  We had a lovely week in this very comfortable home in a beautiful little cobbled street.

  Hoole has a great little deli plus everything you need on your doorstep. Chester delighted us. The dog had a choice of the back courtyard or the front lawned garden. We had comfortable beds, a homely lounge and a dining room with comfortable dining chairs. Comfort for everyone! Although there were builders working in the house next door, they were extremely considerate and friendly, did not make any noise that we heard until well after we were up and about and did not work into the evening. They did not disturb us at all. The only suggestions we could make for improvements were that although the back sitting room was completely private, we would have preferred curtains on the patio doors just to complete the homely feel and it was a shame the light didn’t work in the back courtyard garden. We had no idea how to use the TV (Chromecast?) but we managed to plug the ordinary aerial back in and use it in the old-fashioned way - I guess that’s our age! Some serving dishes and a measuring jug would also have been useful. These were minor things though, and we were very happy with our stay here.

  Fantastic cottage !

  Everything about the place is perfect, absolutely no negative points. We found the property to be perfectly clean and all fixtures and fittings were lovely. Everything you need is available and the cottage was so welcoming and cosy to provide the ideal place to relax. The owner Matt and his family were very helpful and immediately made us feel at home. Beds were comfortable and and relaxing and the quality of the bedding and towels was absolutely first class. The hot tub in the garden was ideal and well used by all our family. Fantastic weather over the full week we stayed so the picnic table in the garden was perfect for sitting in the evening sun ! The cottage is in a brilliant location with the Cheshire Oaks and Chester Zoo only minutes away. Lots of other fabulous attractions within an hour’s drive so there is something to suit all tastes I could continue for ages with superlatives but suffice to say the Shippon is the perfect place to stay and enjoy a wonderful holiday ! Thanks again to Matt for letting us stay there and best wishes for the family in future.

  Dearest Charles and Family, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us.

  We feel truly blessed to have stayed in such a wonderful magical house. Every little thing was magic...the woodburner, the comfy beds, the sumptuous sofa!!!! The fantastic kitchen with every utensil imaginable. It couldn't have come at such a special time for us. I lived in Chester for many years and went to Chester College to study art. Many years later I finally settled in London after Uni. I came last week home to visit my family (my mum is very poorly) and its the first time I have hired a place to stay. It was such a blessing to have a place to yourself and not be a burden to the family. We completely forgot to fill in the visitor book...however I did the Sykes questionaire this morning. I would probably have filled in the whole book with how wonderful your place is. If I could buy a house right now...I would buy your house with everything in it and never leave it hahahaha. Best wishes to you and your family Charles, and thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

  What a lovely second holiday to 2 Ashby place.

  The owners were extremely accommodating due to our circumstances and we really looked forward to our stay. It was clean upon arrival and the location is just perfect for us - opposite a small supermarket, a 3 minute walk into Hoole town with some charity shops, bakery, butchers etc and about a 20 minute walk into Chester or a short drive depending on how much shopping you are planning to do. Also well positioned for Cheshire Oaks. The property has tons and tons of room with a large kitchen and range style cooker, front and back gardens for doggies, two toilets, a lovely bath (I may have enjoyed 3 on our stay) and a parking space. Absolutely love this place and loved visiting in winter this time to use the log burner. We have seen improvements and changes made since our last visit and just love this place. I've already been looking at dates we might be able to go back later this year. Thank you!

  Large, quaint property in good location.

  The double bed and seating in the lounge was fairy uncomfortable for us. The cleanliness let the property down e.g. not vacuumed in some areas, visibly dirty switches, walls and kitchen cupboards, dust and cobwebs on the light fittings. We complained to the owner and cleaners called us and then came in and cleaned the areas that we discussed over the phone. We were contacted by the cleaner and asked if ok we said yes as we didn't want anyone else coming in to the property due to the current situation. The property should have been re-inspected and had a thorough clean, as if these basic things are missed what else was there that we couldn't see. This caused stress/worry due to the current covid 19 situation and really spoilt what could have been a lovely break.
