  • "I would add 3 things to the property - a coffee machine and some small electric heater to compensate for the heating system taking so long to initiate."

    I would also provide more cleaning materials / cloths - would have helped particularly in the kitchen. Otherwise a lovely place!

    I am pleased that you thought Kestrel to be a lovely place. Thank you for your suggestions, which we have taken on board. As mentioned in the description of the property the heating is provided by an air source heat pump which, whilst very efficient, does not provide instantaneous heat. In August, for the comfort of our guests, we do not put the heating on and had thought the well insulated building to be warm. I am sorry that you found that it was not. We did put the heating on as soon as you requested it and asked you to let us know if it was sufficiently high, or whether you had changed your minds about wanting it on in the bedrooms. We will look into getting an electric heater for those who wish for additional heat in the summer months. The property does have a cafetiere, but at your suggestion we will also look into getting a non pod coffee machine. I will ensure that there are more cleaning materials available. Your feedback was helpful. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "We feel privileged to have been the first occupants of this new cottage."

    Having booked for 4 nights we decided to stay the following week. Hugh and Claire were very welcoming and we were pleased to be accepted by their two very friendly dogs, Purdey and Flo. The cottage was very comfortable and eco friendly and we look forward to staying there again sometime soon.

    Thank you for your kind words - we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in Kestrel. It was a pleasure to meet you and Barbara - and we very much hope to be able to welcome you back soon. Purdey agrees! Property Owner

Tilston 2.6 miles.

Kestrel is a lovingly restored barn conversion resting in the rural village of Shocklach, Cheshire.

Perfect for two couples or friends, this holiday home provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, with handy off-road parking, plenty of home comforts, and a pub within walking distance.

Upon entering the home, you will find an open-plan living space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining space for four guests, and a sitting area.

After cooking up a delicious dinner, dine at the table, load your dishes into the dishwasher, and settle down to watch a film on the TV in the sitting area.

When sleep calls, two double bedrooms rest upstairs, one of which with a Velux window allowing in plenty of light, and each light and airy and perfect for catching some shut-eye.

Back on the ground floor, you can soak away a day of walking in the bathroom, or if you prefer, freshen up in the walk-in shower before heading back out for an evening meal.

You will also have access to the owner's grounds, where you can spend some time in the fresh air and admire the local wildlife in the tranquillity.

Enjoy a peaceful pocket of Cheshire with a stay at Kestrel.

New House Farm Barns

New House Farm Barns are a duo of two lovingly restored barns in the charming village of Shocklach, Cheshire. Rural and surrounded by a wealth of local wildlife, yet with the added convenience of off-road parking and access to the owner's open field. Curlew, kestrels, and goldfinches are just some of the birds to be seen from the property. In the evenings hedgehogs come out and the barn owl is usually hunting for voles in the field. Evenings can be savoured outside or inside, or guests can travel a little further to the nearest pub, the Carden Arms, for dinner and a couple of drinks. With plenty of walking trails to explore, including the Bickerton Hills with views over to Liverpool and the Bishop Benet Way, a 35-mile walk which runs right through Shocklach, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The Clwydian Mountains, and the Berwyn Mountains are all within an easy drive – and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia) can be reached and walked in on a day trip; National Trust sites are also within reach, including the 18th century manor of Erddig, Chirk Castle, and Cholmonderley Gardens. Venture a little further to Chester, where you'll be spoilt for choice with its vibrant nightlife, shops, and historical attractions. Step back in time and visit the Roman walls and amphitheatre, stroll around the historic Chester Rows, or check out the Chester Zoo to meet some of the world's rarest animals. However you choose to spend your time, the New House Farm Barns promise a truly unforgettable getaway in Cheshire.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

TILSTON

Malpas 4.5 miles; Whitchurch 10 miles; Chester 14 miles.

The village of Tilston is situated on the upper reaches of the River Dee, located between the medieval city of Chester and the market town of Whitchurch. Close by is the Carden Park Hotel with a superb 5 star leisure spa and golf course. Chester is just 14 miles away, and this Roman city has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed town houses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The City has much to offer the tourist, including excellent shopping in the famous 'Rows', and lovely walks around the old Roman Walls, along The Groves beside the River Dee or through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. Further afield, the stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, and the market towns and villages of Cheshire, Shropshire and Wrexham are all within easy touring distance, whilst the nearby Wirral Peninsula has many splendid courses to tempt the golfing enthusiast.

Note : Adults only.
