Holiday in Chester.

We couldnt have asked for better weather, it was 22 degrees on some days, we sat by the river for hours enjoying the scene. But first of all lets start with the hotel.It was called The mill hotel and spa, and it spanned two sides of the Shropshire Union Canal.

The canal boat belongs to the hotel and does wining and dining, casino tours, afternoon tea, its very popular.

Gary enjoying himself sitting by the river by the Blue moon , we both had Cafe Lattes and soaked up the sunshine and watched the World and the Boats glide by, the gulls were screaming overhead, so picturesque by the waters of the River Dee.

This beautiful bridge apanning the river dee, too good not to take a photo of, as Mr Stanyer did, because he loved the view, nice photo Gaz.

Great enteretainment watching the actors giving the children History in real time as roman centurions, the re enactment was funny as well as historical.

Another centurion inspiring these children to join the roman legion.

The next few photos are of our room , just because it was so lovely and worth every penny for this luxurious treat.,

It was the most lovely room   

      In the hotel was a spa, beauty treatments a pool a Jacuzzi and an excerscise gym. We used the pool and the Jacuzzi, very good for me as I dont like water but Gary gave me the confidence to take my feet off the bottom of the pool, and I enjoyed it. 


No not me, but the pool is lovely

Now for the best Pub ever , recommended by Dan who had been there and gave us instructions where to find it, we couldn't have found a more scenic pub, with the most marvellous views over the river Dee, good ale, and outside decking to sit on with beach huts.

All the photos above are taken either outside or from the picture window inside The Boathouse Pub alongside The river dee.

These last four photos are of The Grosvenor Park, look at the lovely flowers out in the spring sunshine.  

                                                 

Goodbye to the lovely Mill Hotel, this was taken on our last night in Chester, What a lovely well needed break, we had the weather on our side,m the food and  drink was wonderful, and a bit of posh was much deserved.
