I can't be around myself, so I have a husband and wife team, Tom and Rachael who manage things locally.

Chester is one of Britain's most popular places for an unforgettable short break. The ancient city is a truly breath-taking experience. Each chapter of Chester's history is etched into the very fabric of the city. You will walk where the Roman Legion marched to war, Viking raiders wreaked havoc and Norman invaders conquered Anglo Saxons! Chester has the most complete city walls, the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000 year old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the one and only 700 year old Rows galleries where shopping is a double delight. You'll find shops galore offering the hottest fashion in Chester all set against a background of unique treasures of antiquity and a vibrant café culture where outdoor dining and people watching go hand in hand. Make time too for Chester Zoo, the most visited UK attraction outside London and home to 21,000 animals from 500 different species in acres of glorious gardens or slow the pace down and explore the city aboard an open top bus tour.

In central Chester everything is within walking distance, however Chester has very good bus routes and taxi services if needed.
Rail and road travel is also easily accessible here, with great train services to Liverpool, Manchester & further afield.
If you are bringing your car there is easy access to main motorways and also good routes to North Wales, Liverpool & Manchester.

We have travel cots and high-chairs available (free of charge but subject to availability). No linen is provided for the travel cot. They are not kept on site, so please advise us in advance if you need these for your visit so that we can endeavour to ensure they are provided in time for your arrival. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate last minute requests for these items.

Christina W.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is great, but the space is very small and has not had a thorough cleaning in some time. The TV didn’t work, there is no king sized bed, the room with twin beds is tiny, with barely a foot and a half between them. We were also tasked with putting out the trash bins from the previous week for collection, which is a bit much considering the price. We stayed for 2 nights.

Great location

Super cosy home in a great central location within the city. Very close to all amenities. Lovely cute property and suited a family of four. Unlike other central Chester properties we have stayed at previously, this property is in a very quiet location. Five Stars
