Lovely cottage close to essential amenities, most within walking distance. Cottage has many dog walking tracks leading from the house. The property is dog friendly with easy wash floors for those foot and paw prints after woodland walking. There is an enclosed area directly at the back door which is dog safe, although some small and teacup size dogs could get through the wooden slatted gates, and a handy external hosepipe. On arrival, there was a fabulous lemon drizzle cake and a bottle of wine awaiting us, but I would have willingly paid extra to find a pint of milk in the fridge, rather than having to go out again after a long tiring drive. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens up a private drive. The owners kindly contacted us before we arrived, as they live in the house within the same grounds, which was a nice touch. We would highly recommend. A great base, close to Chester, and we used the train to visit Liverpool from the station in Buckley.
