The space
This spacious and newly refurbished 3 bedroom house can sleep 8 people comfortably and is the perfect retreat for families.
The house has been kitted out with Children in mind and includes a high chair, travel cot, toys, bunk beds, DVD's and more! All the bedrooms have recently been decorated along with a brand new bathroom, downstairs toilet facilities and kitchen (the full bathroom has a shower/bath combo).

Also enjoy some outdoors time at the back of the house, which is perfect for listening to the animals (yes it’s that close), eating a meal, or enjoying the beautiful summer weather with a game of chess.

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.
