  • "We were very surprised to find there was only a very small amount of toilet roll in one of the bathrooms (less than a quarter of a roll) and no toilet roll in the other bathroom."

    The seating area in the kitchen was too small to seat 5 of us (4 max). One of the single beds was very uncomfortable. The downstairs bathroom was tiny and the shower unusable.

The property

Boasting sensational views across the River Dee and Chester skyline, Ivy Cottage is a delightful Georgian detached property ideally located close to all the excitement of the city centre.

Set over three floors, this inviting residence is perfectly placed for enjoying all that Chester has to offer, ideally suited for a family or group looking for an action-packed break.

Internally, the property has been recently redesigned in a reverse level layout, having a loft-style open-plan living area on the second floor which takes full advantage of spectacular elevated views.

The well-equipped kitchen offers all you could need for a short break away, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and a fridge/freezer, allowing you to rustle up some home-cooked feasts, while there is also a pull-out dining table where these meals can be enjoyed.

After eating, get comfortable on the large L-shaped in front of the Smart TV, catching up on your favourite shows whilst the faux fire provides a gentle warmth to the room.

As the evening comes to a close, walk down to the first floor to find a double bedroom, elegantly presented in neutral tones, while across the landing is the stunning bathroom, fitted with a lavish double-ended bath and a walk-in shower cubicle, so you can best decide how to prepare for the day.

From this level you can access the characterful champagne terrace, complete with patio furniture that offers a relaxing spot to enjoy an evening drink.

The ground-floor occupies two further bedrooms, including a double and twin, along with a compact shower room.

The enclosed courtyard features further outdoor seating and leads to the off-road parking space for one car.

Chester is a fine city to enjoy a family getaway; from the door there is a superb selection of shops, ranging from convenience stores, supermarkets (Waitrose is just a short stroll away) and high-street shops, accompanied by a plethora of quirky cafés, fine-dining restaurants, cosy pubs and fun-filled bars.

Brush up on local history by exploring the walls and the Cathedral, by visiting the amphitheatre of Roman times, as well as by shopping in and around the famous Tudor Rows, home to a quality selection of independent shops and boutiques.

Sunny afternoons can be spent strolling alongside the River Dee, in Chester Meadows or enjoying a picnic in Grosvenor Park.

Why not plan a visit to the renowned Chester Zoo, home to 35,000 animals and 128 acres of zoological gardens, promising a great day out for families?

Further afield the natural beauty of North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park awaits, where you can find a wide choice of outdoor activities or take off in other directions to explore Liverpool and Manchester, which are both easily accessible from the train station.

Ivy Cottage is a substantial property for families to enjoy, whatever of time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

CHESTER

Liverpool 17 miles; Manchester 36 miles.

Chester has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including excellent shopping in and around the famous Tudor 'Rows' and lovely walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee and through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. Explore Chester's beautiful medieval cathedral, visit Chester Racecourse or spend a day at the world renowned Chester Zoo. Further afield, the stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, the quaint market towns and villages of Cheshire and the Wirral Peninsula with its first class golf courses, are all within easy touring distance, whilst frequent rail services make Liverpool, Manchester and the North Wales coast readily accessible.
