This is a gorgeous classy country pub with rooms, which are all set away from the pub around a courtyard. We had stayed here before so knew it was good when we booked. We received a warm welcome, and the staff were attentive throughout our stay. We ate in the restaurant both nights - the food was excellent. Breakfast is great too, and all the better for it being included in the price. Beds are super comfy (pillows could be a bit plumper) and the decor of the room is tasteful. It's great that each room can control their own heating, which was efficient. Loved the bath - a great size to wallow in, even for the larger person!

There were no hooks to hang outdoor coats - a simple fix as there is ample room to add a few just as you walk into the room, outside the bathroom door. We had to leave them on the floor because whilst there is a wardrobe, who wants to hang wet coats next to your best clothes? Besides a small bar of soap, there are no toiletries provided - just a simple shampoo and shower gel by the bath would have been welcome

The Cock O Barton is a great place to stay. My wife and I just fancied a night away (we live in Chester) and chose the Cock O Barton, as we'd eaten there before. The rooms are great as is the pub. Lots of locals in. The food for dinner was fantastic, my wife had risotto and I had the haddock and chips. The batter was the crispiest I've had and perfectly cooked. A very pleasent evening with a couple of pints of Guinness and a couple of glasses of Merlot. :-) The breakfast was really good, also. You can tell it used quality ingredients. Stand out however was the staff and the attentiveness of them all without exception. The leadership team has fantastic ambassadors in the team.

There was nothing I didn't like,. I'm only writing this section because I have to write 2 or 3 sentences according to Booking.com

Just had a super overnight stay. After a long day/journey the staff were very welcoming & made sure there was a place for me to eat my evening meal in the restaurant. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, very quiet and warm. Comfortable bed & a hot shower. Excellent meal at a very reasonable price & the prosecco was cold, hurrah! Breakfast was included in the price of the room & was quite possibly one of the best breakfasts I've had in a hotel - eggs cooked to perfection, fresh fruit & proper bread. This will definitely be my choice next time I'm in the area. Just to say there is ample secure parking. A big thank you to the staff who were incredibly efficient & friendly.

Pillows needed renewing & the duvet was great for warmer weather but an extra blanket would have been great as I like a cool room

The staff were wonderful, particularly the light haired lady - always a beaming smile and such personalised and caring service given. Upon my arrival the gentleman showerd me to my eoom and offered to help with my bags. Food and drink was excellent, breakfast was delicious. Prior to my visit I got a courtesy call to see if I wanted to book a table in the restaurant which was a lovely touch. The rooms were comfortable and clean, towels and refreshments provided. The sweet treats and shampoo bar were a really nice touch. Modern decor. The signs for the door and matching artwork throughout the restaurant were so cute! The bathroom in the restaurant was utterly gorgeous. A lovely selection of beers and cask on offer, with gin, wine and so much more. A gorgeous place and I'd definitely return. The pillows were so comfortable!!

My only, very minor, qualm was that we asked for a replenishment (we got a form to tick wether we wanted refresh and replenish or just replenish, we chose just replenish) and the coffee mugs/cafetiere were not replenished. I didn't want to wash out the cafetiere in the bathroom sink. Water was refilled though.

we liked everything everything was great the rooms were great food high class

i wish they had more choice in vodkas more flavours. It was a bit noisy outside the room it woke me up it was 2am so told them to keep it down but was told to shut up this was people staying here. The staff were all great and very helpful. I know it was due to a party of people staying there and this can happen it hasnt put me off going will definitely be going back

the rooms are all on the ground floor and are very well appointed - the breakfasts in the main building are excellent quality and generous in quantity. We ate dinner there two nights out of four and the food was outstanding - the spicy seabream dish was superb. And finally the staff are genuinely nice people, considerate, helpful and professional.

I really can't find anything to pick fault with - just remember to make sure you have a refresh my room or replenish my room card completed each morning

The Breakfast was amazing - Cooked fresh to your order. The room was Great, Really nice bathroom and a good size TV with a Fan and a real comfortable bed. Nice little touch with some locally sourced hand made white chocolate and Raspberry biscuits also. Perfect for the wedding we were going to in Chester at Peckforton Castle

There was nothing that we did not like. I mean its not Cheap but then again you pay for what you get and we had great service. Great food and overall a great stay. We will definitely be returning :)

We felt completely pampered during our 2-night stay. Our evening meal in the restaurant and the breakfasts were of the highest quality. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious and luxurious; we particularly liked the location of the rooms, being in a courtyard separate to the pub/restaurant itself. All the staff were friendly and professional. They even went the extra mile by giving us directions over the phone when we found an unexpected road closure. This is firmly on our list of preferred places to stay.

Staff at the CoB were all fabulous without exception. The breakfast was great and evening food so good we ate here every evening despite visiting Chester on 2 occasions. Our room was lovely with a great bathroom. The only thing missing was a chair to be able to sit and read comfortably.

Very little really as it was mostly fabulous but we would have liked a chair in the room.

Area was lovely and the outside patio was a bonus. The inside was styled lovely. The restaurant was in the older part with low beams and a more chilled atmosphere. The staff were so nice especially Emma in the restaurant. The rooms were amazing, comfy bed and lovely furnishings.you have so many things correct here , I loved it.

Hard to think of something but at breakfast we sat at a lovely table which looked at the side of the bar. My view was of a large black container for used bottles and a cabinet for glasses which needed a clean and my huge bugbear is cloths and spays on show. As a visitor we don’t want to see this , put them out of view. Maybe a screen could be put there for the future as I am sure others will have seen it.! The clicker plug in our bath did not stay down so I couldn’t have a bath which I would have liked after a long journey. My husband is a plumber and couldn’t get it to work. Also the bathroom light goes on when you open the door which is good but not in the middle of the night.
