    Forget visiting the historic sites in the town centre – when you stay at the DoubleTree you’re already in an 18th-century landmark. This restored manor house is near attractions including Chester Zoo and the racecourse. But with 12 acres (5ha) of landscaped grounds to explore, you might not make it off site. And there’s plenty to do here: get a massage in the spa, stroll around the walled gardens or enjoy afternoon tea with scones and jam at the Garden Room & Terrace restaurant.

    Built in 1622, Ye Olde Kings Head boutique is a charming Tudor-style property built during the Stuart period. While the building is ancient, the amenities in its seven rooms certainly are not. On the bottom floor there’s a wood-beamed pub with a private dining room. Make sure to get both dinner and breakfast here as the menu is to die for – try the fluffy pancakes with maple syrup.
