An amazing place to stay for a quiet weekend. The cottage is so much bigger than you expect and has its own private balcony. Yes we went in winter so gardens not at their best but you can see its potential. The host was lovely, having only acquired the property a week and half ago, and happily arranged for s bottle opener when we didn't have one. Thd location is very peaceful and you can walk to a local pub in 5mins along a river Bank. we walked all the way to Nentshead on the Issac Teacup trail which goes right pass the property. Its was s wonderfully warm property and the addition on the games room and smart TV with Netflix (you need your own account) made tge stay even more enjoyable for my 9 year old daughter. highly recommend.
