Step back in time at this remarkable 700-year-old Grade I listed Manor House, just an 18-minute drive from Chester city centre. Once host to King Edward I in 1277, this beautifully restored medieval treasure—crafted from exposed sandstone and oak—offers a truly unforgettable stay.
With off-road parking for two cars and space for two well-behaved pets, it’s an ideal retreat for families or friends seeking tranquillity in a picturesque setting. Outside, the former banqueting hall’s well-kept stone exterior, sash windows, and surrounding greenery create an enchanting first impression.
Inside, the first floor reveals two king-size bedrooms with handmade oak headboards and original church pews. One room hides a secret passageway leading to historic arrow slots and a playful medieval-style “dungeon” display. The bathroom features a rain shower and a sunken whirlpool bath—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Continue to the second floor to discover a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with lofty ceilings, king-post trusses, and three unique sandstone arched windows found only here and at Caernarfon Castle. The bespoke kitchen and grand medieval-inspired dining table set the scene for memorable meals, while the cosy seating area with a sofa bed and log burner invites relaxing evenings. Historic replicas throughout the property add to the immersive atmosphere.
Outside, an enclosed, furnished patio with a gravel area offers a peaceful spot for alfresco dining or quiet moments with a book.
From this charming base, enjoy family adventures at Chester Zoo, thrills at The Crocky Trail, or a magical visit to Strawberry Field—woven into Beatles history.
Your Cheshire escape begins and ends each day in the serenity of Monastery Hall.
