We've had a fantastic time staying at poplar farm studio.

We stayed for 11 nights and wished it had been longer. It was peaceful, comfortable and had everything you would need to feel at home. The only thing to make it better would be for safety, another handrail is definitely needed coming down the stairs and anti slip mats for shower bases. We would return for sure, beautiful place.

The accommodation itself was very nice; clean and modern, and in a peaceful picturesque location.

It was close enough to Chester and the surrounding attractions we wanted to visit. The hot tub was also fabulous. However, we found there were a few reasons it wasn't quite perfect for us. A major appeal leading to us booking was the mention of two separate living areas. This sounded great so my elderly mother could have her own facilities if needed a break from us and the kids. The issue we found is that the only way to access the downstairs lounge and kitchen was through the downstairs bedroom. When we did want to be together, this needed to be in the downstairs living areas as my mother struggled with the stairs. Also, the downstairs kitchen was the one with the most amenities. However, it felt a bit intrusive to have to walk through her bedroom constantly. Another appeal was what we thought was a small enclosed garden, as my mother and ourselves have a small dog each. However, when we arrived, we found this area is shared with the business next door, and there are only freestanding trellises separating the two, which had gaps between (looking back at the photos on the listing, there is one showing this). There was also a big gap through behind the undercover seating area. Therefore, we felt it would have been difficult to keep the dogs within the studio boundary, as they would be able to get through the numerous gaps and into the businesses area, meaning they could not be let off lead outside. As another review mentioned; inside, the business is only separated by an internal door with a frosted glass panel at the side. While not an problem most days as we were out while this was occupied, this did cause an issue on the one day my mother stayed at the studio all day with the dogs; she advised there was constant noise next door which upset the dogs, making them bark. Upstairs, the bedroom with two singles was very large and great for the kids. We did not realise that the other double bed was not actually in a separate room, as was just separated from the living area by wardrobes and curtains (again, looking back at the photos afterwards, this is shown, so we just missed this) but this didn't cause an issue for us. Overall, the accommodation was lovely and we had a great stay, but as said before, there were just a couple of small things which made it not quite 100% for us personally. Just a small suggestion for the owner; the information folder was limited; for example there was no info on where to put rubbish or how to leave the accommodation on departure (e.g. if we were required to strip the beds or not). We used the large bin under the balcony, but were not sure if this was correct as this had other waste in, so we assumed this belongs to the business.
