  • Beautiful property with plenty of entertainment, enjoy a swim in the private indoor heated pool, play table football or enjoy the large garden
  • Detached property, finished in a luxury style and boasting numerous creature comforts (please note there is no hot tub)
  • Period property in the outskirts of the City of Chester, only 1 mile from Chester Zoo and close to the Racecourse
Property code: 77274

A fabulous luxury property with open fire, heated indoor swimming pool, gym and table football, making it ideal for couples and families to enjoy a fun filled holiday whatever the weather.

This impressive accommodation comfortably sleeps up to ten guests and three canine companions. The vast social spaces make it the ideal destination for large family celebrations and special occasions with friends. Stay active during your holiday in the private pool and gym and get out and explore this fascinating city on foot, thanks to the property’s great central location.

 

You’ll feel like you’re living the life of the rich and famous in this plush pad. From the opulent marble floor to the lavish light fittings, this property exudes elegance. The detached accommodation has plenty of space for the whole party, including a fantastic open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with an extendable dining table, so everyone can enjoy mealtimes together. Patio doors open from the lounge onto the outdoor area, meaning the dogs can easily drift in and out to the large enclosed garden. There are thoughtful touches throughout the property to make your stay extra special, such as reclining sofas and luxurious furnishings.

 

A great way to see the city is by walking the Chester City Walls. The dog-friendly historic route (parts of which are nearly 2,000 years old!) takes you on a circuit around the city, and you can access it just 2 miles from the property. It’s also definitely worth taking the 3-mile stroll to the Roman amphitheatre to really immerse yourself in the history of this great city. The hounds can join you, just remember to pop them on a lead. Another fabulous way to see the city is by boat. The sightseeing tours (3 miles away) on the River Dee offer a unique perspective, and dogs are welcome on board. If it’s fresh air and greenery you’re after, head to Delamere Forest (10 miles away). You’ll find walking trails through woodland and past beautiful lakes, plus lots of picnic spots.

Solway is on the A41 and therefore quite noisy, but not a problem for us. It would have been nice to be greeted personally and we felt the welcome pack was very minimal indeed. Please be aware that there are open tread stairs.
