"I had a lovely time at Wattle Cottage."
Everything there for a comfortable stay. May I suggest putting a couple of coat hangers on the bottom of the kitchen cupboard to the right of the back door, or on the back door, somewhere to put coats, especially if they are wet as stone floor there. The owners were friendly and helpful. Super walks easily accessible on the doorstep.

"I had a lovely stay."
Cottage had everything needed, although a washing machine would have been helpful, although there was a launderette in the village. Owners were friendly and helpful. Cottage was a delight. Lovely walks on the doorstep. somewhere to hang coat(s). May I suggest put some hooks on bottom of cutlery cupboard and could hang a coat or two there, out the way and also of coat wet drips into stone floor. I had put my coat on hook by the stair but a bit in the way there.

"We had a lovely 5 weeks at Wattle Cottage and found it to be the perfect location for us to explore from."
Malpas itself has everything you need, pubs, restaurants, fish and chip shop, local food stores, bakery all within a short walk.
The cottage is very cosy, clean, and well equipped, perfect for 2 travellers. The location is peaceful and private due to its slightly elevated position. Our very, very small dogs enjoyed the front garden and the treats left by the owner who also made sure we weren't left out with a welcome gift of biscuits, coffee and wine. Thank you, we did enjoy them

"Wattle Cottage was truly excellent in every respect."
It is compact and bijou but had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The owners provided a welcome pack on arrival which included a little treat for our furry friend who came with us, which was really thoughtful. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and tidy and was within a five minute walk to Malpas Village which had two little grocery stores, a delicatessen, bakery, chip shop, a wine bar and two pubs. We only went into the The Fire Station Wine Bar and The Lion but they were both very welcoming and homely. It was also centrally located for our trip to Chester, Cheshire Oaks and a little ride out longer to Liverpool. We will definitely be returning for another stay in the near future. Well done to the Owners for all the lovely touches!

"Had a great break in this quirky cottage."
Lovely place, well equipped, the bed was so comfortable. Although located on a main road, didn't really notice the traffic noise. I forgot my hair dryer so contacted Jonathan who happily provided me one. My four legged friend enjoyed his little holiday with lots of dog friendly place near by

"A beautiful and cosy cottage."
The facilities all felt like we were the first to use them and everywhere was spotless.
The owner even called to check everything was ok.
Malpas was a surprisingly wonderful base for exploring the stunning and undiscovered Cheshire - the best of Britain everywhere.
Lovely walks, countryside, canals and exceptional views. Every pub we visited was top notch for food and service (Bear - Whitchurch, Swan - Marbury, Ship - Chester, Pheasant - Burwardsley)
Everywhere was dog friendly (inside too) and all were extremely friendly.
Cheshire is a jewel that most people miss who head for the coast or Wales.

"Just returned from a fabulous 5 night stay at Wattle Cottage, the cottage itself was full of character and extremely comfortable, a lovely comfortable bed and an amazing welcome pack of goodies which was greatly appreciated by us and our 4 legged friends."
A certain amount of contortionism was required to manoeuvre the stairs but only added to the charm of the property.
Parking was never an issue for us - yes there is no parking directly outside the cottage but just a little way down the road was where we parked and we could see our car from the bedroom window it was never a worry at any point.
The cottage is really well situated as a base for exploring Cheshire and North Wales we did many day trips including Cheshire Oaks, Delamere Forest and West Kirby Beach
The Village itself is charming, quiet and peaceful but has everything you need within a couple minutes walking, we very much enjoyed the Malpas Chippy after a day at the beach and Forts of India was also fabulous.
Overall a fantastic stay and we'd love to return, thanks Again

"Malpas cottage is a very quaint, cosy cottage."
The surrounding village is lovely, with a great pub too. The parking isn’t a bother, although it is worth noting your car won’t be outside the property and needs to be parked a little up the road. Amenities in the cottage were as expected, the only small thing was there wasn’t any washing up liquid nor a sponge/cloth to wash up with. In addition, there were quite a few cobwebs around. Otherwise, lovely stay and I would recommend.

"The cottage is fantastic, very well furnished and comfortable."
Just a couple of points, not criticisms, i think it should be made more clear that the kerbside parking is a little walk away. You cannot see your car from the cottage and the roads are very narrow. Also don't expect everyone to use the dishwasher, it would be a bonus if washing up liquid and a drainer were supplied.

"Lovely small but well equipped cottage."
We had a wonderful time exploring the local area and visited Chester and managed to fit in shopping at Cheshire Oaks.
Lovely village with most amenities unfortunately due to COVID-19 we didn’t get chance to try the local pub or restaurants.
As noted in other reviews the stairs from the roadside to the cottage are steep and there is very little headroom for the stairs in the cottage. Less abled may have problems.
Would happily recommend this cottage and we would stay again.

"Wattle Cottage is beautifully restored and furnished with good taste and first class fittings throughout."
It is small but perfectly formed and located in the wonderful village of Malpas with great architecture, plentiful amenties and country walks on the doorstep. Going down the stairs required a little body origami for this taller visitor, but we like quirky places and this ticked all of our boxes and gave us a few new boxes besides. Would definitely stay again!

""Practically perfect in every way"."
Petite but perfectly proportioned, Wattle Cottage has absolutely everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The owners have furnished it beautifully and left lots of small, thoughtful touches which, after seven months lockdowned in London made my stay feel extra special. My 5-year-old nephew who lives in the village came for a visit and described it as 'The best holiday cottage in the whole world'. I would very much like to stay again. Thank you!

"Excellent location and very comfortable cottage."
.just a few suggestions..instead of a bar of soap to use in the kitchen a pump soap dispenser would be better..with bar soap you should throw outwhich is wasteful..a pump you can easily disinfect the outside of the pump which can be used over and over...also...I was one person..I did not need the dishwasher, by hand was easier plus it is suggested to wash the frying pan by hand but there was no dish soap to do this so I bought some and left it for the next guest...also..if you offer the use of outdoor table and chairs, they should be cleaned off just like indoor furniture before guests arrive then perhaps I might have used them....luckily I brought my own outdoor chair....these are just points to ponder..I was very satisfied with what I had and what I was able to use...I would definitely book again if I want to treat myself to a quiet getaway and Wattle Cottage was perfect for that...I did speak with the owners for parking clarification and they were wonderful and accommodating...thanks again
