  Highly recommend!

  Lovely place! Just returned from a 2 night say at The Parlour with 6 family and friends. The parlour is beautiful, very clean, well equipped and the host Paul and Zuzana are really lovely. The house was a perfect space for us to celebrate my cousins 30th birthday, the hot tub is great and the Bluetooth speakers were very easy to connect and worked. (Unlike a lot of places I have visited before where the speakers didn’t work). The view from the hot tub and open plan dining/kitchen is beautiful and can be taken in whilst having a soak, enjoying a morning coffee or whilst dining at the large kitchen table. The mezzanine is a great space to spend that time to relax and unwind after a walk up Helsby hill or just to chill out, it is very cosy. The rooms are brilliant great sizes again well equipped with wardrobes or draws, (only complaint here is it would be handy to have a mirror in the upstairs bedrooms). The beds are very comfy and all 7 of us slept very well. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the space to ensure the guests stay is perfect and works for all guest staying and offers space to socialise together or some time to sit alone reading a book. Whether you are looking for a weekend break with all adults or longer with your children I would highly recommend The Parlour.

  Our stay at The Parlour was nothing short of spectacular.

  Myself and 6 other friends stayed here for a 3 day staycation and it completely exceeded our already high expectations. The house was uniquely designed with an upstairs open plan view of the lower floor, The Parlour is absolutely stunning with a huge outside field with a spacious hot tub (which was cleaned daily), an incredibly comfortable bed, stunning living space with cosy woodburner and a fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the well cleaned bedrooms and bathrooms. The weather was cold during our stay but that just made The Parlour feel like more of a safe haven, with the log fire and underfloor heating and peacefulness of the gated location. The owners Paul and Zuzana have done the most incredible job with this hot tub holiday cottage and are both absolutely lovely, with frequent communication and bottle of Prosecco upon arrival. We were also granted a later check out as some of my friends trains were not until later in the day. There's plenty to entertain nearby but also have the options of board games/ surround sound speakers and multiple other activities, including a pub just across the road. We had an amazing stay, and we can't wait to return already!!

  This was a wonderful place to stay and we hope to be able to return one day.

  The owners were always to be found on the farm and were so welcoming and helpful. Such lovely people. The property is very spacious, clean and comfortable and in a lovely location. There are so many places to visit within a short drive and it is such a peaceful and beautiful spot to return to after a day out. Our two very young grandchildren loved the alpacas and the shetland ponies which they could watch from almost every room in the house and they really miss them now we're back home. A couple of practical things to note: 1) The Sykes Cottages website states that the property has a tumble dryer which is not the case. There is a washing machine and a clothes airer is provided. 2) There was no information about recycling at the property when we arrived and when I discovered later that the local authority has very stringent rules on sorting rubbish I felt bad that the owners were going to have to deal with the mixed rubbish we had left. It would be good to have information in the property about what needs to be separated and where. In this country recycling varies so much from one local authority to the next so it would be good to have some guidance on arrival.

  Our stay at the parlour was above and beyond expectations.

  The cottage is truly beautiful in the perfect location, being just a taxi ride away from Chester itself. I cannot fault the accommodation in any way. We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone with all catering and facilities needed, nothing missing at all. We cooked two full meals and found all the utensils, pots, pans, glasses everything you need. Having researched the location beforehand you don't have to cook if you don't want to, there's a great foodie pub across the road, takeaways and a tesco supermarket 5 minutes drive away. Hot tub was cleaned every day, lovely and warm, easy to use, in a very private location. This is the best large accommodation I have ever stayed at, gorgeous open plan kitchen with great views over the expansive, manicured lawns, comfy beds, quiet location, plenty of fluffy bath towels, great sound system. It's an amazing house, not one of us wanted to leave. As soon as I have an excuse to book again, I will! Thank you so much for making our stay so special and memorable.

  We had a wonderful 18 days stay at Dunsdale Lodge.

  We even had some snow which was exciting for our party of six from Western Australia. The owners were easy to contact and were helpful when needed. Entry to the property was easy with no issues. Instructions were easy to follow. We were a group of three couples so it was nice to have our own rooms and bathrooms. The weather was freezing during our stay but the house was very comfortable and warm. bedding and towels were changed weekly, and it was a bonus to have laundry facilities. We didn’t have a car but there’s plenty of space for a car or two. The garden is nice and big and surrounded by bushes and trees. If you enjoy nature it’s lovely to watch (and listen) to the birds and squirrels in the garden. There are trails and pubs nearby too, Downside: hearing the creaky floors upstairs from downstairs, and the beds were comfy but noisy when you moved around, we think it’s the bases. Wouldn’t put us off staying again though. Very pleasant place with all you need, and more.
