What a novel experience! Like travelling back in time to live on a country estate in Victorian England. The house, and indeed the whole village, preserved immaculately to conjure up the illusion. There was a wedding in the village church when we were there and it all looked so perfect. Lucky couple! Paula's house is modest, but has everything you could need for a comfortable stay, and is very clean and tidy. The kids must indeed be well trained! We didn't experience local transport links, but it's a very short drive directly into the centre of Chester. There's even a footpath beside the road that makes the route popular with joggers at the weekend. Chester itself is a delight and remains undiminished since our last visit some 20 odd years ago. The same could not be said of Liverpool, which we also revisited. I feel embarrassed for tourists whose expectations are likely to be dashed. That two cities so close to each other could be so different is astonishing. I used my usual yardstick to judge the success of our stay at Paula's place: and yes, my wife duly DID ask what house prices were like in the area.............

It was a lovely home and had everything that we needed. It is an easy 40 min walk into Chester and beautiful scenery all around. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a brilliant times at Paula’s house. The village is very beautiful and their house is full of character and charm. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The garden is huge and the trampoline and swings were a great addition for our daughter. There’s a pretty walk to Chester along the river (75mins) and the town is probably the prettiest and oldest city we have been to in the UK. We would highly recommend their home, village and city.

We spent a wonderful time at Puala's family house! We loved everything: the house, the area, all the atmosphere! The house is so cozy we didn't want to get out :) Yet Eccleston is one of the most beautiful villages we saw in Britain, and we adored the walks around! The house itself is a family home, so everything you might need is there, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped. We took care of Toby, the family dog, and he's the smartest dog ever, and we felt like he was walking us rather than the opposite. So it was enjoyable and no hustle at all. Paula was very kind and easy to communicate, and we felt like we are friends even though we never met :)
