I was able to experience staying in a typical Victorian house. The owner made sure I had all I needed; he was prompt, cheerful, and polite. Groceries, fine dining, take-out, etc. are all nearby. I especially liked the charity shops where I was able to buy old books.

I booked my stay because I had stayed here before. But - I was making a long journey and there was no breakfast which wasn’t made clear until after the booking was made. Also despite selecting the pay at hotel option payment was taken straight away. If it hadn’t been I would have cancelled my booking.

The room I was in had a faulty water system. the bathroom & bed sinks only had cold water and the shower blasted out cold or very hot water intermittently. I had to boil the kettle to use it for a hot water wash.

I booked Bowman Lodge for its fair price and location for a working weekend. It's not a far trek from the railway station or the city centre. I'd not been to Chester before and from what I saw of the area, it was incredibly beautiful, with lots of conveniences available. The Guest House was nice and the owner very hospitable, giving us directions to find food after a long journey. The room itself was a comfortable size for a small double. I think it was a bit worn down in places, but it was okay; the facilities were just what we needed. Slept comfortably enough both nights there, even though the springs in the middle of the bed were a little too firm. I was happy we were given a ground floor room as we had heavy luggage we had to move around across the weekend, which saved a whole lot of struggling. As they no longer do breakfast, their dining hall is now a communal room with couches, a dining table and a microwave, with cutlery available. We did make use of the space, so we're weren't couped up in the room all the time during the evening. A couple of niggles to point out - the locking mechanism on the room door was stiff and temperamental, which could be hard to lock/unlock, probably due to age and wear. Also, on my last night, the shower flow started to play up halfway through, so had to finish up with it spluttering, might be something to look into. Overall, it was a nice experience here and recommendable for its prime location.

It was ok but a little bit far out from Liverpool , couldn’t find any where to stay in liverpool for that weekend unless you wanted to pay extortionate prices

Owner was very welcoming & helpful, it could do with an upgrade but it was a big victorian house so the rooms reflected that, the room was very spacious & clean & it was nice & quiet so had a good nights sleep

The lodge is in the perfect location on one of the main roads to Chester, only a short walk or bus ride into the city. Two minutes down the road at Faulkner Street is a little suburb called Hoole with some great bars and restaurants, perfect if you didn't want to go into town in the evening. Our room was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Mike was a hospitable and helpful host. The bed was a bit lumpy but it didn't matter too much as we were so tired after walking all day! Chester is a beautiful place, with a buzz about it, and lots of history to explore. Go there, you won't be disappointed!

Travelled as a family of 3 in February for a long weekend. We arrived after 9pm and Mike the owner told us where he had left the key with a handwritten note in an envelope - lovely personal touch. The room was on the ground floor, and was quite spacious. Mike was on hand to answer any questions and advice on places to eat and what to do in Chester. There is limited car parking on the forecourt but ample free parking on the street. Recommend breakfast at the Hungry Horse pub on the other side of the street. The lodge is within 6 minutes of Chester City by car and approx 25 minutes if walking. Would stay here again.

The couple who run the Lodge are extremely helpful and friendly. Their advice was very useful for choosing a good place to eat dinner, and they were both happy to chat and be asked questions. The rooms themselves are nothing special - they are clean and have a tv, tea/coffee, shower/toilet etc, but no bath. There are no shower items supplied, so you need to bring your own. But there are a decent number of towels, and the Lodge is within easy reach of Chester for bus or walking. There are some decent resturants nearby, on the edge of Hoole itself.
