The ideal location for a wedding or conference, the combination of excellent facilities and outstanding service – plus stunning views of the surrounding countryside - put this hotel at the top of every party-planner’s list.
Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing swim in our pool, dining in our fabulous restaurant, attending a business or family event, or admiring the beautiful local landscape from your elegant bedroom, you’re in the best possible hands when you spend time with us at Portal Golf & Spa Resort.
If you fancy getting out and about there’s plenty to see and do without needing to venture too far from the comfort of the hotel. Medieval Beeston Castle is a short drive away and is regarded as one of the most dramatic ruins in the English landscape. With spectacular views – all the way from the Pennines to the Welsh Mountains on a clear day – and a 40-acre woodland park, it’s a great afternoon out. Likewise, Bunbury Mill, a restored working watermill in a picturesque spot, is well worth a visit.
Cheshire’s largest area of woodland - Delamere Forest - is close by so if you’re keen to explore the great outdoors, there are many trails to follow, numerous small lakes amongst the trees to discover and a diverse range of wildlife to spot.
Lively, historic Chester is just 30 minutes’ drive, but for a taste of local life, the village at Tarporley is a pleasant 20-minute walk away and is well known for hosting markets that celebrate local artisan food producers.
