Set in the Cheshire countryside in Picton, not far from the homely suburb of Upton-by-Chester is this delightful ground-floor cottage, The Shippon. Set between its neighbours on either side, it is a perfect spot for a country getaway with your loved ones and friends. Begin by coming into the social hub of the property, the open-plan living space, head left and sink into the corner sofa before the Smart TV, a great spot to wind down in at the end of the day. Move across to the kitchen where you'll be preparing picnics for walks out in nearby nature, or cooking an evening meal for the group to be served up on the wooden dining table. Use this space for gathering round to plan the rest of your trip, or spread out with a board game. To either side of the living space are the two super-king-size bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite bathrooms and zip/link beds, so you can request for them to be twin rooms instead, great for accommodating different party setups. Expect to find exposed brick walls and wooden ceiling beams throughout, as well as bespoke features like the rope light fitting feature. Relax out in the hot tub in the front enclosed courtyard, it can't get better that this! Enjoy the surrounding countryside for walks, or take a trip into the Roman city of Chester for some sightseeing. Note: This property is part of a group and can be booked with Refs. 974556, 974560, 974561, together sleeping 12 guests.
