The property was large and very spacious. It was clean and comfortable. The house is near the water and close to town. We stayed here for a work conference, and it was nice for everyone to have their own space.

Great family space
Our group consisted of 8 adults and 2 small children. The bedrooms were large and the community spaces accommodated our group nicely. The backyard had plenty of space for enjoying the outdoors. The location was ideal for our group.

Perfect for a large group
This property was the perfect place for a group of old friends to come together to celebrate a wedding. The number of bedrooms and the pullout couch accommodated our large group comfortably, as did the open kitchen and dining rooms. We very much enjoyed the spacious backyard seating area too. Highly recommend this property for your stay in Chester!

Magical place
Where do I start we had such a wonderful time at this lovely house it felt like home. Such a wonderful little village to walk around all the Comforts of home. We had an amazing lunch at the Focsle Pub then we proceeded to walk to the local Beach. Everything you need is within walking distance. They even had a pack and play for a baby. The backyard is so nice to sit out and just enjoy the smell and the sunset. I highly highly recommend this home. And will be back to stay again we had such a nice time. The hosts were incredible great communication great welcome with suggestions. Any questions we had they answered us right away.
