COTTAGES

We have 3 fully furnished cottages available for either short term let or for holidays. Each of the cottages is ready to move into and are ideal if you need somewhere to stay whilst your house purchase goes through. You may be visiting family or friends in the area, need a home whilst building work is carried out or simply want to visit the Cheshire countryside for a relaxing break or holiday.

SHEPHERD’S HUTS WITH WOOD FIRED HOT TUBS

We design and build our own shepherd’s huts and each sits in it’s own landscaped gardens.

The first of these is at Dutton Locks which is on an island in the middle of the River Weaver. It is perfect if you are looking for peace and tranquility, walking, cycling, canoeing or paddle boarding not to mention friendly local pubs.
