Cathy
The location is unbeatable, right behind the lady lever gallery in the middle of Port Sunlight. There was no welcome pack as such although there was tea, coffee and sugar but thereâs plenty of shops, takeaways and pubs nearby for meals or food shopping. The station nearby provides great access to Liverpool or Chester and thereâs plenty of buses as well. Roadside parking was plentiful. Aside from the stairs which are a little steep as youâd expect in an old cottage and a bit hard on my knees, it was a perfect stay. Would have stayed a second week but it wasnât available. Highly recommended.

Finally found more in downstairs cupboard. Paper towel had 2 squares left on it. Coffee was a mix of instant and plunger coffee unable to drink.
