  We recently stayed at this lovely property with a group of 10 people, and it exceeded our expectations in so many ways.

  Despite our large group, the property was incredibly spacious, allowing everyone to spread out and have their own space. The property was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere, and the beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep for everyone. We particularly loved the big garden - although none of us are into fishing, it was still wonderful being next to the water. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook for the group. The wine cooler was a fantastic bonus! One of the highlights was the little cafe just a short 20-step walk from the garden gate, which was handy for breakfast and hot drinks. We appreciated there being a couple of televisions, which gave us some entertainment options during downtime. The outdoor seating area was nice (it would be even better if there were BBQ facilities available). Parking was very convenient and sufficient for the 10 of us who arrived in 5 cars. The area itself seemed lovely and picturesque, with some pubs nearby that we enjoyed visiting. The staff on the site were absolutely lovely, providing a personal touch to our stay by regularly checking in to ensure everything was okay and asking if we needed anything. It was a really personable service, which made our stay feel special. Access to the pool on site was a huge plus, and everyone in our group enjoyed it thoroughly. **Suggestions:** For future guests, I would recommend doing a bit of a food shop before arriving, as there didn't seem to be many supermarkets nearby unless you're willing to travel to Wrexham or Chester. With 10 of us, we found that the provided three rolls of toilet paper were not sufficient, though the staff at reception were very helpful and promptly provided us with more when we asked. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property to others. Many thanks!

  Beautiful Cheshire Home .

  Stunning home and surroundings, we booked here so we could meet up with our older children who are at University. Perfect location , perfect sized home for us all, 9 of us. Very spacious, having the 2 living rooms was great for the younger children ** I do feel a DVD player or having Netflix could be an added bonus. ** A music centre or a Bluetooth speaker would be great to have too. All the bedrooms looked beautiful and very comfortable, I've actually come home and bought Fogarty Duvets ECT, really comfy bed in the main bedroom. Children all loved their rooms. The games room was used alot by everyone and they enjoyed this. Having the washing machine and dryer was a godsend. The kitchen had everything you could think of, well at least what I could think of! Shane the arga wasn't in use as we wanted to make a big roast dinner. The 2 hobs just isn't enough, although we found an electric steamer, this was pretty useless. ** Please provided a tiered steamer you can pop on the hob. Please provide better cleaning products and a long handled broom. Although I've added a few not major negatives, I would certainly book again. This really is a beautiful home and very relaxing. I was that relaxed I felt so much at home I didn't want to leave. **** In the little courtyard where the table and chairs are, you really need a Hot tub here! Thank you for a lovely Stay :-)

  Hello Property is ideal for gatherings, however it is looking tired, the carpet is stained upstairs and we had to clean the kitchen cupboards inside as clearly hadn't been cleaned.

  (photos available if required). Downstairs rooms really lovely and spacious. Kitchen has everything visitors need very well equipped. Upstairs bedrooms comfortable, en suite again looking tired. Generally a perfect property for gatherings, however there are some things we weren't made aware of which would be helpful to potential visitors. a) twice per day a buggy appears and is parked in the garage b) we arrived at 4pm Friday, and had to clean the inside of kitchen cupboards c) at approximately 12/12.30 on the Saturday, the gardeners appeared to cut the lawns d) at approximately 8.30am on Monday (check out is 10am), the gardeners were back to assess the lawns. Visitors should be made aware in advance that the property is not private and for their sole use. We couldn't understand why when check out is 10am and check-in is 4pm, why all the jobs could not be completed within that time frame, especially as the weather had been so beautiful. We had booked the property Fri - Mon and had made the owners aware we were having afternoon tea at 3pm on the Saturday for a number of guests to celebrate an 80th birthday, so having the grass freshly cut, it was inevitable that grass would be brought in to the property. We did have an amazing weekend, the weather and location are perfect.

  I do hope that the owner reads this review as it is meant as objective feedback.

  The house is spacious, large kitchen, private parking and free use of the pool. Unfortunately there were some problems. Ant infestation in the Sun Room which we presume is not new as container of Ant Powder under the sink. We vacuumed them up on the day of arrival and applied more powder. Some crockery and pans put away still dirty and not checked by cleaners. Poor selection of utensils, no slotted spoon, the fish slice was useless, no measuring jug, flimsy colander, the kitchen inventory needs checking. Lots of cocktail equipment for the folks that are celebrating. AGA off in the summer so you only have an excellent Neff double oven and 2 ceramic rings. It does make it tricky to cook a meal and you need to plan around this inconvenience. Double bed in the master bedroom is past its best, springs are very obvious. My husband tried the double bed downstairs as he was very uncomfortable but unfortunately this room doesn't have a window that opens to the outside as it leads into the Sun Room. Looks like new carpet in the Master Room. It would be really helpful to dog owners if the vacuum was upgraded to one that is designed for pet hair so that the lounge could be vacuumed thoroughly before check out .

  Manor Wood is a lovely property in a great location.

  Our family held their annual get together there this weekend and everyone loved it. The layout is excellent with a comfortable seating area in the conservatory leading to the dining space and then the kitchen so those preparing meals were still part of the group. Loads of space to sit everyone down comfortably. Drives me mad when a house for 10 only seats part of the group in a room or at the table. Manor wood had plenty of space for us all. Excellent cooking facilities with 2 ovens, the hob and an extra electric plug in hob to make up for the main small 2 ring hob. Some empty cupboard space in kitchen for your own provisions, again not something everywhere thinks of. Beds were comfortable with good quality linen. No huge list of rules, genuinely relaxing. Friendly wardens at the caravan site next door. The caravan site in no way takes away from the property which is private and enjoys a fabulous view over a fishing lake. Plenty of parking. We enjoyed a lovely day in Chester. Plenty of walks nearby. One of our favourite properties we'd say.
