Had a great 2 day stay in Ellesmere Port. Staff were brilliant and very helpful at all times. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice and eat as much as you like. We also had dinner in the hotel which was very good. We attended a show at the Civic Centre which is only 5 minutes away. The weather was very good for us and we spent some time exploring the area and sitting on the bank of the Manchester ship canal. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
