“Lovely accommodating cottage, comfortable, decorated to a high quality and spotless!”

Very quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed the orchard in the evenings and watching the bird cams. The cottage was very well equipped with everything that we needed and we enjoyed the little extra touches e.g. bottle of Prosecco, tea and biscuits. The location was perfect for us for the week. Can’t fault this cottage, definitely recommend.

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely, quiet area of chester.”

Booked this last minute and we were so pleased we did! The cottage was clean and spacious and there was a lovely welcome basket with biscuits, jam etc. when we arrived. The cottage is very well presented and perfectly located for trips to the zoo, designer outlet and further afield. Great facilities for self catering and there are some lovely pubs and restaurants nearby. Would definitely return again in the future!

“I don't even know where to start with this beautiful place!”

As soon as we pulled up onto the drive, we both said 'wow' at the same time! 4 beautiful barn conversions, done to perfection. We stayed in the parlour, but each has its own cute name and 2 have hot tubs. The decor is stunning, I was a bit obsessed with the lighting! And now have to find the same lamps ha ha! The beds are so comfortable, it was a struggle to get out of them in the morning! My biggest worry when staying places is cleanliness. My goodness!!!! Clean clean clean!!!!! Not a spec of dust in sight! It's only a short drive to Cheshire oaks and Chester zoo, which is fab! We will be taking the whole family too :). I don't think I can recommend this property enough. And the couple that own them are lovely people. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will see you next year with the rest of the family :) X X X

Mrs Bottoms September 2020

“Superb renovation with consideration given to every detail.”

Spotlessly clean and well equipped with very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. The welcome addition of wine, milk and the basket of hot drinks and biscuits was unexpected and very appreciated. The cottages are situated in a quiet rural location but very close to a wide range of visitor attractions and areas to visit. Highly recommended. Thankyou Matt and Rachel.

Mrs Novak July 2020

“After all the scare mongering from your end we were pleasantly surprised to see how comfortable ie; cushions in place and well stocked it was (all crockery and cutlery included so we were able to put the dishwasher on once a day and not after every meal!”

) and how ameniable our hosts were. Frankly the emails I had recieved from Sykes prior to going made me feel I'd rather cancel but so pleased I didn't as it was so pleasant to get away. The cottage was lovely, extremely comfortable and well equipped, our hosts had thought of everything and the welcome pack was a lovely touch.

Dr Crocker July 2020

“We stayed only a week after the covid lockdown restrictions eased, but felt very relaxed and safe with the immaculate cleanliness of the cottage and the ease with which we could chat to fellow holidaymakers, while keeping the necessary distance.”

The cottage is very well situated for Chester and there is good walking, locally and further afield. It has easy access to major roads but is very quiet. The decor is very stylish and everything has been thoughtfully planned to be welcoming and comfortable.

Mrs Bates July 2020

“Felt like a home from home.”

Rapid response to a minor question. Could not have been a better first week away after lockdown.

Mr Exley July 2020

“Situated in a secluded spot only a short drive from Chester The Parlour was a great base for exploring the surrounding area (The Wirral peninsula, Liverpool and North Wales).”

The property itself was fantastic, so well thought out and really comfortable. You can really tell the place has been built and furnished with love. Wouldn't hesitate recommending it

- Mr Exley, July 2020

Mr Hoyle January 2020

“This is a lovely cosy cottage with very welcoming owners.”

Nothing is too much trouble. It's in a quiet area, but local attractions are easily accessible. The beds were very comfortable indeed. For those who really want to know, the wi-fi was excellent. We would return without doubt if visiting the area again!

- Mr Hoyle, January 2020

Miss Knowles January 2020

“We loved our stay at The Parlour - it literally had everything we needed.”

It was such a comfortable, clean cottage in a beautiful location and the little touches of toys/games for children plus welcome goodies on arrival were lovely. We took in local walks, ate at a local restaurant and used the park and ride to visit Chester. We highly recommend a stay here and hope to visit again!

- Miss Knowles, January 2020
Mr Southall-brown December 2019

“This cottage exceeded our expectations and then some.”

We have stayed in a number of properties at home and abroad and this ranks with the very best in terms of finish, facilities, furnishings (the beds are so comfy), peacefulness - well just about everything you could rank it on. We arrived in the dark but the instructions were spot on and we found the location no problem. Parking was nice and close to the front door to allow us to unload easily with no steps to climb. The cottage itself was lovely and warm - underfloor heating in all rooms - with a range of items left for us (milk, teabags, jams etc). The controls on all of the appliances are intuitive and easy to use. Towels, linen and toiletries were all laid out nicely and all very good quality. All in all, I would highly recommend this property and the location without reservation.

- Mr Southall-brown, December 2019
Mr Medlock December 2019

“Really nice cottage, clean and tidy.”

Everything we needed, even had toys for the kids to play with. Rachel and Matt couldn’t have been more accommodating. Really close to Chester and Ellesmere Port so didn’t have to travel to far.

Lower Farm Holiday Cottages

Resting in the peaceful hamlet of Picton are the four charming terraced dwellings of Lower Farm Holiday Cottages. Suitable to sleep up to twelve people, they provide captivating accommodation for a family gathering or getaway with friends, ideal for exploring both the countryside and the historic excitement of Cheshire. Each of the properties boasts an open-plan living space with high ceilings and traditional features, making great spots to gather in individual groups for some quiet family time or to come together to celebrate a wonderful holiday. Two of the properties also benefit from hot tubs, so you can soak in your scenery from the relaxing waters, or choose to spend some time on the lawned area with a picnic in the summer months when you're not exploring the local delicacies of the area. With exposed brick walls, beams and wooden furnishings, each of the properties holds its own rustic charm amongst contemporary fixtures and features to assist you in your self-catering requirements. Wander up the steps to the owner's Orchard where you can relax in the sun and when in season sample the fruit or take some back home with you. Later on do some star gazing at night, but make sure to keep an eye out for the Barn Owls, as there are several mating pairs in the area. Within close reach by car is the Roman city of Chester well known for being one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain; complete the circuit of the Walls, wander along the Rows with their black and white timbered galleries, visit the historic Amphitheatre, or have a classic day out at Chester Races. A wide range of attractions are ideally situated near these lovely dwellings including Chester Zoo, one of the top attractions and most visited zoo in the UK, Blue Planet Aquarium show-casing Europe’s largest collection of sharks through their 71 metre underwater tunnel, or indulge in some shopping at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet and Coliseum Leisure Park, where you can pick up some bargains and then catch a film at the cinema after or maybe a game of ten-pin bowling. Lower Farm Holiday Cottages provide the best of both the tranquil countryside and bustling city life, perfect for your retreat to this area of Cheshire.

About the location

CHESTER

Liverpool 17 miles; Manchester 36 miles.

Chester 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 townhouses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including excellent shopping in and around the famous Tudor 'Rows' and lovely walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee and through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. Explore Chester's beautiful medieval cathedral, visit Chester Racecourse or spend a day at the world renowned Chester Zoo. Further afield, the stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, the quaint market towns and villages of Cheshire and the Wirral Peninsula with its first class golf courses, are all within easy touring distance, whilst frequent rail services make Liverpool, Manchester and the North Wales coast readily accessible.
