Delightful cottage in a lovely location.The under floor heating kept it beautifully warm and cosy. The large sofa and chair were very comfortable as were the beds. There was a delicious cake waiting for us - much appreciated after a long drive. The garden was a super size for our lurcher, with lots of areas to sniff. Could have done with more pots Read moreand pans (six vegetarians eat a lot of veg!) Would definitely recommend this cottage. We will be back. Hide

This is a fantastic cottage in a great location for local attractions, including especially Chester and Chester Zoo. We also visited Bewildewood Cheshire and Cheshire Oaks shopping centre among other things. We have stayed in quite a few 'premium' cottages over the years and this one is just as memorable especially for the deck overlooking the pondRead more and the generous amount of space. Hide
