Approximately 3 miles from Tarporley and 12 miles southeast of Chester is the community of Bunbury, which is located at the western border of the Cheshire Plain. Although little is known about its history before the Norman conquest, it is generally agreed that the name is Saxon in origin. It is also believed that the current parish church's location was the location of a Christian place of worship well before 1066. Early accounts of the village refer to it as Bunan byrig, the Buna stronghold. Today's village is home to a supermarket, three pubs and the stunning St Boniface Church, which is registered as a Grade I listed building on England's National Heritage List. The well-known market town of Nantwich is eight miles away. It hosts regular markets every week and a monthly farmer's market that features the best local produce. There are also numerous events held there throughout the year, such as the Jazz and Blues Music Festival at Easter and the renowned Cheese Awards in July. The mediaeval, walled city of Chester is located farther away and is home to a variety of independent stores and warm restaurants that can satisfy any appetite. From Bunbury, create memories in the North West.

The heating was on and the place was well equipped with wonderful views all around. We even saw the Arrora iout to the north in the dark sky. Just a few nigglesâ¦. Some beds did not have mattress covers on !!!!! Bath mats would have been useful both in and outside of the baths and a note about where to place the garbage when they were full.

However, some things are begining to look a bit tired, and in need of updating. The oven was dirty on arrival and looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, so it was unusable. The kitchen sink and hob were also dirty, which we had to clean before we could use them. A deep clean is needed in all the shower rooms, grouting, sealant, showerheads and toilets are all stained. The bed linen is looking tired and well used and needs updating. The garden is a good size and dog friendly, but not dog proof, one of the resident dogs came in under the gate and attacked and bit our dog, which unnerved him for the rest of our stay. A curtain or privacy screen is needed on the back door, especially as a bathroom is opposite it. No outside bins for rubbish were provided or for recycling, (we took our recycling home with us).

We thought it was excellent value for money, set in an area with lots of good walks, interesting churches - Malpas and Nantwich in particular - and other gardens and properties worth visiting. The house is very well equipped, generously heated and attractively furnished with lots of space. The beds were comfortable and all the bathrooms were well appointed. We were grateful for the farm's generator when bad weather caused a brief interruption to the mains electricity supply so thanks to the owners for their prompt assistance. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property but the owners may care to consider a couple of suggestions. There were instruction books for all the kitchen and other equipment but it might be useful to have a folder with general information about recycling policies, rubbish collection, and other useful contacts - doctors, dentists etc - and perhaps leaflets about local attractions. It would certainly be fascinating to have information about the property itself, with its historical connections (do walk across the grassy bank to see the old chapel).It might also be worth thinking about supplying an extra fridge, particularly for summer lets, though the wine cooler was very welcome (and we made good use of it). A splendid reunion in a very pleasant property.
