8 Nicholas Court

Nice location and lots of space, really enjoyed our stay.

Nicely furnished and had everything needed (except dryer for a longer stay). Parking a bit overgrown and a little contradiction in the instructions - there are (2) key boxes, instructions said green box, but keys were in white box (also we never located the front door keys).

The house was very nice, in an excellent location.

However the outside needed weeding front and back (large bramble growing over the bins) and needs tidying up generally. The standard of cleaning was not what we expected from a Sykes listed property. There are too many problems to list, from dirty cutlery and crockery, grill pans, frying pan and stove top (I presume previous occupant), kitchen surfaces, freezer and especially the floor. Ants were entering the property but no one came with ant powder as promised on our arrival. Bathroom had issues and downstairs toilet very dirty around hinges- very visable. I would also question whether the middle floor bed had been changed. I have taken photos of some of these issues, which will be date stamped with the day we arrived. The owner was as helpful as he could possibly be from Japan, but having given the cleaner time to remedy the problems, then time for the owner to contact her, a phone call at 11.30am from the cleaner the day before we left and when we were out for the day, meant it was too late to sort out. We are sad about by the situation as we like to visit Chester and hoped we had found an alternative to staying in a hotel. I would like to know if Sykes check on properties on a regular basis?

Excellent location within easy walking distance to the centre of Chester with all its attractions and facilities.

Although close to the city centre the house location was peacefull and quiet. Very well equiped with good quality kitchen applicances (and excellent instructions provided) and nice modern bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay at Nicholas Court - Marc obviously takes pride in his property

Great central location, recomendations from owners for places to eat and drink were spot on.

House has everything you need for visiting Chester. Very clear instructions provided for gadgets and recycling.

Great place really good location.

A wonderful home away from home in a great location.

The house is lovely and very well equipped and maintained. (The only issue we had was the back door was very difficult to open.) Parking for one large car is a real bonus! We will definitely stay again.

A beautiful home from home, even better than advertised, and only a 5-10 minute walk into Chester city centre.

Despite being so close to the city, the house is in a very quiet residential area. Very comfortable bedroom and lounge area. Kitchen well equipped. Great bathroom, particularly liked the muted lighting which is useful at night. We will definitely come back here to stay and may even bring our family next time.

House just a 15min walk to centre for Chester yet it was so quiet at night you could not believe you were so close.

Owner's recommendation's for restaurants and pubs very good. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Firstly for location this is 5 star - very well located within the city walls, only 5 minutes walk from the centre and with off street parking.

Well appointed and clean with up to date bathroom and kitchen fittings. Slightly let down by some minor maintenance issues, such as no catch or lock on the upstairs bathroom, several door handles seemed to jam and were hard to open or close, in addition there was no key left for the back door (which is where the car park space is), however this would not stop us rebooking this property, but has resulted in a 4 star rather than a 5 star rating.

Location to Chester racecourse,pubs and the restaurants is superb.

Accomodation is extremely well set up.Rooms are very comfortable.Overall a really enjoyable visit

Really enjoyed the stay,great location,comfy,quiet and everything you needed for a great stay.

The only downside was the creaky stairs,didn’t matter during the day but at night sounded very loud. Even with that would still stay again and thanks for enjoyable holiday.

Thanks for prompt response regarding questions.

Great 'home from home' property. Radio & basic TV in dinning room would be a bonus.

The house is very nice and location is fabulous.

Parking was great. The instruction booklet was a really well illustrated extra . The only fault is the noisy floorboards on the stairs if your on floor one it doesn’t matter if you go up or down to use the bathroom they are so bad they would wake the whole house. The house owners responsive to any questions is really good.

We had a very enjoyable weekend at this property.

The facilities are exceptional. Our only minor complaint is that the stairwell floorboards creaking was very loud especially at night.

Perfect location and a very well equipped and comfortable house.

Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at 8 Nicholas Court, which provided a wonderful location within easy walking distance of the centre of Chester.

Particular mention must be made of the beds which we found incredibly comfortable - best sleep I’ve had away from home. Although we didn’t eat in much, the kitchen seemed to be much better equipped than the average rental. The whole property has a really homely atmosphere. Particular recommendations for food/pubs are: Hickory Smokehouse (BBQ) Augusto (Pizza) The Guild (Cocktails) The Watergates (pub with lovely vaulted ceiling) Knoops (best hot chocolate ever!) For sightseeing: Walking the walls Chester Cathedral (just keeps on going) Sick to Death museum Chester castle (great views and very interesting facts from Mike and Alan) Thanks to Marc for staying in contact/responsiveness to queries.

Overall the property was fabulous, far in excess of other similar properties that we've stayed in.

Super detailed instructions were great but knowing that the "general waste" bin is emptied every other week is not so useful unless you know which week it is. We managed to intercept the plastic/card box trucks but we didn't know that the general waste truck was coming on that Thursday, Two toilets demands two toilet brushes. These are not meant as criticism, merely as ways to make this brilliant property even better. Overall it was clearer that the owner had expended an enourmous amount of both money and effort to (probaky fail) in defeating the Undead. We hope to return soon. Yours aye Andrew Sturt

We had a wonderful week stay in this lovely home from home.

It was really clean, comfortable and well equipped. Parking right outside the back door was a real bonus. Close to the lovely town centre of Chester with all the lovely shops and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Chester.

Nice house in a quiet location, ideal for the City centre.

A few minor things we came across were; the bedroom doors were hard to open and shut, probably need easing, bathroom lock was loose ( only had one screw in it). A washing up bowl would be handy, lid missing from the recycling bin & had to buy some bin bags… Only minor issues which wouldn’t deter us from booking again, which we will hopefully do! Would definitely recommend ( but not when we want to use it!! )

Lovely house in a brilliant location.

Away from the main town (quiet) but close enough to access the town by walking. Clean, comfortable and a kitchen with every utensil needed. Would definitely stay again, thanks.

Lovely property very comfortable and equipped with everything you need.

Good parking space for two cars. House is ideally located, less than 5 minute walk, to get into the center of Chester, with access to shops, resturants etc. Also a good base to go further afield e.g. North Wales/Liverpool.

A lovely warm house, 5 minutes stroll from the centre, tucked away on a quiet street.

A perfect location for a family break or a stay with friends. The house was easy to find and off-road parking for 1 car. Great facilities, all the comforts of home.

Amazing property all round.

Superb location- just park the car and leave it. Really clean and comfortable property. Welcome gifts much appreciated. Lots of relevant information. Had everything we needed and we had a wonderful stay. Thoroughly recommended. Will definitely stay again when in Chester. Have already recommended the property to family and friends. Brilliant, many thanks.

Really great location, very good stay for the Christmas Markets.

We loved staying here and the house provided all we needed. Very comfortable, lots of good information provided by the hosts, couldn't be happier with the experience. Thanks

We had a cosy and comfortable stay here.

House is very well equipped and maintained, and the position is very convenient for the city centre. We'd be very happy to return here!

Would be useful for future guests to note there is a hairdryer provided.

Location is excellent.

Only a few minutes walk to wall racecourse and shopping. House is beautiful and extremely well equipped and maintained. Beds very comfortable. Owner communication good. Was made to feel welcome. If we return to Chester, would look to stay here again. Highly recommend this house.

We loved our stay at Nicholas Court.

The house is gorgeous and very well equipped. Anything we needed was available. Perfect location. We will definitely be booking in another stay!

This is a beautifully kept and well equipped property set in the heart of Chester.

We had the added benefit of the summer Solstice parade which we didn't know about in advance and was superb. The whole city centre is within walking distance and eating/drinking is so prolific you will be spoilt for choice.
