The Saddle Inn was absolutely fantastic! The location and accommodation were perfect for our stay. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout. You can really see the effort that’s been put into decorating the rooms and the whole place—so many thoughtful details that make it feel special. We stayed in the Megadeth room and loved it! The pub itself was great too: lovely drinks, tasty food, and really welcoming staff. We also met the landlord, and you can clearly see his passion for the place—it genuinely comes through in the atmosphere. It’s also pet-friendly, which was a big bonus for us. Just a note: if you’re not looking for somewhere very quiet (it is a rock pub, after all!), you’ll definitely enjoy the energy and vibe here. Highly recommended!

Warm welcome and very friendly throughout.. Delicious breakfast and plenty of tea, coffee, fruit juice being offered throughout. Great evening entertainment and plenty of staff serving the bar. Room well equipped with tea and coffee etc and toiletries. We felt that nothing was too much trouble. Asked for hairdryer for room and it was delivered to us within a couple of minutes. Lovely stay and we will return.

Minor thing, the rooms are great but maybe would benefit from a little freshen up as in fresh coat of paint etc BUT this did NOT affect our stay in anyway. The room was clean and comfortable and we loved the theme 😊

Staff and Owners were very welcoming, hospitable, courteous and obliging. The owners have made an amazing well considered - concerted effort in providing very pleasing and entertaining themed rooms! Lunchtime food was good...... A sandwich with sides of fries and coleslaw were tasty and perfectly filling! Breakfast provided a broad choice to meet with all palettes - Excellent and promptly delivered to the many present at the sitting! The service provided was most polite and obliging and most noticeably pandered to guests personal needs..... excellent!

The en-suites are in need of some improvement in time..... but remain adequate. The late night live music and subsequent juke box could have gone up a few more decibels without any harm to sleeping guests!!! What remains to be said is that on a very positive note..... Is that there was no intrusive audible noise emanating from the activities below!! So ALL was good!

Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and the guitar on the wall and drums for bedside tables were cool touches. The bed was comfortable and the food was superb.

I drew the short straw getting one of the rooms closest to the bar which meant quite a lot of noise beneath me, so it was very late before I finally got to sleep. Not a big deal though (it was a Friday night) and I had enough time for a lie in before getting breakfast and checking out. Would happily stay again.

Great location, close to city centre and racecourse. We were in Chester for the races and the course was only a few minutes walk away. Good variety of eating places close by. Room was large, clean and comfortable and the heavy metal theme was very quirky. Breakfast was great. Staff were all very friendly and helpful - particularly Rebecca and her lovely dogs. Great value for money given the location.

Decor in room and the bar was a little tired, but this didn’t spoil our visit and we would stay again.

The location of the accommodation was very good, a 5 minute walk to Chester’s main shops/restaurants etc. The rooms are above the main bar, we found this convenient at the end of the night and after watching an excellent rock band in this rock themed pub as we were only a flight of steps up to a lovely comfy bed. The staff at the pub were excellent especially Katie, whom we met first upon arrival and welcomed us with a big smile, the owner, Rebecca, was a lovely, kind and helpful lady who welcomed us warmly and continued to be wonderful the whole time we were there.

Everything was very good.

Themed room was superb, great attention to detail/decoration etc. The theme ran throughout the place and was constant with excellent displays. Staff very helpful and atmosphere great. Great location being only a few minutes walk to city centre & shops. Would certainly stay there again.

Car parking an issue. On Booking.Com it says you get a 20% voucher to park. This is incorrect. A number of car parks in locality but very expensive. There is an open car park just up the road for the Crown Court/University but cannot be accessed until after 4pm.

Great rock pub guest house with rock themed rooms, very quirky and something refreshingly different! The staff were lovely and welcoming, particularly Dec who was behind the bar when we arrived. Location is right on the edge of the wonderful city of Chester with free overnight parking, the rooms were clean and the bed really comfortable. Also, they host lots of gigs and events during the week, it was open mic night when we arrived and we heard some cracking voices! Also, we left our phone charger and a couple of leads in the room after leaving and they were kind enough to post them back to us, great service team! We will definitely be back.

We stayed in room 7 (Pantera!) and the shower head leaked more water than it sprayed!

The atmosphere was right up our street, it’s a quirky place with so much character and just what we hoped it would be.

Only comment I could make is that perhaps a couple of bottles of water in the room would be a lovely touch? After lots of drinks down at the bar we found ourselves upstairs with no drinks other than tea or coffee. That is our only tiny recommendation

The pub is really quirky and offers great value for money. We stayed in the small double room at the top and was impressed with the room for the money we paid. The breakfast the next morning was really good value for money. The owners and staff were really pleasant and attentive and we would have no hesitation in booking again. The location was perfect within a short walking distance.

There was nothing I disliked about our stay.
