Manor Farm Egerton

“There are a lot of beautiful things to see in the local area but we found it hard to leave the property because it was s”

We stayed in one of the cottages at Manor Farm. The cottage was exquisitely furnished, warm, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our three‑night stay.

The place is gorgeous, the host is friendly and the setting is stunning. The bed was super clean and comfortable.

The cottage was calm and well catered, making it a perfect spot for visiting family and exploring nearby attractions. The farmhouse and cottages sit in idyllic rural surroundings, the host was wonderful, and the gardens offered many pleasant surprises. I would fully recommend it as a welcoming base.

“Care and consideration is needed to ensure that the gardens of the Cottages are better maintained”

Bewley Cottage is a one‑bedroom spot that’s easy to spot as soon as you step onto the grounds of Egerton Manor Farm. Tim, the owner, is a very pleasant gentleman. The cottage sits next to other cottages and is at the end of the drive near the Reception sign. Inside, there’s a very good‑sized lounge with a large wall‑mounted TV, two two‑seater sofas, a table and four chairs, plus a wood burner. The kitchen is well equipped and includes a dishwasher and washing machine, both of which were extremely clean and worked very efficiently. We didn’t use the microwave or oven because the oven tray was very rusty and clearly needs replacement. We ended up buying our own washing line because the one in the garden looked very grubby and had no pegs, so bring your own; we bought some while here. The large bed is extremely comfortable, and the pillows and linen are very good quality and very clean. The shower (over bath) is a manual mixer, so the hot and cold taps need to be adjusted manually to reach a comfortable temperature; the hot water and flow were good. Radiators with thermostatic valves (except in the bathroom) are in all rooms, but the boiler was not turned on during our stay (mid‑late August). We had no way to turn on any heating in the cottage to keep the nip out of the air in the evenings or early mornings; this is controlled remotely by the owner. It wasn’t cold enough to light the wood burner, but we would recommend bringing a couple of blankets or throws. It’s surprising how quickly the temperature can drop after a nice warm day, any time of year. We can highly recommend visits to Nantwich, Ness Botanic Gardens, Chester, Shrewsbury, Llangollen, Ellesmere Port and Liverpool. Our biggest disappointment was the poor state of our private garden. We arrived to big weeds, little weeds, dead flowers and a “very, very dried up dead toad” on our patio area. We dug out and cleared many weeds and the dead toad, but the large concrete trough full of dead flowers, another plant stand, and a disgusting green‑algae‑covered bench and chair (which were not fit to sit on) were not inviting at all. There were two other rattan‑type chairs and a small table in the garden. We chose the cottage at Egerton Manor Farm because the photos of the garden looked good; we like to eat breakfast on the patio and sit outside with our evening meal and a glass of wine. We rarely went outside because it wasn’t a pleasant environment, so we just shut the curtains so we didn’t have to look out at it. We were asked to dispose of our rubbish in bins located through our back gate, accessed via a neighboring cottage’s garden. That garden was also an absolute eyesore, with a pile of unsightly plant pots and other dried up dead plants. A long garden hose had been left lying on the ground on the other side of our gate, which one of us tripped on, so we decided to take our rubbish with us each day and dispose of it while out. This hose lying on the ground, especially on the walkway to the bins, is a health and safety issue – a trip hazard. The owner’s garden was very well maintained and colourful, but it was frustrating to watch him dead‑head and water his own flowers daily when no thought or consideration was given to the gardens of the cottages. We wandered around the grounds of Egerton Manor Farm on our last evening and everything in the main grounds was very neat and well cared for. We don’t understand why this same care and attention is not extended to the gardens of all the cottages.

“Beautiful peaceful location, with a charming, helpful host!!”

The location is beautiful and peaceful, and the host was charming, offering advice on the area and practical help. He specifically called to confirm it was “room only” (no breakfast), which we already knew from the property description, but it was nice of him to double‑check. He also told us about a wonderful farm shop 1.5 miles away that had a great breakfast. The only downside was that, since breakfast isn’t an option, a mini‑fridge or coolbox would be helpful for storing milk, yogurt, etc. in the room.
