We two and our small dog really enjoyed our stay. Lodge was spotlessly clean and well equipped. It's main attraction is the proximity to lovely Kelsall. A fabulous village, within 5 minute walk good shops and pubs and easy walking from the door into the countryside around. Hourly bus service from end of lane to Chester too.
