing wouldn't go amiss when you're trying to catch some Z's. the breakfast options were limited, leaving something to be desired compared to other classic properties.

Had a fab time at The Cheshire Cat! The room felt cozy and clean. The location by the canal made for great walks. Breakfast was a bit slow, but the staff were super friendly and responsive.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Cheshire Cat By Innkeeper'S Collection. The cozy ambiance and the friendly staff made me feel welcome. The breakfast was heartily cooked, and I particularly appreciated the attentive service by the lovely Eileen. It's an overall delightful experience.

Some food selection issues.

big room with 2 large windows overlooking the beer garden. noise from traffic disturbed sleep.

Where it excels and where it fails

The location was beautiful, with lovely walks along the canal, and the staff were both friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was particularly delicious, making for a great start to the day.

Dining service was inconsistent, with slow wait times and a few items unavailable on the menu. Some dishes did not meet expectations, leaving a disappointing dining experience.

The food quality varied quite a bit during my stay. The shepherd's pie was decent, but there wasn't much lamb in it. Desserts were lovely, which was a nice surprise. Breakfast needed improvement. I ordered a full English breakfast, and although it was freshly cooked, the wait time felt excessive. On one morning, they lacked basic items like yogurt and eggs, which was frustrating. The location beside the canal was picturesque, perfect for walks. My room was clean, but the layout felt cramped. Soundproofing was good, as I didn’t hear the pub noise at night. I did experience long waits for food in the restaurant, which can be improved with better staffing during busy hours. the ambiance of the place was charming, but efficiency could be enhanced.

Lovely stay with clean rooms and friendly staff. The bar area was inviting and perfect for relaxing after exploring. Breakfast by the canal-garden was a nice touch but could use more variety.

Dining service was a bit delayed and not all menu items were available.

Free parking was a plus. Wi-fi was spotty during peak hours.

Pleasant stay with spacious rooms

The room was surprisingly spacious, with a big bed and a bright bathroom that felt cozy. I particularly enjoyed the lovely walk by the canal, perfect for an afternoon stroll. breakfast could use some organization to improve the flow, as it took longer than expected to be served.
