Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel Cheshire

As soon as you turn into the private, tree-lined drive, you’ll realize you’ve found a special haven of peace on the outskirts of Chester.

Set within 27 acres of mature woodland and well-kept gardens, the Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel is that rare find – a warm, welcoming home-from-home set apart from the everyday world and situated less than 15 miles from Royal Liverpool Golf Club.

As a meetings venue it has everything you need, with a self-contained conference centre and 7 well-equipped meeting rooms. Weddings and celebrations are easily accommodated in the impressive Craxton Suite with views over the gardens. And if you’re here to enjoy yourself, you’ll love the Vital Health and Wellbeing Club. Take a dip in the indoor pool, give in to a spa treatment or simply relax with a coffee as you soak up the sunshine in the airy coffee lounge.

Having been sympathetically extended in 1999, the Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel is now one of the finest hotels in the north west. Bathed in natural light, all 72 hotel rooms are elegant and spacious, offering the time and space to relax and perhaps fit a little work in at the generously-sized walnut desk. All enjoy peaceful views over the carefully-tended lawns and natural woodland, while some boast original features such as leaded light windows. Warm reds and calming greens reflect the colours of the woodland orchard and rose gardens in the grounds, bringing a touch of the fresh outdoor life into your hotel room.

Dine in style at The Garden Room, our delightful hotel restaurant, which has been awarded a prestigious AA Rosette in recognition of the quality of its food and impeccable service. Settle into a snug corner of the lounge with a drink or snack, refresh with a healthy juice or coffee in the Vital coffee bar or watch the squirrels play on the lawn from the conservatory!
