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.

Clean and totally private annexe which was very comfortable and had everything you could want from a mini break. Peaceful, beautiful views, but also not too far from amenities and a great base to explore Chester. Use of hot tub made it all the more special!

Wonderful Week

We had an amazing week the house is beautiful and set in a lovely location. Highlights are the deck in the tree canopy and the hot tub. Totally rural location but very close to so many fun things to do. Chester zoo, blue planet, Cheshire oaks, Chester to name a few. Paul was a great host very helpful when we needed help but left us to it the rest of the week. We will definitely return.

Brilliant short break

Lovely accommodation. Clean, tidy and in beautiful surroundings. Host Paul was welcoming and helpful but not overbearing and easy to contact. Upstairs room with balcony was extremely comfortable and a lovely sun trap. Little bedroom downstairs was a great bonus. Hot tub was clean,and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. Kitchen was well equipped and whole annex was modern and had everything you could need. Outside areas were well kept and lovely decking to eat on . Would love to return.

The host Paul was very helpful and made finding the place really easy. Having him close by and only a text away was so helpful. The place was so clean not even a spec of dust and the welcome cookies where a massive hit with the kids. Super comfy beds nice and clean Paul has thought of everything there was games and books and lots to do in the garden for the kids my daughter especially loved the archaey. Lots to do on the doorstep and really close to Chester zoo. Yet also very tranquil and peaceful area.paul was always on hand to help with lighting the hot tub and il definitely be back.
