We are pleased to offer a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that your furry friends can join in on the fun.

** If the sofa bed is required, please let us know so that we can provide extra linen. Please note that this property is on a main A road to Warrington (which can be busy at times) and whilst pets are welcome for an additional fee, the garden is not fully fenced.

We have travel cots and high-chairs available (free of charge but subject to availability). They are not kept on site, so please advise us in advance if you need these for your visit so that we can endeavour to ensure they are provided in time for your arrival. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate last minute requests for these items.

Usual check-in time is strictly from 4pm and check-out time is by 10am. We're willing to be flexible with this by arrangement but this is dependent on other bookings, so please let us have any requests in advance of your stay.
