Hosts Andrew and Barbara meet us at their beautiful cottage on arrival. They had left a generous welcome food basket and milk and butter in the fridge. They always replied swiftly to any questions we had before our stay too.

We had a wonderful time at Douglas cottage. The location for all that Chester has to offer was right on the doorstep.The house was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay.Andy and Barbara are fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be staying at Douglas cottage again (if available) on our next visit to Chester.

I just wish more places would adopt the same approach as these owners, who were there to show us the ropes on arrival and had thought of everything. The cottage is a real gem, very clean, thoughtfully equipped and the beds supremely comfortable. It was the prefect base to enjoy 4 nights in Chester.

We had a wonderful week in Douglas Cottage. We loved the fantastic basket of goodies provided on our arrival. The Cottage was beautifully presented and in spotless condition. Beds and furnishings are very comfortable and every need is provided for. A quiet peaceful place to return to and relax in the evenings. Excellent, would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Chester.
