Also lunch and breakfast at the Visitor Centre were excellent. The cottage itself is great with a lovely new kitchen and bathroom, an excellent shower, big luxurious bath and comfy bed. WiFi coverage is excellent. Our biggest disappointment was how cold the cottage was to start with, the central heating does not seem capable in cold winter weather. However from Tuesday it warmed up and was very cosy thereafter. I don't know whether this was because the weather had warmed a little, or whether the cottage had been empty and unheated before our arrival and takes 4 days to warm up? Certainly we were very grateful for the provision of stand alone electric radiators, even though these were filthy. A shame as the cleanliness of the cottage was generally good, except for these and the sofa, which needed a good hoover on arrival, as mentioned by a previous visitor. We were also surprised that the log burner was not laid ready for use (or even cleaned out from its last use) as in other cottages we have stayed in. Finally, we have definitely been spoiled by the generosity of welcome baskets in cottages lately, so were rather surprised to receive nothing here, even though other visitors had left thanks for goodies. We will try not to take this personally!

We love this place when visiting family. 2 minute walk into the forest for early morning strolls, a short drive into Chester and surrounded by things to do. We loved the addition of the stair gate for our toddler and the fact we donât have to take things like a bath mat etc. it really is a hidden treasure
