We had the loveliest weekend at The Foundry and truly cannot fault a thing. Our stay exceeded all expectations. The location is perfect. Peaceful enough to feel like a proper escape from the city, yet with good transport links and shops nearby. There are beautiful walks in every direction and plenty of charming pubs to explore.The property itself had everything we needed. It felt so welcoming and cosy, yet also spacious and impeccably clean. Every detail had clearly been thought of.We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already talking about when we can return. Highly recommended!

We have just returned home from a week stay at the Foundary, we had a lovely relaxing time.The cottage itself was immaculate when we arrived and there was a nice welcome pack waiting for us in the fridge (thank you). Everything had been thought of and there was nothing that we thought it would be good if they had that. It is also very spacious for a family of four which was nice.The location is great for exploring, we visited Hawkstone Follies, Crocky Trail (great if you have children), Cheshire Oaks and went on a few local walks down the canal and over the fields. We visited a few of the local pubs and all were welcoming and food was great.Would definitely visit again and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing break.
