“Positives Amazing property.”

Brilliant location. Nice that you are so close to Chester and to the retail park. Very warm house. Negatives. Beds weren’t that comfortable. Creaked every time you moved. Also you can hear everything from the upstairs flat.

- Duncan, November 2024
Emma August 2024

“Flat 1 is very spacious and had everything we needed.”

The property would benefit from additional sound proofing between flat 1 and flat 2 to reduce noise.

“I was on a week's holiday with my mum and we were in the ground floor flat.”

This is a little gem - it feels like it it sin the middle of nowhere, but 5 minutes down the road is a retail park with lots of shopping options, including Tesco, Aldi and M&S food hall, as well as non-food outlets. The property was extremely well equipped - all bed linen and towels, toilet rolls, everything needed to wash up and everything you could need in the kitchen, including all instructions for appliances. There were games in the living room cupboard and in the hallway cupboard was a vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron and a fan (which was very welcome). Lots of leaflets about places to visit which were helpful. Chester city is an easy 15 minute drive away and Grosvenor multi-storey is a great central place to park (£7.80 for upto 4 hours and £10 for the day). The only reasons I have given it 4 stars is I didn't find the mattress in the double room particularly comfortable but I think it was an Ikea mattress and I have never got on with those and as we were in the ground floor flat, you could hear people moving about in the upstairs flat - I was very glad the upstairs flat didn't have children with them because I would imagine that could be quite noisy if they were running about.

“Lovely cottage and location.”

The Welsh welcome tray was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. Everything we needed was there and more besides. I loved chatting to you and greeting your friendly dog. We will return to stay next time we are up visiting our daughter if you’re not booked up! Thanks for a perfect stay.

Katie August 2023

“The property was spacious and clean.”

A great place to take dogs. The kitchen was well equipped. The main bedroom was lovely and spacious. The beds in both bedrooms were a bit too low for me, and hard. The lounge was well used. But we found we could have done with another chair as the sofas were on the smallish side . Are family consisted of 3 adults. The Bara brith and shortbread were very welcome.

“A lovely clean cottage which was spacious and comfortable with everything to make our stay enjoyable.”

- Neil, February 2023
Gillian February 2023

“Lovely spacious apartment in an interesting area with plenty to do and see.”

The flat is very comfortable and well equipped. I would have found a small vegetable knife useful and maybe an extra empty wall cupboard to put my own groceries in, but l managed using one of the deep kitchen drawers without any problem. The owner made us feel very welcome and we are already looking at dates for our next visit. Thoroughly recommend a visit to Wells House Farm.

- Gillian, February 2023

“The property was lovely, there was everything we needed.”

Very clean and tidy and comfortable. The welcome hamper and milk in the fridge was a very nice touch as were the games in the cupboard under the TV and the little desk with the craft activities. My you get loved these, we used quite slot so left a new glue stick and pad of paper to make up for some of what she'd used.

Wendy August 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Well House Farm in Bretton.”

The flat was very well equipped and was very comfortable. It was in a great location with a bus stop at the end of the road to take you to Chester. The owners had put together a detailed information pack of the best places to visit so we enjoyed days out in various places in north Wales and also in Chester and Liverpool. It is located near a golf driving range and great retail park with a large Tesco and cinema complex.

- Wendy, August 2021
Mariya July 2021

“Lovely place to stay with beautiful surroundings to explore.”

Thank you for the welcome pack of essentials and treats . We had everything we could need for our stay. We were mentally prepared for some noise from the nearest small airport as was written in the end of flat advertisement , but unfortunately was so beautiful and peaceful in the garden . We really enjoyed our stay . Very friendly and welcoming host. Highly recommended place!

- Peter, May 2021
Arun September 2020

“The flat was very convenient for us.”

Also very close to a large Shopping centre was a plus. Just thought that the Curtains could do with being shorter so as Not to cover the Radiators- net curtains may also be helpful.

- Arun, September 2020
Melissa August 2020

“Amazing place to stay, hosts very friendly and provided us with a lovely welcome pack of essentials and treats, accommodating to children with games and arts and crafts.”

Flat is beautiful and has everything you need, lovely location will definitely stay again

- Melissa, August 2020
Rob August 2020

“Well managed accommodation with extra finishing touches of a welcome pack for us and the dog.”

It was immaculately clean with thought put in to keep it covid secure. It was a good size apartment for a family of 4 with a small dog, in an ideal location to discover the North Welsh coast as well as Chester and surrounding areas. Having a retail park so close with cinema was ideal for bored teenagers whilst we travelled further afield. The rooms were simply furnished ideal for a puppy that chews everything. We had to keep him on lead in the small garden as it was only a simple fence. There was also access to the farmer's field if he needed more space to explore. Definitely would recommend as an ideal base to explore the area. Easy to find, right next to the airbus factory, although this did not bother us at all. We kept missing the big transporter aeroplane's daily flight which we actually wanted to see close up. 5* stay for us.

- Rob, August 2020
Beverley August 2020

“This was a beautiful little apartment and exceeded our expectation, we had a lovely little enclosed garden which was great for the dogs.”

The apartment is far more roomy than the photo's look. There was some lovely little extra's; tea loaf, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, washing up equipment provided, there was a desk full for activities for children (although we did not need it) and very clean. Great value for money, a nice base to relax and travel to Chester, the Beach etc. Would definitely stay again :-)

- Beverley, August 2020
John July 2020

“Lovely accommodation had everything we were looking for .”

Would definitely recommend this property .

- John, July 2020
Catherine February 2020

“The apartment was very spacious and lovely furnished.”

The owners were very hospitable. The apartment is in a great place and near chester etc. We just had a problem with the guests upstairs with children who were very noisy , especially late at night and early morning. It was Not just normal noise from kids which is acceptable I understand children need to play ,it was constant noise and banging. The owners did talk to them in flat 2 and did there best to resolve the problem, which was appreciated

- Catherine, February 2020
Roxanne December 2019

“Lovely flat, nice and modern with a good garden for the dogs.”

Thoughtful additions from the owners by way of a welcome basket of essentials for both human and canine visitors!

Jillian September 2019

“A property fairly new to the holiday rental market.”

A great location, close to amenities although enough green space around. Great for visiting Chester and North Wales. Well equipped, only downside is the hand held shower. It could really do with a proper shower, even being very careful, we could not help but get the floor splashed, we did mop up immediately but they may find the flooring will not last long.

- Jillian, September 2019
Barbara August 2019

“It would have been good to have a proper walk in shower as showering in the bath with no screen is difficult, and we were careful not to get water everywhere.”

Also a towel rail in the bathroom would be helpful. Other than that our host's had thought of everything and the flat was very well equipped, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Barbara, August 2019
Paul August 2019

“Well House Farm proved to an excellent choice.”

It was the perfect location for quick and easy access to Chester, but was also in a countryside setting, which was ideal for our dog.
