We received the 'check in' info 2 days before we arrived. Chris, the Host, gave full instructions and contacted us throughout our stay to check all was ok, which it was. A lovely bottle of Prosecco and biscuits were left for us. Thanks Chris. My husband is from Chester and I have always admired these properties that back onto the river and at last we've stayed in one. I was truly not disappointed. The views were wonderful. The whole house was clean, nicely decorated and furnished well. The kitchen was well equipped. We didn't want for anything. The heating was set up but there was also a boost facility should you want to use it. There are a few steps up to the back door entrance and you enter at the kitchen/living room level. From this level you go upstairs to the bedrooms and bathroom and downstairs to the river level lounge and outside patio areas. So there are quite a few stairs for the less able but the views are well worth it. There were stair gates at the top and bottom of the stairs for little ones. Location is perfect for Grosvenor Park, town and walks along the river. No need to use the car at all, not even in bad weather as you can't get much closer to town. There is parking with your own parking bay. The area is very quiet and relaxing. It's all about Location, Location, Location and this is perfect. The house is also pretty special. I would certainly recommend staying here and would love to go back again.

If I marked anything down slightly it would be the bed and pillows and they would get 9/10 but that is down to taste. We still slept well.

Rondeva is very comfortable and in an excellent location being on the edge of the old town of Chester which is an easy walk through the park. The view of the River Dee and the meadows is great and we were lucky as we had beautiful sun and moon rises over the river. The house is very quiet and has a well equipped kitchen. Communications with Chris were excellent and when we had a problem with the washing machine he responded immediately and offered access to another machine if we needed it. Rondeva was an excellent place to base our visit to Chester and Wales.

The venue itself and its facilities are perfect. It is lovely and clean. The ideal place for quiet relaxation. You don’t need to leave it, just chill out in its ambiance. A few minutes stroll takes you to nice pub, a busy river front with lots to see and do, a beautiful park where you could lose a few hours effortlessly and all this in a 10-15 minute stroll into the very centre of Chester. The host, Chris, is very caring and contactable. He cares about your stay and is at the top of the trade. You will always remember your stay here. We certainly will. Our second visit and already booked the third!

I can’t live there full time

Rondeva is in a beautiful location. The rear of the property overlooks the river and we enjoyed watching it's many moods and the wildlife. We sat out on the terrace and watched the river life go by. It was really quiet and yet had quick and easy access by foot to the town. There was a free parking spot which meant we didnt have to get the car out for the whole trip. The whole property was spotlessly clean, comfortable and really well equipped having everything one might need. Chris the owner was attentive and checked everything was fine, by text.

This is not a criticism, but something to be aware of; it is an old characterful property on three levels. There are two internal staircase that are quite steep and a little uneven.

Clear communications with Chris. We had our own parking space to leave the car that felt safe. The place was exceptionally clean and fresh when we arrived with some tea and coffee to get us going. Spread over 3 floors there was plenty of space with a lovely garden overlooking the river and meadows. We had everything we needed. The furniture was welcoming and comfortable so it didn't want to let go. Nice decorative touches showed a thoughtful attention to detail. The kitchen was well equipped but we only cooked one meal. The surroundings are very quiet and we didn't hear anything apart from the splosh of oars as the rowing boats passed by in the evening as we sipped drinks in the garden. A most delightful stay and one I will be happy to repeat.

Nothing noted to detract from a lovely few days.

A well appointed property in a very nice location , very clean and pet friendly. Very clean and the view was brilliant. In a quite area with private gardens over looking the River Dee. Far enough away from the City centre but close enough to walk (and we are pensioners)

The only thing we found difficult was the parking space as we have a 4x4. But a lovely neighbour directed us to some free spaces a short distance away.

The location of this house is awesome, the view is fantastic, it is right next to a park, which is beautiful and you are a mere few mins walk right into the middle of Chester. The walk is beautiful and very convenient. You are literally a few mins walk from a cosy pub on the river. Would stay again.

The house is very cute and what a beautiful garden area overlooking the river, I would love to come back in the summer as I bet it is wonderful. The only criticism is that the beds are not great, the master is small, but I have to say I am used to a much bigger bed.

A beautiful property in an outstanding location with a great back story relating to the host. We didn't want to leave and will be back. The house feels loved and facilities were everything that could be asked for. We have stayed in many homestays/houses/self-catering properties over the years and this was quite possibly our favourite.

Stunning views and excellent location for town centre and restaurants. The property was well equipped and very comfortable. Would love to stay in the summer to enjoy the outside facilities

Travelling with a toddler and baby the stairs into the property made unpacking and packing the car time consuming especially when you arrive in the dark

Spacious and beautiful. Always warm and cosy, with everything we needed. Fantastic location with stunning views. And having a parking space was the cherry on top.

Only a small thing, but having a 4yr old that jumps in with us when frightened, I could only say that the master bedroom could have used a larger bed.
