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.

Also great to relax in the hot tub in the garden on the evening's. Gaynor is a great host with lots of information and easily contacted if needed. We would definitely stay again.

The hot tub is not to be missed, especially after a long dayâs walking. There is no designated parking space, but there is lots of free on street parking close by. The cottage is situated just on the outskirts of Chester, but within an easy 15 minute level walk, along the canal right into the city centre. There are lots of transport links to Liverpool, and the north Welsh coast. You will also be spoiled for choice with regards to cafes, pubs and restaurants. Regards, Robert and Elizabeth. April 2024.
