Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'beautifully clean'. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, with the village pub and shop within walking distance. The peaceful surroundings and easy access to nearby areas like Chester enhance the property's appeal.
Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the cottage 'comfortable' and 'cosy'. The spacious kitchen and bedrooms are appreciated, although some guests mention the sofas could be more comfortable.
While the cottage is equipped with necessary amenities and guests are generally satisfied, there are comments about the overgrown garden, difficulty operating the TV, and suggestions for additional items like a dishwasher. These points indicate room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The thoughtful gestures of leaving milk, biscuits, and Welsh cakes are well-received, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, as these gifts are based on individual experiences, they may not be guaranteed for all stays.

David
It's a comfortable cottage with good facilities and very well located on the edge of Norley village in beautiful countryside but only 25 mins by car (or less) to all major facilities. No dishwasher, though, so be prepared to do lots of washing up if cooking.

It was clean, well equpped and beautifully appointed. We had a lovely warm home to come back to after exploring Cheshire and enjoyed a drink at the local pub one evening. (We did have to go out and buy toilet roll as there was only one in the property which had two bathrooms, but this was a minor inconvenience.)

It was comfy and well resourced. The shower room would benefit from a heated towel rail and a non-slip mat.
