					  where to start ! it has been the most amazing few days away with my partner to celebrate my 70th birthday. From the minute we arrived nothing was too much... read more trouble for Heather and Neil the perfect hosts . The breakfasts were beautifully cooked and plentiful. we stayed in "The Stables" room , the bed and pillows were so comfortable ( a must ) but the slipper bath just divine! The location is beautiful and we will certainly be going back again soon- what a gem of a place cannot praise it enough - thankyou to you both from Joan and Peter

The Orchard room is huge with a newly refurbished wet room which would be suitable for people with mobility needs and all ground floor areas are wheelchair accessible. 

We love this place and are looking forward to staying in their new wagons once open. 

I wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else in Cheshire.

					  This place is a hidden gem, especially the Shepherds Huts! So much so that we were only meant to be staying in the hut for one night and then in... read more the actual B&B the night after but decided to stay in the hut the whole time. 

Our hut was called ‘Ruby Tuesday’ and had all we needed for a 2 night stay. Log fire with unlimited logs plus an electric heater for those cold winter nights, a super comfy bed, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery, mugs, milk, tea, coffee , sugar, a mini fridge and a radio. They even had a bed pan for anyone like us who decided to watch a horror film one night and were too frightened to leave the hut to use the toilet (although the shower & toilet area which is in the B&B is a few steps away). 

The owners Heather & Neil were great hosts who left us to it so we had the place to ourselves but were there if we had any questions and giving us advice on the local area and keeping us entertained at breakfast. Breakfast is in the B&B the next morning was described as ‘hearty’ and that’s exactly what is was. Two of everything made fresh and served hot with cereals, orange juice and lots of tea & coffee. 

If you are looking for a totally relaxing break in a warm & cosy place whilst feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere then this is your place. Falling asleep to the sounds of the roaring log fire and the cows moo’ing after a day of exploring the area or sat outside the hut with a brew and the fire pit was perfect. Can’t wait to go back for Halloween.

					  We stayed here last night as we were going to a charity event at Carden Park. The lady that runs the B&B is amazing  ... I dont think we... read more have  had service like this at any hotel or B&B that we have stayed. She couldn't do enough to make sure that we were happy and had everything we needed. She even dropped us off at the venue for our night out and supplied us with a local taxi number.

The B&B is immaculate and so homely. We couldn't fault a thing it was beautiful and the scenery was stunning. Tiny little details such as blankets on the front door bench to sit out on a night make this B&B so lovely. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone.

I've got to mention the breakfast too... home cooked full breakfast with all the trimmings in such a lovely breakfast room over looking the countryside.. it was so nice to wake up to the sound of the animals outside. We loved it!!!

Amazing place and people!! Thankyou X

					  We stayed as an extended family for three nights whilst attending a wedding at nearby Carden Park Hotel. As such we took all the rooms and they are as advertised.... read more Beautiful!  We had a tremendous warm welcome from Heather and Neil Armstrong. The B&B is in a beautiful setting with stunning views.  Breakfast was a delight and I cannot recommend staying there strongly enough.  Absolutely amazing!

					  Booked a stay here based on a recommendation and what a recommendation it was!! 

We had the best weekend, spacious rooms, beautiful building and the setting is just bliss. I could have sat outside and looked at that view for hours. 

Special mention to Heather and all the staff. Great host and made to feel so welcome. 

The only negative is on us, we didn’t book for long enough!! 

Can’t wait to go back!

					  What an amazing place - B&B, cottage and shepherd hut options. High standard of accommodation, the loveliest of views and relaxing atmosphere. Heather and Neil are the most helpful of hosts and cannot do enough to help in any way even to the point of lending me their personal laptop when my own was playing up before an important interview! Would thoroughly recommend if you would like a peaceful location in the Chester area. We were competing in Bolesworth and location excellent for this.

					  Words can’t describe how much great value for money this B&B is. Heather is the hostess with the mostess and nothing is too much trouble. We were staying in the stables, excellent room with en-suite and seperate bath. Breakfast again was second to none and all the food is locally sourced, making it one of the best full English’s I’ve ever tasted. This is a great family run business and extremely welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Would most definitely recommended and will definitely be staying here again. Thanks again Heather & Neil, Tom & Ben

  disaster stay - but no fault of the property
There was a natural storm on this evening - the power lines were blown down - so after we returned from our ( not so good ) meal at the local pub - we were plunged into darkness - with no power - and it stayed that way - for the next 24 hrs
Heather  provided Breakfast - ( excellent as always )  even though no electric
This was our third stay and we will still return !! as the rooms are lovely even in the dark !!

  We stayed as an extended family for three nights at Higher Farm whilst attending a wedding at nearby Carden Park Hotel.  My goodness, what luck!  We used all the rooms in the B&B and they were all absolutely delightful and as advertised in pictures.  A warm welcome was given to us by Heather and Neil Armstrong. Breakfast was delicious and we couldn't have stayed in a better place.  The views are magnificent. We were royally looked after. Highly recommended!

  Absolutely a little gem.  From enquiring to booking and staying the whole process was smooth.  The room (Orchard) was huge and maintained to high standards.  Heather is a great host and she went out of her way to source me some local Cheshire honey.  Definitely recommend a stay at Higher Farm.  I had a conference at Carden Park and they couldn't accommodate me.  This is ideal as it's literally 3 minutes down the road.  Truly recommend this place.

  Great B&B, service and hospitality was second to none, the owners really go all out to make you feel welcome. I stayed in the Superior Suite and was one of the best nights sleep I've had in a long time, so comfy! This really isn't your average B&B, will not hesitate to go back if I'm ever in the area again!

Views are also unreal

  Heather and Neil could not have even nicer or more welcoming.  The views are amazing and I loved the flowers around the door.  Very pretty.  My room was beautiful and spotlessly clean.  I had booked in to complete my dissertation and Heather had put a large desk by the French windows so I could look at the views while I worked.  It was heavenly.  The only sounds were the birds singing, cows and the wind in the trees.  Will definitely visit again.  A sanctuary for the weary student!!!

  A very special place. We stayed two nights on the way south and then north again in the shepherds huts which are beautifully furnished and lovely with fire baskets outside. Our children loved the huts and playing in the meadow outside. Heather and Neil are exceptional hosts ans couldn't have been more welcoming, even helping offer to heat our pizzas for dinner one night when we had had a long drive, and giving the kids marshmallows to toast. Breakfast delicious. Would def recommend.
