					  My wife and I were on our way home to Stirling, Scotland from attending a running event near Chichester.  The journey was badly delayed by traffic congestion so we... read more decided to stop overnight in Cheshire.  Thank goodness we did as we were most fortunate to find Higher Farm B&B in Malpas.  What a super host is Heather and what an excellent place to stay.  Tremendous breakfast! 

Truly, the best B&B in which we we have ever stayed.

					  We just got back from a lovely three night stay in there Shepherds Hut. They were very comfortable, with views of the Welsh mountains in the distance. The freshly cooked... read more breakfast, cooked to order every morning was delicious and set us up for the day. Heather and Neil were so friendly and helpful we were even given marshmallows and sticks to cook on our fire pit on Saturday evening. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone who just wants to relax for a few days it was so peaceful. (Ok apart from the cows ).

					  Lovely stay at Higher Farm.  Stayed 3 nights first week in August.

Main reason for stay was to visit Chester Zoo , which is  not far away.

We... read more were a family of 4, and used 2 rooms.

Accommodation is lovely and very comfortable. 

The  Breakfasts were enjoyed by all, loved the berries and yoghurt to start.!!

Neil and Heather are great hosts, and are very helpful.

The surrounding countryside is very peaceful, and views from farm stunning, especially at sunsets.

The Egerton Arms 5 mins drive away, and Cock O Barton 3 mins walk , both have very good food.

A stay at Higher Farm is highly recommended. Would stay again if in area.

Thanks again Neil and Heather.

					  Higher Farm is a beautiful place to stay and is in easy reach of many attractions and stunning countryside.

Heather and Neil are the most attentive hosts and will go... read more above and beyond to make your stay extra special but as they don't live on site you also get your own space.

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.

					  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

					  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... read more 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 Castle and location excellent for this and hosts willing to be flexible with breakfast times to accommodate with competition times. Plenty of parking too.

					  A couple of days before our trip from Monmouth to Windermere, we decided to break our journey and find a B &B. We were so lucky. Heather was a delightful... read more host and made us very welcome. Although our hotel in the lakes was superb in every way, our room at Higher Farm was the best of the week ! A fantastic breakfast sent us on our way. We would love to return and explore Cheshire and NE Wales.

					  My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights.

The room we had was The Stables, it was beautiful.it had the most amazing bath with fairy lights above it. ... read more The bed is so comfortable. 

Neil and Heather couldn’t do enough for us, and made us feel so at home. 

The views from where we had breakfast in the dinning room are beautiful. 

We can’t wait to come back to stay in the Shepherds huts :).

					  Me, my partner and our little boy absolutely loved our stay here recently! Heather was very helpful leading up to the stay with recommendations and requests. Our room was lovely, very spacious and well decorated and the whole place was very clean. Breakfast was excellent, lots of options and views out of the breakfast room were very nice. Also very handy there is free parking. Nothing is too much for the friendly hosts and we cant wait to return! 
The pub is a couple of minutes walk away, which we had a fab meal there too.

					  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

					  The shepherd huts are immense, they have a 50’s feel with comfy bed, lovely and cosy space with BBQ outside and firepit, log burner inside for heat and cooking if you want to. They have everything we need. Peaceful yet close to a number of places of interest and picturesque walks. Hosts are friendly and attentive. Can’t wait for breaky!

					  From the moment you arrive it feels like home🥰. You’d get the warmest welcome by the host, Heather Armstrong, and would be in for one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays. The place and the grounds are beautiful and everyone really friendly. The whole family, we didn’t want the holiday to end, would we come back? A million times yes 😊. I’d highly recommend anyone who considers booking a visit to do it, you won’t regret it :). Thank you Heather and Neil for everything 😊😘

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 !!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
