4-Star Working Dairy Farm Stay in Hanmer with Captivating Countryside Views
Working Dairy Farm Experience
Hillside Cottage is a 4-star holiday home located on a working dairy farm in Willington, Hanmer. Guests can watch the cows come in for milking and observe calves feeding directly from the property. The farm's resident dog is a constant companion, and the bedroom's dual-aspect windows provide panoramic views of daily farm activities, a highlight for those confined to bed.
Self-Catering Accommodation
The holiday home includes one bedroom and a private bathroom, with a private entrance for guest use. A fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine are available for self-catering stays. The property also features a spacious garden, which guests can enjoy exclusively.
Location and Accessibility
Hillside Cottage is situated 30 km from Chester Racecourse and 33 km from Chester Zoo, with Manchester Airport 68 km away. The location provides easy access to an abundance of places of outstanding beauty, history, and tourist attractions. The National Eisteddfod in Wrexham is a short drive, offering cultural events during summer.
Guest Satisfaction and Practical Notes
Guests rate the property highly for room comfort and excellent facilities, with one review scoring it 9 out of 10. The hosts, Zoe and John, are noted for their hospitality and ensure guests are happy. However, a low-rated review mentions a toilet malfunction and slow host response, advising caution in warm weather due to flies when windows are open.
