Historic Grade II listed - sleeps 4 Welcome to this fabulous Grade II listed 2 bed cottage in the heart of Chester city centre was initially built for staff of Browns of Chester Department Store c1889. Comprising 1 king bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, a lovely shaker style kitchen & a small private garden, this is a really lovely property. If you are looking for a city centre experience, this is the place for you! Beautifully presented with all amenities and near to all of Chester's local attractions, you won't be disappointed! A beautifully decorated 2 bedroom terraced cottage off Commonhall Street, centrally located in the heart of Chester. Stylish and cosy, this is a superb property for your Chester stay! On the ground floor there is a cosy living area downstairs with a wood burner, this leads to the kitchen/diner where you will find a beautiful shaker style kitchen and a dining room. There is also a good enclosed yard to the rear. Upstairs you will find a lovely master bedroom with wrought iron King size bed and built in wardrobe, a full modern bathroom with a shower over the bath and a further good sized second bedroom with 2 single beds. Whether you are planning a romantic getaway or a family vacation, this property is the ideal choice for you. With its location in Chester city centre and its array of shops, restaurants and attractions, this property provides you with the perfect base to explore all that this beautiful city has to offer. There is no parking on site but there is parking at Linenhall Car Park a short walk away which is around £6 for a 24 hour period. The property is located within a short walking distance of all the popular shopping areas in Chester and many fantastic restaurants and coffee shops on Watergate Street. 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.

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. ##### Christina W.
