Wonderful cottage with a lovely host

We were here for a short break. Beautiful location. Lots of space for our little one to run around. We loved the wood-burner hot-tub as well. And the host was so nice. Communication was excellent and all the instructions were very clear.

My wife and I wanted to get away for our wedding anniversary. We found this place and couldn’t be happier! The annex itself is very clean and comfortable with everything you need, the gardens are beautiful, the owner set up the hot tub for us when we wanted it, we had privacy in a beautiful setting, we absolutely loved our stay. Highly recommend this place

Our wonderful stay

This is an amazing property and location in the countryside. Sitting outside on the balcony at night with a glass of wine, you don’t hear a sound from anything. The house is so clean and comfortable and sits in a beautifully manicured garden. Paul, the owner, is charming, friendly and offers great advice on local pubs, supermarkets etc. We are definitely returning to this house 👍

Peaceful Setting

Very quite area, Paul was there to meet us and talk through everything we needed to know. He gave us some good recommendations for eating out. I had a bit of a nightmare after we had checked out when I’d realised I’d left some items behind but Paul got them together and put them where I could pick them up. Many thanks for all your help.

Relaxing and Peaceful

A great location to de-stress and unwind and although the weather was mix of sunshine and showers, the covered area overlooking the garden meant that we could still sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. We had planned on visiting both Manchester and Chester by train however with train times at just once per hour, we skipped Manchester this time and used the Park & Ride from Chester Zoo to Chester. We also visited Lady Lever art gallery at Port Sunlight and ended up spending several hours in the village once parked up (free parking) As with any holiday, there are always elements that aren't the same as 'home'... Such as the one bathroom which is off the upstairs bedroom meaning our 17 year old had to come into our room at night by phone torchlight... Not what we're used to but it was fine but be aware if you have a guest staying in the bed downstairs off the lounge that may need the bathroom a few times in the night... A lovely week away though and one tip I would share is to set your phone sat nav from inside the property and look there if you need to head out left or right from the drive. We got a bit lost looking for Tescos on the first evening and my sat nav lost it's signal completely so keeping a good old fashioned map in your car too would be a good idea - We used ours a few times :)

Paul is a really friendly and very helpful host. Our 2 night stay, was very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed. We had privacy and peace throughout. The Annex is clean, well maintained, practical and also spacious. Unwinding here was simple and if that is what you are looking for, you cannot go wrong by staying here. Me and my partner are already planning on returning.

A beautiful, quiet setting with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Paul did everything he could to make our stay relaxing. The only slight drawback which he wasn’t able to affect was intermittent Wi-Fi, but didn’t affect our stay too much as we were looking for a quiet retreat.
