“The listing was very open that the cottage sits between two busy roads.”

Fortunately armed with ear plugs and having nights that were not overly hot so not needing the windows open it didn’t really affect us very much however in very hot weather when you would want the windows open it could be a big downer if your not used to traffic noise. We phoned the equestrian center across the road as instructed to arrange collection of keys, as we arrived while the office was open we went there as arranged to collect the keys only to find they had been placed in the key safe on the outside wall. Nothing major just a little frustrating at the wasted journey as at then end of a long drive all we wanted to do was get in to use the loo and put the kettle on. The bathroom was very clean as were the bedrooms. Had to fold down the travel cot and store it out of the way before we could get into the smallest room but again nothing major. The lounge was clean and tidy. The covers on one of the sofas could have done with a freshen up, it looked as though it had a couple of dirty paw marks on the covers but they weren’t where we sat they were on the arms so not a problem we worked around it. For me the major disappointment was the kitchen. It look nice and clean on the surface. However the freezer needed a major defrost. The inside of the fridge needed cleaning before I could put food in there and the bottom of the oven had fatty water over it that had to be cleaned up before the oven could be used. I know holiday let’s are not a home from home, you won’t get all of the finishing touches that you get at home but to me general cleanliness should be a top priority and I felt this had sadly failed. The only other downside we found was there only being the one bathroom. I know this is what was advertised but didn’t realise with a houseful just how valuable a downstairs toilet would have been when there are 6 people all wanting to use the bathroom. We went from 4 for the first few days up to 6 over a long weekend down to 3 for the second half of the second week and we managed fine either side of the long weekend. Over that period where there was the 6 of us it was defiantly a little squashed. You would probably get away with it quite easily if most are children but we were 5 adults and one child. All in all not a bad place to stay though.

“Cottage was an ideal size for three adults and three children plus one small dog .”

Unfortunate about position of cottage in between two busy roads 60 mph limit, good parking at rear of property enough for two cars. For some reason there were twelve mugs , four knives, eight forks , three desert spoons and four bowls , bin in kitchen had seen better days and would have been nice to have had the correct liners for it , toilet seat needs replacing fittings loose also . Property just needs a bit of tweaking to be spot on .

“This is our 4th visit to this cottage.”

Convenient location , staff at the equestrian centre across the road were very accommodating. Good walks for dogs, The Fishpool is a great Gastropub nearby and The Hollies farm shop is a must to visit too. Helpful owner when we had a problem with the heating early Saturday evening, he came out within 15 minutes and sorted it. Facilities are fine, the road is noisy during the day but you do get used to it very quickly! The new garden gate made the garden secure for the dogs. I’m sure we’ll visit again next year!

“Good base for a weekend away.”

Cottage was pleasant although a couple of the features were a bit tired and dated, but overall not bad. Garden small so maybe not best suited for large high energy dogs, but walks on doorstep at a Delamere Forest lovely and allowed plenty of off lead opportunities. Ate out at local pub, Fishpool inn which was excellent. Chester was also worth a visit.

Mr Chappell September 2019

“Lovely place to stay, been staying for the last couple of month for week, Couldn't ask for anything better!”

- Mr Chappell, September 2019
Mr Parr June 2019

“Very clean and comfortable cottage.”

Well equip kitchen and modern bathroom. Made for a excellent base for a wedding locally.

- Mr Parr, June 2019
Mr Hand June 2019

“The only criticism i would have and it didnt spoil our break was there was no washing line, it was too warm to put on fire or heating so couldnt dry indoors and the washer/dryer doessnt dry well so would have been useful to be able to hang clothes out.”

Just a possible touch to add something.

- Mr Hand, June 2019
Mr Fear May 2019

“Ve ry disappointed with position of cottage advert stated there would be some traffic noise.”

This was unbelievingly noisy as the cottage was sandwiched between 2 roads one being the main road to Chester and the other to the m6. We were unable to sleep and had to come home early as we were so tired . Very disappointing when you go away to relax. Also no welcome pack which would of been very welcome as there were no shops around Lastly we were unable to walk to the local pub with our dogs without risking our lives on these busy roads I

Mr Cook March 2019

“The cottage was really nice and suited our needs perfectly.”

The staff we dealt with over the phone were helpful and friendly. There were a few negatives unfortunately. The garden would have been perfectly adequate for our dogs except there was a missing fence panel which meant we couldn't let the dogs out unsupervised. There was also a leaky shower. Aside from the manageable negatives, a great cottage in a good location.

- Mr Cook, March 2019
Mr Geary November 2018

“Location was great, cottage was spotless, the pub up the road was really nice, the food was excellent.”

Being nr the two roads wasnt an issue as the cottage has great double glazing, you can’t here road. Collecting and dropping keys easy. Will come again.

- Mr Geary, November 2018
Mr Wallis November 2018

“Really nice cottage, warm and pleasant, easy to collect and drop off keys were a plus, very comfortable and relaxing”

- Mr Wallis, November 2018
Mr Rendle November 2018

“We had a lovely week.”

Having somewhere warm and cosy to return to was great.

- Mr Rendle, November 2018
Mrs Whent September 2018

“The cottage was clean, spacious for us all (including two small children and two small dogs) and easy to find.”

Close to Chester Zoo, also Primrose Hill wooded walks and Delamere Forest. Interesting to watch super horses at Equitation Centre opposite. The cottage is set in between two constantly busy commuter roads but you can quickly escape to quieter places. Very good value for money.

- Mrs Whent, September 2018
Mrs Gregory August 2018

“Lovely clean cottage.”

Very cosy/comfortable. Radiator in lounge stuck on so a little hot. Did inform the landlord. Everything catered for. Great location.

- Mrs Gregory, August 2018
Mrs Copley July 2018

“We have never used Sykes before but found the listing about the cottage to be mostly accurate.”

Lovely old cottage, with a log burner, which we didn't use. Directly opposite the equestrian centre. Lovely bathroom with a great shower. I can't say this was the relaxing holiday we had planned though .Unable to sit outside and have a relaxing drink in the garden as advertised. .the noise from the road is terrible. Also, due to summer high temperatures we needed windows open all night .Impossible to get to sleep until 1am..traffic eases off then and begins again at 4am. People need to be aware of this before booking this particular cottage. If I had known about the noise I would have booked a different property! The small row of cottages are located on a triangular piece of land with a main road on each side Heavy HGV traffic and speeding vehicles all day and all night !

- Mrs Copley, July 2018
Miss Weller June 2018

“The shower was not working so only the bath was available.”

It would have been really useful to have been told this in advance so that we could ensure we took the correct smellies with us, to be honest we would not have booked a cottage without a shower and although a leek can't be helped a bit more information would have been useful. The kitchen lacked some basic equipment like a colander/sieve and oven gloves. That said we enjoyed the cottage and our stay. The customer service from Sykes was excellent.

- Miss Weller, June 2018
Mrs Bluer April 2018

“The cottage was great, everything we needed.”

You might want to downplay the possible noise on the main road as it was absolutely fine and it almost put me off booking it in the first place. Very clean and spacious, good location.

- Mrs Bluer, April 2018
Mrs Colbourne March 2018

“Great location for visiting Chester etc.”

Nice terraced house, with everything you need (including a good shower

Ms Welsby January 2018

“Property was lovely, clean, modern, spacious & comfortable, Wonderful to watch the horses in the equestrian center across the road.”

Sandwiched between 2 busy roads, but did not detract in any way. (noise wise). Took a little while to work out heating on our arrival late evening, as after following instructions in kitchen (to only use the thermostat) heating did not come on. Partner sussed it (as heating was basically turned off). and after about half an hour or so we were able to be toasty!! (plus got the wood burner going). Back gate did not lock, and we had to wedge it shut, to make sure our dog was safe, especially as very busy roads in close proximity. We were visiting family so did not visit all the usual lovely places in the area, but definitely a great base for visiting Chester, Delamere Forest, wonderful walks, and North wales too!! Would definitely return. To be honest, cottage did exceed our expectations and we really enjoyed our stay.

- Ms Welsby, January 2018
Miss Warren December 2017

“This was our second trip to this property as we had enjoyed our first visit so much.”

The location is ideal for exploring the nearby Delamere Forest and Sandstone Trail and handy for Chester. The cottage is in great condition and equipped with everything you need for a week away and the owners are just across the road if you need anything extra. It's lovely and cosy in the Winter with a log burner (and you can buy additional wood from across the road as you need it) and the owners even left a little Christmas Tree as we stayed in December!

- Miss Warren, December 2017
Mr Brown November 2017

“A good location to explore Chester and a Delamere forest, the house was exactly as described and the WiFi and log burner were a great addition.”

Delaremere forest on the doorstep and 2 good pubs 20 mins walk away made this house good value all round.

- Mr Brown, November 2017
Mrs Shields October 2017

“Lovely house in a quiet are, great location for exploring surrounding areas we visited North Wales, Liverpool and chester, great outlet mall at Cheshire oaks.”

A lovely week away in a lovely home, we would most definitely return.

- Mrs Shields, October 2017

“Road noise”

- Mr Bell, August 2016
Mrs Aitken June 2016

“An excellent, nicely decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean property.”

It was well located just across the road from the owners equestrian centre. From the bedroom window, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the horses and riders jumping in the arena. It was a very good base, with lots of lovely places to visit round about and some excellent pubs and restaurants nearby. Only one problem, it was not long enough, we wished we could have stayed longer. Thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and would love to return in the near future. Thank you.

- Mrs Aitken, June 2016
Mrs Butler June 2016

“The location was ideal for our needs.”

It was a very well equipped home for the week, and was comfortable and clean, bright and airy. The off road parking was good.

- Mrs Butler, June 2016
Mrs Bland June 2015

“We couldn't have asked for more.”

Very comfortable, beautifully presented and well equipped holiday cottage. The owner was very helpful.

- Mrs Bland, June 2015
Mrs Chitty June 2014

“The cottage was so well equipped, modern and clean that we were very happy with it.”

The owners have obviously taken great care to provide good quality furniture and fittings and it has all been modernised to a very high standard. Having the rear vehicle access made dealing with the road so much easier, so it wasn't a problem at all.

- Mrs Chitty, June 2014
Mr Webster May 2014

“Excellent location for us, accommodation was of very good standard with a thoughtful well planned layout.”

Off road Parking at rear of property for two cars. Plenty of space in the garden. Good quality sheets, quilts and towels (plenty of towels as well). All accessories for a child as well with travel cot, stair gates and high chairs. Shower was excellent too.

- Mr Webster, May 2014

About the location

KELSALL

Chester 8 miles.

The village of Kelsall is situated on Kelsall Hill, on the edge of the Cheshire Plains. The village is located near the famous Sandstone Trail and Delamere Forest and offers picturesque buildings, two historic churches, renowned farm shops, as well as a number of excellent pubs - there is something for everyone here. Chester is located 8 miles north, and the city has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed town houses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including superb shopping on the famous 'Rows', and lovely walks around the old Roman Walls, along The Groves beside the River Dee, or through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. The stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, and the market towns and villages of Cheshire and Shropshire are all within easy touring distance, whilst the nearby Wirral Peninsula has many splendid courses to tempt the golfing enthusiast.
