About Melanie Warburton
I worked on the board of a large company for many years but delighted in running the River House as a top end holiday cottage. So I decided to make it my full time job and dedicate myself to making it the best self-catering property in Chester. After nearly 7 years I'm an experienced provider of short stay holidays.
Melanie Warburton purchased this house in 2010
Why Melanie Warburton chose Chester
I would like the River House to be as comfortable as your own house, if not more so. We like to think we have covered every little detail to surpass your expectation of your stay at The River House. My aim is to give you a taste of what it is like to live in the very best location in Chester in one of the best positions on the river.
In the middle of city, busy by day and tranquil by night, our guests have left wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor about their visits and I'm delighted that the River House is a part of their lovely holiday experience.
What makes this house unique
Location, location, location. The river is literally in front of you. The boats pass by, the ducks waddle along and the salmon come a leaping in Spring. Every day there is something wonderful to see. Park up, forget the car, and enjoy all the benefits of the city centre within a 5 minute walk. Chester has plenty of festivals to enjoy. It is full of wonderful shops hidden in the Tudor rows, good restaurants, museums and great connections to North Wales, Liverpool and Manchester. The properties back on to a beautiful park with a wonderful miniature railway for children. Chester Race course is a 10 minute walk away, Chester Zoo and the Blue Planet Aquarium are a short drive away.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We chose to stay at The River House due to it's location and upon our arrival were glad we had.
The house is right on the river and as other reviewers have pointed out a short stroll into town.
Booking the property was straightforward and Melanie was very helpful with her suggestions on places to eat etc.
The house itself is tastefully decorated and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the decor. The outdoor courtyard to the rear is small but is a pleasant retreat to sit with a cup of tea or glass of wine.

Fantastic Family Stay
What a great stay we had with our boys and their grandparents at The River House. We needed to get away for a few days’ relaxation and it was just perfect for us and our twins. Right on the river, our boys loved the ducks, the boats, the ice creams, the garden, the park. We loved the shops, bars and restaurants, just minutes from the oasis of the River House.
The moment we walked in it was our home. Melanie had left everything we needed to start our stay. There is everything you can think of at the house. I have to say that it’s immaculately clean and the beds and towels are all so fresh. It’s so comfortable and homely we didn’t want to leave. We had such a good time, we’ll be back.
Beautiful house in a great lication
My friends and I stayed for 4 nights. It was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So convenient for everything.
We enjoyed the garden area and patio in the wonderful sunshine.
Beautiful, outstanding, Perfect
We have stayed in another of the owner Melanie's holiday homes for the past few years as a group of 6 (the water's edge) but this year we stayed at the River House.
This house is amazing. Tastefully furnished, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the rooms had ample storage.The garden is well kept and a wonderful addition to the house.The hoise has everything you could need and everything has been thought of for you.
The house has plenty of parking for uptown 4 cars and the location couldn't be better. Beautiful views from the house of the River Dee. The house is located in the city centre but you would never know, it's feels like your tucked away in the countryside.
We could not find fault with this house and Melanie is the perfect hostess.
We would not hesitate to recommend this house to people. So much so we have already booked this for next year . A+++++
A very well looked after property
We enjoyed our stay at River House very much. The location of the house could not be bettered sitting as it does overlooking the River Dee and within a short walking distance of the town.
The house is very well looked after and equipped to a high standard. The reason I only gave four stars is that we felt that apart from the kitchen which is large and adequately caters for six, the other rooms were smaller than we expected. We would have liked a bit more room in the lounge. There was insufficient space in the bedrooms for our belongings and more shelf space would have been appreciated.
That said, we really enjoyed our stay there with friends and would come again as the position of the house is excellent.
First Class Accommodation
The house is a home from home, a lot of thought has gone into the furnishings and the house is really well equipped. The location is superb, on the river in a beautiful location. We really enjoyed our stay.
Just gorgeous
This was a repeat visit to River House for one of us and a first time visit for the other.
We were both delighted with everything about the house - immaculately presented, clean, comfortable and with a little supply of basics to get our break off to a good start as soon as we arrived.
The location is fabulous and looking out over the water from the comfy, peaceful sitting room is a very therapeutic experience.
Great beds and a warm and cosy property.
The purpose of our trip was to shop until we dropped...and we did.
Chester shops were very near and we went to Cheshire Oaks shopping village (approx 20 mins) to get more bargains.
We're saving up now for the next time.
Would recommend River House wholeheartedly.
