Scott and I love to spoil each other by booking a night or two away every now and then!
So back in August we celebrated our belated 1st wedding anniversary in Bridlington on the East Coast of Yorkshire - 3 fabulous nights and 4 glorious days in the sun!
We both felt refreshed and ready for whatever comes our way - but sad to say, within 30 minutes of arriving at the office, we both felt like we hadn't had a break at all!
Definitely time to plan our next adventure...so we decided we would go away for a night to celebrate when we first got together 4 years ago and 2 years ago, Scott proposed!
So we ended up at Heathercliffe Country Hotel in Frodsham, Cheshire - very picturous part of Cheshire set in 10 acres of farmland not far from the City Centre of Chester. The owner of hotel was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble!
We were shown to our suite which was lovely and spacious. Once we settled in, we decided we would go for a drink in the bar before getting ready for dinner. Later in the evening we were greeted in the bar and given an opportunity to have drink while deciding on what to have for dinner before being shown to the dinning room.
As we were staying over and having dinner, we were given pre-starter course which was olive, French breads, dips and olive oil with Balsamic Vinegar. Scott chose the breaded mushrooms on a bed of rocquet salad with mayonnaise while I had the breaded deep fried Brie with caramelised onion and chutney - mmm delicious!
Scott decided to have the Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding served with a selection of vegetables. I decided to have the Cajun Chicken in a Tortia Basket - once again, we were not disappointed!
We weren't going to have dessert but they had a dessert table in the centre of the room with a selection of tempting sweet and savoury options.
After much deliberation, Scott settled on the Lemon Cheesecake while I had Death by Chocolate Fudge Cake - every morsal was a piece of heaven.
Today, after a wonderful hearty breakfast, we checked out and decided to visit the City Centre of Chester.
Chester is a lovely city with beautiful architecture, designer stores and lovely restaurants / coffee shops / bars.
As it is only 1 hr 50 minutes drive, we will definite have to back for another visit!
