Summary: Loved the location of this charming cottage in Chester. Met with owners in person for an overview of the house. Home is walking distance to the Rows, Roman wall and ruins, beautiful parks and the train station. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the rooftop terrace overlooking the bridge and the river!

Summary: Riverbridge cottage is a quaint, highly-decorated home. The owners have spared no expense in quality workmanship and decor. It is ideal for the special guest who is looking for a british experience. The reason for 4 stars is that each room is small and separate. We had difficulty finding space for personal items, luggage etc. However, a great location with easy access to all that Chester has to offer.
