The owner made sure I had all I needed; he was prompt, cheerful, and polite. Groceries, fine dining, take-out, etc. are all nearby. I especially liked the charity shops where I was able to buy old books. ##### Lourdes Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Not so bad. For the price it's worth it. To be honest i found this not so bad. Yes it's old decor and in dire need of some tlc but for the price (if ave £60 a night or less) its worth it. Not worth more than that though. Its central to a good selection of shops and eat outs. I was contracting in the area so was a handy base. The owner Mike is fantastic. Incredibly helpful and always on hand if need anything. There is a small fridge and a microwave in a commin room lounge which i found helpful as i like proper milk with my tea and coffee. Dont get that in most local hotels. Comparing to local hotels, of which the standards in the area are absolutely shocking, i actually found here fairly comfortable. Would i stay here again contracting, yes. ##### Daniel Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rprend\*\* 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Owner was brilliant and welcoming, the cleaning service was unintrusive, located in a great area a walkable distance from the town centre. ##### rprend\*\* Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay Nice stay at the Bowman lodge.

But - I was making a long journey and there was no breakfast which wasn’t made clear until after the booking was made. Also despite selecting the pay at hotel option payment was taken straight away. If it hadn’t been I would have cancelled my booking. ##### Tina Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### N 24 Aug 2022 The room I was in had a faulty water system. the bathroom & bed sinks only had cold water and the shower blasted out cold or very hot water intermittently.

It's not a far trek from the railway station or the city centre. I'd not been to Chester before and from what I saw of the area, it was incredibly beautiful, with lots of conveniences available. The Guest House was nice and the owner very hospitable, giving us directions to find food after a long journey. The room itself was a comfortable size for a small double. I think it was a bit worn down in places, but it was okay; the facilities were just what we needed. Slept comfortably enough both nights there, even though the springs in the middle of the bed were a little too firm. I was happy we were given a ground floor room as we had heavy luggage we had to move around across the weekend, which saved a whole lot of struggling. As they no longer do breakfast, their dining hall is now a communal room with couches, a dining table and a microwave, with cutlery available. We did make use of the space, so we're weren't couped up in the room all the time during the evening. A couple of niggles to point out - the locking mechanism on the room door was stiff and temperamental, which could be hard to lock/unlock, probably due to age and wear. Also, on my last night, the shower flow started to play up halfway through, so had to finish up with it spluttering, might be something to look into. Overall, it was a nice experience here and recommendable for its prime location. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Clive 31 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service It was ok but a little bit far out from Liverpool , couldn’t find any where to stay in liverpool for that weekend unless you wanted to pay extortionate prices ##### Clive Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Bowden lodge Owner was very welcoming & helpful, it could do with an upgrade but it was a big victorian house so the rooms reflected that, the room was very spacious & clean & it was nice & quiet so had a good nights sleep ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon 1 Mar 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities #### Perfect location The lodge is in the perfect location on one of the main roads to Chester, only a short walk or bus ride into the city. Two minutes down the road at Faulkner Street is a little suburb called Hoole with some great bars and restaurants, perfect if you didn't want to go into town in the evening. Our room was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Mike was a hospitable and helpful host. The bed was a bit lumpy but it didn't matter too much as we were so tired after walking all day! Chester is a beautiful place, with a buzz about it, and lots of history to explore. Go there, you won't be disappointed! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7663F1D06CB8D8641F3A8E416223D1D868192B3C1646142154752.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5302E5D5C53707A0FC624E3F2A0965B55549393A1646142027151.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39882869E65D76EEF683DC31DE9FD09D84A877B41646142166779.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10B0A6A81A782B2B1F7B9F451B905CC5EEEEDCC81646142207288.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 18 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good B&B Went to Chester to help move our daughter, so just wanted b&b for the night. Clean & friendly only slight negative was there was no breakfast available but with plenty of choice nearby. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky 14 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great host and location. Travelled as a family of 3 in February for a long weekend. We arrived after 9pm and Mike the owner told us where he had left the key with a handwritten note in an envelope - lovely personal touch. The room was on the ground floor, and was quite spacious. Mike was on hand to answer any questions and advice on places to eat and what to do in Chester. There is limited car parking on the forecourt but ample free parking on the street. Recommend breakfast at the Hungry Horse pub on the other side of the street. The lodge is within 6 minutes of Chester City by car and approx 25 minutes if walking. Would stay here again. ##### Vicky Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liza 7 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay!
