  What an amazing place to stay!

  There are four cottages at Lower Farm Cottages to choose from of varying sizes. We booked one of the smaller one bedroom cottages called “The Dairy” it was very spacious had a luxury super king size bed but it could be split into a twin and even had a Hot Tub as well! The cottage was lovely and clean and everything you could need was supplied such as beds made up on arrival, towels & tea-towels provided. Basket of essentials such as teabags, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, milk, biscuits and even a bottle of Prosecco to enjoy…… It’s set in peaceful countryside and you can hear the birds chirping around you. The Cottages are owned by Matt and his family and they live just next door. Matt made us feel very welcome and he was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is within a few minutes drive of lots of attractions such as Ice Cream Farm, Blue Planet Aquarium, New Brighton Beach, BeWildered and Chester its self or further afield to Liverpool or into Wales plus many more places. There’s also lots to do at the cottage like visiting the animals, watching the wildlife cams on the cottage tv of the birds on the feeders, the resident barn owls and more.There is also a sculpture trail/display in the orchard that guests can exclusively visit and enjoy, it tells a story of life at Lower Farm Cottages and the family the family’s dog Fudge. The trail is based on a book that has been written by the family’s friends and has now been published to raise donations for Alder Hey Hospital. We will be returning very soon and this will now be our place to get away and de-stress. Well Done Matt & Rachel all involved the cottages and the surroundings are lovely and a credit to you all and it’s a big 10/10 from us

  We stayed here whilst we were waiting our house sale to go through and we are so pleased we made the choice to stay here.

  Firstly the owners are really lovely genuine people who will do anything for you. I did not ask them for much as to be honest there was nothing we needed yet the young man owner who I would see regular on the farm and he was such a pleasant man and there were two men in fact who were both very nice. The accomodation was absolutely beautiful and had the very best quality furnishings from bed linen to toilet brushes everything was quality. The whole experience was fabulous for me as I've just left East Sussex where I was a Radiology Nurse and the last two years have been dreadful therefore to be at these cottages to truly relax in awesome surroundings away from hospitals and patients and Covid was just amazing. I was initially worried about my partner as he is slightly infirm being 88 years however it was perfect for him. I didn't use the jacuzzi as its not my thing however all these little quality touches made the place special. It is a spectacular hideaway in a truly awesome setting. Although I'm moving to a new home here I'd love to come back stay a night or two late Summer. Thank you to the owners and the young man who Is one of the owners,you have a really lovely well thought out amazing place. I hope to come back again just for an odd day or two. Kind regards Michael

  Mixed feelings about this cottage.

  It is well placed for visiting the local area and in a quiet location. The outside space is lovely and on a sunny evening you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. However I feel the cleanliness could be improved, especially considering what we have learned from COVID. I am not a clean freak by any stretch of the imagination but for my own peace of mind found the need to clean work surfaces, kitchen cupboard handles, light switches. Towels and tea towels didn't smell fresh and bedding was stained. I appreciate it can be difficult to keep a shower cubicle clean but the grout and sealant were mouldy. A lot of surfaces were also covered in dust. These things would be remedied if cleaned between guests. It felt as if the bare minimum was done before the next guest arrived. All things considered it would probably mean I wouldn't return.

  Wonderful relaxing stay at a beautiful cottage.

  Ideally situated and ideal for my wife and me. Had a great 4 day break being able to relax and recharge after a hectic year. The cottage was all lit up and the heating on when we arrived along with a complimentary bottle of bubbly. A really nice surprise. We met the owner a day or so later, she was really friendly and checked if everything was in order. The patio area is quite large and leading down the garden there is a lovely platform seating area with a stream running passed. Also the view includes some Lama/Alpacas ( not being experts we could not make our minds which model they are. We are considering returning in the summer time if only to sit on the platform deck in the evening with a glass of wine ( or maybe two) Thank you for giving us a lovely time.

  Fabulous cute ottage.

  Immaculate. Lovely grounds. Perfectly central and closw to Chester City, Zoo, Cheshire Oaks, Park & Rides and other places. Loved the link to view the hosts animals on the tele. (Sad we left before knowing if Mummy Llama managed to feed/bond with her baby) Only one very minor point. Hot tub off at 10pm is far too early for tourists on holiday. By the time you get back from activities and feed it leaves no time to enjoy. Stay in lots of hot tub places (reason we pay more for a tub) and never known this very early cut off time). We would still recommend and wish to come back with friends if the hot tub time is expanded. If you are not bothered about the hot tub it is a perfect setting.
