Legh Oaks Farm, High Legh near Knutsford

Excellent stay for 9 ladies of a certain age celebrating 2 milestone birthdays! This farmhouse is beautiful it is so warm and cosy with plenty of space for everyone. It has everything you need in the kitchen and the bathrooms are beautiful. Some of the party enjoyed time in the hot tub and we even had a game of boules though it was a bit chilly! Its got a great pub near by where we had the most excellent Sunday lunch. Knutsford town is not too far away and worth a visit. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay was had by all!

Beautiful house, we all loved our stay.

The whole family had a great break we'd stayed at the property before so we knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed. The only downside was the British summer but we still enjoyed the garden and the grandchildren couldn't keep out of the hot tub.

Fantastic property and great base for my daughters wedding.

We stayed at High Legh for a week from Friday 5th July and my complaint mainly concerns what we found on arrival although, for completeness, I have added some other hopefully helpful comments at the end of this note. This was our second visit the first being two and a half years ago. Knowing the property, my wife and I arrived before the rest of our party as we needed to get the house ready for a special birthday celebration. The rooms were very clean with many things as before but there was a significant problem with the freezer in the kitchen. We had brought food with us which we needed to quickly freeze after our journey. However the freezer was unusable because of dirty solidified ice and huge bags of ice cubes welded to the shelves and compartments. My wife had to semi defrost the freezer rather than complete more urgent tasks in order to get any of our food into the freezer. This took her over of 3 hours during which time the rest of the family arrived including four grandchildren, all 5 or under. The freezer had not been inspected for some time as the buildup of ice and a broken flap to the bottom compartment hadnt just happened recently. The only solution is probably for the owners to buy a new selfdefrosting freezer or for the cleaning staff to defrost the current freezer in the 5 hour window they have between visitors but taht may not be feasible. This was our main complaint about the property this time, but it has to be said although we tried both the mobile number provided by the owner plus a Sykes contact number that evening, neither produced a reply. The information left for visitors is insufficient or inaccurate with too much included about another property abroad rather than helping someone navigate and feel at ease in High Legh. That was unhelpful but I need to mention to you that the quality of various things had noticeably deteriorated since we first visited when we felt like we were like the very first visitors. Back in 2021 it was immaculate and so smart. Sadly, I guess other visitors dont treat the possessions of others as we do we always respect a holiday let as we would our own home. For your and the owners information a few things we noticed during the week that certainly need remedial actionattention are Our grandchildren aged 25 were at risk of being badly stung by nettles in retrieving balls from behind the basketball hoop etc. For families this is unacceptable and needs addressing immediately. The foot of the garden table at the bottom of the garden has rusted away making it quite unstable. The boules court needs a good weed it looks very tatty and not liek the pictures. The edge of the cover to the hot tub is ripped in places where people havent folded it back with care and in the right way One settee in the lounge has a broken leg plus the legs of the various drinks tables are very wonky. We actually feel rather sorry for the owners as a fantastic property is now showing signs of aging and misuse by visitors but frankly they need to think about reinvesting in it to restore it to its former glory.

The farmhouse provided everything that me and my besties needed for a lovely weekend celebration for my sixtieth birthday. Comfort, luxury, peace and quiet and plenty of social space. Couldnt fault it. Have already recommended it to some other people I know. We would definitely return.

Good property, cooker was awkward to master instructionsoperations. Freezer next to front door needs defrosting was already in this state.

We have had an absolutely fantastic few days at Legh Oaks farm. The whole house was warm and inviting as we arrived and was spotlessly clean. It was a definite wow factor as we walked in. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the fact that they all had access to a bathroom was a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and a great space for family meals. The hot tub was clean and ready to use on arrival. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family. However there were a few things that we noticed straight away, that need addressing for future visitors which they probably already know about, otherwise we would have given it 5 stars. We realise that its very popular and that there might not have been time to keep up with small maintenance jobs in between rentals. The microwave door cover kept popping up , it just needs some strong glue, we had to put a few strips of tape on it. There were no kitchen scissors, thats about the only utensil missing. The freezer had draw doors either missing or broken. The flush button in the downstairs bathroom was loose. The small tables in the living room were very unstable. The wicker garden set had no parasol and two of the chairs were unsafe as the seats had worn through. It is worth mentioning that none of the above affected how much we enjoyed your property.These are all things that can easily be put right but needed mentioning, as you have a wonderful property that can be worthy of 5 stars in the future.

The experience was all amazing except for the property lacked basic things like olive oil etc for cooking otherwise great!

The overall design is welcoming and comfortable really appreciated the quality of the kitchen , this is our second time at the Farm, had a wonderful experience. The long journey from California was well worth the effort.

Absolutely stunning house. We enjoyed staying at such a beautifully renovated property. House had tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tabs, soap, bin bags etc which was a nice treat. Hot tub was lovely and warm, garden is a great size and the area is so quiet & peaceful. Thanks again for an amazing weekend we will be back!

Wonderfully spacious property. We were a party of five couples gathering to celebrate a 70th birthday. We all agreed that Legh Oaks Farmhouse would be a great place to return to. Despite the very mixed weather we all had a great time. Congratulations to the owners.

This is a beautifully modernised and stylish old farm house. It was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and warm. It was a great place to spend a weekend with a group of old friends. The owners had noted the minor concerns raised by previous guests and put them right. Stayed weekend of Oct 1st 2023

A beautiful place to stay like a home from home. We will definitely be rebooking!

House was wonderful. Clean and luxurious. Beds and pillows very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. The only slight inconvenience was that there was 1 dishwasher tablet, tiny bit of washing up liquid and no cloth or sponge to wash up so we had to dash to the shop. Also no salt which I would have expected. Also bins outside were full so had nowhere to put our rubbish or recycling . Other than these small things. We had a fab stay in wonderful surroundings. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Legh Oaks farm so much! It was just beautiful and the perfect place for us all 8 adults and 4 kids. Each of our rooms had an en suite which was brilliant, as well as an additional shared bathroom and toilet. Plenty of space, a lovey garden with hot tub, 2 living areas and a beautiful functional kitchendiner.

Excellent , the property was as presented on the internet with no negative surprises. As a family of ten we had a fabulous visit , the farm addressed all our needs for both accommodation and recreation, the garden outside facilities are fabulous. This was an important family reunion and the farm was a key part of our visit to Cheshire, we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful house and location for 10 of us staying for a family wedding nearby. The garden was so spacious and we made really good use of it during the sunny weather with outdoor meals and hot tub! The kitchen was perfect, well equipped with crockery and arrival necessities were provided like coffee, sugar and dishwasher tablets which was really handy. The bedrooms were nice and comfortable and it was great majority had en suites! All in all, we had a fab week in the north!

The house was amazing ! There was plenty of space for 6 of us plus a dog. there are a few restrictions for dogs so worth checking before.It would help if the full requirement is on the listing thoughThe property was clean. Arrival necessities such as coffee etc bin bags dishwasher tablets were all supplied.The log burner was an added bonus for us. Loved it !There were enough logs supplied for one fire but readily available at the garden centre nearby.The hot tub was awesome but we had to refill by saucepans as the hose was taped up.not too much of a problem though Plastic attire such as plates glasses etc are not supplied for garden use.Could be very useful if they were for safety reasons.We had an amazing time and the Christmas tree was beautiful.Thank you for letting us into your home.It felt extremely special and homely !

A lovely holiday home . Couple of things that would have been appreciated. A small bottle of milk and a few logs just to get us started otherwise it was perfect

We had the most amazing stay at this lovely house the pictures do not do it justice! The house was decorated beautifully, everything we needed was there, and the location was great. I really can't fault our stay, thank you!

This must be the most awesome property weve ever stayed at. As soon as we walked through the front doors we were all gobsmacked as to its size, amenities, cleanliness and the fact we all had spacious beautiful bedrooms with an en suite to each of them. To have our own spacious lounge to relax in comfort as adults with a wood burner, whilst the children watched their own programmed on the tv in the cinema room. The kitchen area was to die for. It was huge and well equipped with fridges and freezer, dishwasher and an amazing cooker, oven, hob and extractor fan. The massive table and chairs accommodated the nine of us easily for meals in comfort. Just off the hallway in an enclosed space was a sink, and bar area with yet another fridge for the alcohol. The enclosed garden area was ideal, safe and spacious for our little dog and the children with a basketball hoop and the awesome hot tub. I enjoyed my early morning coffee on one of the two patio areas every morning being visited by a beautiful pheasant. All in all none of us have any qualms in highly recommending this property to others as we all said wed like to make a return trip there in the future. The only issue we have is that we couldnt stay longer.

A lovely spacious cottage, that the three generations of our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in! It was obvious, and reassuring, that the owners had noted the comments in previous reviews as there was plenty of new crockery and handwash in each bathroom. It was only our first impression that fell below the 5 star rating nettles and weeds all around the games area, a cheap, very stained tea towel, a nasty smell from the hall cupboard a dirty mop, and no welcome pack so unusual these days....not even milk!. However, we quickly managed these and would be happy to return.

Beautiful place, had lovely time with all old friends, only two single bed very soft, was ask to put board, made comfortable after that. Please provide toilet cleaner in each toilet and brush.

We stayed for the weekend to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday. This house is a fantastic place for all the family to get together. Plenty of space and very well kitted out. The kitchen and dining area is absolutely fantastic, the whole house is beautifully decorated and clean, everyone slept comfortably in the beds, the garden is a fantastic size and the hot tub was fab. My only minor point is that quite a lot of the crockery and mugs are badly chipped and in need of replacement and there was a lack of hand wash in all the bathrooms. However this did not deter from us having had a fabulous weekend here.

Cottage was absolutely beautiful, perfect size for a large group, extremely clean and comfortable. Living room a fantastic size with perfect sofas for a large group to sit together. Loved the designated bar area for drinks to be stored Fantastic to have 3 fridges as with 10 people staying they were all needed and used Kitchen table excellent size to gather around and again fantastic to see 10 chairs Bedrooms were spacious and spotless and each had their own bathroom Hot tub a great size Brilliant outdoor table for eating outside Only suggestions that came from our group and no way intended as any kind of criticism Plastic glasses for use in hot tub More garden furniture seats there were not enough ratten chairs for 10 to sit outside together Would be nice to have a firepit outside so we can stay outside when the evening gets a bit chilly we had this at last year's cottage and we all loved it

We had an amazing relaxing time. The place was stunning. Fantastic attention to detail on the decor. Having read the previous reviews the owners really seemed to have taken on board and resolved issues that had been raised before. It was my husbands 60th during the break, a handful of family members joined us for a couple of nights and they too were blown away by the cottage. The only tiny picky suggestion for improvement would be we couldnt find a hairdryer. Other than that a big well done on the place. We definitely hope to return.

Fabulous property. Pictures didnt do it justice. We had Tesco and Asda deliveries found us no problem and a fantastic Indian delivery. Would definitely go back

Lovely big property which worked great with different parts of the family. Clean on arrival. Helpful when smoke alarm in kitchen went off! way too near hob! for the price missing a few finishing touches for example, one bin bag, one tea towels, no handtowels for communal bathrooms, no welcome basket, information booklet was very limited on local area and washing machine mouldy. Minor points, but only takes a little to be 100 perfect. That said we got separate hot tubs towels and hand wash in the bathrooms which were great!!!

A SPACIOUS AND WELL EQUIPPED HOLIDAY HOUSE, SUITABLE FOR A LARGE FAMILY PARTY. THE OWNER AND TEAM RESPONDED WELL TOSORT OUT A PROBLEM ON DAY ONE, DESPITE BEING AWAY THEMSELVES

Booked for a family celebration & the house & experience far exceeded our expectations.

This house is beautiful the pictures really dont do it justice, everything has been so well thought out, the beds are super comfy & the bedrooms are stunning, would definitely book again thank you!

Stayed here in May of this year for 3 nights to celebrate a joint 30th & 40th birthday with friends we had the most amazing weekend, thank you so much. The communication before & during the visit was fantastic & the owner even rang me directly when we had a query on arrival. The house is beautiful & perfect for what we wanted, it had everything we needed & great fridge space. We had other friends come to join during the day & everyone commented on how lovely the property was hot tub was an added bonus! Thank you again so much, we couldnt have asked for a better weekend

Fantastic property. Immaculate and had everything needed!

Fantastic weekend to celebrate family members big birthday. Ten of us altogether with ages ranging from 3 months to 93 years. Kids loved the hot tub and the exploring all the space the house had to offer.

The pictures do not do the property justice. It is more beautiful than the pictures give it credit for. The addition of the Christmas tree made it more special and we had fun in the garden dogs loved it and the patio area and hot tub were great. It's nice to know that the dogs can roam freely and are safe whilst we relax and enjoy ourselves.

I stayed at Legh Oaks Farm over the weekend with my friends to celebrate a birthday! It was the perfect cottage to host a large group with excellent facilities. We all couldnt get over how amazing the cottage was and didnt want to leave! We will be returning in the future for sure! Thank you!

We booked this property to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday with our children, grandchildren and 2 dogs. It exceeded our expectations being very spacious and comfortable, perfect for us all. Unfortunately Storm Arwen knocked out the power for a couple of days but the owner did all he could to help us with a big log delivery so we were at least warm. He kindly recompensed us for our 'missing' 2 days and we couldn't ask for more than that. We would definitely return in the future and would highly recommend the property.
