Stayed for two nights at the lovely Zoo Cottage. Property is well presented and in a target location with easy access to Chester Zoo, Chester itself and other attractions such as Cheshire Oaks. No issues with property, very clean and well stocked with usual kitchen amenities. Felt very much at home rather than just being in someone's home! Chris the owner was very accommodating, taking the time to check on each evening to make sure all was OK. Bottle of Prosecco left us for was also a nice touch :) Lots of amenities in close proximity, Inc. A Tesco Express and Spar. Highly reccomend taking time out to try the Indian Brasserie across the road- abundant menu and lovely staff.

Nothing related to the property, only suggestion would be for a review of the welcome pack suggestions- we had booked in for the Wheatsheaf pub on the Sunday night but weren't aware that they stopped serving food early on a Sunday night for the quiz. However this did not impact our stay.

Loved the property. Ideal for visiting the zoo. And various attractions in the near by area. The house was peaceful and very well kept. Great kitchen to cook and lovely dining room to eat in.

Being told to be quiet before I got there and it being reiterated in the documents left in the house. I get that some guests in the past may have been an issue but not all of us are inconsiderate. We were looking for a quiet place to use as a base while we visited attractions. The next door neighbours were loud. We are quiet anyway. Just tone that down a touch and would be perfect. In closing I would stay again the house and the garden was lovely. Just didn’t like the tone of quiet.

We had a fantastic stay at Zoo Cottage. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 Children and the accommodation was perfect for our needs. We wanted to be close enough to get into the Centre and far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. We also had to pick my son up from Chester main station and this was just a few minutes drive away. Chirs is a pleasant host who was very attentive.

Nothing to report here! Everything we needed was supplied in the property. There was even added touches, such as low level lighting in the bathrooms and on the landing which was great in the evening.

We loved staying at Zoo Cottage. We travelled to Chester to visit the zoo and the aquarium, so the location was perfect. There are also shops, restaurants and a pub just a short walk away. The cottage itself is so lovely. It is clean and well maintained with lots of amenities. It had everything there that we needed to enjoy our stay. It is very much a home from home. We will definitely stay at Zoo Cottage when we return to Chester!

Everything was great! No complaints.

The house has everything you could need! They have thought of everything, I particularly liked the automatic lights in the bathroom and landing. The location is incredible, 10 mins from Chester centre and 9 mins from the zoo! The owner is great with contact!

There's nothing I didn't like, my only feedback would be that the back bedroom could do with darker curtains to help keep out the light / heat. But they have a fan which really helped... and I would never complaining about the sun!

We travelled with our 2 year old . Chris the host was great . He checked in with us to check everything was ok. As we stayed for 2 nights , we also received a bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely touch. Staying in the cottage was so much easier than a hotel with a 2 year old as there was plenty of space including a lovely garden area. The zoo was actually within walking distance or just a couple minutes drive in the car . Chester anc Cheshire oaks were both just 10 minutes drive away. We have recommended Zoo cottage to our friends with little ones who are interested in traveling down to Chester . We would highly recommend Zoo cottage and will definitely stay again .

This property is all about the location it's brilliant, 10 minutes drive to Chester town centre or to cheshire oaks, 2 minutes to Chester zoo and 10 minutes walk to a nice friendly pub with good food .great base to go exploring from. Would definitely consider using again if staying in and around cheshire. Host is super easy to get hold of and answers any questions very quickly.

Nothing really.

The property was spotless. It was lovely and warm when we arrived after a day in the rain! The instructions from the host were easy to follow. Beds were comfy, the property was spacious, the garden area was idyllic despite the weather, the kitchen well equipped, and you can't help but feel at home. We loved the bathroom. We don't get to go away often, so when we do, we always hope a getaway will be as close to perfect as possible. And this was. Thank you!

There was literally nothing that we didn't like.

Zoo Cottage is in a great location we drove to the train station to get the train to Liverpool. Just across the main road is shop which you could get most things and a bakery was inside as well. Chis was very easy to deal with throughout the booking process and giving us instructions on how to enter the property etc. The house had everything we needed including a nice outdoor area where we could sit on a nice day. Beds were comfortable and the area was quiet, the bathroom was good with a powerful shower and a toilet, plus there is a toilet downstairs which was really handy.

There was nothing we didn't like about this property.
