"Pros: Great location, picturesque surroundings and very welcoming, accommodating hosts. Cons: Dated technology in the living room. Barn would benefit from having a shower. Does not have a washing machine in the barn as advertised although hosts were willing to do laundry for us. Sky light leaking, windows secured with wires and the lime scale encrusted kettle need to be addressed."

"We had a fantastic week staying at The Barn, Pye Corner Farm, Thomasine is very friendly and welcoming. We particularly loved sitting outside in the pretty under covered area looking out at the garden which is huge with grounds to explore where we found 3 ponds. My son loved jumping in the pool and the trampoline. Chester is not far away, the Zoo is worth visiting. We had a really nice meal at the local pub The White Lion and also The Hornsmill in Helsby nearby. We were sad to leave this beautiful place and wished we could have stayed for a bit longer."

"There was not enough bath towels and no hand towels.We couldn’t do any washing.The owner didn’t come to the door to say good bye. She sent some one else instead."

"What a gem of a place! The house and the grounds are beautiful. The hosts are lovely too and have made a terrific job converting the barn and landscaping the grounds. The covered terrace is fantastic and means you can enjoy being outside regardless of the weather. The secure field is perfect for our wily, wired fox terrier!We would definitely recommend and hope to return."

"Great location, really quiet and peaceful but not far from everywhere wanted to go. Lovely host and our little boy loved exploring the grounds."

"Lovely place to stay, very unique cottage. Unfortunately we could not take advantage of the beautiful grounds as the weather was so bad. Good central location for all the places we wanted to visit. Owner is very welcoming and helpful."

"I need to go back. It was so lovely that I didn’t much want to go sightseeing! However my 2 young children did. Had great weather most of the time too. Lovely owners too."

"We very much enjoyed this cottage however with a few tweaks it could have been perfect .Rather quirky features the table football in the sitting area was frankly bizarre where it would be better placed elsewhere ,kitchen was tiny and not well thought out ,there was room for a dishwasher in the room off the kitchen . The gardens were beautiful and outside seating lovely ,we had breakfast outside which was very special.I would recommend this lovely cottage"

"Absolutely stunning property and grounds: photos and description didn’t do it justice."

"Excellent cottage, beautiful garden. Very relaxing, great pub in the village. Hosts very welcoming and friendly. Cottage well appointed and clean. Outside space was great in the sunshine!"

"We absolutely loved our week here. The Barn is simply stunning with lots of quirky "extras" ie the "stars" at night. We loved the grounds too and really enjoyed sitting on the Terrace watching the bird life. Our grandsons, who visited whilst we were there, loved it too. Only, very, very slight negative for us was lack of a shower but for just one week we managed!!"

"Beautiful barn conversion, which was very spacious in nice quiet surroundings. Plenty of rooms for dogs, lovely 3 big secure fields for them and plenty of walks around. The owners were helpful,polite and friendly. Already planning our next trip back."

"A lovely spacious property in a quiet location.Welcoming and helpful, but unintrusive owners... perfect.Great walks from the doorstep or in the Delamere Forest which is just a few miles away.White Lion pub is a 10 minute walk, serving good food at very reasonable prices.Great for the two of us, but back to back sofas and only one toilet (in the bathroom) would put us off booking for 4.... although others I am sure would work around this.The outdoor space is great, sheltered and covered, so we were able to lunch outside even on days when the temperature was only 10 or 12C."

"Great place to stay"

"This is a lovely dog friendly barn conversion with very helpful owners and fantastic outside sitting area and gardens"
