"We were greeted with a very warm welcome from the owner, the property was immaculate, and so well stocked with everything we could need ,with the delightful added bonus of fresh flowers and cupcakes ,there was even prosecco and milk in the fridge."
The outlook onto the patio and hot tub and well kept large communal lawned area was lovely and peaceful ,the nearby busy road did not distract from this at all. Good play area for children.We had a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable family holiday. Would definitely go back.

"Fantastic cottage and the hosts were great."
Lovely gifts of proseco, cakes and milk for a well earned refresh following a long drive.
The cottage was amazing with all the comforts. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. And the security and privacy.
Yes there is a car wash out front, however we did not have any concerns with noise.
This cottage is perfectly central for Chester, Liverpool and Manchester.
Lots of activities with Chester zoo and Go ape approximately 15 mins away. The tolls for the Liverpool tunnels were £2.10 each way which we felt was very reasonable for a 30 min drive.
Fantastic holiday thank you we will be looking forward to another holiday in the future.

"The cottage was not accurately represented."
No indication the lovely front view was behind a car wash. The private spa could be viewed by the next cottage walking past. Three bathrooms = 3 toilets. Shower over bath =shower spray over bath, no screen. We booked for 6 but fortunately ended up as 2 as the furniture was uncomfortable and insufficient for 6. The TV was impossible to watch as it was so high up. The hens pooed all over the patio & there was a pile of poo at the end of the garden near the old scaffolding. Otherwise, very clean, well equipped with helpful owner input.

I would 100% recommend to other people and will definitely be back. The cleanliness was out of this world and we felt at home. The beds were so comfy and thought it was great how well equipped it was. The hot tub was fabulous as well. The owners should apply to go on “Four In A Bed.” The finishing touches were lovely, the flowers, bottle of cava in the fridge and the cupcakes. Thank you!

"We had a lovely stay at The Shippon."
On arrival, even though we were earlier than expected, we were greeted and everything was ready. There was also milk, cava and cakes which was a lovely touch.
The house itself is beautiful and comfortable and the bedrooms upstairs as well as the mezzanine were perfect for our 2 children aged 6 and 3 as was the brilliant garden with play equipment.
The hot tub was wonderful, the owners were on hand if we ever needed them and it was a great base for Chester and Liverpool. Just what we wanted.

"We had the most amazing break at this fabulous accomidation."
It was so clean and so many little finishing touches added that made it a true home from home with the added bonus of a hot tub! We where a group of 4 adults and 2 children, the owners where so accommodating, I spoke with them the day before we arrived and explained that we had an 18 month old coming and they provided a high chair and baby gate. We arrived and had cupcakes, a bottle of fiz and some milk waiting for us. This was such a thoughtful tough and set our break off to the most perfect start. It is perfect distance to attractions like Chester zoo, blue planet aquarium and Cheshire oakes shopping Centre. The pub over the road served lovely food and was great just over the road. The children spent hours on the play equipment, can't wait to return!

"What an amazing place!"
Everything was clean, well maintained, and very well equipped. It literally has everything you need. Absolutely loved the layout and design of the place.
We had 2 kids with us and thought we might struggle to keep them entertained, but it even had everything for them, if they weren't playing in the garden or on the slide/swings, they were asking to go in the hot tub. And when they were inside, they loved going upstairs and playing with all the toys. When the kids were entertaining themselves, we got chance to relax.
The pub/restaurant across the road was lovely too.
This was a very well needed break, didn't want to leave, and I'm sure we will go back.
Thank you

"Absolutely brilliant cottage with everything you could need."
The owner was lovely and helpful. Perfectly located for everywhere we wanted to visit and plenty of food options and even a Tesco nearby.
I clean holiday cottages so I am usually disappointed with the level of cleanliness in cottages we are staying in and usually go around cleaning on arrival but not at the Shippon! It was absolutely immaculate and clean. Beautiful throughout, thanks so much and we can't wait to come back.
Thanks Emma for such a lovely review. We are very lucky to have a brilliant team of cleaners. If you ever relocate, would love you to join them. The cottage was left immaculate. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

We were greeted with milk, cupcakes, sparkling wine and flowers. Lovely after a long journey.
Accomodation was great and we didn't want to leave. Despite the typical August weather (cool and showery) we used the large hot tub more than once a day (Bluetooth music speaker in it led to much laughter and sing alongs). Twice we were offered free ice creams whilst in the hot tub, a lovely treat.
Kitchen was vast and had everything we needed.
Eating establishment just across the road, had an extensive and yummy menu.
Cottage was in a good location for many attractions and days out and train station was a 5 min drive or 25 min walk.
Would definitely recommend.

The house was immaculate with great facilities and amazing garden space. The beds were also super comfy! The location is great for exploring many nearby places and attractions, we found plenty to do! The kids really enjoyed the ice cream farm which is close by.
