The Experience

The sandblasted brick walls of this famously dog-friendly old schoolhouse rise to raftered, vaulted ceilings and large windows pull natural light into every corner. Shelves of gin hover above fat radiators, cartoons and photos nestle amongst old school paraphernalia, and oriental rugs sprawl beneath an auction lot of tables, pews and chairs.

The glorious carved oak bar dominates the main hall and apart from the malted charms of Cholmondeley Best Bitter and other local cask ales; a staggering 366 varieties of ruinously good gin to discover, with the aid of a well-thumbed guide or one of the charming staff. Study the many events on blackboards while sharing a traditional pub and seafood board followed by their legendary steak and kidney pie.

Rooms in the old headmaster’s house behind are calm and civilised with all the comfort you need. Gin tastings can be booked on Saturday afternoons.

Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We did have a few issues which were quickly sorted out and we really recommend both eating and drinking there in a great atmosphere. Breakfast was very good too.

Elizabeth, Earith, Huntingdon

The Cholmondeley Arms is a delightful group of buildings set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. The newly renovated rooms in the Headmaster's House, have been updated to provide very comfortable and attractive accommodation with the added advantage of having a warm welcome from the pub next door. There is a wealth of activities in the area and there should be plenty to suit everyone.

Location

The neighbourhood

The road winds through Lord Cholmondeley’s estate - open countryside, parkland and some Longhorn cattle. There are many small towns nearby for exploring and you can walk to a farm shop in 20 minutes, also a beauty salon for a spot of pampering. Visit Burwardsley (15 minutes in the car) for an art hub for a coffee with views, or Alderford lake (11 minutes) for a stroll or a wild swim.
