The Coach House Inn

The Coach House Inn is a 19th-century former coaching inn at 39 Northgate Street, in the heart of Chester. The racecourse is about ten minutes on foot and Chester Zoo roughly 15 minutes by car.

Eight non-smoking rooms sit above the restaurant, each with an en suite, a TV, a mini-fridge, an iron and free WiFi. The kitchen prepares traditional British dishes with local produce, the bar serves light bites, and themed dinner nights are held.

A full English or continental breakfast costs extra. Liverpool and North Wales are both around half an hour’s drive. It suits couples, racegoers and city-break visitors.
