About this property

Historic building offers an inviting retreat with its charming blend of comfort and elegance, sleeping 10 guests

The Carriage House, built in 1840, is a beautifully restored estate situated in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, on the edge of the picturesque village of Bunbury. This historic property offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, making it an ideal retreat for families, couples, or groups seeking relaxation and comfort.

The surrounding area of Bunbury offers a lot of natural beauty, history, and opportunities for outdoor activities. Being set in the rural heart of Cheshire, the village is close to several attractions that highlight the region's landscape and heritage.

Just to the south of Bunbury, you’ll find the Shropshire Union Canal, which runs through some beautiful countryside and offers scenic walks along the water. It’s a peaceful spot, and the canal itself is rich in history, having been a major transportation route during the industrial era. People often enjoy canal-side walks, boating, and spotting local wildlife, making it a great place to relax or spend a day outdoors.

A short distance from Bunbury is the Sandstone Trail, a well-known long-distance path that stretches for over 30 miles through Cheshire. This trail is perfect for hikers, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including forests, hills, and valleys. It’s especially popular for walking, running, and even cycling, providing access to some of the best natural sights in the region.

If you're a fan of historical landmarks, nearby Beeston Castle is a must-visit. Perched on a hill, this 13th-century castle offers spectacular views of the Cheshire Plain and surrounding areas. The ruins are fascinating to explore, and the site itself has a rich history dating back to the medieval period.

For more natural beauty, you can visit Delamere Forest, a large forested area just north of Bunbury. It’s one of the largest public forests in Cheshire, with vast woodlands and a variety of walking and cycling trails. It’s a great place to immerse yourself in nature, whether you’re going for a leisurely walk or an adventure-filled day of outdoor activities.

Chester itself, located not far from Bunbury, offers more urban attractions, such as the famous Chester Zoo, Chester Cathedral, and the Roman Walls, which date back to the Roman occupation of Britain. Chester is also well-known for its medieval architecture and vibrant cultural scene, offering plenty of shops, restaurants, and historical sites to explore.

The surrounding countryside of Bunbury is also dotted with charming villages, historic estates, and peaceful gardens, which makes it a wonderful place for those who enjoy both quiet rural living and easy access to more bustling towns.
