What our customers say about their holidays

  An absolute gem of a cottage!

  Just about everything you could want for self-catering in the kitchen, from crockery to cutlery, to pots and pans. The island makes eating in the kitchen a must, as well as providing the luxury to sit down whilst cooking. A large size fridge and freezer means you have plenty of room to store fresh or frozen food at the right temperature. Those little must haves are in abundance - hooks on bathroom doors and by the hot tub to hang gowns and towels on, shelves in the shower cubicle to put requirements on, bedside tables, tables in sitting room for those relaxing drinks, etc. If anything is amiss, Gaynor is on hand almost immediately to put things right. She is also very open to receiving feedback as to how she could improve the cottage further. The hot tub in the sheltered garden is perfect and was well used. The cottage itself is on a busy road at times but within walking distance of Chester town centre, which can be reached by roadway or canal towpath. There is no carparking space with the cottage, but plenty of free, unrestricted parking on the road nearby. The position of the cottage does not detract from its suitability at a good price. We would definitely recommend a visit.

  We can’t rate this cottage highly enough.

  It is superbly located to walk into Chester to see all the sights (and in the lead up to Christmas with the Christmas market, Cathedral etc, it is a magical place to be!) The cottage itself is charming and extremely well furnished. The lounge is really cosy complete with Woodburner which we made use of, the kitchen is ultra modern and very well equipped, the huge bathroom is stunning and the bedroom is beautifully furnished with a very comfortable bed. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake after a day out in Chester and it was fabulous to relax in it, gazing up at the stars on crisp cold nights. Perhaps what sets Elv cottage apart from other 5 star cottages is the owner, Gaynor. She was so accommodating with every aspect of our booking and nothing was too much trouble. You will not be disappointed if you book this cottage, we are already booked in for a return visit in December 2020!

  ‘I can only agree with all the previous reviews!

  Elv Cottage is absolutely wonderful, and fully equipped with everything that you might need no matter how long you might choose to stay. The cottage was exceptionally clean and bright, with a cosy feel, enhanced by the homely decor. We very much appreciated the coffee machine in the mornings. The well maintained and private garden with hot tub is a real asset and Gaynor provided comprehensive instructions regarding how everything worked and information about the local amenities. The cottage is also wonderfully placed to enjoy Chester for a romantic weekend away, next to the beautiful River Dee and a very short walk from a pub with welcoming staff and really exceptional views of the river. We were really quite touched by the pink fizz and the personalised postcard. I think this is a weekend away we will always remember, thank you very much Gaynor!

  Gaynor is such a fantastic host, so helpful and gave us a great restaurant recommendation.

  It was so lovely to be welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco and all the fresh flowers around the house. Gaynor really does think of everything! The cottage is immaculately clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need, really lovely comfy bed and the hot tub was amazing in a really charming private garden which is a real sun trap. The cottage is in a fantastic location, a minute walk to the river and 20 minutes walk to the city and grosvenor park, couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s also only a 10 minute drive to Chester zoo so really convenient for a day out seeing the animals! Only regret we have is not staying for longer but we will definitely be back to make up for it!

  The holiday was originally booked for May but due to the current climate had to be moved which was easy to do and we didn't need to contact Sykes as they provided all the information needed.

  The cottage was exactly as described and was so lovely and cosy, even when the weather was wet we felt able to relax inside which was a bonus. The owner was fantastic with communication and all the little personal touches around the cottage added to the honely feel. Parking information was possibly a little out dated as the car park recommended for overnight parking seems to have changed the ticket machines and as such we couldn't find a way to park overnight without having to get up at 6.59am when the parking charges kicked back in, thankfully we always managed to park on the road so it wasn't a problem.
