Cherry Cottage
Cosy cottage located in the hosts beautiful garden. Felt very secluded despite being close to the main Chester Road. Easy access to Delamere and the Sandstone Trail as well as lots of pretty Cheshire villages. Hosts were very helpful.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE
My son, daughter-in-law, and I stayed for 2 weeks and the cottage was all that we could have hoped for and more. Rob and Janet were the perfect hosts and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. If we ever go back to the UK, This is where we want to stay. So quiet and relaxing. Thank you so much Rob and Janet!

A relaxing rural location
The property is well placed in a rural setting but reasonably close to Chester and Liverpool. We found the property to be very comfortable and the owners, Janet and Robert to be excellent in providing local information and for being very friendly. We plan to stay there in future as there is so much to see in Liverpool and the nearby towns such as Nantwich and Whitchurch. It’s not too far to hop over the border into N. wales to see Conwy and other historic towns.
