A relaxing rural location
The property is well placed in a rural setting but reasonably close to Chester and Liverpool. We found the property to be very comfortable and the owners, Janet and Robert to be excellent in providing local information and for being very friendly. We plan to stay there in future as there is so much to see in Liverpool and the nearby towns such as Nantwich and Whitchurch. It’s not too far to hop over the border into N. wales to see Conwy and other historic towns.

Everything was just right!
Lovely cottage in a quiet location with a rural feel, equipped with everything we needed and cosy in colder weather. Good road connections and perfect for exploring not just Cheshire but N Wales, Peak District and Liverpool. Delightful owners were unobtrusive but on hand if needed. They very obviously care about their guests and had helpful suggestions for enjoying our stay. Thank you. All in all, perfect.

Fantastic stay
Travelled to Cheshire to find permanent accommodation for my nephew. Cherry tree cottage in Tarvin was perfectly situated in our search area. It’s also conveniently positioned for exploring Chester, north Wales, Liverpool and Manchester. The accommodation had everything we could possibly need. It was light, clean and extremely comfortable. Our hosts, Janet and Rob were most helpful and welcoming. They made our time extra special. Definitely hope to return soon... Alex

The cottage is warm and comfortable and has some great circular walks directly from the door including dog friendly pub stops along the way! The city of Chester is only a few miles away, as is the shopping outlet Cheshire Oaks. We hope to return soon.

Cherry Cottage offered everything we could have wished for in a holiday home. Extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped, it offered the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Cheshire countryside and towns. Our hosts, Janet and Robert, were friendly and knowledgeable, and we appreciated the fresh flowers, biscuits and eggs from their hens. We will most certainly visit again.

Beautiful cottage a walk away from Tarvin
We really enjoyed our stay in the beautiful Cherry tree cottage. It was a quick walk away from Tarvin village. The gardens were lovely and the host were exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay and we would have loved staying longer but no surprise, the cottage was already booked for the following week. We will be back though. Thank you again Janet and Robert.
