Formerly a boutique hotel, Chester’s white-painted Edgar House is one of the city’s most iconic residences. Today this Georgian property serves as a luxury holiday home that can sleep up to 16 people in sumptuous comfort whilst overlooking the River Dee. Purchased by entrepreneur Mark Ellis in 2021, it is the first in a series of high-end properties that make up Daisy Joy Escapes, with holiday homes in Anglesey and Cumbria to follow soon.
