The single bedroom features a cream & brass Victorian style bedstead with a Hypnos pocket sprung mattress. Both rooms share the beautiful main bathroom with shower bath and fully tiled walls.
On the top floor we have the twin bedroom, with 2 x single beds, which also features a superbly appointed en-suite shower room.

A grest week in Chester

We had a wonderful week in Douglas Cottage. We loved the fantastic basket of goodies provided on our arrival. The Cottage was beautifully presented and in spotless condition. Beds and furnishings are very comfortable and every need is provided for. A quiet peaceful place to return to and relax in the evenings. Excellent, would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Chester.

Great, Characterful house in central Chester

We had a great stay on Bath St. The house was brilliantly appointed, Andy and Barbara were extremely welcoming and thoughtful hosts who had provided everything we could need for a really comfortable stay. The location, right in Chester City is fantastic, but enough of a step off the beaten track to be quiet and relaxing inside.

We travelled from Canada, three sisters and two of our daughters, and wanted to enjoy an authentic English accommodation. We found everything we needed with the unique and luxurious Douglas Cottage. Plenty of space for all five of us, with 3 bedrooms (a total of 4 beds that you melted into, my daughter and I shared the queen bed in the master bedroom ) and 3 bathrooms, it was the perfect fit for us and turned out to be less expensive than 3 hotel rooms. We enjoyed breakfast at the large dining table every morning, and relaxing in the lounge with the gas fireplace after a long day out exploring. The ability for us to be in the same space (and not separated into 3 hotel rooms), the washer and dryer (allowing us to pack less in our suitcase) and the location were the three main reasons we chose to stay at The Douglas Cottage, it did not disappoint. We did not have a vehicle and relied on walking, tour bus, taxi or train, all within a 10 minute walk. I would definitely stay at the Douglas Cottage again! Thank you to our gracious hosts who thought of everything travellers with children or without, would/could/should need!

Perfect house in a perfect location

Owners met us personally at the house and were flexible with timings. We had a tour and they explained how the appliances worked. Welcome hamper along with milk, bread and butter provided which was a lovely touch. Really well equipped kitchen, all bathrooms had soap and plenty of towels to use. Location is very central within walking distance or a bus or train to a lot of things to do. When we left my daughter realised she’d lost a ring. Owners found it when cleaning and went above and beyond to return it to her. Would highly recommend this property for a break in Chester.

Beautiful 19th century property designed by local architect

The house had all modcons while retaining lots of original architectural features. It was great being near the centre of town, grosvenor park and the river. Andrew and Barbara were very welcoming. I would definitely stay here again.

Douglas cottage is a beautiful property & is decorated to a very high standard. The owners Barbara & Andy greeted us & showed us how things worked. They left us a basket of food items & milk & butter which was a lovely gesture. The beds were very comfortable & the whole property was extremely clean. We had a fabulous stay.

A jewel in the crown of Chester

This quirky and lovely home is exactly as described in the ad. The hosts Barbara & Andy met us on arrival, gave us a tour of this special holiday home and really made us feel welcome. It is superbly located, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and so full of Barbara’s many finishing touches that we were still admiring something we had missed as we were leaving. Thank you both for providing a great base to explore Chester and beyond.

Fabulous

Douglas Cottage exceeded expectations. It was delightfully decorated in Georgian and Victorian styles but managed to perfectly combine historical charm with all the necessary mod-cons. The hosts, Barbara and Andrew, greeted us on arrival and showed us around the cottage and explained how everything worked. They thoughtfully saved us a parking spot directly outside the house (residents permit only) and provided us with a lovely basket of goodies. The location is absolutely ideal, about 100 yards from Grosvenor park and the river in one direction and 100 yards to the main High street in the other direction. We stayed for two nights and it was a perfect choice which allowed us to explore Chester on foot without the need to drive anywhere.Despite it's central location we were transported to another time once we stepped over the threshold and I would totally recommend Douglas cottage to anyone wanting a memorable visit to Chester.

Fabulous Christmas in Chester

The house is a beautiful cottage, immaculately decorated with everything you need for a stay. Andy and Barbara are fantastic hosts decorating the house for Christmas so we felt right at home and a lovely welcome basket meant we didn’t have to rush to the store. This house is a 10/10 for us.

The “cottage” that is a “castle”

One of those rare occasions when all the elements of a short term rental come together in perfect harmony. The property itself is an historical gem; quixotic architecture, period furnishings and state of the art appliances make for a unique stay far removed from the comparatively bland norm. The delightful hosts were easy to communicate with, provided a warm personal welcome on our arrival as well as a generous basket of groceries. All this located near the heart of this ancient city, in easy walking distance of the park, river, medieval buildings, shops and restaurants.

Wonderful property

The property was immaculate, the location is great & the owners were very helpful. We all enjoyed chilling out in the evening at the property after busy days out, it felt like a real home from home. A two minute walk takes you into the town for restaurants, bars, shops etc but it is so quiet in the property you would never know !

Douglas Cottage

The property was very modern for a 1903 building. The furnishing was excellent and comfortable. We were 4 people staying in a 3 bedroom cottage. The appliances were state of the art in a kitchen that looked like it was brand new. The location was within walking distance of the train station and in the heart of downtown, with parks and shopping near by. The hosts were welcoming and took care to show us how everything worked. There were brochures of places to see and things to do around Chester. In all it was a wonderful stay.

A great base to enjoy Chester

Everything in the house is really unique and of good quality. We were just two in a 3 bedroom house so we had plenty of space and even a nice little garden to enjoy. There was an exceptionally good hamper of treats to enjoy and it was nice to be met at the house and shown where to park and how everything in the house worked. The location is perfect with everything close at hand but in a quiet location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
