Next door is a spacious bedroom with a super kingsize bed and an elegant oak desk. The impressive underfloor heated kitchen/diner is based around a quartz top centre island and is a foodie’s dream.

The luxurious two-bedroom cottage was newly converted in 2023 and sleeps four guests in two double bedrooms. Finished to a high specification throughout, it includes a luxury bathroom with walk-in shower. The showroom kitchen is fully equipped making it completely self-contained; it’s modern, elegant, and comfortable.

We were a multi generational family group and we had a fabulous week together at Brackenwood. We would highly recommend.

A beautiful house in a lovely setting. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 12 staying. The living room was comfortable and the log burner made it extra cosy in the cold evenings. The kitchen was big and light and allowed space for everyone to sit all together. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfy with plenty of en-suites which are very handy. The hot tub was a perfect addition to our stay, I would love to come back in the summer to make full use of the gardens and bi-fold doors in the dining room out into the garden.

Brackenwood is a charming property, ideal for large family groups, we were a multigenerational group ages 9-85. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and a good selection of self catering equipment available. The location was excellent being close to local beaches and easy access to visit Chester Zoo, Cheshire Oaks and of course Liverpool. My personal highlight was a visit to PortSunlight. Overall we had a lovely week together catching up as a family. Many thanks to Julie the housekeeper who made us feel welcome and was available to answer our queries.
