"For anyone interested in canals, the Shropshire Union is close by - visits to Llangollen, Audley, Wrenbury and the aqueduct at Trevor (near Llangollen) are of interest."

Mr & Mrs P R

"A delightful weekend and an excellent place to explore some of Cheshire - a very cosy and snug home."

Ms J & Mr M

" thoroughly beautiful and romantic place for a break, surrounded by nature. If you do nothing else, visit the gardens and chapel - they are beautiful."

Mr & Mrs D

"Lovely quiet spot and great being surrounded by such a beautiful estate. We cycled most days in the locality - it was ideal."

Ms P

"Peace perfect peace!! we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Somerset Lodge - a truly idealist place. A fantastic Chinese restaurant was recommended to us - Elements - which is well worth a visit."

Mr & Mrs L

"A surprise for my 30th birthday that I will remember always. Such a beautiful place to stay, we could not have felt more relaxed and comfortable. All in all it was a fab weekend - thanks all for making us feel so welcome and helping our break to be something we will not forget."

Ms S

"What a wonderful weekend! One we will never forget. The Temple Gardens at the Castle are beautiful; the starlings flying at dusk were spectacular. And the Cholmondeley Arms served us great food in a charming atmosphere. The riding club provided a spectacle to watch!."

J & N, USA

"The local area is superb but North Wales is not too far away - Bodnant Gardens, Betts Y Coed, Snowdon and Llandudno are worth a visit."

Mr E

"Nice meals at Grosvenor Arms in Alford and the Cholmondeley Arms - both child friendly."

Mr G

"The farm shop should definitely be used – excellent produce and comprehensive range and friendly, helpful staff. The Anderton Boatlift is fascinating and totally amazing. Erddig is probably the best stately home for children. The grounds of Cholmondeley are well worth exploring – including the children’s playground... And yes, we will certainly be booking SHH properties again and again!"
