It was an easy 20/25 minutes walk into Chester or to Saltney to the local shops. Bus stop not far if raining. The place was comfortable, TV ok, plenty of hot water/ towels. As previously mentioned the sloping ceilings can be a hazard for some people. There is some traffic noise but not too bad with the windows closed. Just a few minor issues, some of the cutlery in the drawer had to be washed again. The cupboard under the sink was a bit greasy. Which we cleaned. Otherwise the place was clean. We would have appreciated more washing up liquid as there was no dishwasher. The owner was very pleasant. We would stay again if visiting Chester.

The hairdryer wasn't very powerful so it took longer to dry my hair. The only other comment I'd like to make was the road noise which was stated on website but it was constant and as it was very hot while we visited we needed the windows open. Apart from that it was a very pleasant stay.
