Owners met us personally at the house and were flexible with timings. We had a tour and they explained how the appliances worked. Welcome hamper along with milk, bread and butter provided which was a lovely touch. Really well equipped kitchen, all bathrooms had soap and plenty of towels to use. Location is very central within walking distance or a bus or train to a lot of things to do. When we left my daughter realised she’d lost a ring. Owners found it when cleaning and went above and beyond to return it to her. Would highly recommend this property for a break in Chester.

The house had all modcons while retaining lots of original architectural features. It was great being near the centre of town, grosvenor park and the river. Andrew and Barbara were very welcoming. I would definitely stay here again.

Douglas cottage is a beautiful property & is decorated to a very high standard. The owners Barbara & Andy greeted us & showed us how things worked. They left us a basket of food items & milk & butter which was a lovely gesture. The beds were very comfortable & the whole property was extremely clean. We had a fabulous stay.

This quirky and lovely home is exactly as described in the ad. The hosts Barbara & Andy met us on arrival, gave us a tour of this special holiday home and really made us feel welcome. It is superbly located, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and so full of Barbara’s many finishing touches that we were still admiring something we had missed as we were leaving. Thank you both for providing a great base to explore Chester and beyond.

Douglas Cottage exceeded expectations. It was delightfully decorated in Georgian and Victorian styles but managed to perfectly combine historical charm with all the necessary mod-cons. The hosts, Barbara and Andrew, greeted us on arrival and showed us around the cottage and explained how everything worked. They thoughtfully saved us a parking spot directly outside the house (residents permit only) and provided us with a lovely basket of goodies. The location is absolutely ideal, about 100 yards from Grosvenor park and the river in one direction and 100 yards to the main High street in the other direction. We stayed for two nights and it was a perfect choice which allowed us to explore Chester on foot without the need to drive anywhere.Despite it's central location we were transported to another time once we stepped over the threshold and I would totally recommend Douglas cottage to anyone wanting a memorable visit to Chester.

The house is a beautiful cottage, immaculately decorated with everything you need for a stay. Andy and Barbara are fantastic hosts decorating the house for Christmas so we felt right at home and a lovely welcome basket meant we didn’t have to rush to the store. This house is a 10/10 for us.
