Brookside

Had a fantastic one night stay at Brookside with my mum, just before Christmas. We'd booked to visit the Lanterns at Chester Zoo (definitely a must-see) and wanted a base that was close enough to town but far enough out to have parking. Check in was straight forward and the lady that greeted us (I missed her name) was very informative and told us about everything that was happening in Chester over the weekend. There's plenty of parking (even if, like us, you lose your spot to a later arrival when you leave the B&B!), if not on the car park then surrounding roads. There's a bus into the city from opposite the B&B, which runs regularly, meaning you can leave the car for a drink or two in one of the city's many restaurants. The B&B itself is lovely. We had two rooms - one 4-poster (free upgrade) and one standard double. Both had all the amenities you would expect. Very clean, comfy beds, and a very hearty (tasty) breakfast with plenty of options. We had a lovely chilled evening after the lanterns sitting in one of the various nooks and crannies of the lounge area - lovely atmosphere and very welcoming. Overall a fantastic stay, and if we go to Chester overnight again, I wouldn't hesitate to book there again - thank you to all of the staff!
