On our 25th wedding anniversary last year, we stayed at Peckforton Castle. It is that beautiful, castle hotel, that was in the news after a disgruntled groom set fire to it.

I just looked on laterooms.com and there are some dates costing only £75 for a twin room with breakfast. (we only paid £59 last year for both of us.)

It was an experience of a lifetime for us, and still can't believe that we stayed there. There is a birds of prey centre just outside the castle entrance, and peacocks roam the grounds. (looking at their website they now have animals there including meercats.)

If you go on the Peckforton Castle website, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on image gallery, there's lots of photos.

I don't know how near to Cheshire Oaks the castle is.

I thought It has burnt down?

15min drive max

Continuing to say, we didn't have to pay for any of the experiences to meet the birds of prey, you could just meet them in their outside enclosures.

We didn't have an evening meal at the hotel, (we actually went to a McDonalds in Chester ) but the buffet self service breakfast was scrumptious, with a great variety to choose from.

They've rebuilt the damage. I could have cried when I saw on the news what that crazy man had done.

Hello sammy wheeler...long time no see, nice to see one of the old gang still around. How's married life treating you? Was my 1st anniversary a couple of weeks ago, can't believe where that time has gone!

Hiya, I live by Cheshire Oaks (my daughter works there).

If you wanted somewhere cheap there is a Travel Lodge which has not long opened on the Coliseum which is right next to Cheshire Oaks. There are lots of restaurants (Prezzo, Miller & Carter, Bella Pasta, Nandos, Frankie & Bennys, Chiquitos ect).

All of these are within walking distance so you wouldn't need to drive if you wanted to have a drink or 2 :beer: .

The new Marks and Spencer is open now aswell.

Cheshire Oaks are doing the tree lighting on the 15th Nov.

I'd second this! The new travel lodge is perfectly situated for this. Plus loads of choice of really good places to eat.
