The Yellow Room restaurant has rapidly established itself as a premier gourmet-dining destination. It is extravagantly furnished, creating an opulent yet relaxing candlelit ambience. Whilst enjoying an aperitif, guests can study the menu which offers an imaginative selection of English and continental fine dining, prepared by the Executive Chef and team, and complemented by a choice of over 100 fine wines from the first-rate cellar. Guests' tables are theirs for the evening and so reservations are essential. As an alternative, the Hillbark Grill has a rather more informal and contemporary atmosphere. Or, guests can choose to relax in one of the public rooms and enjoy afternoon cream tea or, perhaps, champagne and caviar. Private dining rooms are also available. Bed and breakfast stays include a continental breakfast.
Set in 250 acres of beautiful parkland and overlooking the scenic Dee estuary across to the hills of North Wales, the hotel's characteristic appearance hides a fascinating history.
