Nice house, noisy location
We didn't stay here to visit Chester, as we were staying for a wedding nearby, so I can't comment on it's convenience to Chester, other than to say that two of our group ran to Chester, along the canal opposite the house (worth a walk as it's very pretty), and figured they had run about 5km. So that gives you an idea of how close you are to Chester itself.
The house itself is lovely, clean and has very spacious bedrooms. Beds are comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we could have needed. Dawn was very quick to respond when I called her with an issue, and happy to help us make the most of our stay.
It is on a very busy main road, which isn't clear from the listing. For us, living in a very quiet village, the noise, and the shaking of the beds when a lorry went past (frequently), was a bit too much to aid a good night's sleep - adding to that, we were in the middle of a heatwave and so needed windows open. We both slept with earplugs, and still it was an issue.
There were eight of us staying, and as spacious as the bedrooms are, the downstairs living/dining area is not. The sofas would sit 6 at best, although the dining table would seat 8 of us. I can't see how it could be comfortable for any more people than that. There are two bathrooms, and so four of us used downstairs (which is a large room) and four upstairs, which is very small, to be honest. Thank goodness we were family, as I cannot see how it could be nice to share with strangers. The outside space is simple, but there were enough seats for 10 people.
I don't want to fault the house, but I do feel these downsides need to be mentioned, to be fair to people wishing to book here in future.
