Mickle Trafford Manor Reviews

This was a super property and so well appointed. It was perfect for our family and had something for us all three generations. We were very comfortable and it was extremely welcoming. The garden was wonderful and probably the best holiday property we have ever found! Our grandchildren are already asking if we could come again!!
A superb country house . It must be one of Sykes best. Fresh flowers in the rooms. Immaculate gardens. A cake awaited the nine of us plus dog and the very friendly owner Sam could not have been more welcoming. Its a rambling historic house near Chester in quiet countryside. So many bathrooms and toilets , a huge well equipped kitchen and long dining table made meals a joy. Carefully collected antiques, a gifted interior design of colours and furnishings. The separate sound proofed ! games room with pool table, air hockey, darts, table tennis, cards, piano plus a connected sauna and hot tub a couple of yards away! What a time my wife and I aged 80 enjoyed with our daughters and their families. Plenty of parking and all we needed for a memorable weekend. Thanks to Sam and her father John for being on hand to ensure all went smoothly. Its was six star stay ! Peter and Pat
10 of us had a great 3night stay. The house felt like a home. It was clean and warm. The games room was really appreciated. Sam was welcoming, friendly and available for advice during our stay. A great place to spend a few days within easy reach of Chester.
Christopher
Excellent house. Good base for Chester and North Wales. We were concerned about road noise but it wasn't an issue. Sam very accommodating and on hand should there be any problems.
We have just had a brilliant week, the two main reasons are. Firstly Sam the host is an amazingly caring and attentive host, full of knowledge of the surrounding area, secondly the Manor is amazing. Full of history and character, but at the same time equipped with everything you need for an amazing stay.
This is a lovely house, tastefully decorated and furnished with a very well equipped kitchen for eating in. There are a number of pubs and restaurants within easy driving distance for eating out. The garden is a delight with a covered seating area, hot tub, sauna and a games and music room. Sam, the owner, is a very friendly and helpful lady. I absolutely recommend this property as a comfortable base to explore this area of the country.
Delightful property with lots of quirky features. The owners were extremely helpful before and during the rental period and the property was well kept, inside and out. House rules were clear and reasonable e.g. no glass in the hot tub. The hot tub was clean and very relaxing. Check in and check out were also very relaxed and allowed a great deal more flexibility than most places. Excellent location for most Chester and Chesteradjacent attractions. 8 adults and 2 kids never had space issues in either the house or the garden and most of us could even fit in the hot tub at the same time!. Overall, an excellent location and host.
Elliott
We had an amazing time! Was great to relax and the kids loved playing in the garden and games room. Sam was really helpful and gave us lots of useful information on the surrounding area. We didnt want to leave.
Mickle Trafford Manor is a beautiful spacious house, which by far exceeded our expectations. I dont think the photos or details on the website do it justice. Both house and garden had plenty of seating for everyone group of 8 adults. It was great to have enough comfortable seating in the lounge for everyone to sit in there together. Very difficult to find this in holiday properties. The whole house had been carefully thought through to ensure there was enough of everything for everyone seating, fridges, oven space, pots, pans, games the list could go on. The house is very well equipped, beautifully presented and the games room was just brilliant. The hot tub was lovely for those in our group who wanted to relax during the evenings after days out. Sam and John were fab giving advice, such as where to visit. They were incredibly responsive to any questions regarding the house. Such lovely people too, very friendly and accommodating. The Manor is in a good location. In walking distance of two pubs. We had a Taxi for 4, from Chester centre back to the Manor which was under 10 less than 2.50 each. Its an easy drive to Chester centre, many places of interest, Cheshire Oaks shopping village and an array of different supermarkets. We had a cyclist in our group who found some lovely cycle trails. In summary A beautiful property exceeding any expectations, exceptional owners, great location. Would definitely recommend.
Sam was a friendly and helpful host. The Manor is spacious and well laid out. The garden and games room were great for our small children. We all really enjoyed the week
Fantastic stay for party of 8. Fabulous host and amazing accommodation. Definite recommend.
We had an fabulous stay, house was spotless and Sam was so helpful and friendly. Amazing ladys weekend away, the house I so well located for Cheshire Oaks, Chester Zoo etc. The house has lots of parking, amazing games room and activities, comfy beds, every room is ensuite, you could stay here and not need to leave the house. Perfect for families too. We had absolutely everything we needed and loved the little touches Sam left. Cant wait to return! Thank you
A fabulous stay over Easter. Beautiful fresh flowers everywhere. Easter decorations delighted the grandchildren.Wonderful welcome basket.Sammi was delightful and I felt able to contact her if required.The manor was great as previous reviews have said the games room suited all the family young and old. The kitchen having 2 fridge freezers extremely useful when there are 10 of you.Although the weather wasnt the best we still had a lovely time.
