    Perfect little cottage, ideally located close to the city centre yet quiet and away from the main road. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was stocked with milk, tea/coffee and even a bowl of fresh fruit. Decent pubs and cafes were only a short walk away and parking was only a 5 min walk, there was even a grassed area at the back of the property for doggies too

    Property is prime location, reasonable 24 hour parking a few mins walk away details provided by host. Host was quick to sort WiFi issue. The apartment felt very homely and cosey, lovely features. Feel host has done well in keeping features of the building while trying to add all that's needed. Stayed Sun-Tue and fairly quiet, although some passing noise it is to be expected from a main city centre street. Great amount of facilities provided by host which made stay easier and welcoming

    The apartment was just lovely so cosy even tho it was on basement level. Great location not far from the city centre and the train station is not to far either just a 5 mins in the taxi. The host was very helpful as I was having trouble putting the heating on but kindly came down to help me out.

    Great location, short walk to the railway station and city centre, host was helpful and friendly, car park was a little bit of a tight squeeze behind the guesthouse but safe and secure. We would recommend the Ormonde.

    An excellent, quiet boutique hotel with great facilities within walking distance of Chester city centre, where the hosts are very welcoming, friendly and professional. Private parking was an added bonus too. A nice personal touch of a cuppa and home made cake on arrival! Luxurious room and very comfortable bed. Amazing wonderful breakfast with a great choice and using quality ingredients. 10/10 for us for everything. Thank you Dave and Kirsty for a lovely stay, we will be returning.
