• "The whole family had a great break we'd stayed at the property before so we knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed."

  The only downside was the British summer but we still enjoyed the garden and the grandchildren couldn't keep out of the hot tub.

• "We stayed at High Legh for a week from Friday 5th July and my complaint mainly concerns what we found on arrival although, for completeness, I have added some other hopefully helpful comments at the end of this note."

  This was our second visit – the first being two and a half years ago. Knowing the property, my wife and I arrived before the rest of our party as we needed to get the house ready for a special birthday celebration. The rooms were very clean with many things as before but there was a significant problem with the freezer in the kitchen. We had brought food with us which we needed to quickly freeze after our journey. However the freezer was unusable because of dirty solidified ice and huge bags of ice cubes welded to the shelves and compartments. My wife had to semi defrost the freezer rather than complete more urgent tasks in order to get any of our food into the freezer. This took her over of 3 hours during which time the rest of the family arrived including four grandchildren, all 5 or under. The freezer had not been inspected for some time as the build-up of ice and a broken flap to the bottom compartment hadn’t just happened recently. The only solution is probably for the owners to buy a new self-defrosting freezer or for the cleaning staff to defrost the current freezer in the 5 hour window they have between visitors but taht may not be feasible. This was our main complaint about the property this time, but it has to be said although we tried both the mobile number provided by the owner plus a Sykes contact number that evening, neither produced a reply. The information left for visitors is insufficient or inaccurate with too much included about another property abroad rather than helping someone navigate and feel at ease in High Legh. That was unhelpful but I need to mention to you that the quality of various things had noticeably deteriorated since we first visited when we felt like we were like the very first visitors. Back in 2021 it was immaculate and so smart. Sadly, I guess other visitors don’t treat the possessions of others as we do – we always respect a holiday let as we would our own home. For your (and the owners) information a few things we noticed during the week that certainly need remedial action/attention are • Our grandchildren aged 2-5 were at risk of being badly stung by nettles in retrieving balls from behind the basketball hoop etc. For families this is unacceptable and needs addressing immediately. • The foot of the garden table at the bottom of the garden has rusted away making it quite unstable. • The boules court needs a good weed - it looks very tatty and not liek the pictures. • The edge of the cover to the hot tub is ripped in places where people haven’t folded it back with care and in the right way • One settee in the lounge has a broken leg plus the legs of the various drinks tables are very wonky. We actually feel rather sorry for the owners as a fantastic property is now showing signs of aging and misuse by visitors but frankly they need to think about reinvesting in it to restore it to its former glory.

  Thank you very much for this feedback. You have highlighted a few helpful things that we have already or will be rectifying as time allows between lets. (FYI we tend to do a full maintenance update during the winter months when there are some gaps in the letting schedule). We hope that despite the freezer being iced up that you managed to enjoy your second visit to Legh Oaks and we'll see you again in the future. Thank you again and best wishes. Property Owner

  Comfort, luxury, peace and quiet and plenty of social space. Couldn’t fault it. Have already recommended it to some other people I know. We would definitely return.

• "We have had an absolutely fantastic few days at Legh Oaks farm."

  The whole house was warm and inviting as we arrived and was spotlessly clean. It was a definite wow factor as we walked in. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the fact that they all had access to a bathroom was a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and a great space for family meals. The hot tub was clean and ready to use on arrival. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family. However there were a few things that we noticed straight away, that need addressing for future visitors which they probably already know about, otherwise we would have given it 5 stars. We realise that it’s very popular and that there might not have been time to keep up with small maintenance jobs in between rentals. The microwave door cover kept popping up , it just needs some strong glue, we had to put a few strips of tape on it. There were no kitchen scissors, thats about the only utensil missing. The freezer had draw doors either missing or broken. The flush button in the downstairs bathroom was loose. The small tables in the living room were very unstable. The wicker garden set had no parasol and two of the chairs were unsafe as the seats had worn through. It is worth mentioning that none of the above affected how much we enjoyed your property.These are all things that can easily be put right but needed mentioning, as you have a wonderful property that can be worthy of 5 stars in the future.

• "Great place for a group of friends to meet up."

  All 50+ but still enjoyed a good kitchen disco and dance floor in the hall. Close to knutsford for a mooch out and supermarket visit even though we had a delivery to the house! Kitchen is fabulous. Under floor heating is amazing. Everything you need is in the house including towels for the hot tub. The only feedback we could suggest was maybe a table near the hot tub as everyone loved getting a selfie on their mobile in the hot tub but it was hard to leave 6 phones on the steps and get out safely but maybe that’s just because we like to look like we are living the high life when we go away! We loved it so much we rebooked it on the day we came home for next year.

• "House was wonderful."

  Clean and luxurious. Beds and pillows very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. The only slight inconvenience was that there was 1 dishwasher tablet, tiny bit of washing up liquid and no cloth or sponge to wash up so we had to dash to the shop. Also no salt which I would have expected. Also bins outside were full so had nowhere to put our rubbish or recycling . Other than these small things. We had a fab stay in wonderful surroundings. Highly recommend.

  There was plenty of space for 6 of us plus a dog.

Arrival necessities such as coffee etc bin bags dishwasher tablets were all supplied.The log burner was an added bonus for us. Loved it !There were enough logs supplied for one fire but readily available at the garden centre nearby.The hot tub was awesome but we had to refill by saucepans as the hose was taped up.(not too much of a problem though) Plastic attire such as plates glasses etc are not supplied for garden use.Could be very useful if they were for safety reasons.We had an amazing time and the Christmas tree was beautiful.Thank you for letting us into your home.It felt extremely special and homely !

• "This must be the most awesome property we’ve ever stayed at."

  As soon as we walked through the front doors we were all gobsmacked as to its size, amenities, cleanliness and the fact we all had spacious beautiful bedrooms with an en suite to each of them. To have our own spacious lounge to relax in comfort as adults with a wood burner, whilst the children watched their own programmed on the tv in the cinema room. The kitchen area was to die for. It was huge and well equipped with fridges and freezer, dishwasher and an amazing cooker, oven, hob and extractor fan. The massive table and chairs accommodated the nine of us easily for meals in comfort. Just off the hallway in an enclosed space was a sink, and bar area with yet another fridge for the alcohol. The enclosed garden area was ideal, safe and spacious for our little dog and the children with a basketball hoop and the awesome hot tub. I enjoyed my early morning coffee on one of the two patio areas every morning being visited by a beautiful pheasant. All in all none of us have any qualms in highly recommending this property to others as we all said we’d like to make a return trip there in the future. The only issue we have is that we couldn’t stay longer.

  It was obvious, and reassuring, that the owners had noted the comments in previous reviews as there was plenty of new crockery and handwash in each bathroom. It was only our first impression that fell below the 5 star rating - nettles and weeds all around the games area, a cheap, very stained tea towel, a nasty smell from the hall cupboard (a dirty mop), and no welcome pack (so unusual these days....not even milk!). However, we quickly managed these and would be happy to return.

  This house is a fantastic place for all the family to get together. Plenty of space and very well kitted out. The kitchen and dining area is absolutely fantastic, the whole house is beautifully decorated and clean, everyone slept comfortably in the beds, the garden is a fantastic size and the hot tub was fab. My only minor point is that quite a lot of the crockery and mugs are badly chipped and in need of replacement and there was a lack of hand wash in all the bathrooms. However this did not deter from us having had a fabulous weekend here.

• "We had an amazing relaxing time."

  The place was stunning. Fantastic attention to detail on the decor. Having read the previous reviews the owners really seemed to have taken on board and resolved issues that had been raised before. It was my husbands 60th during the break, a handful of family members joined us for a couple of nights and they too were blown away by the cottage. The only tiny picky suggestion for improvement would be we couldn’t find a hairdryer. Other than that a big well done on the place. We definitely hope to return.

• "Lovely big property which worked great with different parts of the family."

  Clean on arrival. Helpful when smoke alarm in kitchen went off! (way too near hob!) for the price missing a few finishing touches: for example, one bin bag, one tea towels, no hand-towels for communal bathrooms, no welcome basket, information booklet was very limited on local area and washing machine mouldy. Minor points, but only takes a little to be 100% perfect. That said we got separate hot tubs towels and hand wash in the bathrooms which were great!!!

  The only downfall was cleanliness, the cutlery, dishes, pans, place mats were all dirty. When we came to use they had all been put away in draws but was dirty didn't look like they had been washed, so we had to clean everything... So it couldn't have been checked by a cleaner. Also the wooden garden furniture is very worn, we didn't actually sit on it, as didnt look too safe to use. But the other garden furniture was fine. Property itself is lovely, plenty of space, and the hot tub was great!
