About The Badger Inn

Church Minshull is a small Cheshire village, the kind of place where a good pub still sits at the centre of things, and The Badger Inn takes that role here on Cross Lane. It combines a working bar and restaurant with rooms upstairs, giving it the feel of a countryside inn rather than a standard hotel.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks available in-room, and breakfast is served each morning to set guests up for the day. The restaurant and bar cater for families too, with kids' meals on the menu, and there's a garden and outdoor seating for warmer evenings. Reception operates around the clock, and concierge services are on hand for local recommendations or help planning a day out.

There's free on-site parking, useful given the village setting, and a golf course nearby for those wanting a round during their stay. Further pubs, bars and restaurants in the area mean there's choice beyond the inn itself if guests fancy exploring on foot.
