Clean, cozy and clean accommodation. Loved the wood burning stove, and access to the Tatton Park attractions. Would definitely stay here again.

I have to say this varied from day to day and we ended up suffering around 50% of the week. Part of the problem has to be the single glazed windows having no soundproofing value. It's certainly great having access to the Park and there's loads to see and do within 30mins drive in all directions. Especially if you are into nature reserves and gardens. Overall we really liked the layout of tthe cottage and found it very well equipped.

The property was in an excellent state when we arrived and it is kitted out with everything that you could want.the welcome pack was perfect and , as usual, the area (park and farm) provided a wonderful environment for any spare time that we had (after visiting friends and family). The heating did fail one morning but within a very short time (about an hour) a man with a van turned up and it was fixed. Thank you again, see you all again at Christmas time.
