					  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.

					  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 :).

					  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

					  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.

Heather welcomed us with a pot of tea and a beer sitting in... read more the sun baked garden over looking green Cheshire. We immediately felt so comfortable that we asked if we could stay another night. Great food at breakfast and a funny waiter (sorry Neil )

					  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!

					  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.

					  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 😁

					  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.

					  We stayed at this little gem this weekend, whilst in the area for the motor racing at Oulton Park, which is only 25 minutes away. 
The whole building is spotlessly clean; the rooms are thoughtfully appointed and have very comfortable beds, and breakfast was first class.
 There's also a nice pub, serving good food, within a 5 minute walk. 
Heather and Neil are the perfect hosts, and we'll look forward to staying with them again when we're in the area.

					  Higher Farm B&B is just so perfect for a little getaway or a flying visit...it will exceed your expectations with its well appointed, spotless rooms and its stunning and spectacular location.
Heather is a delightful and gracious host and nothing was too much trouble when she accommodated a little afternoon soirée for my Mum’s 80th birthday...she even made the birthday cake....amazing and delicious.
Heather is one special lady and creates a wonderful ambience in her B&B rooms and hosting. Heather will work with you to make your stay everything you want it to be.
Thank you Heather.

 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 !!

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.
