Hotel Review
Carden Park Hotel, Tilston, Cheshire
WHAT WE LOVE...
Deep in the south Cheshire countryside, but just 13 miles from the more urban attractions of Chester, Carden Park isn't so much a country hotel as a full-on resort. Drive through the entrance gates, flags fluttering either side, and a one-mile, winding drive takes you through parkland and a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course to the main building. A vast, modern-day affair, first opened in 1997, it's surrounded by a 1,000-acre estate that offers plenty of scope for all kinds of outdoor activities. Even if you've been before, there's bound to be something new on offer next time - they always seem to be dreaming up extra ways to keep the guests entertained, whether it's a state-of-the-art new spa or an adrenaline-pumping aerial obstacle course.
THE DETAILS
Location
Sandstone Ridge nearby is beautiful - a dramatic slope with a couple of castles, great walking and far-reaching views over the plain.
The hotel is on its own 1000-acre estate within easy reach of the M6. It is half an hour from Chester's shops and restaurants.
By car: The hotel is 4 hours 30 mins from London and 90 mins from Manchester. Parking is available on-site.
By train: Crewe Station has direct links to London and Manchester and is 30 mins away in a taxi. thetrainline.com
Style & Character
The hotel's broad appeal means it attracts a wide range of guests, including couples, families, groups of friends and corporate colleagues. The Carden Library is a cosy little corner, designed in period style with wood panelled walls, antler chandelier and an open fire.

If all those activities wreak havoc with your hair, it's no problem - just book an appointment at the in-house hair salon.
