The Dairy in Chester | Must-See Cheshire Hot Tub Cottage

About The Dairy

The Dairy is a ground-floor holiday lodge sitting in the peaceful Cheshire countryside, just 5 miles from Chester.

Who needs a spa break when you've got this?

The accommodation features an open-plan living area with a fully-equipped kitchen including electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge. The super-king bedroom (with zip-link option) has its own TV and en-suite bathroom. Two TVs and WiFi mean you're connected when you want to be.

The cottage was in a lovely quiet part of the countryside. The hot tub was a bonus at the end of the day. We enjoyed watching the bird cams. Very convenient for visiting Chester and the Wirral. Everything at the cottage was clean and well maintained.

Daniel

Lovely cottage and great location. Thanks!

Quite simply fabulous! Beautifully presented with quality decor and furnishings. Plenty of space, quiet. Hot tub was a bonus, just a shame the weather wasn't conducive to using it. The bottle of prosecco was a particularly nice touch. If I could give 11 out of 10 I would.

Excellent stay ,highly recommended. Due too planning permission lounge can be a bit dim so would recommend a couple of table lamps could be a help

We had a wonderful time at the dairy, it is a beautiful property in a lovely rural area but also close by to major attractions such as Chester zoo. The property had everything you needed and was really well equipped! We loved the hot tub and relaxing in it in the evenings after a busy day. The large communal grass area was great for our 2 year old to run around on. Great place to stay and would stay again in the future.

Immaculate cottage lovely surroundings Good area for things to do Little extras left for stay Warm too warm at times underfloor heating seemed set could not alter or find booklet so opened windows but hate wasting energy No sharp knives to cut food ? Enjoyed the owl, bird, alpaca cams x

Everything surpassed our expectations.

Complimentary milk, tea coffee and prosecco for our arrival Robes & slippers provided to use tofrom hot tub with complimentary bathshower goodies.

We had the most wonderful stay, will definitely will be returning Thankyou x

Maxine

Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable, great location, definitely will go again. Perfect stay, loved the hot tub

Brilliant conversion. Exceptionally comfortable and equipped. Great location, nice and quiet to enjoy a few days away with a walm hot tub.

Everything was excellent. The property was exceptionally clean. It was also comfortable and had everything that we needed. The hottub was fantastic. We used it everyday. The Dairy was ideally situated, meaning that it's in the country so quite peaceful, but with shops, etc. only a short drive away. The property is a credit to it's owner for sure. Will be considering going back.
