Close to Chester's scenic Groves and Grosvenor Park, this Lees tied-house nestles alongside the River Dee surrounded by rowing clubs. Open plan, refurbished in modern, clean, farmhouse style with pinewood flooring and tables. Warmed by brick-surround, flame-effect fires. Mainly food-based with some formal dining but the bar area seating is freely available for drinkers. Large windows offer fine views of passing boating life and there's even a moored barge by the patio garden for warmer weather. The accommodation block is at the rear of the car park
