Childwall Abbey, by Marstons Inns

3 night stay - staff very friendly, room was clean and food was good… recommend

One night stay. It's a pub with rooms above, set in a hamlet on the edge of an established housing estate. Quite noisy when we arrived - a Saturday - but had quietened down by the time we went to our room. Positives: good variety of food, the usual pub fare, but tasty and was just what we wanted. Excellent wifi. Very comfortable bed. Nice full English in the morning. Downsides? Rooms are upstairs with no lift, so possibly not for those with a mobility problem. The toilets seemed to have a mulcher, so were noisy, but not a big issue. The main problem was ventilation: the window opening was very small and it being mid-August it was very warm and stuffy. There was a plug-in fan but it was wee and was too loud to use. That said I slept well although my wife struggled with the heat. Overall a decent stay, handy for Liverpool you don't want to stay in the city.

The hotel is badly in need of refurbishment. We stayed in the Henry Irving room which was oppressively hot and noisy. Smell from the cooking downstairs was in the room all evening. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the bedding and towels spotlessly clean. Beautiful building but in need of major update.

Nice room comfy good facilities good choice of food evening meal and breakfast Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Lovely pub food and service very good, lovely surround outside the pub very satisfied for what we needed for the overnight stay

Very comfortable BUT having ordered and paid for a Full English Breakfast, I discovered on arrival that the serving time for Breakfast on Saturdays was LATER 8.30am than my required departure time: 8.00-8.15am. Arrangements were set-up for a Continental-style breakfast BUT that did not happen: staff not available until just AFTER 8.00am. So, no breakfast provided, despite payment. No refund yet ...

Lovely old building, very welcoming staff and great breakfast

A lovely stay, live not far from area and have noticed this place before. I was a bit disappointed with no heating in the room, tried to get it working but it was broken without us being notified. Staff was friendly 😊

Not enough staff and service was slow.

Character building with some original features
