We love the position of the cottage in the grounds of Tatton Park and next to the farm. Unfortunately this year we thought the cottage was in need of maintenance and was not quite as clean as in past stays. This said we would certainly stay again as the positives out weight the negatives stated. A voucher is included for entrance into Tatton Gardens, The Mansion and The Farm. All are worth a visit.

The free pass for 5 for Tatton was very welcome and we used the discount to buy food from the Housekeeper's Store. Highly recommended.
