The eye for detail is excellent - all four units are beautifully decorated and the fixtures and fittings are second to none. The loft is a one bedroomed unit with an enormous lounge/diner, vaulted and beautifully beamed ceiling. The kitchen is superb with everything you could possibly need for a self catering break, washer/dryer, dishwasher even an expresso coffee maker.... More

My husband and I have just arrived back home after staying 2 nights in The Loft. I saw it advertised on the website for The Helsby Arms last year. Jill phoned me just after we set off to say we could check in any time which was great as we were only about 90 mins away so we were able... More

Being a seasoned business traveller I had a requirement to find accomodation for a 6 week period in support of a medium term business need. The Courtyard at Helsby gave opportunity to break away from the "norm" of hotels and give alternative options to have a "home from home" for the duration. Jill and Roger were fantastic hosts and the... More

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I used to travel a lot on business too so know exactly how it feels staying away from home a lot whilst working, even for short spells, so I am particularly delighted it worked so well for you for your 6 week stay.

We're a family of 5 who recently had a 3 night stay at The Courtyard. My husband discussed our requirements with Jill when booking over the phone and she was really helpful in advising us on the most suitable accommodation, even though it wasn't the most expensive available. The cottage was lovely - really cosy and well appointed, but practical... More

We have just had a 3 night stay in the stables. It was so lovely. A proper home from home. Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Our group consisted of me my husband my elderly mum and our small (well trained) dog. Jill and Roger made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage has everything you need...

We are a family of four (two adults and two children) and stayed in no.1 The Courtyard in February 2012. What a joy it was to stay in such a comfortable and tasteful cottage. The location was very central to a number of attractions, such as Chester Zoo, National Waterways Museum, Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and would suit many different tastes/needs.... More
