Some lovely dog walks from the doorstep and super friendly people all around. Beds are really comfy and overall excellent value. We will definitely consider returning.

Warm, welcoming and lots of character along with loads of kitchen equipment along with a lovely welcome pack that went down a treat. We were 6 adults and 1 dog and we all had a great stay with lots of space to sit and relax. Only one parking space to the rear of the property, but that was not an issue as lots of other parking nearby. We have an EV car, so not having a charger was a minor point, but we knew that when we booked the cottage, as there were very little options at the time - had there been an EV Charger or 3-pin outside plug near the car, we would have paid a premium to have the flexibility and have fed this back - with lots more cars being electric, having the facility will add value and widen the market. However, we were able to charge up easily enough as there were lots of chargers especially in Chester (less than five miles away) so we never got stuck. The owner was lovely with great communication prior and during our stay. Five star rating is well deserved and THANK YOU for a great stay.
