Very disappointed

The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up in the bathroom and a poor finish, curtains hanging off... The list is endless.

Lovely Stay!

We came here for the weekend for my little ones third birthday to take him to the zoo! The house was lovely, clean and homey. We all (family of four) had a brilliant time, and there’s toys and lots of dvds for the little ones. Brilliant property!

Great property in a good location

The property was quite big and had everything we needed including smart tv as a must for the teenagers. Close to train station for a day trip (or two) to Liverpool although Chester is also really good for shopping too. Recommend this property!

Birthday celebration!!

Stayed with family for my Mums 80th birthday, ideal situation for zoo only 20 mins walk to main entrance. House spacious, clean and fully equipped, large garden with plenty of seating and large table which was ideal for our party of 7 aged from 7 to 80!! Excellent email communication with/from owner William would highly recommend and will definately stay again...Thanks

Ideally placed for a visit to Chester Zoo. Within five minutes drive of local shops for milk, bread and other essentials; also an Indian take-away. This meant that we didn't (have to) take any food items ourselves. Could accommodate a large(ish) family get-together. Could book just for one night (a Saturday). Plenty of hot water for showers in the morning. Can't recollect anything we would suggest should be changed.

Visit to the Zoo

Stayed with family. It was an ideal location for visiting Chester zoo on foot. Property clean, spacious and well equipped. Very good communication with the owner who answered queries by e-mail within minutes. Clear arrival and departure information. I would definitely use this property again as well as recommend to others. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.
