Edgar’s super luxurious and quirky interiors offer a wonderful blend of tradition, bold contemporary design and modern comfort.
The fabulous large open plan kitchen, dining and living space is perfect for entertaining. Relax in the cosy library / snug or play until your heart is content in the fun filled games room (air hockey, table football, darts and a juke box).
Enjoy a night at the movies in the wonderful cinema / TV room, which is equipped with Sky / BT sport and internet connection for streaming your favourite films from your Netflix or Amazon account.
Edgar’s modern kitchen is gorgeous and very well equipped. However, if you don’t feel like cooking we will recommend some of Chester’s best restaurants (see our Guide to Chester) or introduce you to one of our amazing private chefs who will cook up a treat for you “at home” at Edgar!
Seven luxurious ensuite bedrooms sleep up to 14 people. Three of those bedrooms have super king size beds and four offer zip/link beds for added flexibility. One of the bedrooms (the Copper Suite) has its own lounge with a small sofa double bed, taking the maximum house capacity to 16 if required.
In summer months dine outside on Edgar’s spectacular river view patio, once described by renowned travel writer Alistair Sawday as “Chester’s equivalent of the Royal Box”. There is plenty of outside seating to eat, drink, sit back and relax whilst listening to the river Dee flow over the tidal weir.

Address: 22 City Walls, Chester, Cheshire CH1 1SB.
Directions provided upon booking.
There isn’t much we can’t do to help make your stay special. For an additional fee and with enough notice we can arrange a private chef, wine tasting, cheese tasting, in-house spa treatments and hair dressing, canapés and house decoration.
We partner with a number of local chefs all of whom are well known to us and whom can create extraordinary dining experiences for any occasion. From eight-course tasting menus to cheeky cocktail canapés, our recommended partners are on-hand to discuss options, menus, table decorations, arrival drinks, wine and fizz selections and anything else needed to ensure your occasion is perfect in every way.
If you’d like your dinner made easy, don’t want to go out and don’t feel like cooking, we recommend choosing homemade food delivery. Freshly prepared for you to enjoy – British, Spanish and Italian cuisine.
Fancy delicious freshly baked pastries with morning coffee? Then we suggest you order from one of our renowned bakehouses where all pastries and sourdough loaves are made on site at the artisan micro bakeries. Place your pastry box (or boxes!) and bread order which will be biked over to the Edgar House on a Saturday morning.
We can also arrange for you and your guests to have an Italian cookery course at the house lead by our renowned Italian chef, suitable for our adult and younger guests. This popular ‘extra’ will be educational, fun and extremely tasty.
For our younger guests we will arrange delightfully themed magical sleepovers with individual tepees, twinkling lights, balloons, lanterns along with themed breakfast trays for each child. Suitable for children aged 3 – 12 years, with themes such as, ‘In The Wild’ (perfect after a day our at Chester’s world-famous zoo!), the enchanting ‘I Believe in Unicorns’, or ‘Rose Gold’, for some ‘grown up glamour’. The team’s ‘izzy whizzy’ clear up the following day, making this kiddy’s sleepover party a breeze for the adults too. Pastel-Coloured Bouncy Castle, out on the lawn, whilst the adults watch on and enjoy the riverside setting, is a fine way for the whole family to celebrate a summer garden party.
We can advise you about the best venues in Chester and help to secure bookings and tickets. Alternatively, we can create a fabulous celebration for you at ‘home’ at Edgar. Whether you’re looking for a formal dinner party, a drinks soirée with the most divine canapés, a Summer BBQ on the terrace overlooking the River Dee or anything in between, the answer is Yes! What’s the question?
If you’d like a private in-house wine tasting, our recommended sommelier will be delighted to help. We can deliver first-class tastings to your bespoke requirements.
