"We have just returned from a mini 4 Day break in this unique property."
The photographs of the South Tower are accurate, but they don’t begin to show how lovely it is, and the grounds are beautiful which is a credit to all the Gardening Team. The location was perfect with easy access to RHS Bridgewater, NT Quarry Bank Mill and many more. Will definitely return in the future.
Thank you so much for your feedback and we will pass on your comments regarding the grounds to our gardeners. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

Thanks you for your feedback. It was lovely to meet you and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to seeing you again soon! Property Owner

"We loved our recent stay at South Tower Cottage."
Upon arrival it was spotlessly clean, and we found it to be very spacious. It was the perfect base for us to explore Cheshire for a few days, we didn’t get chance to walk around the grounds due to weather and time constraints but this just means we will have to visit again. As others have stated, the welcome tray was a bit lacklustre, a cafetière with nothing provided to be able to use it, and a new toilet seat is needed for the top bathroom. I would’ve found it useful as well to have access to a hoover and been provided with a dishcloth but this does not put me off wanting to return again.

"Gorgeous grounds with this property, bed in top bedroom needs a new mattress, and a new toilet seat I'm the loo!"
We love it at Capesthorne Hall! But we'd prefer one with less stairs! The South Tower was the only one we could book for the dates we wanted to go!
Thank you for your feedback. We will look at the points you have raised. Property Owner

"Lovely stay, the tower has everything you need and the grounds are great to walk around."
Only criticism would be to make sure the little things are there ie: salt in the salt pot, dishcloth and more than one toilet roll for a 5 night stay.
Hi Dianna, Thank you so much for your feedback. We have noted your comments and will ensure these are in place in the future. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"A cottage befitting of its location in the grounds of a stately home with beautiful soft furnishings, relaxing bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms."
Lovely views from all windows of the surrounding estate, and although we didn't use it, it was good to have a private garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the cottage which was well located to access the surrounding area. The only negative was the welcome tray which, laid out with water bottles, sachets of coffee (and a cafetiere?), 1 tea bag, little pots of milk, and two pack biscuits was more like a hotel room tray and not in keeping with the quality of the cottage. It compared badly to the treats, usually locally produced, that owners have left out to welcome us to other cottages we have stayed in. Obviously this didn't spoil our stay but given the attention to detail in the furnishing of the property and the stunning location it was somewhat disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback, which is appreciated. We have noted your comments on the welcome tray and hope to welcome you back here again in the future. Property Owner

"Beautiful accomodation I fantastic surroundings."
Perfect really. Steep stairs but it is a tower. Will recommend for sure. Capesthorne is a wonderful estate. Walks in grounds were an added bonus. Thank you.

"Absolutely beautiful place to stay."
We had an amazing time. Accommodation was fantastIc and the Hall and grounds were great to spend the day walking around. The beds were so amazingly comfy and loved the little garden. One minor thing was no soap/shower gel but that’s was a very minor thing over the course of a fabulous weekend. Thank you so much.

"Loved the house."
It was so comfortable and quiet. The grounds were lovely. We don’t know what it would be like if there were a wedding on - it would probably be a bit noisy, but for us it was perfect.

"What a lovely place to relax."
Great facilities, nice and modern and very comfortable. Shops are not too far away. It was nice to walk through the gardens. Would definitely recommend to others.

"We had a lovely stay at South Tower Cottage."
The house is even nicer than it looks in the photos! It is huge with two bedrooms, bathrooms, separate living and dining rooms and a kitchen. Everything was clean and very comfortable. It was great to have the grounds to explore (the house is only open to the public on Sunday and Monday). Highly recommended. One minor warning for guests is to be alert when driving on the long driveway; there were a couple of rather fast drivers who preferred to overtake on the grass rather than use the passing places.
Your feedback is appreciated, thank you. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"What a delightful place to stay, we came because we needed a rest and it was the perfect setting."
Our accommodation was beautifully furnished and very clean, with gorgeous views of the grounds and old chapel. Enjoyed eating outside in our own private garden and also wandering down to the lake in the evening with a glass of wine. Hope it’s not too long before we can come back again!
Thank you for your feedback which is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

"The location was outstanding with beautiful walks and interesting places to visit."
The cottage was well presented with very comfortable rooms. The beds and duvets provided a really luxurious sleep. We would certainly like to visit again.

"This property was immaculately clean with lovely views of the grounds of Capesthorne Hall from all the windows."
It is ideal for 2 couples staying as the two bedrooms are on different floors and both have their own bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, only missing a washing machine, although we would have appreciated better quality pans. There was a small welcome pack of coffee and tea, biscuits, water and a bottle of prosecco. Washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets were also provided. The location was very peaceful as the grounds are only open to the public 2 afternoons a week, we enjoyed lovely quiet walks and runs through the grounds, around the lake and through the woods. The Hall itself is well worth a visit on the afternoons that it is open to the public. We had a very enjoyable week here and can absolutely recommend.
Thank you. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Excellent cottage, would thoroughly recommend staying there."
Very comfortable, beds, lovely thick fluffy towels, spacious, wonderful gardens to enjoy.

"What a wonderful location, for us."
You do have to travel to do anything; but as this location was close to family, it was awesome. Plenty of living space for a 2 bed facility Lots of outside space for the children to roam, safely and explore. Would have no problems in highly recommending this accommodation.

"Probably the fridge should have a freezer compartment."
Also warn older clients that the stairs are quite steep.
Dear Shirley, thank you for your feedback. We have now purchased a small worktop freezer for South Tower cottage and will ask Sykes to amend the description to mention the steep stairs. I do hope you get the chance to stay with us again. Property Owner

"Luxurious, spacious and stylish accommodation."
Very clean and comfortable. Lovely surroundings with great walks.

"We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the cottage in the grounds of Capesthorne Hall."
This was where we married in 2006 and we loved going back to visit. Great location, short drive from nearest town and the grounds are beautiful, perfect for kids to run around or romantic walks in the woods and around the lake. The cottage has everything you need, very well equipped kitchen and generally throughout. The decor is lovely, clearly a lot of thought went into the design of each room and it is stylish but very comfortable also. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The cottage was spotless and everything was super clean, clearly important at the present time. We will definitely be going back to stay here!

"After a terrible trip with motorway delays it was great to finally arrive at South Tower to such lovely accommodation."
All info emailed in advance re how to get into the Hall grounds. Lovely dining room and lounge, kitchen has everything you need with views over the grass towards the lake. Lovely small private garden. Great bedrooms and bathrooms. I would say there’s alot of stairs in the property in case people struggle or have small children. My parents stayed at the lakeside cottage, smaller living space , no views and next to the bigger property for 12 so not ideal if that’s booked as likely to be noisy. Nice to mooch around the grounds and woodland area too. They were filming an advert in the grounds during our stay.m for one day. We were given prior notice and left some Prosecco on our doorstep as it over ran. Nice touch. South tower was a great base for us and we would stay there again.
