“Lovely central location.”

Mr Shoesmith-evans October 2020

“A lovely apartment centrally located in the city.”

The apartment is well equipped and homely. Plenty of space and quiet. Parked at the shopping centre car park for £10 which was fine but it would be a bonus if a parking permit came with the apartment. Would return here again

Mr Blakey October 2020

“Fabulous apartment in a lovingly restored building with original characteristics preserved.”

Couldn’t have wished for a more central location with access to the city, walls and the river all within a few minutes walk. Can’t fault the apartment. The living area is spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is outstanding, the bed comfortable and the room has plenty of storage. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and has everything you could require Ou and about, we can recommend the river boat cruise and the Church of St John the Baptist, which was the original cathedral and is often overlooked. The zoo is a must for animal lovers and conservationists alike

“The flat was wonderful, especially the bath, and a perfect location.”

The only thing that would have helped when we first arrived was knowing that it was located on the very top floor...spent a little while hunting around the building carrying our bags, but that’s a very minor thing. Overall, the place was just wonderful.

Mr Read September 2020

“This place is faultless it clean very modern and the location was perfect very central to Chester making it easy to get to where we wanted to go.”

I'm already talking about returning.

- Mr Read, September 2020
Mr Bolton September 2020

“Apartment was stunning , major letdown was the size of the bed and the quality of the mattress , felt like it was sagging right down the middle, poor quality pillows that where quite stained upon removal of pillow cases at the end of our stay.”

- Mr Bolton, September 2020
Mrs Adams September 2020

“Situated 5 mins to River Dee one way and 5 mins to centre of City other way.”

The apartment was gorgeous, communal areas were clean, bath was the best for a long soak after walking miles. Could do with a bigger bed but apart from that we couldn't fault it. Will be booking here next time we in Chester

- Mrs Adams, September 2020
Mrs Wainwright September 2020

“Fantastic location, close to all shops, bars and restaurants.”

Clean and spacious inside. Large bath in a beautiful bathroom with stained glass windows. The bed is a double but very comfortable. All kitchen items you need are provided. Lounge is comfortable and sky TV is available.

“Charming apartment near the centre of the city”

We are frequent visitors to Chester and stayed in a two-bed apartment in the same building earlier this year. The property has been beautifully converted, charmingly furnished and spotlessly kept. The lounge is a real 'den' at the top of the property and perfect for a few hours R&R after shopping, dining or sight-seeing. Tip - we found the carpark of the Grosvenor shopping centre good for parking. Although, expensive for short stays, it is currently £10 for 24 hours and your vehicle is secure and inside. Would be more than happy to go back.

- Martyn E, December 2019
Dr Evans December 2019

“This apartment is centrally situated, yet very quiet.”

All of the great attractions, shops, bars and restaurants of this historic city are on your doorstep. I would recommend use of the Grosvenor shopping centre carpark - just across the road - for your stay. Whilst short stays are expensive, for 24 hours is £10 and your car is secure and under cover. The apartment was very well appointed, spotlessly clean and was like a home to home. We would definitely recommend to others and stay again.

Mr Hill December 2019

“A beautiful apartment right in the centre of Chester.”

We had a delightful and stress free pre Christmas break

Miss Mealing August 2019

“A great apartment in a great position but your listing does not mention the fact that it is a top floor apartment accessed by 34 stairs.”

Had I known this I would not have booked as I have arthritis and a back problem and getting up the stairs with luggage was difficult

“Excellent apartment in a wonderful city.”

Comfortable and cozy rooms. Very spacious kitchen. Wonderful bathroom. Unbeatable location. An incredible apartment.

Ms Gover March 2019

“Charming comfortable apartment, attractively fitted.”

We enjoyed the quality of the conversion and period features. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the city centre and local attractions.

Mr Morris November 2018

“The apartment was wonderfully charming.”

Beautiful and comfortable. Bed was excellent and the bath tub simply out of this world. A brilliant conversion from an old church full of stained glass. Great kitchen with all the necessities. Loved my 4 nights there

Mr Cunchinabe October 2018

“Great apartment!”

Original and comfortable, well situated in the lovely city of Chester ...

Mr Barwick September 2018

“TV system was hard to understand, got the Sky working OK but not Netfliks, TV in bedroom needed re-tuning and the reception on ITV programmes was awful.”

Possibly me but a set of instructions would have helped. Cleanliness was good but there were marks of footprints of a hiking(?) boot in the bedroom (only faint) and some cobwebs around one of the windows in the kitchen. (Hence my two just under perfect comments.). We were not told that there would be tea and milk there (thank you) so bought some on the way, it should be on the blurb along with the biscuits. OK for the nit picky bit (you did ask), the apartment is terrific and the Trip Advisor comment about the toilet being near the window so you could be seen whilst using it was farcical, the beautiful stained glass windows are all obscure so it was ridiculous. (As was the T [tea] towel comment.). Where it is located should be highlighted more, inside the city wall with access to them about 100 yards away, literally minutes to a convenience store with everything, pubs and restaurants and no more than ten minutes walk to the heart of beautiful Chester. So convenient for sightseeing and a good night out without using a taxi, (excellent Italian restaurant a five minute walk.). The Zoo is about 2.5 miles away (satnav, spent a full day there), so it is placed perfectly with the (pay) car park opposite the front door so unloading/loading the boot is convenient too, a necessity with an MX5 on a 1000 mile road trip!. All in all we loved the city and loved the apartment and hope to return to both.

“Unfortunately i dont think the cleaner had been as the room/s are dirty.”

We luckily found some clean bedding and towels under the bed and have had a quick tidy up so we can enjoy our stay. Not sure what you can do to remedy as first impressions are so important and unfortunately due to the hairs, crusty egg and dirty glasses in the sink, unmade bed and dirty towels, ours hasnt been a good one.

“Lovely apartment, great location, needs better customer service”

This apartment is beautifully appointed and in a fantastic location. We nearly always stay in self catering apartments and usually find everything to be as it should be. Unfortunately the lack of customer service let this apartment down somewhat. When we arrived after a long journey at 3pm we couldn't get in as it was being cleaned. We were disappointed that the owner had not contacted us to let us know. It was a bitterly cold day, if she had we would have stayed put in the warm cafe we had just left. There was a problem with pipes leaking under the sink in the kitchen area. Contacted the owner who did get it sorted out quickly. The outside key box wasn’t working on our first day there. Despite reporting this to the owner, it still wasn't working when we left 5 days later. We also requested T-towels as there were none but never got them, ending up buying our own. I think it is important to note that in is nothing in the Skyes information about the two flights of stairs to the apartment and no lift. This was not a problem for us but it is possibly not suitable for the for elderly or disabled. It is also lacking in basics. EG: power sockets in very short supply for charging things. I think the owner is new to letting this apartment and I would like to think that these issues are just teething problems. The plus points are that is a lovely, comfortable contemporary apartment with sleek furnishings, the location couldn't be better and we also really enjoyed the living room & netflix.

“The flat is stunning.”

We had a lovely relaxing stay.

“Excellent city centre property - within the old roman walls , and close to shops , pubs and restaurants .”

We thought the Chapel conversion was very well done , the only slight issue was the lack of a privacy blind adjacent to the toilet , which was right against a floor to ceiling window , which did have the lovely original stained glass , but at night would have been seen from the roadside ! The flat being at the top of the building did have quite a few stairs , but I think we were fitter at the end of the week ! The property did not have on street parking , although this was available to residents - maybe worth the owners applying for this ? Although there was a privately run car park opposite , and a very expensive NCP car park very close by. Although our week at the flat was exceptionally cold and snowing , ( but mainly sunny) the flat was lovely and warm , and has very good heating. We thought providing a modern coffee machine , complete with the satchets , was a nice touch , and the flat had all the usual modcons installed . We would definitely recommend 1 Chapel Place , and will almost certainly return to it again . Mr Boyce .

“Unfortunately had no hot water during the majority of our stay, just bad luck!”

Appartment is lovely, stylish and comfortable. Close to centre of Chester and man on the carpark opposite was very lovely and made sure there was always a space for us to come back to because we paid for 24 hours in advanced.

- Miss Smith, February 2018
Ms Garrigan February 2018

“This is a beautiful and unusual flat.”

Very comfortable and cosy. I loved the bathroom, so unusual. It is so close to the city walls and centre of Chester yet quiet in the evenings.

“Impeccable!”

This apartment is extremely difficult to fault! Classy, high quality fittings & furnished to the very highest standard - no expense spared. Located slap bang in the middle of Chester amidst the new restaurant quarter of the city, there are literally dozens of bars and eateries within five minutes walk. Yards from the City Walls and two minutes from the river; a truly special apartment.

Miss Cassar November 2017

“The Chapel is absolutely beautiful and has everything that you need along with little added luxuries that really make it a home away from home.”

The TV has Netflix and Sky for movie nights in and the sofa is very comfortable. The lighting and the quirky decor make it extremely cosy. The bed is also extremely comfy- the best I’ve slept in in a long time! The biggest gem for me would be the amazing bathroom. The bath and the windows were absolute heaven. The location is just the cherry on top. Shops and restaurants are barely a minutes walk from the front door. The river Dee is also an amazing walk and we loved exploring this amazing city. We don’t usually return to the same place twice but we will be booking to stay here again. Chester and this house have quickly become very close to our hearts. Absolutely perfect!

About the location

CHESTER

Liverpool 17 miles; Manchester 36 miles.

Chester has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including excellent shopping in and around the famous Tudor 'Rows' and lovely walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee and through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. Explore Chester's beautiful medieval cathedral, visit Chester Racecourse or spend a day at the world renowned Chester Zoo. Further afield, the stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, the quaint market towns and villages of Cheshire and the Wirral Peninsula with its first class golf courses, are all within easy touring distance, whilst frequent rail services make Liverpool, Manchester and the North Wales coast readily accessible.
