Clean, comfortable accommodation with all we needed for a perfect stay for the two of us with our little dog. Great welcome pack and very helpful information supplied by the owner. Location was perfect for visiting Chester, Shrewsbury, Liverpool and lots of beautiful local villages. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will be staying there again.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable. We slept well in the comfy bed. Malpas was a lovely village to explore. Parking wasn't a problem for us down the road. Thankyou

Only gripe was the size of the back yard,- which was too small for my two dogs,- looked bigger on the photos!
