A relaxing rural location
The property is well placed in a rural setting but reasonably close to Chester and Liverpool. We found the property to be very comfortable and the owners, Janet and Robert to be excellent in providing local information and for being very friendly. We plan to stay there in future as there is so much to see in Liverpool and the nearby towns such as Nantwich and Whitchurch. It’s not too far to hop over the border into N. wales to see Conwy and other historic towns.

Everything was just right!
Lovely cottage in a quiet location with a rural feel, equipped with everything we needed and cosy in colder weather. Good road connections and perfect for exploring not just Cheshire but N Wales, Peak District and Liverpool. Delightful owners were unobtrusive but on hand if needed. They very obviously care about their guests and had helpful suggestions for enjoying our stay. Thank you. All in all, perfect.
