The Badger Inn - A traditional 18th-century inn with seasonal dining, canal access, and individually styled rooms

The Badger Inn, a traditional 18th-century inn, is located in the village of Church Minshull, near the Shropshire Union Canal (500m away). The property features five uniquely decorated rooms-three Premier King Rooms, one Premier Double Room, and a Luxury King Suite-each named after historic pubs linked to the Hughes family. All rooms include en-suite bathrooms, free high-speed Wi-Fi, HD TVs, and tea/coffee facilities. A hot breakfast is served every morning at The Badger Inn, with options like porridge, cereals, and full cooked breakfasts. The on-site restaurant offers seasonal, locally sourced dishes, including vegetarian options and smoked haddock with spinach and poached eggs. Nearby attractions include St Bartholomew's Church (0.5 km), Marbury Country Park, and the historic city of Chester (32 km away). The inn is smoke-free and provides free parking.

Pros

The property is a short 500m walk from the Shropshire Union Canal, ideal for boating enthusiasts.

Rooms are individually styled and named, each featuring unique decor linked to historic pubs.

Locally sourced, seasonal menus offer a variety of dining options, including vegetarian dishes.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi and parking are provided for guests.

Cons

Limited room availability, with only five rooms total.

The nearest airport, Manchester, is 45 km away, requiring transportation.

“What strikes me most is the consistently high standard, from the thoughtfully designed rooms to the freshly prepared breakfast. The team's attentiveness, especially regarding dietary needs, is a real asset, and the peaceful village setting adds to the appeal. It feels like a well-run establishment that genuinely cares about its guests.”
