Race Meetings provide a great stay in Chester - as observed by the Old Poacher!

Chester Races got off to a great start last week with the May Festival and sure enough despite the unusually cold weather a good time was had by all here at the Coach House and the other hotels Chester City Centre. It was really good to see old friends and new amongst the race goers. Many guests enjoyed our traditional Cheshire breakfast and others took lunch, dinner and even afternoon tea and left very satisfied with their stay in Chester.  Gianfranco also made sure there wasn’t a dry mouth in the place throughout the 3 day festival with his infamous cocktails

We were also delighted to welcome the famous jockeys Richard and Michael Hills for a short stay in Chester. Richard riding two winners on the first day so many congratulations to him. We were also pleased to see Colin and Roxanne from Newcastle who are old friends to us all at the Coach House but unfortunately due to us being full they had to stay in another hotel near Chester. Still it was good to see them and hopefully we can accommodate the in the best hotel in Chester next year.

The atmosphere was very good throughout the meeting especially on Friday evening with the visit of our old friends from Caldy Rugby Club. Charlie even sang to Annie a sight impossible to be missed from my vantage point!

This week sees the Press launch here at the Coach House for the Halfords Tour Series cycle race on 21st June which will pass right in front of quality hotel Chester.

So enough from me for now I’ll keep in touch.
