  On our arrival we found Chapel Cottage to be very clean & well presented & the wide off road parking was a bonus over many cottages we have hired in the past.

  We didnt need to contact the owners during the week as everything worked as it should. Bunbury is a lovely friendly village with interesting old buildings, especially upper Bunbury. Chapel cottage is in a good location but the main road that passes the end of the cottage is quite busy. We made good use of the friendly Co-Op & the Nags Head pub but found the Dysart a bit pretentious IMO, £9.35 for a pint & a coke. Probably priced to keep the rif-raf away, it certainly worked as we didnt go back. The village chippy has a good reputation but was sadly closed whilst we were there. The gardens were well tended & the back patio area was a lovely suntrap but could be a bit noisy from the road traffic & people stopping to talk just over the hedge but it was quite interesting listening to the local gossip. We made lots of use of the lovely kitchen but it could do with some extra basic utensils such as plastic spoons & masher etc. Lovely downstairs bathroom with good bath & shower but the shiny floor tiles were a bit slippery when wet & would benefit from a proper bath mat, the upstairs WC was quite novel & felt a bit like going to the loo in a cupboard. The cottage is advertised as a two bedroom suitable for 4 people & has dining seating for six, it has a double bed in one bedroom & two singles in the other but the lounge has only a two seater sofa & a single rocking chair & a dining chair so there wasn`t adequate comfortable seating for four adults. We went as a couple but had made the offer to my son & his wife to visit us at the cottage but on finding that there was insufficient comfortable practical seating we had to sadly withdraw the offer. As I stated in the cottage visitors book another two seater sofa in the lounge would solve the issue & provide comfortable seating to sit & enjoy the big TV & the wood burning stove in the evening. My comments are my personal opinion & meant to be informative & constructive & we would love to return to Chapel cottage if they were taken onboard by the owners.

  We stayed here whilst we were waiting our house sale to go through and we are so pleased we made the choice to stay here.

  Firstly the owners are really lovely genuine people who will do anything for you. I did not ask them for much as to be honest there was nothing we needed yet the young man owner who I would see regular on the farm and he was such a pleasant man and there were two men in fact who were both very nice. The accomodation was absolutely beautiful and had the very best quality furnishings from bed linen to toilet brushes everything was quality. The whole experience was fabulous for me as I've just left East Sussex where I was a Radiology Nurse and the last two years have been dreadful therefore to be at these cottages to truly relax in awesome surroundings away from hospitals and patients and Covid was just amazing. I was initially worried about my partner as he is slightly infirm being 88 years however it was perfect for him. I didn't use the jacuzzi as its not my thing however all these little quality touches made the place special. It is a spectacular hideaway in a truly awesome setting. Although I'm moving to a new home here I'd love to come back stay a night or two late Summer. Thank you to the owners and the young man who Is one of the owners,you have a really lovely well thought out amazing place. I hope to come back again just for an odd day or two. Kind regards Michael

  Beautiful place with gorgeous furniture.

  Easy to find. The ad says ‘ businesses on site’ - i did not expect to be separated from them by standard internal doors- the downstairs one has a window and i could see people standing there chatting- the dog went mad. I could hear every word they were saying, as well as upstairs. So we also felt we had to speak quietly so as not to disturb them. 8 am noise from them did not allow for a quiet lay in. ‘Offices in the building in the adjoining rooms’ would be more accurate. Main back door key very difficult to use especially locking from the outside. Both bathrooms downstairs is a bit of a mission re mobility issues. I didn’t see this very important fact in the ad either. I thought, from the photos that the large grass area was part of the rented property - i chose this property with this in mind for the dog, so was disappointed with the small fake grass area. Ad says ’garden with lawn’ not small area with fake grass. I would not have booked if i had known this.

  We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week in this gorgeous thatched cottage.

  Very well maintained and presented in a tranquil little village. The cottage itself had almost everything we needed. There's a notice asking that guests don't let their pets go upstairs. Thankfully we'd taken a baby gate with us, otherwise I don't know how we'd have managed that. A wooden gate at the bottom of the stairs would be a good addition to the cottage for this reason. The cottage has a large front and back garden which is surrounded by walls and hedges. Whilst the garden is flat and safe for children/dogs, the hedges between the garden and pavement do have some small gaps in them and our dog managed to get through onto the road. Some additional netting/fencing in the hedges would make this more secure. The village had two pubs within a short walking distance of the cottage. Both offered takeaway food if you didn't want to eat in, which was very nice. The local butchers and village chippy were also great, and there's a little co-op for other groceries/essentials.

  The Shippon is a very comfortable property and has everything required for a successful stay.

  It is spotlessly clean, the double bed is extremely comfortable, there is constant hot water and the kitchen is very well-equipped. It was warm during our stay, so we didn’t require heating, but apparently the under-floor heating wasn’t functioning and if it had been cold, that might have been an issue. There is a log burner, but I would imagine most people wouldn’t feel like lighting this after a long journey. The hosts are unobtrusive, so one gets a lot of privacy, but they are on-site and very friendly and approachable, so it is perfectly easy to consult them if anything is needed. The hosts run a coffee shop which we didn’t get the chance of visiting, but reviews are excellent and I’m sure it’s well-worth patronising. Situated in the tranquil Cheshire countryside, the venue is very peaceful, very quiet, but very close to Tarporley which has everything one would need, including good restaurants, pubs, etc. Highly recommended.
