The Dairy

Attached to another rental apartment.

Top notch fittings. A little stark and would be cool in the depths of winter. Ample parking and many footpaths from location. Coffee shop next door open during the peak season.

Brilliant cottage lovely views and perfect size for a couple

This property is clean and has all the facilities that you need for a comfortable stay.

I read other reviews before booking and some say there is no opening windows and they are also fitted with frosted glass, this is true for the ground floor but does not detract from the property being cosy and a lovely place to stay. I stayed partly for leisure and partly for work, it is a great location to explore Cheshire or wider afield to Wales, Lancashire or Derbyshire. The wi-fi is excellent and suited both my work requirements and leisure. The dining table complete with two chairs is great for working on a laptop or having meals. The kitchen is equipped with a slimline dishwasher, washing machine, fridge / freezer, oven and hob and has adequate worktop space and storage. The lounge has a leather style sofa, downlighter lamps which you can switch half off if you wish so you can view the TV in softer light, some say the TV is too small, I found it about right really for the size of the room - all freeview channels are available but it is not a smart TV. You may need to be a little careful if you are walking in the lounge with no shoes on as there is a brick hearth which sticks out into the room, I hit my toes a couple of times (Ouch!) but you soon learn :-) - The bedroom has a double bed and plenty of space for the size of the property, storage is adequate if you pack light, small wardrobe and plenty of drawers. The small bathroom is off the bedroom and does have an opening velux window and is afforded with a toilet, basin and shower. The shower has plenty of power for a good shower. A bit tight for drying yourself if the bathroom door is shut but that adds to the fun doesn't it? The owners house is opposite the front door so you do feel a bit overlooked if you have the front door blind and kitchen blind open as it does face their kitchen I believe, however, it was not an issue for me and the owners are very friendly. Yes, the property is quite small but that's what makes it cosy and very homely when you are relaxing in the evening. There is a small table & two chairs outside the front door which is actually the passage between the owners cottage and yours but it was nice having a coffee there on a sunny morning. You also benefit from a coffee shop being within the grounds which opens from Wednesday to Saturday I believe and has outside seating with a view of the field with cows. Obviously there is inside seating also. I never managed to use it as arrived on a Friday and was out all day Saturday. There is lots of parking just at the end of the passage way, only about 15m away from the front door I would say. I loved it here, and if I am in need of accommodation for work or leisure in the area, it will be one of my top considerations. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality.

The property is in a secluded but very well connected (by car) location with easy access to local attractions and the wider Chester area.

It suits a single person rather than a couple and the ceilings and doors were a bit low for my 6 ft height. I still had a brilliant week there though.

We arrived after a longish journey and were welcomed and invited to a BBQ being held that evening!

The cottage was perfect for a quiet week away exploring Cheshire and catching up with friends. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the rest and quiet.

Lovely stay ay the dairy quiet can hear the birds lovely area, owners welcoming and coffee shop on site.

we know some of the area family live on the Wirral we had a lovely time weather a bonus.! We have booked with Sykes in the past (last year) we saw a lovely cottage in Tissington in the peak district sign said Sykes (that's where our car broke down! AA recovery back to Eaton! hire vehicle back on holiday! car still in local garage) so we will be back! looking to book for the autumn. recommended you to our neighbours Thankyou

Excellent little cottage Everything we needed Great location/base Brilliant/helpful owners

A great cottage with everything needed for a few days away.

Lovely cottage and wonderfully quiet.

Just be careful if you are over six feet tall, the doorway’s are quite low.

Small but perfectly formed.

has everything you need. Really nice friendly owners, had a relaxing stay, the cafe is a gem, great place for a single person or couple.

Downstairs warm and comfortable.

More crockery and microwave cookware required. Our biggest problem was lack of ventilation in bedroom, No opening window, We did not put heating on upstairs, but Were still far to hot .

Beautiful stay fabulous place.

Everything that is needed and extra touches. Lovely warm welcome also. Would definitely recommend and hopefully stay again.

Couldn't ask for anything better

This is a small simple cottage in an astonishing location.

The cottage is located in a farm in a quiet and beautiful village. The cottage is spacious and well designed. The main criticism is the lack of small details.. There was only one pan and the antiadherent was completely worn out, exposing the metal underneath. I must say the landlord replaced it immediately (although I was given a very large pan that did not fit well in the cooker). The oven had a protective cloth that was coming off as well. I stayed for two weeks and I was left with one bag for each bin (organic and general waste) without replacement. There was no gel nor shampoo in the bathroom. The place was nice but lack of this small details which could have made my stay even better. 6/10.

An amazing cottage which has been renovated to a high standard.

Really helpful hosts who reacted immediately to a small problem. The situation was close enough to main roads to allow access to many places of interest yet quiet enough to hear the birds singing.

Lovely place, the cottage was excellent Anne, ideal for a couple.

Anne and Declan were very hospitable and the two issues we had during our stay were swiftly resolved, you cannot ask for more.

Very kind and welcoming hosts.

We enjoyed our stay very much !

Absolutely perfect in every way, a great escape from the modern day rush.

I definitely want to come back

Lovely stay, just a few little things to make the stay cosier, some nice plump cushions on the settee, a larger TV and some bugger bed covers.

Apart from that eveything was perfect and the location is perfect fpr perfect for Oulton Park

We had a lovely stay at the cottage and would certainly recommend the property.

The drawerback with the dairy is the lack of views from the windows.

This is tollerable for a stay of a few days, but would be tiresome for a longer stay. In that respect I'd be unlikely to recommend it. I appreciate that this will probably be owing to building regulations and don't believe it reflects on the owners or managers. In other respects I found the property pretty good,, comfortable and certainly clean.

Fantastic stay in a spotlessly clean , quaint property .

The Dairy has everything you could possibly need . Very well equipped . Easy access to all local sights . Very good pubs and towns nearby . Would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful stay, a really lovely place and a great location for us (visiting Oulton Park - just a 5 minute drive).

Will certainly look to come back when we’re racing at Oulton Park again.

Lovely quiet and peaceful location, ideal for getting around Cheshire.

We used the cottage for visiting family in the area. Cottage is perfect for a short stay, very clean and comfortable. Frosted windows with no outlook took a bit of getting used to but understand the need for privacy. TV is a little small and anyone tall needs to watch out for "low flying beams"!! Would definitely stay again though as good value for money.

We had a very pleasant stay at the dairy had everything we needed although the shower room was quite small and the windows were all frosted so could not see the beautiful countryside .

The property was in a good area with Chester zoo only a 20 min drive and the Cheshire oaks designer outlet near by . We also visited other areas close by . The property was very clean and the bed comfortable . Would recommend.

We had a lovely stay, and the cottage itself cannot be faulted.

It is equipped with everything you might need, beautifully furnished, and with parking right next to the cottage. It is in a quiet, restful location, and well located to visit North Wales beaches and Snowdonia (each about 1 hour away), and Chester (about 20 minutes away). The Dairy is not in Tarporley, but is instead in a neighbouring village called Eaton, and our only minor criticism is of Eaton itself. Although the village is not tiny, there are no shops or pubs whatsoever, and, very strangely, no pavements, so even an evening stroll is problematic. You are therefore very dependent on a car to access the facilities in Tarporley, about 3 miles away. Overall though, The Dairy is a lovely place for a short break or a longer holiday. Thank you!

We had a lovely time at The Dairy.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is tiny, but very well equipped.

Excellent venue with friendly owners.

At first glance it looked small but I was wrong.

The cottage had everything we needed and the surrounds were so beautiful.

The cottage was small, but large enough for 2.

The only downside was that all the windows were frosted so we couldn’t see outside except through the window in the front door. No communication made with the owners who lived opposite - bit disappointed.

We loved the Diary, it was perfect for our needs and the location was sublime.

Anne and Declan were excellent hosts and very helpful and accommodating

Hosts were very welcoming and the cottage was clean and comfortable

It was a lovely cosy cottage just how we like it!

The owner had made sure the heating was on and the fire was a warm welcome on a dark cold night. Lovely stay and would return!

Good Wi Fi Comfortable beds Lots of nice walks in the area.

We had a lovely break and are very happy to recommend

Had a lovely weekend away at The Dairy!

Location is beautiful and the cottage is absolutely faultless. Thank you so much for having us, we will be back I am sure!

My fiancè and I had such a lovely break here.

Very serene and beautiful surroundings. The cottage itself is fully equipped with everything you could need. We cooked some lovely meals here and watched TV on the cosy sofa. The main town of tarporley is a 5 minute drive away with a spar and coop for your essentials. There are also some lovely pubs and cafes which we made the most of in the area too. I have only returned today but we are already looking at booking again and I have recommended this place to my family!

The cottage was extremely cosy, well provisioned with everything you could possibly require to make your holiday comfortable and relaxing.

The countryside outside of the door was a delight and the weather even played its part.
