Enjoy the Pause is one home with one host, a calm base in the heart of historic Chester.
My hosting journey began in Manchester in 2016, and Enjoy the Pause opened its Chester doors here in 2019.
In 2024, Enjoy the Pause was named Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year at the Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards.
Even to this day I still check the cleaning myself, prepare the house before you arrive and share the same local recommendations I give my own friends and family.

We had the most wonderful stay at Enjoy the Pause. From the moment we stepped through the door, it felt like a true home-away-from-home. The house is spotlessly clean, incredibly cosy, and styled with such thoughtful, calming touches … Having private parking included was also a massive bonus for central Chester. Paula was a fantastic host … We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a city break!
Another excellent stay at Enjoy the Pause. The location is perfect being so close to the City but with parking! The Tesco so close is perfect, fantastic restaurants and history close by from Roman Chester. Beds are comfy and the shower is good!
Lovely house located on a quiet close just a short walk away from the town. Shorter walk to the riverside and close to a starting point to walk up the city walls.
Amazing house! Very central in Chester, super equipped for a family: kitchen with everything you need and more, cosy beds. Also super nice decorated and spotless clean!
Absolutely fantastic stay. The house is spotlessly clean, with everything you need provided. It was quiet, calm and very relaxing. Paula was lovely to deal with. We had our own parking space. We were situated in the heart of the city, within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here.
Beautiful, convenient location, fully equipped house, a home away from home. Comfy beds and nice enclosed garden area.
Chester's walls, the timber framed Rows and the River Dee are all a short walk from the house. On a longer stay, the North Wales coast, Liverpool and Cheshire's castles are around an hour away by car.
