High Bank cottage is a wonderfully spacious property which can be found in the delightful village of Bunbury, on the western edge of the Cheshire Plain. Most famous as the backdrop to the ITV series ‘Home Fires’, the pretty village is deemed ‘Quintessentially British’, and landmarks such as St Boniface’s Church and the local pub which stood in for the Doctors surgery, are easily recognisable. The butcher’s shop used has unfortunately closed but is now a coffee and tea shop next to the well-stocked general store opposite, we are very lucky to have three very good welcoming pubs all serving good food, another café and a fish and chip shop, all in in walking distance.
For those wanting to explore the great outdoors, you can walk around the village and onto Sadlers Wells Wood, Bunbury Watermill or take a stroll down to Bunbury Staircase Locks on the Shropshire Union Canal. The nearby larger village of Tarporley is just a 10-minute drive and is home to a number of pubs and eateries together with a good variety of shops. The popular market town of Nantwich is around 15 minutes and the wonderful historic city of Chester around half an hour.
There is a whole host of superb local attractions such as the Sandstone Trail which you can pick up in Tarporley and was voted one of Julia Bradbury’s and Ore Oduba’s ‘Top 100 Walks’. The castles of Beeston (English Heritage) and Cholmondeley are both within a 10-minute drive, and Delamere Forest can be reached in around 20 minutes, offering outdoor concerts and more great walking and cycle trails.
Chester Zoo, the Blue Planet Aquarium and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet can all be reached in 40 minutes or so and the cities of Liverpool and Manchester area both accessible within an hour or so. The North Wales coastline is about an hour away, making this a superb base to either simply relax and unwind or explore the many wonders of the surrounding area. Shop 20 yards, three pubs 100/200 yards, two tea/coffee cafes a restaurant 1 mile and chippy what more could you want!

A very nice spacious cottage. Bunbury is a nice village. Good local pubs, a lovely good value chippy. A good Coop opposite the cottage. Good location for walking. Not far from the lovely city of Chester. Very helpful owners of the cottage.

We had a wonderfully relaxing time in Bunbury. High Bank is in the heart of the village right next to the shop, cafe, pub and playing field. The property was comfortable, warm and clean. We were visiting family and would definitely stay at High Bank again, very much recommended. Thank you for your hospitality!

Comfortable, clean well equipped cottage with parking space and secure small garden. Perfect location to explore the area. Owners next door should there be any issues (which there weren't!). Would recommend.
