The sound of cathedral bells drifts across the Dee valley on Sunday mornings, and if you're lucky enough to wake in one of these pods or rooms, you're close enough to the old Roman walls to feel the weight of history before breakfast.

This is for travellers who want a proper bed and a roof overhead — whether that's in the warmth of the guest house itself or the snugness of a camping pod tucked in the grounds. Chester's cobbled Rows and riverside walks are right on your doorstep, and dog owners should ask ahead to see if four-legged friends are welcome in your chosen pitch type. It suits couples after a city-break-with-green-edges, walkers tackling the Sandstone Trail, or anyone using Chester as a comfortable base for North Wales or the Cheshire Plain.

Facilities aren't fully listed, so worth checking what's onsite when you book. Campfires need confirming on arrival — don't assume. It's open all year, which makes it a solid winter bolt-hole when canvas won't cut it. Expect a quieter, more settled vibe than a big touring site, somewhere between wild camping and a high-street hotel.
