"The property was excellent, very comfortable and a great base for exploring the surrounding area."
Dog friendly, secure garden was great. The team at the canal basin were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Would highly recommend hiring a canal boat for the day, again staff (David and Owen) made the process easy and simple. A couple of points that would help, but in no way detracted from the experience in the cottage, would be some coat hooks in the hall, especially for autumn/winter lets and a bit more cutlery to match the amount of flatware from a dishwasher point of view. In general an absolute jewel of a place and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break in the country but still near to the town of Nantwich for all the fantastic facilities it offers.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted that you found the property comfortable and enjoyed the secure garden, dog-friendly facilities, and the canal boat experience. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to David and Owen. We also really appreciate your helpful suggestions regarding coat hooks and additional cutlery — these are great ideas that we’ll look to implement to make future stays even more convenient for our guests. It’s fantastic to hear that you would recommend the property, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing break in the future. ABC Holiday Cottages Property Owner

"Nice enclosed garden."
Apple tree , apples great for apple pie or crumble. Nice kitchen, dining room and lounge. Two beds and great bathroom and shower. By the side of the basin, narrow boats wild life just an idilic rest by the canal.

"A peaceful location just a 15 minute walk from Nantwich."
The cottage is spacious and has a large garden which was totally secure for our Jack Russell Terrier. Boatyard staff were very friendly. The property was exceptionally clean and fairly well equipped. It could do with coat pegs or a coat stand and an ironing board and iron.

"Beautiful position next to canal basin, ideal base for gongoozeling or visiting the various Cheshire towns and cities."
Only thing missing was an iron and ironing board.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are thrilled you enjoyed the towns and cities for Cheshire. We will inform the Marina about the ironing board and iron to make sure this is added to our inventory. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. ABC Holiday Cottages Property Owner

"What a lovely cottage, enclosed garden a real bonus for the dogs."
Beautifully clean with everything we needed for our stay away. A quirky place with views of canal barges in the marina. Nantwich town centre walkable or a short drive. Loads of interesting listed buildings. We even took advantage of the 25% of boat hire and rented a barge for the day, great fun.

"A really lovely cottage in a wonderful location."
Very quiet area, friendly staff at canal basin office and a great cafe. Beds were very comfortable and the dog loved the back garden. Could have done with somewhere to hang outdoor coats should weather be inclement. We had a great stay and would highly recommend.

Where you’ll be staying
NANTWICH
Crewe 5 miles; Wrenbury 5.5 miles; Sandbach 10 miles; Whitchurch 11.1 miles
The delightful market town of Nantwich is located 5 miles to the south east of Crewe and stands on the banks of the River Weaver and the Shropshire Union Canal. It is famous for its outdoor Brine Pool which is one of the few remaining in the UK and heated throughout the summer. There are regular market days throughout the week and a monthly farmers' market showcasing the best of produce from the local area. Nantwich town centre is pedestrianised and benefits from some superb examples of historic buildings, and is well worth visiting in spring and summer when it comes alive with floral displays throughout the streets. Nantwich plays host to many events throughout the year, including The Battle of Nantwich in January, the Jazz, Blues and Music Festival at Easter and the world-famous International Cheese Awards in July. Both Market Drayton and Whitchurch are within 12 miles and well worth a day trip to enjoy their history and architecture.
Note: Care to be taken on the semi-spiral staircase and please take care with the low ceilings on the staircase.
Note: Please take care with young children as this property is on the side of a canal.
