Like a secret oasis where we lived like Kings and Queens!
I cannot recommend this property enough! I wanted to treat my American Aunt to an elegant cottage in Cheshire and this place surpassed our expectations! The guest properties have been newly designed and kitted out with a fabulous kitchen, travertine tiled bathrooms (practically 2 ensuites!), rain showers with good water pressure, and the bedrooms had ample wardrobe and even closet space! It's clear they put much love into creating a very elegant and homely enenvironment for their guests to feel like royalty! Henri and his family were so welcoming and charming. After a two-week whistle-stop tour around Northern England and Ireland, this is the place my Aunt wants to come back to and 'stay a week with my girlfriends!' ...and who knows? I might just head back with my watercolours to have a peaceful week painting the landscape and listening to the swifts tittering in the trees! Thanks again for a special Coronation weekend. It could not have been lovlier!
The cottage was beautiful and spotless. Has everything we needed for a relaxing , but busy break. Central for all our travel needs. Would highly recommend this cottage in it beautiful picturesque setting. Owners are very friendly and approachable. Thank you for having us.
