Lovely quiet location, beautiful gardens. Our son loved the tree ladders! Beautiful views from the decked areas and of course the hot tub topped it all off. Great communication from the owner paul. We'll definitely be back for another chilled weekend.

Brilliant short break
Lovely accommodation. Clean, tidy and in beautiful surroundings. Host Paul was welcoming and helpful but not overbearing and easy to contact. Upstairs room with balcony was extremely comfortable and a lovely sun trap. Little bedroom downstairs was a great bonus. Hot tub was clean,and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. Kitchen was well equipped and whole annex was modern and had everything you could need. Outside areas were well kept and lovely decking to eat on . Would love to return.

Relaxing and Peaceful
A great location to de-stress and unwind and although the weather was mix of sunshine and showers, the covered area overlooking the garden meant that we could still sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. We had planned on visiting both Manchester and Chester by train however with train times at just once per hour, we skipped Manchester this time and used the Park & Ride from Chester Zoo to Chester. We also visited Lady Lever art gallery at Port Sunlight and ended up spending several hours in the village once parked up (free parking) As with any holiday, there are always elements that aren't the same as 'home'... Such as the one bathroom which is off the upstairs bedroom meaning our 17 year old had to come into our room at night by phone torchlight... Not what we're used to but it was fine but be aware if you have a guest staying in the bed downstairs off the lounge that may need the bathroom a few times in the night... A lovely week away though and one tip I would share is to set your phone sat nav from inside the property and look there if you need to head out left or right from the drive. We got a bit lost looking for Tescos on the first evening and my sat nav lost it's signal completely so keeping a good old fashioned map in your car too would be a good idea - We used ours a few times :)

Wonderful Week
We had an amazing week the house is beautiful and set in a lovely location. Highlights are the deck in the tree canopy and the hot tub. Totally rural location but very close to so many fun things to do. Chester zoo, blue planet, Cheshire oaks, Chester to name a few. Paul was a great host very helpful when we needed help but left us to it the rest of the week. We will definitely return.

Clean and totally private annexe which was very comfortable and had everything you could want from a mini break. Peaceful, beautiful views, but also not too far from amenities and a great base to explore Chester. Use of hot tub made it all the more special!

Great stay definitely be back
The host Paul was very helpful and made finding the place really easy. Having him close by and only a text away was so helpful. The place was so clean not even a spec of dust and the welcome cookies where a massive hit with the kids. Super comfy beds nice and clean Paul has thought of everything there was games and books and lots to do in the garden for the kids my daughter especially loved the archaey. Lots to do on the doorstep and really close to Chester zoo. Yet also very tranquil and peaceful area.paul was always on hand to help with lighting the hot tub and il definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.
