My friend and I stayed for 4 nights at the end of May and would highly recommend this property. The check in and check out process was very easy and the owners are very quick to respond to enquiries and very helpful. The cottage itself has plenty of room for 4 people and is bigger in person than the photo's make it look. The surrounding area is lovely... the Badger Inn in Nantwich and Minshull's garden centre are well worth visiting.

The barn was excellent, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The traffic was heavy whenever we set off for visits, due in part to many road closures!
