Greta Place to stay

A great place to stay for visiting Chester. A few minutes walk to the city wall and you are right there amongst the Rows and bars and restaurants. They do a great selection for breakfast and the views overlooking the river are stunning.

Weekend Break

We enjoyed our stay but felt that the cost was overpriced for the room we stayed in. Maybe because of the location the room price is high. We ate in the restaurant and the food was lovely
