Definitely would recommend

Fantastic location and the little Asda (petrol station) was ideal for a nice bottle of wine

Everything was perfect

5.0 / 10.0

OK for location but needs an upgrade.

Location was quite good to get to places but was noisy in front bedroom as it's on a main road.

The room layout was unusual as the kitchen was downstairs and the living room was upstairs, so we had to go up and down for drinks, etc. Bedrooms were dusty with cobwebs. Bathroom in need of TLC ,grouting mouldy, etc. Courtyard outside, not private, as when in the kitchen having breakfast or meals, the shop owners come past to put things in the courtyard storage area outside and could see straight into the kitchen, which was unexpected.

Centre of Chester

Central location near river and city centre, everything walkable. Lots of facilities right on the doorstep. Good central heating.

House has had high use and was a bit worn in places. No facilities for recycling.

9.0 / 10.0

Perfect flat for exploring Chester.

Excellent location for Chester city centre and races.

Adjacent to a busy road. Avoid using the front bedroom unless you really need to or don't mind waking up early.

7.0 / 10.0

Was good house for two night in fantastic location to city centre.

Central location and good value for money compared to others around. Nice to have a few basics like tea, coffee, washing liquid for us so this was very handy.

We didn't need to cook but if we did we would struggle as not a lot of cooking equipment. Not enough forks for the amount of guests. A few areas such as door and tiles in shower could do with a bit of TLC.

Comfy and would stay again

The location was great, lovely café next door were we had breakfast cobs. The food was all locally sourced and tasty. We also had picnics made up for us when we went to the Zoo.. well worth the money. Lots of places to eat, we had Chinese takeaway after visiting the Zoo as we were there for the opening and closing. We had a Italian one night and the next we had Thai... all very tasty and good service

1 Room is on the busy road side. There is a pedestrian crossing which at school time in the morning was going mad 7.30 onwards. Ear plugs would work

Fab location and a cracking wee house

The location was brilliant, you're just across the bridge from the city centre. There's a great wee play park across the road and an Asda garage across the road for all the wee bits you may need like bread, milk and loo rolls etc. There was a parking pass for the pub across the road which was very handy. Difficult to get parked there on Saturday night but that's ok because the on street parking restriction isn't in play from Saturday night to Monday morning 8am. The house was really clean and the beds comfortable. Shower pressure was fine and the water was really hot.

Could have done with more loo rolls for 5 people staying, we had to buy some. Only one black bin bag. Cheese grater is so blunt it squashes cheese and has definitely been dropped a few times, they're about £2.50 or something so definitely look at buying a new one. No bin bags in the small bins. Front windows need some tlc, they don't close very well. Middle bedroom needs darker curtains or the blackout blinds like the other two bedrooms.

Fantastic location for Chester sightseeing

The location was fantastic only a short walk into town for sightseeing and local restaurants. The parking set up is good and was low hassle. There is a well stocked Asda express at the petrol station only 1 min walk away The communication was really fast and checking in and out simple to follow. Massive tv with streaming was brilliant.

As others have said the bathroom is functional but not much more, water pressure was good but set a but too hot for us so had to be careful not to turn up too much. The kitchen is downstairs was well equipped but a bit too small for us to eat as a family if 4 comfortably although fine for breakfast as we did not all wat at the sane time so we just ate out more than we had planned. Mattresses in bedrooms were ok but could do with replacing, we slept OK but we had busy days so very tired when we got home.

Very good

Location and size of rooms were great. Had a fab time

The lounge had a smell of cigarette smoke from previous guests and as a non smoker not so enjoyable. I’m sure it’s been aired out since and other than that it was fantastic and perfect for what we needed

Would stay again

Brilliant location, very short walk to centre. House was clean and inviting on arrival. Beds super comfy with nice pillows and bedding. Huge TV was a bonus. Owners kept in contact

Downstairs kitchen. But we did know beforehand and didn't hinder as much as expected

Great location but could use some love and care

The location was great. It was a quick walk into Chester and just over the bridge to the Roman walls. A Co-op supermarket is one minute away. Parking in the pub car park worked well.

Whist the property was well appointed in terms of bedrooms and kitchen etc and is clean on the surface, I agree with some of the other previous comments - there was something all over the radiator in the kitchen, the electrical cord in the bathroom was filthy and the skirting boards need a though clean. Overall it needs a proper proper clean over and above what the cleaner would do after each stay. in addition. small things like not writing the internet access name and password in the info booklet (you have to search for it and need a magnifying glass), 2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 people for 4 nights and a proper sized saucepan for cooking pasta all add up. Also the mattresses are uncomfortable- it reminded me of my backpacking days sleeping on cheap bedding with the springs creating a lumpy uncomfortable sleep. If a few extra hours were spent giving this place a deep clean and some general maintenance, it would go a long way.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the property, great location, would definitely stay again.

The location of the property was amazing just a short walk into Chester town centre and you can go along the river, which is beautiful.

The road we were staying on because of its central location you could hear passers by at night - not lots of them but some, but the property only has single glazed windows. Would not stop us from saying again though.

Wonderful, cozy, relaxing weekend of Xmas markets and movies with friends.

Location was perfect; especially with parking space. Property was clean and cozy.

The only thing that could be improved is the living room seating arrangements; property has 3 double bedroom, so can accommodate 6 people, but the living room can only comfortably accommodate 4. Maybe worth considering swapping one sofa for a corner suite or add some adult beanbags.

Great family stay, lovely house, great location

The house was lovely - spacious and welcoming. Really well furnished and lots of handy extras such as hairdryer, ironing board, prosecco glasses. 10 minute walk straight up into town and back. Car parking near and easy to access with the pass. Even the short 30 min parking outside the house is handy for loading/unloading. Nice cosy fire (although very hard to light due to missing ignitor knob). Great shower - hot and powerful. Blinds as well as curtains to block the daylight in the morning.

There isn't much at all but attention could be paid to very small things in terms of cleanliness. Overall great and bed linen/towels were brilliant. Other than the tiny bits below, it was spot on. The bathroom light pull chord was in need of changing, due to the location of the plastic pull being literally on top of the hot radiator, we had to use the chord to use. The radiators (especially the kitchen one) needed a wipe down. Splashes, dust build up. The wooden front bed window is really dilapidated due to condensation and there is a crack in the pane where it opens so we didn't like to open it to help the situation with condensation.

Communication throughout was fab. Location unbeatable. The fact you could park your car near by for free- brilliant. Property was clean and had everything you needed. Tea and coffee items were even supplied, brilliant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and liked being able to come and go as convenient.

The locastion was very good for walking to the middle of town. Some noise at night but not much and only one room affected. Ideal for 4 people, 3 double rooms cater potentially for 6 people but would be cramped. Kitchen facilities good and comfortable lounge. We liked being able to come and go and relax at the house.

Sitting in kitchen was cramped but we managed. Windows difficult to open, probably need attention. We needed a street plan of Chester, a plan and some brochures would have been good. Please could folder about the house be left on the table rather than in a drawer. We didn't find the Wifi code until halfway through stay!

6.0 / 10.0

great meeting point, ideally located for Chester city, great little local shops/spa and cafe literally underneath yo

good sized bedrooms and location

single glazed windows at the front of property meant it was very noisy of a night especially with the pedestrian crossing right outside the window. mattress wasn’t great however this is all a matter of opinion, could be the most comfortable for someone else. we was informed before hand that there had been a leak in the kitchen that morning and unable to decorate until it had dried out, however upon arrival it appears this leak had happened sometime ago and ceiling was bone dry with flaking ceiling paint, but like the rest of the property it could do with a freshen up and kick of paint. however would not stop me from staying here again. have posted up photographs.

Excellent location. Incredibly attentive and helpful hosts. Clean, spacious apartment with all the amenities you need - there was even a highchair for our toddler!

Nothing - was all great but bring a teatowel if you're staying as none provided.

5.0 / 10.0

Unpleasant in every way.

It was close to a shop and parking was arranged with a pub nearby.

It was not the easiest to locate the property. The property was not clean, there were hairs that didn’t belong to us in the beds, on the floor, everywhere. The wooden floors in the hall and kitchen were sticky and unclean. No tissue paper or kitchen roll was provided, the only toilet was not flushed properly, stuffed with tissue paper and the toilet flushing mechanism didn’t work. We had to resort to using the mop bucket to flush the toilet for the first night which was difficult for a party of 6, 3 of which were young children. The owners came to see if they can resolve it and show us how to pull the lever in the tank but it broke again at the next flush. They said they couldn’t do much because it was a weekend but I know there are emergency plumbers that they could have gotten to repair it. Plumber came the next morning, went to but the parts to have it fixed but when we returned, the problem was still there. So for our two nights stay, the toilet was flushed with a mop bucket. They could have done more to help us or even given us a discount for the inconvenience but we didn’t even get as much as compassion, we were just told there was nothing they could do.

9.0 / 10.0

Perfect

Location couldn't be faulted, 5 minutes from Chester centre, lovely house with gorgeous historic details and beautifully decorated and furnished, very comfortable, good wifi. Well equipped kitchen. Free parking a big plus although we did have some issues with this (see below). Good communication from hosts.

Our only issue was parking in the pub car park. There is a permit for this and fantastic to have free parking so central in Chester. But we did have problems getting the chain off as the car park entrance is chained up from 11.00pm to 3.00pm, there is a key box for the key to the padlock. The padlock was rusty and it took us many attempts, making us 15 minutes late for our planned activity that day so that was stressful and I thought we were going to have to get a taxi, and I was worried about getting in and out of the car park after that, but we continued to park there because of the savings and convenience. Also, with 3 double rooms the house would benefit from having an extra toilet or bathroom. 4 ladies sharing one and trying to get ready was a bit tricky! This is the only reason I wouldn't book again and the only reason I rating of 9/10 instead of 10/10.

Chester is well worth visiting. Amazing buildings.

The location was excellent for walking into Chester which is a beautiful place . The kitchen was sufficiently equipped ( maybe a pair of scissors) . Our bed was very comfortable.

The bathroom was basic and probably not sufficient if 6 adult guests staying there
