  Stayed as a family of 4 adults.

  Upon arrival managed to park on the main road across the road from Ivy Cottage and most days there was space to park on the road just the Friday night we had to park down the road on a side street where via the welcome book the owners had recommended trying if struggling with parking. My son managed to reverse one of the cars into the parking space which if you take it steady is manageable but it’s a bit of a tight corner to navigate at first. The house was lovely and warm on arrival and the view from the top floor is great. The ground floor bathroom is very small but handy as an extra toilet, we didn’t attempt to use the shower just took turns using the upstairs one which is lovely and powerful and that bathroom is massive…. The beds were comfy but just a bit strange upon stripping the beds at the end of the stay that the single bed mattresses are smaller than the frames, that bedroom could also do with the curtains lining as the lamppost across the road shines straight in, but a simple thing to rectify. The only issue we found was the same as a previous guest that the Wi-Fi is not up to par as we tried to cast a film onto the tv to watch one evening but it wouldn’t even load so a game of snakes and ladders it was,lol. The house is ideally located we walked into Chester which took us about 15 minutes and not far to drive to Chester zoo too. All in all a good stay.

  We were 2 adults and there was plenty of room - We thought 6 adults would be a bit of a squeeze.

  Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and white goods, and it was nice that there were little bits of handwash, washing up liquid etc left to start things off. The main bedroom was nice and bathroom was lovely and spacious. The bathroom had a film over the window so no-one could see in, and it would have been nice if the same had been done for the main bedroom. Agree with previous comments in that the downstairs bathroom is tiny (even using the toilet was interesting) and the stairs are indeed steep. Nice views towards Chester and of the River Dee but can't actually walk along river except for a very short stretch further down the road. Bus stop towards city centre is about 5 min walk away. Pub across the road doesn't serve food but has lovely views - plenty of outside seating. Convenience store and takeaways about 10 minute walk away. The Peacock pub also about 10 min walk was OK for food but nothing special - cheap and cheerful. Overall cottage nicely furnished and good location and we had a nice stay.

  Good location , we walked or took the bus so the car wasn't used, which was great.

  As long as the listing is read properly there should be no surprises, its an older property with all that entails, sash windows, replaced on ground floor but original on 1st, so some road noise, plenty of stairs, but this allows lovely sunset views from kitchen, living room and bathroom. The ground floor shower and toilet is useful but very tight as under the stairs, there is a ventilation system in constant use on the 1st floor, presume to control property moisture levels. All the above is fully explained so guests should be aware before their visit. The front terrace was a nice feature and great for an evening drink...weather permitting, parking on site or in street.Everthing seemed to be supplied, we played with the games in the eve which was great for the family. Its a nice property, not perfect, but we enjoyed our stay there and love Chester

  The Cottage was great.

  We all had a good time and the main bedroom, bed was soooo comfy. Almost to the point where i would like to ask she got it from?????????!! The cottage was very clean which was really nice to see. I will be staying here again for sure. Oh PS i think it was because of the rain and cold at the time over christmas when we were there but I would like to flag with the owner that the front gate after the entry code was inputted once the handle was turned the gate was very stiff and got stuck when trying to open. The only way of getting in was to unfortunately give it a good shove. I think it was because of the wet and the wood maybe could have swelled or dropped slightly. BUT thats all!! Kind Regards, Spencer

  The house was very clean and comfortable, suited us well and was in a good location for walking into the city and getting out and about.

  Please pass on our thanks for the Prosecco, biscuits, tea and coffee, they were appreciated - a minor detail, milk would have been useful too. We'd all come a long way and not brought milk for that much needed cuppa. Our negative points would be - one towel per person is mean, and the bed linen would benefit from being ironed!!! Lack of coat hangars, though plenty of hooks. The bathroom in the cupboard was difficult for us to use, but an excellent use of space for those who are contortionists. A bit too much unnecessary clutter. We all enjoyed our stay in Chester and it's a place to re-visit, thank you to the Sykes team for their help.
