Liongate Lodge, Tattenhall, Near Chester

About this property

Liongate Lodge is a unique romantic hideaway set within the private grounds of Bolesworth Castle, offering an unforgettable escape in the heart of Cheshire’s rolling countryside, and the perfect base to explore the surrounding areas of North Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire.

Built in around 1868, this charming lodge once housed the estate gardener and now stands beautifully restored as a luxurious and opulent retreat for two. It offers sweeping views of the lake and surrounding gardens, and a front-row seat to the quiet majesty of Bolesworth Castle itself.

As you enter through the arches of Chowley Gate and follow the drive through the historic parkland, Liongate Lodge appears on your right - a picture of timeless elegance. Step through the grand front door into a striking hallway that sets the tone for your entire stay—rich in character, elegantly styled, featuring a dramatic five-tier chandelier with eighteen lamps which stretches from the ground to first floor ceiling, geniously reflected by the bespoke mirror. Deep, plush sofas in the sitting room invite you to sink in and unwind beside the crackling log burner, while a Smart television, discreetly hidden behind a stylish mirror, promises cosy nights in. The walls are painted in rich, moody tones, and every piece of furniture has been thoughtfully selected to create a space that feels both indulgent and effortlessly welcoming. At the centre, a mirrored coffee table conceals a hidden bar and an ice bucket for creating cocktails in style. The ornate ceiling is undoubtedly the focal point of the room, which can be enjoyed and admired from the comfort of the sofa from the reflection in the mirrored fireplace surround. The kitchen and dining nook is a bright and airy space, bathed in soft natural light that pours through expansive bi-folding patio doors. Sleek pale granite worktops contrast beautifully high spec appliances and a striking gold-leaf island, a true centrepiece that’s as practical as it is stunning. Throw open the bi-folding doors into the private garden where a spacious patio awaits with a bubbling hot tub, a fire pit for evening gatherings, and serene estate views that complete the perfect setting for outdoor living.

Upstairs, the sumptuous bedroom exudes the feel of a boutique hotel, with a super-king size bed dressed in luxurious linens and perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of the Estate grounds. Adjacent to the bedroom, a thoughtfully designed dressing room offers ample space to unwind and prepare for the day. This leads seamlessly into the sleek and elegant bathroom featuring a generous walk-in shower, a striking free-standing black bath, and premium finishes throughout.

Every detail of your stay has been considered, from the curated welcome hamper with fresh ground coffee, tea and a few extra surprises, to the seamless blend of traditional charm and modern luxury. Whether you're soaking under the stars in the hot tub, strolling the Estate's quiet paths, or venturing out to explore the treasures of Cheshire and nearby North Wales, Liongate Lodge offers a truly special and romantic escape.
