"This was our 3rd visit to this lovely old farmhouse, which we have previously enjoyed staying at with our family. However on this occasion we felt that nothing had been improved upon since our last stay 5 years previous, with regards to repair and updating the property. We have felt very much at home here but now feel that things could have been better. The broken chair in kitchen, broken window taped up in bedroom, pool cues in games room broken, pool balls missing, table tennis bats in bad condition, dishwasher not working properly, grubby furniture in lounge & large bedroom, DVD on blink and no locks on bathrooms just a few things to mention, all of which were in need or repair/replacement on our last visit. Uncomfortable sofa bed in downstairs bedroom, & both showers needed attention. Also we reported mice at the property which were seen on a regular daily basis, which is unacceptable. Would also suggest highlighting the steps in the property as these are dangerous for elderly & also young children. We felt this was such a shame as we have loved staying here on previous occasions and we held it in regard as a special place for our family visits. With TLC & refurbishment this property could be a wonderful retreat for family holidays, but feel that now the time has come for some very much updating and improvement."

"Found S25907 very suited to our needsLocal to walks and amenities, with no need to put dogs in the car, secure garden/yard for animals and seating, although planted areas and beds need attentionKitchen very well equippedLounge area comfortable and clean, Wi-fi very goodBeds comfortable and clean with plenty of sheetsWas quite a lot of foot traffic in front of cottage as it is a shortcut to supermarket and canalAnd when windows open was a very strong smell of spices due to the close proximity to the chip shop, Chinese takeaway and Indian restaurant with all three within 50m as the crow or aroma fliesWe did have some noise on the Saturday night from a garden party in the apartments close by till early hours but when window was closed could not hear it to be fair due to the quality of the windowsAll in All a nice cottage which comfortably homes 3 couples and three dogs, so must expect some compromises for the priceWould stay again"

"We were a family of 8 adults and 2 small dogs that enjoyed an excellent week in S18158 over Christmas. S18158 has a really nice feel to it and was a real "home from home" for the family and was even decorated with a tree and xmas lights.The whole house was very well equipped with anything and everything that you are ever likely to need for a large family gathering. The property was very clean throughout and there was plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. The gardens were very kept very tidy. Well located for dog walking in the nearby Delamere Forest, for shopping in Chester, and the Goshawk pub only 250 yds away was very good. There is an excellent A to Z supplied by the owner which tells you everything about the property and the surrounding area. Would thoroughly recommend S18158 to any family planning to visit the area and hopefully we will return again in the future."

"We had a lovely family holiday in this wonderful house. The location is perfect very close to the train, the pub and dalamere forest on the doorstep with Chester just a few miles away. A beautiful location, lovely gardens and well equipped house. The rooms are huge and although there were 7 of us there was plenty of room. It really is a home from home. The owners are extremely helpful and genuinely can’t do enough for you. I would love to come back and do more, 3 nights isn’t enough to explore all the things around. I’d highly recommend this house and location, we thoroughly enjoyed it and all commented how lovely everything was. Thank you so much for making us welcome and hope to visit again soon."

"from the moment you open the car door you can smell cow manure. There is a dairy with cows next door, and I mean exactly opposite the wall. You can’t even leave the kitchen window open. The garden smells too and overlooks part of the working dairy. There is a little lane bu the side of the house which sees large lorries thundering past once every couple of hours. Cob webs galore in the kitchen and bathrooms. This place needs a really good clean and the dishwasher needs a really good service as it doesn’t clean the crockery at all. Sorry, but we ended up giving this place back cleaner than it was found in. Otherwise a quaint but very tired and outdated property."
