Cosy and stylish, this lovely cottage in the exceptionally pretty village of Whittington is the perfect accommodation option for a romantic couple or a small group of close friends. Sleeping three people over two bedrooms and welcoming one waggy-tailed friend, you’ll love relaxing in the hot tub and your pup will adore the freedom to roam in the enclosed garden.

Step into this lovely cottage and you’ll immediately notice that it’s overflowing with authentic charm and interesting features. The creatively-planned kitchen/diner is flooded with natural light and you will find all the equipment you need to rustle up an intimate dinner. Alternatively, step through the back door into the enclosed garden and strike up the BBQ so you can dine alfresco while your pup plays with his favourite ball. Before retiring to one of two spacious and stylish bedrooms for the night, treat yourself to a dip in the property’s hot tub.

Four-pawed friends are welcome to explore the grounds of the romantic ruins of Whittington Castle (0.5 miles), so this is a good spot to enjoy some pretty walks. Doggies are also welcome at the British Ironworks Centre (3 miles), apart from in the showroom or indoor areas. This means that you and your hound can enjoy exploring the attraction’s impressive Sculpture Park, a 90-acre site that features 100 sculptures. Relax with your pup in the veranda area of the centre’s Forge Cafe afterwards. Alternatively, take your pup shopping at Chester Market (25.5 miles), where many of the traders dish out treats to well-behaved pups.

A lovely cottage, everything needed for a short stay. Well-equipped kitchen. Hot tub was nice, but takes about 3 hours to warm up using log burner, not a problem, and users are told about this in the welcome booklet. Two pubs in the village serving good pub grub, a village shop and a good chip shop.
