The cottage is truly beautiful in the perfect location, being just a taxi ride away from Chester itself. I cannot fault the accommodation in any way. We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone with all catering and facilities needed, nothing missing at all. We cooked two full meals and found all the utensils, pots, pans, glasses everything you need. Having researched the location beforehand you don't have to cook if you don't want to, there's a great foodie pub across the road, takeaways and a tesco supermarket 5 minutes drive away. Hot tub was cleaned every day, lovely and warm, easy to use, in a very private location. This is the best large accommodation I have ever stayed at, gorgeous open plan kitchen with great views over the expansive, manicured lawns, comfy beds, quiet location, plenty of fluffy bath towels, great sound system. It's an amazing house, not one of us wanted to leave. As soon as I have an excuse to book again, I will! Thank you so much for making our stay so special and memorable.

Complimentary cupcakes and wine on arrival. The cottage was amazingly well equipped, owners literally thought of every possible need even down to personal touches like throws on the couch (lovely to wrap up and sit on patio first thing and take in the beautiful morning view) and umbrella in cupboard. Cottage was warm, clean and cosy. Had issue with the speakers not working, owners came straight away to try and fix problem but when it couldn't be fixed we were offered her wireless speaker from home, nothing was too difficult. Hot tub lovely and easy to use. Helpful guide to cottage facilities available to use and easy to read. Cannot fault our stay from start to end. Check in and out was simple and flawless process. Safe, secure and lovely surroundings. Will be coming back, highly recommended.
