chilled out bank holiday weekend

What an amazing shepherds hut and great host Chris and Sue are on every level ,from the communication from booking to arrival and the welcome and information on arrival it really was faultless. The extra touches take this accommodation to the next level from the provision of breakfast items ,Bath robes and towels for the hot tub and all the provisions for the fire pit (logs and fire lighters)Chris and Sue have missed no details . The standard of fittings and cleanliness was exceptional as is the secluded location totally private but with the added bonus a path to the nearby canal though a field for lovely walks . cannot fault anything with this property and location highly recommended for a totally chilled out break .

What a place!

What a place to stay. Beautiful setting, so peaceful. We had a lovely relaxing bank holiday break. The place is spotless and has so many extras that the owners have thought about. We loved the shepherds hut with the bonus of a hot tub. We went for plenty of walks along the canal. Went to the Dusty Miller pub for a drink as recommended by Chris which was lovely (about a 4km walk along the canal) Nantwich is only a 10 minute drive away. Gas BBQ provided and a fire pit also provided so we had plenty of alfresco dining. Thanks a lot Chris & Sue for a lovely break. Regards Matt & Vicky

Absolute gem, a slice of heaven!

Chris and Sue were brilliant, before we even got there. Great information and we knew exactly what we needed and how to check in. On arrival, we met Chris, who was lovely and really informative and extremely helpful (sincerely so!). We got settled in and were amazed at how exactly as described this place is. It was immaculately clean and presented and we were both delighted. The place is actually better in real life! It is exactly what we needed and we were left to our own devices, truly secluded in our own rural bliss, soaking in the hot tub, eating all fresco all while watching the birds on the feeder (an absolute highlight of our stay), the hovering bird of prey that occasionally came around and listening to the distant sounds of the canal and nearby lock. Your a stones throw from the canal and it is wonderful to walk down (make sure you take walking shoes as it gets a bit muddy) and only 10 minutes drive from Nantwich, which is a lovely market town. Really couldn't fault this break. Absolutely idyllic and Chris and Sue have pretty much thought of everything. Beautiful!

Perfect little place

Perfect location in a very quiet and surprisingly private corner of the owners own land. Perfect for a quiet couples getaway. The hut itself was finished to a very high standard and attention to detail. Very comfortable and warm. If I had to be picky the shower was a little average but not unusable. I would definitely recommend this property. The owners were very welcoming without the need for actual face to face communication (although this was offered on our terms).

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Sue Goodwn

Host profile image
We are a "retired" couple who have made a lifestyle decision to step down from the corporate ladder to have the time to enjoy the lovely home we have created for ourselves in the countryside - while we have relative youth on our side!
Both of us are very active around our 2-acre property and love to walk with our 2 dogs and go cycling. We have a great social life with many good friends living between Nantwich and Chester.
As our children all live some distance away from us - including Australia - we look forward to welcoming them "home" whenever they are able to get to us. We are also grandparents to 2 beautiful granddaughters.
We love cooking together and entertaining at home, many of our friends making an event of their visit to us by staying overnight, often continuing on to breakfast in the morning. Outside of our home, the many classy (gastro) pubs located within 5-10 miles from us, are a constant magnet, and their variety ensures that we never get tired of eating out.
Sue has lived in and around Nantwich most of her life and has a great knowledge of the area and its history. After all who would want to move away from an area that boasts so much, including - the Nantwich Show and the biggest and best International Cheese Show in the world, the local Food and Jazz Festivals, the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power, the Equerry International Horse Show and Carfest at Bolesworth Castle, and of course the natural attraction of the historic Roman City of Chester, and its renowned Zoo with over 1.9 million visitors each year.
Our hobbies really revolve around our country lifestyle, socialising, keeping healthy, travelling and enjoying what the world has to offer around us, having said goodbye to the pressures of our former corporate lives.

Why they chose this property

Unique, peaceful location, very private and romantic setting, no neighbours except the countryside
