Me and my friend booked to stay here on a fairly busy saturday night. The service from the moment we walked in until the moment we left was amazing! Our room was very clean. The only thing i would say is that the rooms could probably do with a re-vamp as they are quite outdated. We came down on the Sunday for a Sunday lunch. We both chose the 3 meats which was beef, pork and chicken. The portion sizes were absolutely huge and such a great value for money!! Staff were absolutely amazing , quick to serve and came to check and make sure everything was okay for us which was very nice as not many places i have visited do that anymore. Thankyou again to the Foresters for accommodating us and for 5 start service! We will definitely be returning!!

Visited this pub today hoping for a delicious meal as we had before Covid .The food was absolutely disgusting & tasteless really gone downhill unfortunately. Starters were awful as was the main meals .Definitely won't ever be back a terrible experience

A place to go if you like a hub bub of villagy noise. Pleasant staff and loud locals make this a place you treat like Marmite ! An overnight stay means you're likely to not sleep well till the early hours as the loud music continues til well after closing. Then the chatter of staff goes on til the late early hours.

(We stayed in the rooms above the pub) Fantastic accommodating staff and great room! We were able to check in early and check out late which we really appreciated as we’re staying for a wedding. Lovely welcome and host asked if we’d booked taxis for our evening and let us know helpful local information. Lovely clean room with everything we needed and comfortable. Highly recommend staying here we would definitely stay again!

Great atmosphere, really friendly and helpful staff, lady who works in the kitchen was especially helpful and really good with my autistic nephew. Food was fantastic and great sized portions, and particularly good service when you consider that we were a party of nine (plus dogs!) who turned up without a reservation. Would definitely recommend.

Booked an overnight stay, bed and breakfast. No room initially available. Eventually given one which was small, shabby and dirty. A chance comment led to us being told breakfasts were not available, though we had paid in advance. To be fair, the bar manager and barmaid, were as helpful as possible, but was an absolute disaster. I don't think we were expected at all. Shall never revisit! Bitterly disappointed we left very early Sunday morning, without even a hot drink. The cups on the hostess tray were stained!

This could be a great pub in a great location but unfortunately it's a less than average pub in a great location. Barely acknowledged when ordering a very expensive and very average pint and not the best of vibes inside, I stepped into the beer garden to enjoy the rattling of the air con units and dodge the wasps near the empties. Trying to enjoy my time as much as possible, I supped in disappointment on my beer and sat and admired the 2 hanging baskets whilst earwigging on a joke about a shepherd and a ewe. Missed the punchline, finished my pint, left and reflected.

Dirty, smelly and noisy. Absolutely appalling. I stayed on my own on Saturday night and had to fight my way to the bar through drunks to try to check in. I waited twenty minutes. I was shown up to the single room and told absolutely nothing other than if I went out late which door to use. The room was run down, with broken toilet an iron on the floor, dirty kettle, dirty curtains and a broken bathroom suite under the sink. The room absolutely stunk of fried food coming up from the kitchen underneath and stale beer. It was horrendously noisy with noise from the drunks downstairs and children running and screaming in the corridors that the room was in. Loud music was playing and there was a busy main road outside. Expedia do not put any of this on their description. The television kept breaking up with picture and noise. This whole stay was the most awful experience I have ever had. I tried to find somewhere else but everywhere was booked up that night. I was very tired as I had been with my daughter all day competing her horse so I gave in and stayed. To top it all the internet was some weird process of getting on to which was not easy. I was charged £75 with no breakfast. I got up really early and left really early as I could not wait to get out of the place. It was disgusting.

I stayed here on 18th September 2022 for one night. The room was warm, and bed comfortable, the tea making facilities were excellent. Also there was a tray with bottles on and a small fridge. The Sunday roast was tasty and the breakfast excellent. The only negative thjng was normally bar staff knock the tv standby off but this did not happen and standby flashed amber to blue which was distracting. So check with staff thie tv is off. Otherwise, a very comfortable stay and will stay again.

Vast selection of drinks, food was excellent. We eat an evening meal and had breakfast. The room was comfortable. An added bonus was the resident only sun terrace/balcony.

Having a child with SEN needs makes you judge places like this in a vastly different way. With 3 children to navigate around a popular children’s destination as a lot of families do, it’s crucial and very considerate of the location to offer some support/adaptations to the experience to make it inclusive to all parents and children. My eldest son of 6 has complicated genetic issues and strong autism characteristics. Sadly cheshire ice cream farm failed on this miserably. There were zero provisions for autistic children or children with differing issues. Small things like being able to go on rides without queuing for half an hour which is impossible for my son and a lot of similar children makes the experience better for all. In other parks around the world this is widely accepted as we’ve experienced and most other parents are generally understanding. Whether we were queuing for rides or snacks and ice cream, it was hugely stressful for my son who doesn’t understand we have to queue. No staff of parents offered to let us go first and it became increasingly stressful and we felt like a hindrance rather than being welcomed and able to relax and enjoy the facilities like everyone else. The arcade area of the restaurant that my son would have enjoyed to calm him down was up some stairs which would have limited access for any wheelchair bound children wanting to use this facility. It was also years 7 and under. To which we were told because my son was 6 he would have to leave immediately. And as the room was a welcome rest item for him this only added to the stress for us as he wanted to stay and play for 5 minutes. Safe to say we won’t be returning to Cheshire ice cream farm anytime soon and urge any other parents of SEN children to do the same.
