Truly amazing!

This property was truly amazing from the layout to the little bonuses of a tv in the bathroom, a shower which you can connect to Bluetooth & listen to music via the built in speakers which are spread out throughout the bathroom to truly make you enjoy the shower/bath, as a hole the property has no fault every room is enormous with plenty of room

zoo cottage

clean and tidy with everything we could have wanted and ideally situated for Chester Zoo which was within walking distance (but as it has a free car park and we were going elsewhere afterwards we chose to take the car). Lovely outdoor seating area with gas bar b q We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (and the welcome bottle off fizz which had been left for us). Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Zoo Cottage was just a 20 minute walk to Chester Zoo and with a convenience store and other shops just a few minutes walk away it had everything you needed close by. The property itself was spotless and very comfortable for our two night stay. It gave us the perfect accommodation for our first trip to Chester!
