Gladstone'S Library

Went there only for tea.
Visiting hours were over.
Everyone were nice and happy a part from one lady from the kitchen.
Will be back with time to see library....

Such a great place - atmosphere, very comfortable, stylish. Food is good and library is very conducive to study.

Chill out place. Located in the quiet village of Hawarden, just a few miles away from Chester is this gem of a place. It is an independent library given to the people by the great Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone who believed in education for all. It offers residential retreats, apart from a space to study or just enjoy a meal at their restaurant. A walk around the gardens is so uplifting for the soul to be in its surroundings. U can get a 15 min. glimpse into the library through scheduled arrangements by ringing them up.

I come here to work in peace and quiet. I love the old wood panelled library and the beautiful grounds. The library is silent so I can work without distraction and there is a lovely cafe for a coffee break
