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 ).

					  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 in one of the Shepherds huts and it was delightful! Clean, warm and lovely theme. The little touches that had been put in place were very well thought out. There was a warm welcome from the hosts and nothing was too much trouble. A very tasty fry up in the morning finished off our stay, well recommended. Will definitely return, thank you so much 😁

					  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.

					  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 😊😘

					  Honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough! We had a one night stay at the weekend, heather and co were absolutely lovely, made us feel completely at home. The breakfasts were awesome, nothing was too much trouble, we had a great time. Hope to come back soon!!

					  We had the loveliest staycation in one of the Shepherds huts. This place is such a hidden gem. The hosts were extremely welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We originally booked for 1 night and then added another on during our stay as we loved it so much. The little touches and quirks within the hut were so appreciated and it had everything we needed to be comfy and cosy (including and amazing log burner inside). Cannot fault the facilities or the breakfast. Can’t wait to visit again!

 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.
