After pin pointing a place to stay on a map we never expected a wonderful surprise awaiting us. Firstly the house so elegantly appointed, we wanted for nothing. All our comforts were met and more. We did intend to use the house as somewhere to journey to and from. After exploring the city we felt there was so much to see and do there we never ventured further. This is one of our very favourite spots on our holiday. A week we will reflect on for many years to come. Thanks Karen for all your advice. Your award was certainly earned.

It's not often you can say that the place you stay in on holiday is as comfortable and relaxing as your own home so I must congratulate Karen so much. You have really done fantastic in preparing Jasmine Cottage. The awards you have won are very much deserved and we hope you win many many more. Thank you for a lovely welcoming and we will definitely be telling all our friends back in the Isle of Man about your lovely cottage. We will of course be back ourselves in the future so good luck and all the best wishes. The Kirkham family from the Isle of Man.

A superb cottage - it has been a pleasure to stay in such a beautifully equipped and fitted property and we congratulate you on your good taste and exceptional attention to detail. Rental properties of this high standard are hard to find and we would not hesitate to strongly recommend it - a little gem!
Thank you Karen & Alan for your very warm welcome & help throughout our stay.

We have just enjoyed our 5th year staying at Jasmine Cottage - and the facilities just
keep on improving. Karen & Allan should be the benchmark for all
holiday cottages, they demonstrate this by providing everything you can think
of - and more besides. The awards they have received must make them very proud.
Thank you Karen. We'll be back! Smith Family Isle of Man

This is the best appointed cottage we have stayed in, & the welcome was very much
appreciated [never had this before!]. Jasmine Cottage deserves every accolade it
receives. Chester City everything we expected. A lovely car ride - take the A494
past Bala, this skirts the bottom of the Snowdonia National Park - scenery is stunning.
Tatton Park house & gardens also well worth a visit. We will be back & will
recommend this to family & friends. Barbara & Dave Williams, Essex.

Many thanks Karen - this is a lovely cottage - everything one could possibly want - we
have stayed in some lovely accommodation in the UK, but this was the best set up by far.
The kids loved the games especially RISK. My teeange son said that this place
was "awesome" as it had the best DVD collection - all of his favorites. North Wales is
beautiful, even in the rain! Chester is a wonderful town for just wandering about in,
shopping & having a coffee. We will definitely tell our friends & family about this place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Chester - from the warm welcome we received
from Karen upon arrival to exploring Chester and beyond. Jasmine Cottage is
lovely - comfortable and well-appointed. Karen deserves all the many awards and
accolades she's received. We managed to see a lot but a week isn't enough for all
we'd like to do. Easy access to Wales - went twice - first to Conwy [spectacular castle]
then to Bangor and on to Beaumaris [another castle]. Also to Liverpool. Enjoyed
Chester sausage from shop on Northgate, Huntsman pie from Edwards of Conwy
& oggies from Castle Bakery in Beaumaris. Thank you Karen for helping to make
our week enjoyable. Hope we will return some day.

Our fourth year here in a row - says it all, really. We find new things to explore every
year, and as our son grows up we return to previous haunts with fresh eyes. A couple
of highlights this year: Techniquest Science Discovery Centre at Wrexham
[J.5 of A483/A541]. Great fun for children of all ages - had to drag dad away! Another
day we drove to Woodside Ferry Terminal in Birkenhead at the end of the A41. Took
the famous Ferry Cross the Mersey to the Royal Liver Building. This is adjacent to
Underwater Street [ a basement in Water Street!] a fantastic children's discovery centre.
This makes for a really lovely family day out. The Spence Family from Plymouth
