Tarporley House
The cottage is very cosy and well equipped and really conveniently located in a beautiful village with shops, pubs, and countryside walks on the doorstep. Kids loved the Xbox and games room. Excellent communication from the owner.
Parking was very tight for two cars. The basement rooms smelt a bit musty.

Good stay, was an enjoyable stay and where pleased overall
Location was perfect for the wedding we were attending, house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels and bedding etc. baby items like bed and high chair where included. Spacious house, comfortable. Village located in was lovely. Park included and shops etc
Couldn’t control the temper of water so Child burnt themselves when washing hands after the loo.
Also the top rooms were Extremely hot, made it difficult to sleep with small children as we couldn’t open the windows as they had no safety catches on so couldn’t risk them falling out. No fans etc.
We have a larger car due to family size and couldn’t get in to the house to park, one neighbour was rude and told us off as it was a private road, So we parked on the main road which was difficult with small children but not a big deal.
Tv and internet didn’t work over the weekend. Tv wouldn’t show any channels and the apps crashed after a minute of playing it.
Information Book provided states the house has a gas oven. It’s electric only the hob is gas.
No gate on the side of the house so couldn’t let the children or dog play in the garden.
Nothing major, just a few tweaks that I have communicated to the host who has already responded. Excellent communicator.

Accommodation with everything we needed
Excellent property for a visit to Oulton Park. We had four in our party but could easily accommodate a lot more. Communication with the owner was first class with a rapid response to any queries we had. Pubs and shops just around the corner.

A great sized house for a large family group in a quiet location in a lovely village.
The cottage was very comfortable and a good size for our family group, the bedrooms in the basement were great for the older children. Great location in a lovely village.

The house served a purpose for 2 nights but it needs some tlc.
The location was good when we eventually found it, central to Tarporley with a good takeaway on your door step.
The cleaner was lovely and very helpful the morning of our departure!
Finding the house was tricky, simpler instructions how to locate would be helpful as it was set back down a drive.
There wasn't enough water for everyone to have a shower. I understand the need to conserve water but on this occasion we all needed to get ready for a wedding which took all morning with little luke warm water being able to be used.
The bedrooms down stairs in the basement have no natural light. They have installed a vent which pipes air in from outside and they have a dehumidifier in one bedroom but you cannot sleep with these switched on. The rooms still smelt musty which concerned me with young children sleeping in there.
The window in one of the upstairs bedrooms was broken so you couldn't close it which was a security risk.
I lost a pair of earrings and knew where they were placed but when I emailed to ask if they could be looked for I didn't get a reply back.

A great place for a family catch up
Great cottage, very cosy feel but with plenty of space for us all. (two large families) Really enjoyed the log fire which was great to warm a bottle of wine, we also purchased some local cheeses from the farmers market which were divine!

Disappointing property needing TLC or repriced, way too expensive. Do not rent this property.
The location
It was shabby, many facilities were broken eg the bath was not sealed and tiles broken, fridge seal broken, blinds were not installed, window handle was in a wardrobe. The basement was uninhabitable and so we slept on the sofa and the floor. No windows in the basement, fire risk for children. No sign of a carbon monoxide monitor. It felt like it had been neglected for a while. Outdoor area was soulless with no plants at all. Furniture was poor quality. Note said that we could not use the fire which was a pity as it could have made it cosy but I’m not sure I would trust it anyway. Toilet seat was broken in both toilets.

A charming cottage in beautiful Tarporley
Really nice cottage in the middle of the village. Great location as we attended a wedding at Peckforton Castle which is nearby. We had a lovely meal in the village and then walked back to the cottage for the wedding party to get ready.
Nicely decorated and set out and tons of space for us all (we were a group of 8 ladies). I have just re-booked to bring my family back next month!

Disappointing considering cost for 3 nights
The village!
Basement bedrooms and bathroom uninhabitable. Damp smell and nasty smelling water supply. Poor diy/maintenance. Uncomfortable settees. Lack of stair gates, the only one being faulty. V awkward parking.

The accommodation was adequate for our needs and fulfilled its purpose,content rather than delighted
the vehicle access can be difficult when large vehicles are parked on Forest Road. The basement rooms have a damp and musty smell, we only needed to use them for one night so it was not a major issue for us.

Very spacious cottage right in the middle of the village
Very spacious cottage right in the middle of the village. We loved our stay as everything was clean and fresh, it was a true home from home. The weather was cold when we stayed so we enjoyed a log fire with marshmallows and some wine, which made it extra cozy. The pub around the corner has amazing food and a great choice of local beers. Lots of lovely country walks to burn off some energy! We will be back, next time hopefully with our little dog!

Nice cottage with potential to be represented better and a bit more of a guest friendly interaction.
Cottage was in a great location in the village
It was not clear how narrow the entrance to the property was or just how limited the parking was. From the photos it looks possible to park a decent sized family vehicle but we struggled to a)turn in through the archway and b) park. As a property marketed to large groups/families it would be useful to make that clear before booking to make an informed decision, parking on the street or streets nearby is evidently difficult at weekends
Also did not appreciate being told to take our rubbish to high street bins or walk it up the high street to behind a pub! I have never heard of a property requesting this in my life, and for the amount charged for the property guests should not be asked to do this, bins should be available. Bi-weekly collections is not an excuse, as a family of four we just about fill our bi-weekly bin and holiday guests do not create general “life” rubbish as a busy family does. It felt like an excuse to not have to deal with rubbish or bin collections
Also, it’s normal to allow guests to run the dishwasher before they leave and not wait to empty it, we stay in self catered properties 2-3 times a month and have never been asked to do this. It probably explains why we found a lot of dirty glasses and cutlery.
The check out instructions felt a bit like a long and excessive list of orders considering that guests are very enthusiastically told how housekeeping will be in promptly at 10am. This isn’t a cheap property and is actually a nice place to stay, but the tone of the check out list felt a bit like a “tidy your room” lecture from mum!
The property would also benefit from a few small niceties such as soap in at least one of the bathrooms, and some kitchen spray to wipe down counters (a dribble of disinfectant isn’t sufficient). It’s a big shame as the property is nice and we probably would have booked it again as we are in Tarporley several times a year.

7.0 / 10.0
Great location, just what was needed, a little bit more clarity earlier would have helped.
Location excellent, lots of choice for eating in the evening and a warm and friendly atmosphere. House was as described in terms of bedrooms, lounge, kitchen etc and was well appointed and clean. Towels and bedding well presented. Had been notified that the hot water may not allow us all to shower consecutively but it was fine.
Only finding out when checking in instructions arrived that parking at the property was cramped and would only just take two cars when four of us were travelling from different locations wasn't ideal. I think this should be disclosed earlier. The underfloor heating in the basement bathroom and bedrooms didn't work so had to use electric heater of which there was only one down there.

Great property for 2 families in a good location.
large, had everything we needed for a long weekend stay, easy walking distance to high street or drivable to other shops.
Parking was very tight to get into - could fit 2 cars but very tight access.
2 bedrooms were in the basement - which we didn’t need, but kids hung out in a gaming room downstairs.

Sufficient for a short stay but no frills in many ways.
It was in a nice location near the Main Street through the village, a pretty village with a good range of shops, coffee shops, bars etc. Handy to get out of the village too.
Decent amount of space, not cramped and the beds were comfortable. Even a little space to sit outside with breakfast or a cuppa.
Finishing touches were a bit lacking and the place looks a bit tired. The oven / range was clean and worked fine but more by trial and error as the controls had lost their symbols mostly. No oven gloves.
There was a connection in the ceiling which looked as though it should have a smoke detector, and the kitchen tap was badly fitted. Strange selection of taps overall but I guess that’s personal taste.
Downstairs in the basement the ‘games room’ was pretty superficial without all the bits to get anything to work. And no daylight downstairs so the bedrooms though comfortable could be a bit claustrophobic. The three upstairs bedrooms were fine.
Parking offered enough room for a small-medium size car but anything bigger you’d have to reverse out (as we did) as no room to manoeuvre.
Checking out we were asked to take our rubbish away, put it in on-street public bins or in a local pub’s bin. Seemed a bit cheeky and for a long stay if cooking and eating in I don’t see how that would even be possible.
To be fair the practicalities like parking and rubbish were explained in a message a few days before arrival. But by then there’s not really the chance to change.

Great country cottage
We stayed at Tarporley Holiday Cottage for a family get together and we couldn't have been happier. The cottage is lovely, very clean and set out really well, so we all had enough space. The kitchen is amazing, and my brother (a chef) loved using the range oven! My two boys were in their element with the free Wi-Fi, and the kid's area set up in the basement lounge. We all had a lovely time, and the location was perfect as we could walk everywhere (including the lovely little pub around the corner) We will definitely book again. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
