• "Beautiful Cheshire Home ."

  Stunning home and surroundings, we booked here so we could meet up with our older children who are at University. Perfect location , perfect sized home for us all, 9 of us. Very spacious, having the 2 living rooms was great for the younger children ** I do feel a DVD player or having Netflix could be an added bonus. ** A music centre or a Bluetooth speaker would be great to have too. All the bedrooms looked beautiful and very comfortable, I've actually come home and bought Fogarty Duvets ECT, really comfy bed in the main bedroom. Children all loved their rooms. The games room was used alot by everyone and they enjoyed this. Having the washing machine and dryer was a godsend. The kitchen had everything you could think of, well at least what I could think of! Shane the arga wasn't in use as we wanted to make a big roast dinner. The 2 hobs just isn't enough, although we found an electric steamer, this was pretty useless. ** Please provided a tiered steamer you can pop on the hob. Please provide better cleaning products and a long handled broom. Although I've added a few not major negatives, I would certainly book again. This really is a beautiful home and very relaxing. I was that relaxed I felt so much at home I didn't want to leave. **** In the little courtyard where the table and chairs are, you really need a Hot tub here! Thank you for a lovely Stay :-)

• "Manor Wood is a lovely property in a great location."

  Our family held their annual get together there this weekend and everyone loved it. The layout is excellent with a comfortable seating area in the conservatory leading to the dining space and then the kitchen so those preparing meals were still part of the group. Loads of space to sit everyone down comfortably. Drives me mad when a house for 10 only seats part of the group in a room or at the table. Manor wood had plenty of space for us all. Excellent cooking facilities with 2 ovens, the hob and an extra electric plug in hob to make up for the main small 2 ring hob. Some empty cupboard space in kitchen for your own provisions, again not something everywhere thinks of. Beds were comfortable with good quality linen. No huge list of rules, genuinely relaxing. Friendly wardens at the caravan site next door. The caravan site in no way takes away from the property which is private and enjoys a fabulous view over a fishing lake. Plenty of parking. We enjoyed a lovely day in Chester. Plenty of walks nearby. One of our favourite properties we'd say.

  The couch's were comfortable and the rooms reasonable size. There was a lack of bins in all the rooms and there was not enough storage in the downstairs bedroom. The utility and the kitchen were were stocked.

• "The house has plenty of room and facilities."

  Went there 5 1/2 years ago. I feel it's a bit tired now and would benefit from updating. Floor boards creak quite a bit which is annoying. I also think that it's a bit costly for just 3 nights. Otherwise a nice stay.

• "We recently stayed at this lovely property with a group of 10 people, and it exceeded our expectations in so many ways."

  Despite our large group, the property was incredibly spacious, allowing everyone to spread out and have their own space. The property was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere, and the beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep for everyone. We particularly loved the big garden - although none of us are into fishing, it was still wonderful being next to the water. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook for the group. The wine cooler was a fantastic bonus! One of the highlights was the little cafe just a short 20-step walk from the garden gate, which was handy for breakfast and hot drinks. We appreciated there being a couple of televisions, which gave us some entertainment options during downtime. The outdoor seating area was nice (it would be even better if there were BBQ facilities available). Parking was very convenient and sufficient for the 10 of us who arrived in 5 cars. The area itself seemed lovely and picturesque, with some pubs nearby that we enjoyed visiting. The staff on the site were absolutely lovely, providing a personal touch to our stay by regularly checking in to ensure everything was okay and asking if we needed anything. It was a really personable service, which made our stay feel special. Access to the pool on site was a huge plus, and everyone in our group enjoyed it thoroughly. **Suggestions:** For future guests, I would recommend doing a bit of a food shop before arriving, as there didn't seem to be many supermarkets nearby unless you're willing to travel to Wrexham or Chester. With 10 of us, we found that the provided three rolls of toilet paper were not sufficient, though the staff at reception were very helpful and promptly provided us with more when we asked. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property to others. Many thanks!

  Generally well equipped but would benefit from a shower cubicle in the ensuite bedroom as this is a little outdated. A BBQ would be really appreciated for the summer months (we took our own). No extras were provided e.g. hand towel for downstairs bathroom, toilet rolls, cling film, dishwash brush, scourer etc.

• "I do hope that the owner reads this review as it is meant as objective feedback."

  The house is spacious, large kitchen, private parking and free use of the pool. Unfortunately there were some problems. Ant infestation in the Sun Room which we presume is not new as container of Ant Powder under the sink. We vacuumed them up on the day of arrival and applied more powder. Some crockery and pans put away still dirty and not checked by cleaners. Poor selection of utensils, no slotted spoon, the fish slice was useless, no measuring jug, flimsy colander, the kitchen inventory needs checking. Lots of cocktail equipment for the folks that are celebrating. AGA off in the summer so you only have an excellent Neff double oven and 2 ceramic rings. It does make it tricky to cook a meal and you need to plan around this inconvenience. Double bed in the master bedroom is past its best, springs are very obvious. My husband tried the double bed downstairs as he was very uncomfortable but unfortunately this room doesn't have a window that opens to the outside as it leads into the Sun Room. Looks like new carpet in the Master Room. It would be really helpful to dog owners if the vacuum was upgraded to one that is designed for pet hair so that the lounge could be vacuumed thoroughly before check out .

• "Hello Property is ideal for gatherings, however it is looking tired, the carpet is stained upstairs and we had to clean the kitchen cupboards inside as clearly hadn't been cleaned."

  (photos available if required). Downstairs rooms really lovely and spacious. Kitchen has everything visitors need very well equipped. Upstairs bedrooms comfortable, en suite again looking tired. Generally a perfect property for gatherings, however there are some things we weren't made aware of which would be helpful to potential visitors. a) twice per day a buggy appears and is parked in the garage b) we arrived at 4pm Friday, and had to clean the inside of kitchen cupboards c) at approximately 12/12.30 on the Saturday, the gardeners appeared to cut the lawns d) at approximately 8.30am on Monday (check out is 10am), the gardeners were back to assess the lawns. Visitors should be made aware in advance that the property is not private and for their sole use. We couldn't understand why when check out is 10am and check-in is 4pm, why all the jobs could not be completed within that time frame, especially as the weather had been so beautiful. We had booked the property Fri - Mon and had made the owners aware we were having afternoon tea at 3pm on the Saturday for a number of guests to celebrate an 80th birthday, so having the grass freshly cut, it was inevitable that grass would be brought in to the property. We did have an amazing weekend, the weather and location are perfect.

  It is spacious and comfortable, with everything you could need. We were there over a very cold weekend; however, we were very cosy in this warm house with the Aga in the kitchen and wood-burning stoves in the sitting room and conservatory.

• "A fabulous property."

  Great facilities with plenty of space. It is in a great area and close to many interesting places to visit, Chester, Nantwich etc. Several great eateries in the close vicinity. Our only suggestions are that the bathrooms did not have bath mats or non slip mats in the baths and showers, this created slip hazards. Plus there was only a one bin liner in the kitchen bin. This meant we had to go out buy a roll which was not a problem but we felt a couple of extras ones would have been helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending Manor Wood to others and we would certainly be happy to return.

  We had an issue with some of the downstairs lights not working. We contacted the owners who immediately came round to see if they were able to sort the issue for us. Unfortunately it was not a straightforward fix and necessitated an electrician to visit. The electrician was organised quickly and the issues was sorted. Owner Nigel was extremely helpful. Nigel even went out of his way to assist one of our party who had got lost on the way to the property. I will consider booking this holiday property again in the future.

  Cafe on site is fantastic food and very welcoming staff, so friendly, as for the reception ladies they were fantastic and took 2 of the girls to the local garage for some supplies.

• "Lovely Holiday cottage and would be 10s all around if it wasnt for 2 things."

  1. When we went to the manorwood caravan park the woman at reception was incredibly rude to myself and my group purely based off our age (22-25), even though we were didnt break any of the caravan park rules(not students or groups of singles) or the cottage booking rules, this really soured the trip and meant we felt uncomfortable using the caravan park facilities. She even threatened to call sykes if we were too loud before we'd even been there 5 minutes. 2. Due to the weather it was incredibly inside and there was lack of any AC methods(fan etc) in the cottage. I did search all over and couldn't find any fans or anything about, I know it will be the autumn season now, but for the summer a fan in the living room would be good or an air cooling unit of some kind.

  Thank you Callum for taking the time to leave a review of our property. Firstly, I apologise if I came across as being rude to you and your friend on your arrival, it certainly was not intentional but we do like to meet the party leader, if only to explain a couple of points that sometimes are overlooked when a large group of friends get together ! I really appreciated your suggestion for a couple of fans to be provided - and we will certainly take your suggestion on board and provide couple for a future guests. Once again I apologise and would very much like to welcome you all back to Manor wood at some point soon. Property Owner

  As a family we liked the conservatory and spent most of our time in here along with the garden. The fishing was excellent. Our only concern we noticed the stairs to the decking could do with either a rail in the middle or some care as very slippery when wet. The floor boards upstairs were very noisy however on the plus side you knew when someone was awake. Overall staff on site were brilliant nothing was too much trouble.

  The house was lovely and nicely furnished and the conservatory was very relaxing to sit in.

My 82 year old dad loved fishing from the little jetty, all included in the stay. Facilities on adjacent caravan park were great, especially the heated outdoor pool.

  A little downside was the squeaky floorboards which meant if anyone wanted to walk around it could wake everyone else up. There was also no first aid kit so if you're staying, remember to take your own, as the shop also didn't have any antiseptic wipes but they did have plasters.

  It provides all we need for a family with 2 young children and 6 adults. However, I still have an issues with Sykes Cottages over a booking we had at Manor Wood for the first week of August 2021. As the pandemic rolled on it became obvious that we were not, as a family, living in 3 different parts of the country going to be able to live in the same place for a week. The group from South Wales could not travel more than 5 miles from home, and group from Manchester could not bubble with us. I wonder why you then charged me £770 cancellation fee? Was it not obvious to you that we were in such a position? I am almost sure you re-let the house for the period we were due to go. Did I read this year that you are offering refunds because of the pandemic? If so, what was different last year that you could not do the same? When we told the people who owned the house what you had done last year year, they were horrified.

  We chose the cottage for the fishing lake and we weren't disappointed as the whole family got involved with fishing and loved it. Three generations, six adults and four children had a brilliant week at Manor Wood and we would definitely go back.

• "We had an amazing time in this beautiful spacious Cottage and loved everything about it and the view of the lake was absolutely Stunning!"

  Everything was close by including the swimming pool, badminton court and the Cafeteria which was perfect for us and the children. We loved the fireplace it was so Beautiful, the only disappointment would be that there wasn’t any logs in the accommodation which we could have used for our stay. Although they did leave instructions of where we could purchase the logs from it would have been nice to leave some in the cottage and have the option to perhaps use it with an additional charge rather than having none at all, as we were on holiday and felt we didn’t want to go out looking for logs and wasting our time. Also having a sign outside the cottage would be helpful as it was difficult finding the place especially when we were ordering takeaway orders, no one knew where we actually was and would end up going to the caravan Site instead! Cot and high hair was provided which was a bonus. Everything else was perfect And I would highly recommend!

  We brought our children and small grandchildren. Plenty of room, excellent outlook over the lake, and cows in the field at the front. Great to have the option to use the pool, tennis court, recreation area and cafe in the caravan park which we did. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend it as we all loved it.

• "Brilliant annual fishing holiday."

  Large superb house with garden backing on to a small well stocked lake. Fishing was excellent with wide variety and size of fish. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good cafe close to bottom of garden. Excellent local pubs up the road and in Holt. Taxi fares to and from Chester very reasonably priced. Beautiful location and would heartily recommend! Very reasonably priced. Only recommendation would be a readily available yard brush and hose to clean down the fishing peg.

  The house was immaculate & very spacious. It was our first visit but we will definitely be returning.Although the weather was mixed it didn’t matter as just sitting in the large conservatory to the back of the house overlooking the lake & watching the wildlife was a wonderful experience. Everybody in the party young & old had a lovely time including the dog.

• "One or two suggestions."

  We had four children in our party, who were woken early as the daylight came into the bedrooms. Possibly install blackout blinds or thicker curtains. The mattress in the en-suite bedroom was very squeaky. Several creaky floorboards upstairs. Having said all that, we all had a super time, with our family, to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary, and would recommend the house to anyone. The surrounding park is well maintained and the pool area is very good.

• "Manor Wood was a fabulous property."

  It certainly had the wow factor and really tastefully decorated. We celebrated a 50th birthday here with friends it was a fantastic party space. The views from the property were amazing. It was very warm and cosy and the cleanliness was spot on. It was lovely to be able to sit out on the lovely garden furniture. I think the property would really benefit from a hot tub. Would definitely recommend!

  We loved the tennis court. The weather was glorious for November and sitting in the conservatory was a pleasure with a wonderful view over the lake. The rooms are huge and we had lots of space to all sit around the table to eat. The aga in the kitchen kept the room lovely and warm. Lots of hot water for all of us to shower. 10 min walk to a lovely pub too. Hope to be back next year.

• "We can't complain about anything, house was beautiful."

  Only problem we had was the wasps, they maybe a nest near by, we made some wasp catchers but we still couldn't keep doors and windows open when really warm. If we had to nit pick I'd say 2 rings on cooker is not enough when they where 10 people staying, maybe invest in a 4 ring hob instead. We also think a hot tub would be a great investment for the evenings when kids are in bed. But all in all we loved our stay and would recommend minus the wasps of course.

• "Excellent accomodation BUT it came as a surprise that the communal swimming pool was 400 yards away and the games room 200 yards."

  The cooking facilities are NOT sufficient for 10 people (small oven, grill and only TWO hob rings!). The house is in need of renovation (our window in the master suite had vines growing through it making the window unuseable). Overall a pleasant week where we all enjoyed relaxing.

  We loved it. One of the best! Only a small thing. Would appreciate info about kitchen stuff required like dish washer tablets/washing up liquid/dish cloths/kitchen roll etc as usually in other cottages these are supplied even if just initially. I normally ask when I ring for key instructions but didn't speak to the owner herself and the person didn't seem to know any details! Also needed more kitchen utensils for using with large frying pans!

  Bbq especially in summer as no aga and only two rings for cooking which are not very big. Also we would recommend is more garden furniture eg table and chairs so that you can sit outside for meals also so umbrellas and sunbeds, The main entrance with a ramp would be useful, and maybe a few blinds in conservatory. But otherwise the property was first class
