Swallow Cottage

A lovely setting: the gardens are developing and will be impressive when the rains come !

! The barn was adequate for our needs. The bed was lovely although I found it quite high to get into !! The 2 seater settee in the lounge would benefit from some more loose cushions for those of us who have short legs. Only 3 side plates meant that using the dishwasher was not economical....a rather varied selection of crockery all round ! The 2 lads from the house were very helpful, and we really enjoyed getting acquainted with some of the Springer spaniels who were just great.

Swallow cottage had the right level of comfort for us to enjoy a relaxing break in a quiet rural location.

We received a warm friendly greeting on arrival with a guided tour of the site which has extensive countryside views. There are pleasant rural lane and footpath walks from the cottage (30min to Bears Paw Warmingham) and we found the location to be an excellent base for visiting nearby National Trust properties and local towns. We're already planning dates to stay there again.

A very nice, smart and comfortable cottage, which we would recommend.

The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very efficient. The garden outside was beautifully maintained and will look very pretty in the summer. A vase of flowers on the coffee table was a nice touch. Access to the property and parking was no problem. Our only comments otherwise are that the lighting in the lounge was a bit dim and it was difficult to economically run the dishwasher as there were insufficient plates and dishes.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Within easy access to many local attractions. Helpful friendly owner, Would stay again.

Very comfortable cottage, ideally situated for visiting many interesting places.

Appliances and kitchen equipment of a high standard, but the kitchen area needs a brighter light over the hob as it's very difficult to see the controls. Bed very comfortable but the whole place is sadly let down by the lack of cleaning!! Cobwebs everywhere, on lampshades in lounge and bedroom, up corners, around windows, even under the TV stand which I cleaned up, all of which appear to have been there a very long time.!!! I appreciate it's difficult to reach the cobwebs high up in the roof space, but no excuse for the rest. Also lots of crumbs and feathers under cushions of the sofa. I suggest it needs a deep clean.

We loved our stay at Swallow Cottage .

It was nice & roomy for two , very well equipped for our needs & it was wonderful to be surrounded by such a beautiful garden . We often visit special gardens on holiday & this time we were actually staying in one . We had a heatwave during our stay but the new blinds & a powerful fan kept us cool . We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts & their lovely dogs . The cottage is within easy reach of some excellent historic properties, picturesque villages & the city of Chester . We definitely want to visit again in the future .

The property was just perfect, well decorated with top quality fixtures and fixings.

The location was quiet and peaceful. We will stay again as there is so much to do in the local area. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant and relaxing.

Absolutely lovely visit, cottage was amazing

Swallow Barn was clean and comfortable with just enough utensils in the kitchen.

The host was very friendly and showed us around her extensive garden and also a guided tour of the art gallery, and gave us tips on the best places in the area to visit. We enjoyed our stay especially being able to sit in the enclosed courtyard by the patio doors.

A fabulous barn conversion but the major thing wrong with it is needs curtains or blinds at the huge windows because when the sun is so hot you can't sit in the room.

When we arrived it was too hot I had to sit in the bedroom and read. Not good at all. It's a long way to walk to the town so driving mainly which I'd rather not do. We enjoyed our stay and the bed was so comfy and it had everything you need, just the window.

Lovely cottage.

Peaceful location. Very comfortable bed. Everything there that we needed. We had a very relaxing peaceful stay and would not hesitate to go back.

We really enjoyed our stay and the owners were friendly, helpful and accommodating.

The property was well designed and provided everything we needed. The gardens were beautiful. A perfect base for exploring the area and a comfortable place to retreat and relax.

A great property kitted out to a high standard with plenty of space and in a lovely location: only thing was heating - a bit too hot and couldn’t really control it.

We had a lovely stay at Swallow Cottage, nothing was too much trouble for the owner, she made us feel very welcome.

The Cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed, it had been renovated to a very good standard.

A warm welcome from Chris and the property was as we expected.

Its a beautiful part of the country and Chris's tip of getting the train from Crewe to Liverpool was very helpful. On the very slightly negative the gesture of milk in fridge would have been appreciated.

Would recommend staying at Swallow Cottage as it is very comfortable and has its own enclosed courtyard.

Owner on the site and friendly and helpful. Within an hour's travelling distance from various National Trust properties and not too far to travel to RHS Bridgewater. Would stay again.

Swallow Cottage is in a lovely quiet location.

Really well fitted out and very comfortable. Faulty shower speedily rectified by our friendly host. Great spot for a relaxing break.

Probably the best self-catering accommodation we have stayed at for a long time.

We came from Ireland by car and needed a base in Cheshire for one week to visit family and friends in November. Swallow Cottage is part of a barn conversion that was completed in summer 2022 so everything is brand new and immaculate. The lounge/diner/kitchen is excellent for two people, the bedroom is spacious with king size bed and the en-suite has a superb shower. The whole unit has under floor heating that is highly efficient as we found during cold weather. We chose this on a balance of cost and quality versus hotel rooms because it gave us more flexibility to do what we wanted when we wanted. Location is on the farm so the owners, who are very helpful, are available if required. The cottage is easy to find using SatNav and close to the main roads. Everything was positive and no negatives
