Myself and others stay at this house for a hen do weekend, we had the most amazing time! Amazing views, brilliant host! The house is beautiful! Thank you again for having us!!
Amazing place, just all around very lovely, hot tub was great, only problem I found is it doesn't sleep 14, theres 3 double beds including a pull out couch and 2 singles, then 2 beds u can set up and then another couch which fits 1 person, in total thats 11 people, so unless the other 3 are staying on the floor, I don't know how it sleeps 14, unless it's set up differently when 14 people stay, I wouldn't know because I only took 10 people
A lovely, welcoming property, which was perfect for a catch up, with ample beds, towels and bedding, enough utensils for cooking a quick meal before relaxing with drinks on the patio, in the hot tub, in the airy living space or all of the above! Everything was well appointed and easy to find, loved the en suite wet room. The chickens provided unexpected entertainment and the neighbouring sheep and alpacas were very chill. Also jealous of the garden, so beautiful! Thanks so much for making us so welcome!
On arrival the property didnât live up to the pictures on the site. Dated & required a good lick of paint. The surface in places had sticky ring marks indicating it hadnât had a Covid clean as stated. The onsuite bathroom drain had a large amount of hairs so we declined to use the upstairs facilities & used the downstairs shower.
First of many away days with VRBO & unfortunately this property hasnât lived up to the previous ones.
The converted barn was spacious and seemingly has the potential to be a great property. However it lacked some of the items and basic features we have experienced staying in other places.
The following points highlight things that we found unsatisfactory;
- there was no washing machine or dryer in the rental property (had to be requested and accessed via the main house)
- dirty saucepans left in the cupboard
- broken glasses and cups were left on the shelves
- there were only 3 chairs for the dining table and one very high and inappropriote stool
-the kitchen lacked basic items or supplies such as paper towel, sugar, oil etc
- the towels were fine but should not be described as luxurious
- the host made no effort to follow up our concerns after we contacted him or to speak with/e-mail us prior to our departure
The local New Village Chinese restaurant was good value and the drive to Liverpool and Chester convenient outside of peak times.
Took an hour to find the property. Not even the next door neighbor had any idea where it was. Had no idea that the rental was behind another house, which is why it took us so long to find it. We were looking for the house in the VRBO listing, not the house it sits behind. House was stuffy and hot; no fans to move the air, especially at night when it rained. Did not care for the free range chickens pooping in and around the patio and front door. The listing advertised laundry. It did not. Looked everywhere, including the garage/barn and found nothing. Even if the laundry was in the garage, I would do my laundry there due to the condition of the garage. The shower on the second floor had a broken shower head, and the water would move from very hot to very cold constantly. No ability to control the temperature. And the water pressure was low.
The barn was clean, but there was a lot of flies, called to the local shop but they had no spray, Obviously not the owners fault but maybe something to be looked into for the next guests. We had a large party of adults and one baby, beds where all clean but Iâd say a little cramped for that many camp beds to be put out as we where blocking doorways and climbing over each other. Also the games pool table pocket was broken so couldnât be played with without balls flying everywhere, again something that can hopefully be fixed before the next guests. But all in all we had a good stay, we all managed to get our heads down and it did the job
Booking was very easy and the owner was very quick to reply. Getting to it via the postcode took us to a property down the road but we soon foumd where to go. On arrival the entire drive was a pure sheet of ice and a few if us nearly fell. The barn was extremely cold upon arrival but we soon got the wood burner up and running. Storage heaters don't give out much heat when working. The barn was comfortable and slept 12 people quite easily. I contacted the owner and was told there was more wood for the burner in the barn opposite and salt grit for the driveway. We were able to leave our bags in the car port which was covered and could return to collect for our later departure. Taxis are a nightmare to find in Tarvin but we did make use of the bus into Chester and back. Overall a lovely little place to stay!
Bit of a nightmare to find so a sign on the wall outside would definitely help in the future. I thought from the photos it would be bit bigger but it was fine for the 1 night. Really dark at night upstairs and down so that's a really good bonus. Great location to get into Chester. Shame the shower downstairs wasn't working but I got told the day before at least.
I'd stay again though. Very clean and comfy beds.
I stayed here last night, lovely views, polite owners, great with animals about just a lovely stay. The only thing is maybe have it cleaned properly and when asked about bedrooms etc suitable for wheelchair users maybe say no instead of yes as I couldn't fit in the door in my wheelchair to get into the bathroom, also I was told there's a bedroom downstairs.... there is not.
We recently stayed here for my sister in law to be's hen party weekend and we were not disappointed. The location is beautiful , it super close to Chester city centre, just a short 10 minute taxi drive. The check in process was super easy, and there is also a co-op just down the road for any last minute supplies that you may have forgotten. We loved having the farm animals in the field just next to the property too, I would 100% recommend this property especially as it is so reasonably priced too.
Absolutely stunning house - great location near to our wedding venue and they were super flexible with us having people coming to get us ready! Loved the animals and the facilities were just amazing :)
House is lovely- met all our needs as a group of 5. However- definitely not suitable for 8 people. The kitchen is relatively small and itâs basically has 2 double bedrooms with a couple of extra beds thrown in. The animals are lovely, nice to look out the window and see the chicken and her chicks roaming around. The grounds are well kept and set back from the main road, so quiet. A couple of games and essentials available upon arrival e.g shower gel, tea, coffee.
Great character property, and the owners left us alone and we felt comfortable staying.
All in all was a great stay, comfy beds, enough amenities. Only thing missing really was there was no logs as stated to burn, and I know I could have asked but I didnât want to seem rude. Also I could leave it as clean as I wished as there was no dishwasher tablets left in the box!
Lovely say, amazing views. Everything you need in the property.
My friends and I had a lovely stay at the property. The owner is very accommodating and answers queries very quickly.
The location is beautiful looking out on the countryside.
It was quite the farmhouse we were expecting, it was an annexe attached to the owners garage very much in their garden, and allow they had large grounds it wasnât very suitable for the dogs, with all flagstones and tarmac. The fields being taken up with sheep, larmas etc, although the outlook was lovely.
The downstairs space was one large barn type area very spacious and had everything we needed. Upstairs was much smaller, with low ceilings very much in the rafters, and in recent heat was ridiculously hot, would have been nice to have some fans and windows open for our arrival. It was also a bit rich charging for extra people when there are only 2 bedrooms so everyone had to share the same room.
Check in, check out was simple and straightforward. Given the number of beds it would be nice to be able to use both showers at the same time, but they both use the same supply so not possible.. also 4 towels for 4 people would have be niceâŠ..otherwise everything else was fine and as described.
1. Excellent location with distant views of Cheshire countryside. 2. Spacious lounge with extra large dining table(can seat 10) and a pool table. 3. Various domesticated animals(sheep, alpaca and chicken at your doorstep!) 4. Log fire to keep you warm and cosy 5. Hot tub to relax and enjoy 7. Well suited for inside out living.
