"The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up...

"Beautiful Victorian building building close to Chester station, literally 1 minute walk from station entry/exit. Easy walk along the canal into the historic city centre. Staff helpful and friendly."

Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. The room was lovely, large and immaculate. The pictures on the website do not do the hotel enough justice. It far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to return. The food and service were fantastic. We ate in Nelson’s and the food was delicious, hot and plentiful. Breakfast was also brilliant quality and the staff were great. The restaurant was an amazing space. We used the spa facilities, again, staff were friendly and helpful. Pool area was very good. The only slight criticism is that the spa changing rooms/showers could do with an upgrade."
