“Perfect hidden gem”

There are plenty of places to eat in the area. In general, just a perfect holiday location

Thank you so much, Val and Tony, the owners.

“Very clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage, right next to a walking and cycle path.”

Bonus of newly born lambs arriving daily in the surrounding fields, as this cottage is on a sheep farm.

“Lovely cottage.”

Beautiful views. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. Everything we needed and more. Warm and cosy. Lots of information and literature about places to visit. Nice location by the sheep farm. Enjoyed watching the farmer working with the sheepdog. Would recommend to anyone who needs time away from it all. We had a lovely week.

Unfortunately and unusually it was very hot for some of holiday and because of flies and restrictions with bedroom window being left open when wind was blowing, made sleeping uncomfortable some nights

“Lovely views over north Wales.”

Great location for exploring the Wirral and surrounding area. Lovely walks. A car is needed though as no nearby amenities but the house is lovely and welcoming.

“Wonderfull”

We have just returned from a weeks stay at this charming cottage. Sited at the edge of a working sheep farm it has marvellous view over the Dee estuary looking over to we spent evenings sat either outside in the garden or in the lovely conservatory at night to either watch the sun setting or observe the sheep dogs rounding up the flocks. about a 15 Minuit drive to the Chester Park and ride (Upton) and zoo its in itself in a good location. We found a charming place called Parkgate which is only a few miles away and has Pubs restaurants cafes and Ice cream parlours along with a traditional fish and chip shop all on the Main Street through it. If you don't want to take the car out you can find a pub called the Harp a good mile from the Cottage which does basic food and sandwiches but has a nice seated area outside again looking over the estury. The unlimited broadband in the cottage is a real bonus and we managed to work 3 devises from it with unbroken service. We have already booked again for next year as soon as we got home so can't wait.

“A cosy cottage for the winter months”

The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable, and we enjoyed coming back in the evenings after a hard day's sightseeing. There's so much to see in the area; we went to Chester for the day, visited Port Sunlight (which has my favourite gallery of all, the Lady Lever gallery with lots of 19th and 20th century art) and drove up the Wirral coast. A highlight was the RSPB's Visitors centre, just round the corner: great walks, even if you're not especially keen bird watchers! The cottage has everything you could need, with DVDs, books and binoculars. So even if it's too wet to go out, you'll still be happy.

“Super Self-catering cottage”

Spent a good week on this cottage in June enjoying the welsh and Cheshire countryside this farm sit in beautiful landscape on a working farm with working paths near the propery and RSPB Burton mere 5 minute drive away. The way its been set you feel that owners have supplied all that there would want for a hoilday cottage as its really well stocked up with all you could need and with the added bonus of been welcomed with a fresh loaf on bread and a bottle of wine

“Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location”

I grew up on the Wirral and we wanted somewhere to use as a base whilst visiting family. We chose Lavender Cottage for convenience and were delighted when it turned out to be such a lovely place to stay. It is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. We had wondered whether its being on a working farm would mean it was noisy, but it was peaceful at all times of day. Being able to watch the lambs and the sheep dogs was an unexpected bonus. We used the bikes to cycle on the Wirral Way and over towards Connah's Quay. We enjoyed The Harp Inn (short walk away) and Burton Manor (a hidden gem). Further afield, we visited Liverpool and the Antony Gormley statues at Crosby. Travelling anywhere in Merseyside by train from Hooton Station is cheap and convenient. I revisited old favourites: Parkgate, Hilbre, Thurstaston Common and Ness Gardens. All are well worth a trip and very nearby. And, finally, Kri Kri Greek restaurant in Neston was fabulous. We would love to return to Lavender Cottage in the the future.

“A wonderful coastal retreat, can't wait to return!”

From the minute we walked through the front door of the cottage, we knew this was going to be a really good holiday. The decor, furniture and fittings are well chosen, you can tell a lot of planning and expense has gone into the final result. There was a lovely 'Welcome Box' waiting for us on arrival. The service from Sykes and the owners was first class. My best surprise was the abundance of kitchen utensils, pots and pans...everything you could ever need...and more! We loved the views from the conservatory, even on a rainy day! The location is good as there are lots of coastal walks, nearby and the cottage is handy to explore the Wirral resorts, Chester and Liverpool. Thankyou for a great stay.

“Fantastic place”

From the amazing view to the excellent standard of the accommodation Lavender Cottage was faultless. Every little thing which could make our stay more comfortable had been thought of plus a very generous welcome pack was provided to add to the wow factor. Ideally situated for Chester, Liverpool and North Wales I will definitely be back again in 2014.

“Home from gome”

Lovely cottage in great location. Fantastic views. Everything you need is there - all the little things that are a pain to pack - salt /pepper/oil & washing up etc plus we arrived to find eggs, milk and freshly baked bread. What a great welcome after a long drive.

“Relaxing little hideaway!”

I recently stayed a week at this gorgeous cottage with my husband and daughter. I was having some treatment at Clatterbridge hospital so wanted somewhere convenient but away from the hustle and bustle. This cottage did not disappoint! It was very clean and well equipped with amazing views and a very chilled out feel.

“Beautiful, comfortable cottage, with spectacular views over Dee”

This is one of the nicest cottages we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in lots. It's beautifully presented, with comfortable and attractive furniture and fittings, and every little detail has been thought of. The welcome pack is the best we've ever had, and included a bottle of wine, eggs and bread, as well as many other things - everything you need for a relaxing drink when you arrive and breakfast in the morning. It was so nice not to have to rush off to try and buy milk and bread immediately we got there. There was also an amazingly well organised information pack, with details of things to do in the Wirral, Chester, Liverpool and North Wales, all organised into sections in a folder. Binoculars were provided for bird-watching, and there was even a sewing kit in one of the bedroom drawers. The owners have put so much thought into everything. The location is lovely, with stunning views over the Dee Estuary. There's an all-glass conservatory at the back and we spent a lot of time sitting in there and gazing out towards the Welsh hills and the ever-changing sky. It was really peaceful and relaxing, and there's an Rspb nature reserve almost on the doorstep. The cottage is within easy reach of all the attractions in the area, although we were actually house-hunting at the time and not on holiday, so this wasn't very relevant to us. Because we were trying to find somewhere to rent due to a job relocation, it was very important to us that we had internet access. When we first read the cottage details and it said the internet connection was via a dongle, we were a little worried that it wouldn't work very well. In the event it worked perfectly, and we also found we could 'piggyback' on another local connection at times. If being able to get online is important to you, you'll be fine here. We really can't fault the cottage at all; it suited us perfectly and Val and Tony, the owners, were so helpful and friendly. We'd have no hesitation in recommending it to others and the only reason we won't be coming back ourselves is because we're now living in the area!

The property

Neston 3 miles.

A Grade II listed, mid-18th century end-terrace, sandstone Cheshire cottage, situated on a working livestock farm, in the very quiet and pretty hamlet of Burton, three miles from Neston on the Wirral Peninsula.

This cottage has been tastefully converted yet retains a cosy character feel, with the luxury of modern facilities, plus oak beams and skylights offering a stylish mix of old and new.

A conservatory off from the open plan living area gives stunning views and spectacular sunsets over the RSPB reserve on the marshland, and the Welsh hills beyond.

A quality cottage, well-equipped and decorated with charm and style, the property offers an abundance of walking and cycling from the doorstep along the Wirral Way.

With easy access to the historic market town of Neston nearby, there is plenty to do in the locality.

For a day out, the Ness Botanic Gardens are a real must, as is the zoo, Roman walls and great shopping at Chester, or for something a little further afield, the Welsh coast and Snowdonia National Park are ready to be explored.
