"We had such a lovely time staying at The Hayloft."
The facilities were excellent, the property really well maintained and a lovely host. It is in an excellent location with lots of lovely walks but also only a short car ride to the villages and towns nearby. I would recommend The Hayloft to all my family and friends, a definite ten out of ten from me.

"Lovely location and stylish, spacious and very comfortable accommodation."
Well-equipped. Very easy parking. Use of private tennis court on the property was a great bonus. Hosts present across the courtyard, welcoming and very helpful, but leave you to get on with your break. Some really useful local info in the folder. Would definitely return.
We are thrilled that you had a really good time staying in The Hayloft, and enjoyed playing some tennis! We very much look forward to welcoming you back to The Hayloft soon! Property Owner

"Excellent situation for our needs."
Very quiet, but near all main routes. It was handy having a well stocked shop within walking distance. We appreciated the woodburner which made it very snug in the evening. The information in the folder re walks and local attractions, and the OS map, were very useful.
Thank you so much for these lovely words and we are delighted you loved staying in The Hayloft! Our little village shop is brilliant as you say, and it’s so useful being just a walk away! With very best wishes Will and Rosanna Property Owner

"We had a fantastic week staying at the Hayloft - it was the perfect base for our summer family adventures."
Beautifully presented and well equipped, it had everything we needed to relax and unwind after days out exploring. The kids loved watching the wildlife (and cows!) right the doorstep too. We would visit again without hesitation, it was a great find and the owners couldn't have been more welcoming.
We are so pleased that you all had such a wonderful time staying in The Hayloft! It was lovely meeting you and we hope you have a great rest of the summer. Property Owner

"The Hayloft is in Flintshire, just over the border into Wales, but only about ten miles from Chester."
The owners, Roseanna and Will live in the farmhouse across the farm yard and are incredibly helpful and friendly, but are discreet and leave you to have your holiday in peace. The cottage was clean and well equipped and would be a great place to come with school age children, with bikes and scooters available for younger kids and a tennis court for use as well. There are beautiful walks from the doorstep and the village of Northop is a ten minute stroll away down a lane, with a village shop and 2 pubs. Chester Zoo is about 20 minutes away, as is Beeston Castle, an English Heritage property. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be coming back

"The Hayloft is a great place to stay."
It has every comfort. We particularly liked the fact that useful odds and ends had been left, like cooking oil, foil, washing tabs etc etc. The welcome tray was also appreciated. We never met our hosts- or anybody! It was very quiet and peaceful.
-
"This was our second stay at the Hayloft and it didn't disappoint."
Everything was as we expected plus more...a Christmas tree, bottle of prosecco and some tasty mince pies were all unexpected additions and a lovely suprise. Thank you Will and Rosanna for making our stay a good one. Linda, Stephen, Ellie & Tobias

The hostess Rosanna Bankes was particularly welcoming and provided a great welcome hamper. The cottage is warm, well equipped and beautifully furnished with high standard linen. The information pack was informative and comprehensive. Very quiet and ideally situated close to Chester and also the North Wales countryside, a lovely home from home.

-
"Wow! This is a beautiful addition to the owners farmhouse."
The local village is fantastic and it was close enough to shops and for travelling to visit family in the area. Owners were really friendly and allowed our son to play with their children's scooters. Fabulous welcome basket which came with a much needed bottle of wine after a long day of travelling. Beautifully decorated and allowed us to relax.

"This property is in a lovely peaceful rural location and yet is still very conveniently placed for visiting lots of places - North Wales coast, Chester, Cheshire Oaks to name a few."

"The cottage was extremely thoughtfully presented."
We have stayed in many, many rental cottages but I thought that the hayloft was the best equipped we have ever stayed in. It made such a difference to have tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided plus toiletries and dressing gowns. These little things make a huge difference.

The property
Northop 0.6 miles.
A stunning, Grade II listed barn conversion, overlooking a spacious courtyard, opposite the owner's farmhouse on a picturesque farm, just ten minutes walk from the village of Northop in Flintshire and fifteen minutes' drive from the city of Chester.
Accessed up original covered stone steps, this delightful barn conversion is located above a row of barn outbuildings.
It is beautifully decorated and presented with a welcoming feel as soon as you enter into the open plan sitting room with woodburner.
The well-equipped kitchen with dining area is perfectly designed to provide you with all you will need for a memorable stay, and the two delightful and stylish bedrooms with sumptuous bed linen share a modern stylish bathroom with bath and shower option.
The owners have retained character features where possible including many stunning old wooden beams and the Grade II listed A Frame dividing the living space from the bedrooms and bathroom.
There is also a snug alcove providing a cosy retreat to curl up with a book next to the roaring fire and escape from it all.
Outside, there is an all-weather tennis court set at the edge of grazing fields which provides a unique location for an enjoyable game of tennis.
There is also a private lawned garden with patio terrace, Charcoal BBQ and garden furniture, where you can sit and relax with a cup of coffee and a good book.
The Hayloft is surrounded by beautiful countryside so why not stroll down through woodlands to the owner's lake, past the free-range chickens and enjoy the wildlife and scenery, before taking the 10 minute walk into the village to enjoy a drink or meal at one of the village pubs?
Wat's Dyke runs through the farm grounds and doorstep walks lead onto Wat's Dyke Path stretching to Holywell and the coast in one direction, and the Welsh Marches in the other.
There are lots of great walking and cycling routes from The Hayloft.
Perfectly located to enjoy all that the North Wales coast and Chester and its surrounds offer, this delightful cottage is superbly placed whatever you wish to do.
About the location
NORTHOP
Chester 12 miles.
Located 12 miles west of Chester, on the borderlands of Wales and England, Northop is a historic and pretty village, dating back over 1000 years, with a variety of architectural styles on offer along the high street. Developed as a result of its strategic position on the transport route between the two countries it thrived throughout the 17th century and still retains a delightful village feel, with three welcoming village pubs, a busy Post Office and general stores and several shops and businesses make up its centre, along with a village cricket club and reputable golf club. The Wats Dyke was built in the 8th century to protect the Welsh from invaders and now forms a delightful walk from Holywell along a 65km trail into Shropshire, cutting through the village and surrounding farmland of Northop. Be sure to visit St Eurgain's Grade I listed church in the village, eat at one of the village pubs and perhaps hear the award-winning Northop Silver Band rehearsing in the nearby band hall. With excellent access to both Chester and the North Wales coast on the A55, just 2 miles drive to the renowned Theatr Clwyd, fantastic country walks and cycling routes and several excellent golf courses in the area, Northop is an ideal base for exploring the many delights on offer in the region.
