We had a fantastic week in Solway, a spacious, modern property. The pool was great and the house itself is clean, tidy and well-equipped. The garden is large with lots of seating. The property is close to Chester (about a 10 minute drive) but note that it is on the main A41 dual carriageway so can be a bit noisy if you're sensitive to it. ExcellentRead more communication with the owner who kindly left some chocolates and a bottle of prosecco for us which was lovely. Hide

What a beautiful house and a lovely week we all had! The extra touch of having Alexa in the pool room made for a great experience. The only minor thing to note was that Wi-Fi is not available in the ground floor rear bedroom. Facilities are good and location is a good distance for both Chester Zoo and Chester Town. We would gladly come back
