Beautiful cottage, so comfortable and welcoming. Ideal location for lots of National Trust properties, Jodrell Bank, and Bridgewater Gardens. The cottage was spotless, had plenty of china etc. and was beautifully decorated. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again for a holiday in the area.

We booked The Stables to be near family who live close by. It was perfect for that and we really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and well provided, and the hosts are lovely.
