See for yourself, Elv Cottage really does ooze character and charm and will provide a relaxing and memorable experience to any mini break.
Chester boasts a very small area evidencing every period of history; from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including shopping in and around the Tudor 'Rows' and walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee and through Grosvenor Park. Further afield, the Welsh mountains and coastline, the market towns and villages of Cheshire and the Wirral Peninsula are all within easy reach.

Gaynor is a fantastic host and the cottage has everything you need in a comfortable & clean environment with a hot tub in the private garden to relax in after walking around Chester. We also caught the train to Liverpool and had a fun filled day including an amazing light show at St George's hall. Will definitely be booking again

The owner Gaynor was very good keeping in touch before the visit and was at the end of the phone if we needed her. We didnât use the hot tub but gather from the visitor book it is very popular. We had a fantastic holiday.
