This stylish property in the pretty village of Ledsham, just 6 miles from Chester, sleeps six guests and five canine companions. The property has a vast garden, with large lawns for your furry friends to enjoy. You’ll have easy access to the Wirral Peninsula, where you’ll find dramatic coastal paths and woof-friendly beaches, as well as a great selection of exquisite eateries. The ancient city of Chester makes a great family day out, with historic buildings to explore, beautiful public gardens and excellent shopping facilities.

 

The detached waterside property is full of luxurious touches to make your stay feel extra special, such as underfloor heating which the woofers will love dozing on after a long walk. The impressive lounge/kitchen/diner is light and bright and decorated in a contemporary style, with ample room for both relaxing and socialising. After a delicious meal around the large dining table, retire to the comfy sofas to watch the Smart TV or play a game from the selection provided, whilst the Fido's stretch out in front of the cosy wood burner. From here, French doors lead to the fabulous decked area, where you can dine alfresco overlooking the beautiful wildlife pond. The vibrant enclosed garden is a paradise for children and dogs, with ample room to run and play. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them near the water’s edge.

 

The Wirral Peninsula is quite spectacular. With 25 miles of dramatic coastline to explore, you’ll find plenty of space for the hound to burn off steam. Many of the beaches welcome dogs all year, including the golden sands of New Brighton (15.5 miles). This family-friendly beach is almost 1 mile in length and offers fantastic views over the Liverpool skyline. There’s also a wonderful community-built pirate ship that kids will adore.

Pond Cottage is greeted by moss on the paviours. Overgrown plants with a pile of leaves in a corner. The front door and window frames had cracked and peeling paint. Cottage needs a spring clean. The damp proof course for coping stones on the roof at the rear was loose. The cottage and its approach through the adjacent homes in Court Farm were unsigRead morehtly, scruffy and wanting maintenance. The approach included a dumped mattress, holes in the driveway, bits of equipment left apparently at random. Hide

We have had the most wonderful time at Pond Cottage, the weather was gorgeous so we were able to spend lots of time outside enjoying the decking area. Our dog loved running around in the garden. The location could have been better for accessing all the lovely places around. We highly recommend Chester Zoo, Chester Oaks Designer outlet, Liverpool anRead mored Chester. Lovely places to eat, that again are only 15 minutes drive away. We would highly recommend. Hide

This is a fantastic cottage in a great location for local attractions, including especially Chester and Chester Zoo. We also visited Bewildewood Cheshire and Cheshire Oaks shopping centre among other things. We have stayed in quite a few 'premium' cottages over the years and this one is just as memorable especially for the deck overlooking the pondRead more and the generous amount of space. Hide
