Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships by Claire M. Renzetti
Book DescriptionViolence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships provides a comprehensive analysis of same-sex domestic violence, addressing the major theoretical and treatment issues for both its victims and perpetrators. Its contents raise awareness among social service providers, of the problem of same-sex domestic violence and emphasize the need for special services for both victims and perpetrators. The publication of Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships signifies the growing official recognition of domestic violence within lesbian and gay relationships as a social problem worthy of serious attention and intervention. Editors Renzetti and Miley begin by providing readers with an overview of the problem of same-sex domestic violence and the responses of the domestic violence movement and other social service providers. Chapters then move to discussions of the current scarcity of services available to lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators of domestic violence and then evaluate specific treatment modalities for these client groups. Significantly, the special needs of lesbians and gays of color and those with HIV/AIDS are discussed. Chapters contain: * an historical overview of the study of same-sex domestic violence * a review and evaluation of theoretical explanations of same-sex domestic violence * an analysis of major problems in service provisions to gay and lesbian victims of domestic violence * suggestions for and evaluations of specific treatment modalities * an analysis of how racism intersects with homophobia to exacerbate the consequences of domestic violence * an analysis of the role of HIV/AIDS in same-sex domestic violence Contributors to this volume were actively addressing the problem of same-sex domestic violence before it was officially "discovered." Some were motivated by their experiences as victims and survivors of same-sex domestic violence, others by their concern about domestic violence in general. As a compilation of the writings of academics, clinicians, advocates, and activists, Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships bridges disciplinary and occupational boundaries and promotes a dialogue across fields and specialties. Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships is unique in that it is the only book available which comprehensively addresses the social service needs of gay and lesbian domestic violence victims and perpetrators. Specific suggestions are offered for improving service providers' responses to gay and lesbian victims of domestic violence. Social workers, counselors, practitioners and clinicians will find it especially useful, given that it addresses the effectiveness of particular treatment modalities for lesbian and gay victims and perpetrators.

From the Digital Game Developer Forum
As was written by M(r)s Harrison, (see article), people want a game they can turn on and play. EQ/SOL has ceased to be that game.
Since SOL debuted daily patches are the NORM. So if you play in the wrong time zone (specifically Australia and far east) sorry for ya.
Verant has a long history of being "anti-customer service." Why do you think they took down their message boards? (This does not mean that they don't scour various class boards looking for items to 'nerf' - they do)
Tech support channel (one and ONLY 1) is full. ALL day. Time for a response? 4 hours or so. I don't know about you - but I would rather be PLAYING than responding to the latest patch.
Want to call? Be prepared to pay. That's right no 1-800 number. More CS for ya.
Test server? Don't make me laugh. Test server is a normal production server with fewer people and more spawns.
Well then who tested SOL?
Good question. The answer? Fires of Heaven and Afterlife - two "uber" guilds whose members have enough dedication, equipment and most importantly TIME to separate themselves from the rest of the normal players.
Afterlife REQUIRES you to have a DSL or better connection to apply to their guild.
SOL was an expansion that is a direct result of DAOC. From horses to customizeable characters DAoC led the way and Verant (Sony) is trying to improve.
I'd make a comment about the loss of players, but the braintrust at EQ hid server populations abotu 3 months ago. Hmm, wasn't that about the time DAoC went live?

Summer is my husband's busy time. He owns his own business in the construction industry and if it is warm enough to be pouring concrete, he is generally working. Which means the kids and I are often left to find fun things to do on our own.
We actually love our little day trips together but I am always concerned that something will happen to my car, especially the tires. I don't know why – well maybe I do. Since they are the one thing that has contact with the road, they are a critical part of a safe trip. And I hate not feeling secure that my tires aren't up to the task of protecting my family when we hit the road.
Our most recent trip was a drive to Chicago to visit The Field Museum. We had a great time!
It was a beautiful day and we got to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the discovery of "Sue" the dinosaur.
For trips like these, I count on Sam's Club to help give me the peace of mind that we will have the safest trip possible!

It was our first experience with airBNB and we will repeat for sure! The house is lovely and clean, and the Mat explained everything we needed as we arrived. The location is very good to go to the Zoo and if you want to go to Chester is only 10min drive and there is lots of parking. We heard the lion in the morning as they said, but only when we opened the window, so don't worry for your rest time. It is a quiet area. We will repeat!DanielAugust 2016
The communication right from the start was fantastic, Lucy was on hand with ideas of where to go in the area and the house was super easy to find. Once arrived Lucy greeted us with a really warm welcome, showed us where everything was and made us a much-needed cup of tea. The room is spacious, with a comfortable bed and a black-out blind which we loved! Hearing the lions from the zoo was very surreal. Breakfast you can have in their spacious and modern kitchen, use of all the facilities. Lucy left out bread for toast, and you can help yourself to a cup of tea/coffee. We also had a few hours spare in the afternoon, so the conservatory was a great space to watch a bit of tv! The location is great, walking distance to the zoo (5 min drive), super tasty curry house just round the corner as well as the Wheatsheaf Inn pub down the road, bit like a Weatherspoon's - cheap and cheerful! You can also jump on the bus from there, £3.20 return to town. Overall a great stay and if we are ever in the area again we definately pop by!JenniJanuary 2017
Fantastic!! Only stayed for one night, we were very late but Matt and Lucy were very accommodating. It's way underpriced my expectations were a lot lower so they way over delivered!! Tip to Matt and Lucy... increase your prices!!MatthewOctober 2016
Great! I wasn't there long as was on a night shift but they were great in letting me know how to get in and very accommodating with my very early Sunday check in. Definitely recommendSteveSeptember 2016
Lucy and Mat are such a great hosts! They are always available to let you know everything you need and always tell us to feel free to do everything we need and use all what we want. I'll recommend you to spend some time with them, and their home is so lovely! Thanks you for your great welcome :)SaraDecember 2016
Lucy and mat were great hosts. Despite arriving earlier than originally predicted, they were responsive and made arrangements to let us in. Room was clean, and their house recently renovated was lovely. Excellent shower and kitchen. And so close to the zoo.AndrewOctober 2016
Beautiful home and fantastic warm and friendly couple Matt and Lucy are just brilliantGerardDecember 2016
Mat and Lucy's was the perfect place for us to stop overnight. They were both so welcoming after we arrived after a long journey in bad traffic, we felt very at home and enjoyed chatting with them. The room is nice and private and we enjoyed the novelty of being woken up by the lion in the morning! The house is ideally placed for Chester Zoo - we left our car, took the secret pathway straight round the back of the zoo, saw the cheatah on our way, and beat the cars queuing to get in round the front.Ed & SarahSeptember 2016

This was my first airbnb booking and experience and I was a little apprehensive. I received a warm and friendly welcome and after a gratefully received cuppa and short chat I retired to my room (I'd had a long journey) which was clean, tidy and welcoming. There were even nice touches like guest toiletries, magazines and a snack in the room for me. Thank you very much for the welcome and next time I'll bring a bottle of wine with me ☺JoannaOctober 2016
My hosts were wonderfully welcoming, very warm and chatty. We spent a little while getting to know each other a little bit then as I needed to do some work for a course I was attending they made a space for me in the kitchen and left me in peace to work as I needed. Just what I wanted from my host. Lovely people, recommend them to anyone. The house is clean and modern, everything working and where you'd expect to find it. Could not be better.SamOctober 2016
Very welcoming family and comfortable room. Only a brief stay but looking forward to the next time. Felt like home from home! Many thanks guys, hope to see you again soon. NigelPatNovember 2016
Really nice room with a lovely family, thanks guys.DaveOctober 2016
Hannah is a great host. I was made very welcome and the room was exactly as described. I liked my stay so much that I know I will be staying there again at least twice more during September. Thank you Hannah.GeorgeSeptember 2016
Hi Guys I have to say that is the most entertaining and enjoyable weekend that I have had in a long time!! You guys are some of the warmest, friendliest, most genuine and fun people that I have ever met, real salt of the earth people!! I would highly recommend anyone to stay with you guys and wish that I lived closer so that we are able to socialise on a regular basis. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and I wish you all the best for the future, whatever it may hold!! Chin chin, bottoms up!! Best wishes DeanDeanOctober 2016
Staying with Hannah and her family is a pleasure. They're chatty and well-travelled, so there's a lot to talk about. The room I stayed in was not the room listed, due to some repairs. The provided room was perfect: light and clean with a nice view of the countryside. A nice touch was that Tom carried my bag from the car into the room.JacobSeptember 2016

Heidi was a great host. She was really welcoming. Everything was as it appeared in the pictures. It was really easy for me to get to and from uni and had a Sainsbury's right across the road.AshleyJuly 2016
Heidi was very welcoming and made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. She also had lots of knowledge about the local area that was useful to us and very interesting. She made a great effort to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.CatherineJuly 2016
Heidi made my friend and I feel very welcome. She showed us round and explained the house. Lovely breakfast in the morning. We had a great stay!SarahSeptember 2016
Heidi did everything in her power to make me feel welcome including completing my registration on AirBnB (my first time) and then welcomed me into her home. The bedroom was the larger of the two bedrooms in the house. The bed was firm to sleep on, with no sag and yet still had a cossetting softness that was very inviting. All linen was clean and fresh. Although Heidi did not need to leave until later in the day she was up early in the morning to match my leaving time, made a lovely blended tea (in a teapot) and made sure I had all I needed. A perfect hostess.EvertSeptember 2016
Heidi was a great host, the house was very clean and tidy. Great location for a getaway. I would recommend this place and host!BenSeptember 2016
Heidi was a very welcoming host and we had some great conversations about travel and politics during our stay! The room was as advertised, comfy and with everything you'd need (not a TV, but that was fine for us).DanMay 2016
Heidi was an absolutely fantastic host, she received me really warmly! The bed is super confortable and I really had a great night sleep! Breakfast was also perfect, served with a great moka coffee :)SergioMay 2016
Heidi was very welcoming, came out of the house to try to find me as I was a bit lost (it happens)! We talked about common interests. The experience was like staying with a friend. I went for a walk down to Parkgate which has a very interesting history. Slept well, drove to work through lovely countryside - what a change for someone used to city traffic. A nice home from home and I would be very happy to stay again when in the area. Thanks Heidi.DeborahMay 2016

The room itself is really spacious as is the ensuite with great shower, (very thankful for that after a long days hike). Very peaceful location ensuring a great nights sleep, just off the high street in the heart of the village. Two pubs right around the corner and a couple of bistros within a few minutes walk. Also very close to the river if you fancy a stroll. Everything just as described. I must pay a huge thank you to our wonderful host Jane who made us feel very welcome in her home. We were actually Jane's first airbnb guests, but absolutely certain we won't be the last. Jane without doubt provided our best airbnb experience to date and we very much hope to stay with her again. Thanks Jane!PeterOctober 2016
Huge bedroom with two proper beds, the double and single up on the first floor. Plenty of floor space for two people to do yoga. Lots of light, high ceilings. Bathroom en-suite. On street parking. Central to local shops, just down the road is a fair-trade coffee house. Fabulous host who helped with all our questions.AlDecember 2016

What a lovely B&B ! Very comfortable en-suite room with double & single beds. Great shower & all the facilities you need, with lots of nice touches in the room eg selection of hot drinks. Thank you Jane for being flexible & so helpful as our plans changed.PeteOctober 2016
This was a very last minute booking & Jane was very accommodating. Very spacious room with ensuite. Drink making & basic breakfast facilities a bonus. No TV in room & wifi not good so bear that in mind if you have kids! We had games with us so not a problem (and quite nice to get away from gadgets!) Very nice pub a short walk over the bridge who allow kids until 8pm & a coffee house over the road. Lovely location & a great price too!JoJoDecember 2016

The room has everything you need and a good night sleep is guaranteed since the neighbourhood is nice and quite. Richard is an excellent host who makes sure everything is to your satisfaction and is really helpful if you need directions to the grocery store, airport or wherever you want to go. If you want to explore the city of Liverpool he also has a lot of tips of where to go and what to see.

Carol's airbnb is as described. There is a two pound cash add on which I have not come across in any other airbnb.AndrewFebruary 2015
Carol is a really great Pearson communicative, pleasant, really welcoming. Her place was bril, she don't live there but I was shearing it with few nice lads. Always clean ! Can't wheat till next stay.MateuszSeptember 2016
I only spent one night at Carol's place. I didn't meet Carol personally. I had a room downstairs and I was sharing the place with another man who was staying upstairs. The house was clean and my room was warm. TV was working fine, so were the shower and the toilet. The place was about 40 minutes by bus from Liverpool (Line 1 from Central Liverpool, get off at Little Sutton, walk 5 minutes). There are a pub and a small chinese takeaway about 5 minutes walking. It was quite convenient to have dinner. I couldn't reach Carol by phone but we exchanged texts/e-mails. Carol was very kind in her messages. I recommend this place.JulienOctober 2016
The Peaceful room is a cozy room in a very lovely house. I had a such deep sleep in the bed. And thank you very much for everything to dear Carol. I should be back again.JinJune 2016
It was fantastic.. i really enjoyed house ...very nice landlady.. very clean.. safe . Overall i was over happyisaacApril 2016
The room was good value and the house was clean and well kept. There were some issues with privacy and and communication that need sorting out, but otherwise fine.JuliaOctober 2016
Carol was very obliging and made me very welcome in her home, a great nights sleepPaulNovember 2014
HORRIBLE experience with Carol. Unless you want to risk ending up HOMELESS, just don't deal with this horrible person. When I arrived to the place, it was fully booked. As if that wasn't bad enough, Carol made it impossible to comunicate with her. Carol could just not be bothered to answer the phone no matter how many times I rang her. She would just message me back through the airbnb chat with a lot of delay between my messages and hers (45min) and her interaction was just total nonsense. She was just really good at making the situation totally frustrating and outrageous. So, don't book with her if you want to make sure you have a place to sleep.JorgeDecember 2016

Very friendly and communicative host, clean nicely furbished house in a quiet & safe neighbourhood.FrancesMay 2016
We felt very much at home here! Daniel was very responsive to any questions we had and we felt very welcome, there was a lovely thoughtful welcome pack in the kitchen and bedroom. The house is well located for the shopping and sites of Cheshire and we appreciated the parking and the garden.KarenApril 2016
Communication was great. Easy to find with the Tomtom. Clean & tidy easy access to whatever you plan to do in the area. Little notes everywhere to help you out & brekky providedJulie-AnneMay 2016
Daniel was very responsive during all of our communication and arranged for everything in good time. When we arrived at the house everything was nice and tidy, and thoughtful notes left around the house to help with things like TV, coffee machine, a map to the nearest shop etc. Had a great time, thanks for opening your house up to us.AledJuly 2016
Lovely house in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Daniel was flexible over our check-out time and all communication was quick, clear and friendly. The photos don't do it justice - we really felt at home! Light airy rooms, comfortable bedrooms and breakfast provided. It was just what we needed as a base for our trips in to Chester and North Wales.SuzanneAugust 2016

I had a very nice and relaxing time in the caravan, even though the weather was rainy and stormy outside I felt very comfortable. Tim is a friendly guy and he made sure I had everything I needed and an enjoyable stay. I'd come back again for sure :)AnnaDecember 2015
Tim is a really kind host and made me feel very welcome from the start. I will definitely be staying at his home again. Thanks Tim.Michael April 2016
Tim was friendly, warm and welcoming. The caravan is cosy and comfortable, very relaxing.AndyMay 2016

Dave's place was absolutely lovely, such a nice place to stay and for a very reasonable price. We really enjoyed ourselves, Dave was very helpful with queries we had. No complaints at all.stephanieJanuary 2017
This is a prime example of a first class apartment to rent. The whole apartment was clean and tidy, lovely comfy beds and plenty of fresh towels. Nice showers with plenty of hot water. I would recommend this place to anyone, The apartment has everything you need. Dave has been an excellent host and even filled the fridge with milk, juice and breakfast.ChrisJanuary 2017
Daves apt was the perfect place to stay in Chester. 5 mins walk from city centre and free parking made it so easy. The apt is extremely comfortable and immaculately clean. Dave was a pleasure to deal with and went over and above to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Thanks Dave would highly recommend your placeAnne MarieDecember 2016
A modern yet homely apartment ideally located in Chester! The mezzanine floor is great fun although we didn't need to use it as there was enough space in the rest of the property. Highly recommended!NicoleJanuary 2017
everything is perfectcatherineDecember 2016
Excellent service and communication from the start. Spoke with Dave through messages on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) as was out of the country. Very quick to respond and easy to explain what was going on if I had any questions. Apartment was in great condition, fully stocked with everything we required for our stay. Fridge had milk, bread, orange juice, jams etc in upon arrival which was a really nice personal touch. Apartment block is quiet and parking was right next to the entrance. Did worry that the main road might have traffic noise but its set back enough so you don't hear anything. Would highly recommend the apartment to anyone looking to stay close to the centre (5 minute walk) or certainly race days/weekends. Looking to stay again in the near future as the price, location, landlord and apartment far out way other more expensive options!!GeorgeJanuary 2017

What a great place! Super clean, fantastic bedding and the location is incredibly convenient for all the major attractions of Chester. I would recommend this place to family and friends without hesitation. We'll be back.AdrianApril 2016
We had a delightful stay at Sarah's cottage in the heart of Chester. The position was ideal with everything within walking distance. Even though the weather was not ideal we were comfortable and snug. Close to museum and amphitheatre and walls outside the door.KristinaMay 2016
Visiting Chester was made so simple thanks to Sarah. The cottage was beautifully presented, With everything we needed plus more! The parking permits were easy to use so we could stay parked in the centre of Chester for free. considering how close to the centre the cottage is and how expensive the parking in the centre is this was a bonus. The cottage was in a quiet side street, we could hear no traffic and the neighbours could not have been quieter. The bed was so comfortable my own now feels inadequate.... All round a Beautifully presented, clean, cosy home that we will look forward to staying in again. Sarah was a perfect host that communicated well and we cannot thank you enough for letting us stay in your home.GaryMay 2016
A great location with a warm homely feel. Made better by the little touches - milk, tea, coffee and a bottle of Prosecco. Will be sure to stay here again when visiting our home town.CarolineJuly 2016
Lovely accommodation which is finished to a high standard. The decor and furnishings are very comfortable and the place was spotless. Location couldn't have been better for Chester, everything was easily within walking distance. Parking permits were provided which was very helpful. I would definitely stay again and also recommend to friendsMoragOctober 2015
Lovely cottage, clean/homely, really conveniently located to the centre. Sarah was really helpful and very quick at replying to all of our questions, she made us very welcome.NaomiNovember 2015
Perfect little cottage walking distance from everything. Very clean. Great host.ChrisMay 2016
What a find..what a gem! My husband and I stayed in Sarah's little cottage in early January and it was perfect. The house has obviously been renovated and decorated with great love, care and attention to detail. Everything we needed was provided (including parking permits for on street parking right outside the door) The weather was very rainy during our few days so it was just perfect to have a cosy space to come back to and relax. The location is amazing, right in the centre of Chester, right beside the walls but on a lovely, quiet street. Sarah was very prompt in replying to all my questions and providing directions on finding and entering the property. We would love to return to Chester when the sun is shining and would definitely use Sarah's cottage again and sip a glass of wine in the lovely back yard! I would highly recommend this property - you won't be disappointed.SiobhanJanuary 2016

My stay exceeded all expectations, it was a very cosy, homely room, I got lots of extras that I didn't expect: tea&biscuits, space in the fridge, towels, mini - wardrobe ... Fantastic! just 1 min walk from Revolution where my Xmas party was :-)SashaDecember 2016
Cristina met me on arrival, was very open and friendly, inviting me to use the kitchen for tea, coffee etc (all of which she'd left out.) She was very accommodating and understanding as there had been changes to my expected arrival time. The room was exactly as expected having seen the photograph. The bed was very comfortable and warm and I had two excellent nights' sleep. The room was spotlessly clean. I was in Chester on business and would certainly stay with Cristina again if back in Chester. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with Christina and her boyfriend, and learning about their country.... though these conversations were in no way as dry as I've made them sound. They were full of interest and fun with lots of laughter. I even meet the pet rabbit! Christina is a joy to meet and know... as is Jon (hope the spelling is correct!)BarbaraDecember 2016
The place was as described and Christina was very nice and accommodating. It was a nice place to stay and I would be willing to stay in the future.AndrewNovember 2016
I was Christina's very first guest ! Christina is friendly and welcoming. The room is spacious and the bed was comfortable with clean bedding . Clean towels and toiletries were offered in the room . There is use of living space and kitchen . Christina and her boyfriend made me feel very welcome . The location is excellent for exploring Chester .jacki October 2016
Cristina was lovely, the room was quiet and clean. Would definitely recommend, lovely quiet neighbourhood but only a 5 minute walk into the centre.AntonyDecember 2016
It was a fantastic experience. The perfect room for a short stay. The house is very clean and the landlords respected my willing for a calm environment to study. It's very near to the city center, while Tesco is a 2min walk, if you need something to buy. I feel that this single room is currently underrated; so don't waste your time on seeking other accommodations. Very cheap, very warm and 2 guys there to make you feel like your home.PerisOctober 2016
My second time staying here and it was just as nice as the first. The room was clean and tidy with breakfast materials providedJessicaNovember 2016
Nothing to add further. Check my previous review. I was so satisfied that I extended my stay for 1 more day. ExcellentPerisOctober 2016

I had a lovely stay at The Stables. Fantastic location, a stones throw from Chester with a top country pub within walking distance. The reception was warm and friendly which reflected the immaculate accommodation set in an impressive stable conversion. This was all topped off with a lovely breakfast. A good reason to work away!LukeFebruary 2016
Move over Stone Henge and Big Ben, The Stables is where it's at in the UK! Ken, Carol and Oliver are the nicest people you could meet and their home is amazing! If you are traveling within a hundred miles of the stables do yourself a favor and book a night or ten.AndrewSeptember 2015
Was welcomed by the family with a cup of tea or two and a chat. Really beautiful area so close to Chester. The house and my room were exceptional. I was able to get a very good meal just up the road at a local pub. Would love to return some time to explore the area more fully.KimNovember 2015
Ken and Carol are a delightful couple, welcoming and hospitable in equal measure. We immediately felt at home and the house is a lovely home. The bedroom wouldn't disgrace a five star hotel, beautifully decorated and immaculate. The bathroom was luxurious, fully functioning with some funky electronics to boot. The house is situated in a lovely village setting. The local pub provides excellent food.ChristopherSeptember 2015
Ken and Carol were the perfect hosts! After a hectic arrival, as we hurried to get to a wedding, they made us feel instantly welcome and at home. We couldn't have asked for a better first AirBnB experience. From leaving bottles of water out for when we returned from the wedding, to dropping us back into Chester early the next morning- they went above and beyond in every way. And top it all off, their house, and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful! Other massive plus points included a cosy and comfortable bed, an incredible shower and a delicious breakfast! Would highly recommend. We'll definitely be returning :)ThomasFebruary 2016
A lovely experience in a beautiful home. Carol and Ken made our stay extra special and went out of their way for us which we really appreciated. We really enjoyed breakfast and the conversation. Brilliant communication and if we are in Chester again we would love to stay at the Stables again.SharonSeptember 2015
We booked a one night stay last minute to extend our long weekend before moving on to a 4 star hotel. Well we wished we had spent all the nights with Ken and Carol. The facilities were superior to the hotel and the friendliness and amazing good value made it a very memorable stay. We will defintately return for longer and spend more time exploring the beautiful area where it is situated.LindseyOctober 2016
It was a great experience staying with Ken and Carol they are wonderful hosts.janetFebruary 2016

David y Anne fueron muy amables. El apartamento era fantástico, muy limpio y bonito. Igual que se muestra en las fotos. Tiene una terraza que comunica con jardín de césped desde el que se respira tranquilidad. Nos recibieron con un desayuno espectacular. Desde la casa se puede ver la salida del sol. Es un lugar muy tranquilo y bonito. El acceso con coche no es complicado. Nos dejaron aparcar el coche delante de su casa. El apartamento tenía una cocina y un baño grandes y muy bien equipados. La cama XXL era muy cómoda y muy confortable. Todo el apartamento estaba muy limpio y impecable. Ellos fueron muy atentos en todo momento. La comunicación con David fué perfecta, nos indicaron perfectamente para poder llegar a su casa. Solamente nos quedamos una noche pero la próxima vez repetiríamos. Muy recomendable. Todo perfecto. Muchas gracias David y Anne!!!MarcelOctober 2016
Fantastic welcome by David and his wife. Made me feel very much at home, they really went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The accommodation is very private and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable. I'll definitely stay again next time I am in the Chester area.MartynAugust 2016
Great location, fabulous accommodation and lovely hostshollieAugust 2016
My wife and I stayed here for one night on our way to London and we couldn't have asked for anything more. David and Anne were very welcoming hosts and the place was perfect for what we needed. We really enjoyed the renovated stables as they were amazing looking (inside and out). We planned on going into Liverpool for the night, but Chester was so close and Anne gave us valuable information about parking and sightseeing in the city so we decided to stay close-by, which we're glad we did. Chester is great! Breakfast in the morning was fantastic! David prepared us far more food than we could have hoped to eat, but we tried our best and did fairly well, I think. If we had had more time then it would have been nice to chat some more about David and Anne's travels. Highly recommend!BenSeptember 2016
Anne and David were fabulous. They welcomed us warmly, showed us around the place, and gave us advice about where to eat. We loved the Stables, and their yard and situation in general. They payed a lot of attention to little details and amenities that made the experience one of the best we've had. David also made us an amazing breakfast the next morning. We can't say enough about this place!MelanieAugust 2016
Would definitely recommend a stay here. We loved the stables, has everything you could need and more with a relaxed and homely feel. The hosts were brilliant, very welcoming with lots of information to share and a very yummy breakfast to set us up for the day. Lovely people, lovely property 5 stars from us.WendySeptember 2016
Excellent standard of accommodation. Very cosy; wish I had the opportunity to have stayed longer and more time with the hosts.JosephNovember 2016
Both David and Anne were there to make us welcome on arrival. They were very flexible about arrival time. We were shown the Stables Studio apartment (which was beautifully appointed) and everything was explained clearly. Bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing. David and Anne were friendly hosts.ColinJuly 2016
