“This Georgian building caught my attention for its blend of historic charm and modern updates, especially its location a short walk from Chester's best attractions. I like that they offer a range of rooms, some even dog-friendly, plus a basement suite for something different; the on-site bar is a nice touch. Overall, it strikes me as a solid base for exploring the city.”
