Tucked in a peaceful corner of rural Cheshire, The Pheasant enjoys some of the most magnificent panoramic views in the area across the Cheshire plains. Delightful 300 year old Cheshire sandstone buildings, open log fires, a flower-filled courtyard for a drink as the sun goes down… they all add up to magic.
Nestling in the Peckforton Hills, this is a rambler's and hiker's paradise. A relaxing country retreat to escape from the hustle of city life or for a quiet romantic weekend.
Whether you come to drink, dine or unwind for a few days, this atmospheric location will quickly have you under its spell!

A Bit of History
Check out Beeston and Peckforton castle and drop some coins down the 370ft deep well where legend has it that Richard II buried 100,000 marks in gold coin and 100,000 marks in other precious objects before he went on a trip to Ireland in 1399. On his return he was captured and eventually killed by Henry Bolinbroke, Duke of Lancaster (later Henry IV). Richard never had a chance to recover his treasure!
For the Sweet Tooth
As featured on the dessert section of our menu, Cheshire Farm Ice Cream is located 2 miles down the hill. There you can sample their whole range and feel extremely guilty afterwards.
