To be honest i found this not so bad. Yes it's old decor and in dire need of some tlc but for the price (if ave £60 a night or less) its worth it. Not worth more than that though. Its central to a good selection of shops and eat outs. I was contracting in the area so was a handy base. The owner Mike is fantastic. Incredibly helpful and always on hand if need anything. There is a small fridge and a microwave in a commin room lounge which i found helpful as i like proper milk with my tea and coffee. Dont get that in most local hotels. Comparing to local hotels, of which the standards in the area are absolutely shocking, i actually found here fairly comfortable. Would i stay here again contracting, yes.

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.

Went to Chester to help move our daughter, so just wanted b&b for the night. Clean & friendly only slight negative was there was no breakfast available but with plenty of choice nearby.

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.

If you want a B&B in a great location (5 mins from the centre and 10mins to the zoo) with a good breakfast, comfy bed and friendly service this is he place for you! Stayed here twice now on our visits to Chester and Mike who owns the BnB is great, both times we arrived after 9pm and he let us know how to self check in and that it was no problem either. Very friendly and welcoming and the English breakfast in the morning is tasty. Rooms are very clean and tidy and you got free tea and coffee :) got the impression nothing Ian too much trouble for him. Parking is available outside for free with no restrictions. Easy access to city centre and places in and around Chester. Places to eat within walking distance as well

Everything was clean and comfortable. The room was facing the main road so there was some traffic noise but nothing disturbing. I liked the option of having no breakfast as I am not really a big breakfast person. (Breakfast is available as a paid option). Although the car park isn't massive there is free street parking just outside. The landlord was kind and courteous. The place is walking distance from the rail station.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay. The owner, Mike, was very helpful and the operation of the B+B very efficient. Large, comfortable room for our party of 2 adults and an 8 yr old. This included a very welcome full size TV, which in my experience is a bit unusual. Interiors a bit tired (no more than usual at this price point) but cleanliness and housekeeping first class, shower about the best I’ve found in any B+B. Tasty, substantial breakfast (£5 per adult, 8 yr old free), promptly served. A bit of a hike into the town centre but on the plus side easy parking and quiet in the evenings. Taxi and bus an easy option if you don’t want to walk. I would definitely recommend this establishment and would certainly stay here again if we were to plan another trip to Chester.
