"The Parlour was excellent it was very nicely furnished and equipped."
It is on a very quiet lane with a really nice garden which young children will love as it tells a story with picture boards and animal carvings. We especially liked the live feed from the owl nesting box which had us enthralled for hours.
The location is really good as it is close to Chester, Chester Zoo and Cheshire Oakes for those that like to shop. Access to motorways is good and can get you anywhere fast. There are lots of good pubs within a couple of miles which serve really good pub food.
The Parlour is great of 2 couples or a small family I would highly recommended it and would definitely stay there again.

"We had a great stay at The Parlour, the cottage and location were even better than we were expecting."
Lots of extra little touches which really added to our stay. The Parlour was very clean, nicely decorated and everything had a feeling of quality about it.
Right from the point of booking the owners were very accommodating and helpful, providing a travel cot and high chair.
We hope to be back one day and would definitely recommend. Thank you.

"The cottage is in a perfect location, close enough to everything but also just out of the centre so it was quiet and peaceful."
The cottage and grounds were beautiful
and spotlessly clean and the furnishings and decor were expensive and looked really nice. Lots of space with two bathrooms and large comfortable beds. And we loved the finishing touches like the milk that was left for when we arrived and the basket of biscuits and tea and coffee etc. The cottage had everything we needed and more. We will recommend to friends and family and also return ourselves. Its our new favourite holiday location and it was a lovely break, thank you

"What a beautiful property!"
It is clear the owners have worked hard to ensure every comfort is accommodated - clean, tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and great facilities. Lovely personal touches too in the welcome pack, fresh towels and toys/games/DVDs left for our enjoyment. The location was perfect - away from the hustle and bustle but only a couple of miles away from everything that Chester has to offer. Would definitely recommend and hope to return next year :)

"Really enjoyed the the cottage, every thing you need for a self catering."
Only downside (minor) from my point of view is the heating rails in the bathroom are operated on a push button so save power (fab idea) but the light projected off the switch is very bright in a very dark room. I’m a little bit of a lighter sleeper and need darkness to sleep, I can’t say it kept me up but I was very aware of it when I went to sleep. The cottage itself is fab, positioned well to all the resorts we wanted to visit and area itself was fab.

"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

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.

"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.
