A delightful first floor self-catering apartment in Chester. Superb location for accessing the many amenities and activities on offer in this historical Roman city.

Chester Centre 1 mile. A high quality and stylish first-floor apartment situated above the owners' home in a desirable area close to the racecourse and River Dee in Chester. Furniture and furnishing hinting at a Bauhaus theme, sit pleasingly with original wooden beams and stained glass windows in the Art Nouveau style, to offer a perfect base for exploring Chester and the surrounding countryside.

This beautiful apartment is accessed by a private internal staircase from a shared and secure porch, and opens up into a spacious lounge with Mies Van Der Rohe accent leather chairs with ottomans, and a Noguchi-style coffee table. There is also a welcoming dining area and fitted kitchen, along with an attractive double bedroom, a single room and a bathroom. The owner has provided FreeSat TV and unlimited fibre optic WiFi broadband.

Outside is on-road parking with plenty of spaces all year round. You have your own seating area in the pretty shared gardens where you can sit and relax with coffee and newspapers in the morning, or a refreshing drink in the late afternoon. Chester city centre can be reached in a 20-minute stroll or by a short taxi or bus ride, making this an ideal location to access the Roodee Racecourse, or sample one of the many the superb restaurants and bars for which Chester is renowned.

A perfect Chester apartment for a romantic city break all year round.

Perfect relaxing week
Just like to say this place as a little gem for the price. Great communication with the owners, they were away for the weekend when we arrived but the place was set up perfectly. Lovely and warm when we got there and the place was spotless. Comfortable bed in the main bedroom and our daughter set the smaller single room up within minutes of us arriving. Lounge area was light and bright with the vaulted ceiling. Kitchen area had all you need but because it's in the attic of the house head space can be a challenge especially washing up ( my excuse to get out of doing it :)). Location is within a 10 minute drive into Chester or a 30 minute walk..... All in all we would 100% recommend Dragons Den to anyone wanting a relaxing stay. Definitely will be returning :)

Just what we needed
We choose self-catering accommodation for ? location, comfort and convenience. If a place adds style and character that's a nice bonus. The Dragon's Den ticked all the boxes handsomely! It's a very clever (and totally self-contained) loft conversion above the owner Mike's bungalow. The accommodation is spacious, light, airy, and very thoughtfully furnished and equipped. The large living area is welcoming and comfortable, with two big leather sofas plus matching armchair, TV, loads of books, CDs, a classy chess set plus other games, and three drawers full of tourist information. The kitchen is dinky but has everything you need for a week. There's a thoughtful supply of kitchen essentials for people like me who manage to forget the teabags. The fridge was stocked with milk and butter, and there was a crusty loaf on the workbench. Much more useful than the usual little packets of biscuits! The bathroom is a good size, with a bath and separate shower cubicle, and lots of fluffy towels, and some sachets of shampoo in case you have forgotten that as well as the teabags. The two bedrooms have comfy beds and there's plenty of storage space. The decor is cool, clean, stylish, with some very attractive modern oak furniture. It's also quirky, with sloping ceilings (and floor), beams, and a lot of little dragons hiding in the corners. It's near a busy road, but well set back. There's a good bus service from just round the corner into Chester, but Mike's information sheet includes instructions for a very pleasant walking route, along quiet, leafy avenues and lanes. We hadn't visited Chester for twenty five years, it hasn't changed much, still a lovely city. But to see it at its best, avoid Saturday afternoon / evening ? unless you appreciate aspiring Footballers' Wives unable to stand up reliably on their heels, let alone walk, and young men with a taste for extreme hairstyling and noisy cars. The rest of the week it's a very civilised place to wander around and soak up the atmosphere! Thanks to Mike for making us feel welcome and at home. We hope to return.

A Perfect Base for Exploring Chester and Surrounding Area
We used this property as a base from which to explore Chester and surrounding area. Excellent public transport links into town but only a pleasant 20 minute walk into town. The apartment was clean, well presented and well equipped. Lot's of useful information about the local area and tourist attractions was available. As well as board games, CD's, books and jigsaws. The owners had very kindly supplied some crusty bread, butter and milk for our arrival - very thoughtful. There is a supermarket quite close to the property.
