Reviewers consistently mention that the cottage is clean and immaculate, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is described as quiet and peaceful, suitable for relaxation and within an hour's travel to attractions. However, one review mentions it's a long walk to town, suggesting a reliance on driving.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and efficient underfloor heating, contributing to a cosy stay.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-fitted kitchen and superb shower. One review suggests the need for curtains or blinds to manage heat from the sun, indicating a minor issue with maintenance.

Sandbach is a large, historic market town near the M6 in Cheshire that dates back to Saxon times, as evidenced by the famous Saxon Crosses that still stand in the cobblestone square. Numerous pubs and restaurants can be found throughout the city, in addition to numerous shops. The market square in the heart of Sandbach hosts regular weekly markets, a monthly farmers' market, and a fantastic Christmas market that keeps everyone happy. Brereton Heath Nature Reserve is a place to visit with beautiful walking trails and interesting wood sculptures. Visit St. Mary's Church, a Grade II-listed structure with beautiful stained glass windows and a tranquil churchyard, for something a little different.

The host was very friendly and showed us around her extensive garden and also a guided tour of the art gallery, and gave us tips on the best places in the area to visit. We enjoyed our stay especially being able to sit in the enclosed courtyard by the patio doors.

When we arrived it was too hot I had to sit in the bedroom and read. Not good at all. It's a long way to walk to the town so driving mainly which I'd rather not do. We enjoyed our stay and the bed was so comfy and it had everything you need, just the window.
