"We have not long returned from an absolutely wonderful stay at The Shippon (Lower Farm Holiday Cottages)."
We have stayed in a number of holiday cottages around Chester over the years and this was certainly one of the best we have ever stayed at. The location is fantastic and very easy to get to all the main attractions around Chester, but still with the feeling that you are out in the countryside. The facilities at the Lower Farm Cottages are perfect and The Orchard area is wonderful. Our children spent many a happy hour playing over there. The family who own the cottages are lovely and couldn't be more accommodating towards us. We can't wait to return and would certainly recommend these cottages to anyone looking for a home away from home near Chester.

"Beautiful barn conversion."
Every attention to detail.
5 Star decor, cleanliness, interior design, and the imaginatively kept garden. The hot tub is very welcome after a day out.
And the nature cameras are lovely to watch.
A real credit to the owners.

"Excellent stay!"
The cottage had absolutely everything we could have wanted and more. Our two children loved the games, the orchard with toys, the hot tub and the novelty of a tv in their room. For us adults the location was perfect, the property exceedingly clean and everything so thought out. Thank you so much, we will be back.

"4 of us have just stayed here for 3 nights."
I have stayed here before which is why I booked again. It’s perfect!! Clean and tidy and the hot tub is amazing! We asked if the hot tub could be turned up slightly, it wasn’t cold at all but we just like it that little bit warmer. It was turned up no issues. Chester centre is only a 10 minutes drive away, as is Cheshire Oaks so it’s in the perfect location. As we was going away with another couple the two bathrooms are so handy! The kitchen is fully equipped for everything you need to make food! Thankyou so much again for a perfect stay!

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay."
Perfect location - great facilities inside - we brought things along with us such as kitchen utensils and extra toiler paper but none of this was needed.
Lovely deco
Close to the Centre - we used a taxi that was in an information book left by the owners - this was a cheap price
A lovely little welcome hamper filled with hot chocolate tea, coffee and biscuits - We thought this was a nice touch
We had a perfect stay.
Only point was one of the light bulbs in the large lights seemed to be out but as there was another large one, small one and spot lights it did not make a difference to our stay.
Wonderful place - Highly recommend and will be coming back!!

"The holiday cottage was really nice and accessible."
It was well equipped with kitchen utensils, and the bathrooms very well maintained. The grounds were nice to wander.
The owners were very helpful when we queried the wifi, which is very good when you get the signal.
Our only criticism is the lounge seating was not really adequate for 4 adults. The corner settee would not seat 4 people.

Only reason it’s a 4 star not 5 was the 10pm curfew for the hot tub was a bit early for us but we do understand why it’s in place and respected it.

"We stayed here for 4 nights and it was absolutely perfect!"
The location was brilliant, so close to the city centre, Cheshire Oaks, the zoo, etc, but also far enough away to feel like a little country retreat. The cottage itself was beautiful, bed extremely comfortable and the hot tub was lovely. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back ourselves. Thank you very much to the hosts for such a wonderful stay

"We had a most relaxing break."
The accommodation was FIRST CLASS ( 5 star standards). It was easy to find, close to everything, and far enough away not to impede on our experience. The amenities on site were brilliant. Easy safe parking.Gardens to relax in, decked area for shade.
Rachel and Matt were very welcoming, their welcome pack was very tasteful, along with their brief of the surrounding area and places to go/visit, it helped our overall experience.
Can't find any faults.

"The cottage was amazing and even better than we had hoped!"
The extras the owners had left on arrival were very much appreciated. The owners went out of their way to help us when we needed advice again really appreciated. The cottage was so central for everything but tucked away enough to feel like you were in the middle of the country. We enjoyed the Zoo which is literally on your doorstep. The Ice cream farm was a hit with not only my 2-year-old granddaughter but all of us! There are plenty of local pubs offering delicious food but if we wanted to cook for ourselves, the supermarkets were very close. We visited Cheshire Oaks a few times and got some great bargains. Finally, it was lovely to relax in the pristine hot tub after being out all day, then getting a good night sleep in the super comfy beds. I would highly recommend these cottages; I don't think anyone would be disappointed. Thank you so much, exceptional value for money.

"We recently visited this cottage and were very impressed."
The welcome supplies including cereal, milk and fizzy wine were really appreciated. The location of the cottage was excellent being around 2 miles from Cheshire Oaks and around 5 miles from Zoo and Chester. The cottage was well equipped with dishwasher and appropriate supplies. The Netflix was greatly appreciated by the kids and we loved being able to watch catch up TV via IPlayer and 4OD. WiFi speed was adequate for our needs. There was a selection of things to entertain our boys too. Nice orchard with fruit trees to play in.
Only suggestions were that under sofa and beds needed vacuumed otherwise cleaning was spot on. Would also suggest as no laundry that might be benefit in providing different towels for use with hot tub so that could segregate and keep bathroom ones dry for only showering.

"The cottage was excellent in every way,we had everything that was essential to our daily needs."
The welcome pack full of goodies for all the family to enjoy was really appreciated but didn't expect it so lovely surprise, The family were lovely, very welcoming and they also let us use apples from their trees too which were nice of them. The hot tub was fantastic,there were even your own slippers n robes for each family member to use going to and from the hot tub area which was a great idea. We will be certainly making this one of our favourite cottages and recommending these cottages to friends n family, can't wait for our next visit to the Shippon. Thank you Matt, Rachel n Olivia it was lovely meeting you all.
