We have been to the hollies a few times, but never at Christmas until this time, the setting outside was stunning, lights entwined around trees and bushes. Inside the Scot’s pine was just as beautiful with a tree and festive lights around the fireplace. The farm shop and shops were just as festive and magical with lights and music playing. We really enjoyed a relaxing time here over Christmas. Well done team hollies on creating such a beautiful setting at Christmas time.
.Stay at Tarporley is one of my favourite hotels to stay in around this area. This is my 2nd time here and definitely will be back. Trip to Cheshire Oaks, with a night here and an evening at the Swan before heading to The Hollies farm shop on my way home. Very easy communication and just lovely.
Excellent and friendly customer service. Fantastic location. Extraordinary house offering extraordinary volumes. Wonderful park and surroundings.
We’re just back from the most wonderful stay at Cathedral House, Dornoch. The property is immaculate and has been decorated in a very relaxing and appropriate manner for the age and style of house. There were 5 adults and 2 small dogs in our party, and there was an abundance of space for all of us. We had mixed weather on our stay, from mild and wet, to snow, and sub zero temperatures, yet the house was lovely and warm. The house is well equipped, and I’m not sure I can think of a piece of kitchen equipment that was not included! The golfers in our party appreciated the heated garage for stori...more
A wonderful place to stay, either as a base to explore the area, or just to relax in the hot tub, Highly recommended!
Absolutely stunning lodge, even better with the hot tub. The new mezzanine room is gorgeous, however the green emergency light lights up the whole room at night which makes it difficult to sleep (especially as we had our 10 month old with us in the room!), it was quite a nightmare. There was also a few screws uncovered on the ceiling and walls and the hot and cold settings on the shower are the wrong way round. Other than these issues, we had a really lovely stay and the location was fantastic.
A clean and comfortable room. Excellent hospitality from the people working downstairs in the store and restaurant. Only two items for improvement. 1. Access instructions need to be more specific. Three pinpads to navigate, and different codes on each can be confusing. We managed to lock ourselves out before accessing our room. 2. A 5 night stay requires that supplies be replenished halfway through. Especially on a bank holiday weekend. We had to go hunting for toilet paper, tea and coffee. Other than that we are very happy with our stay.
This is our fifth stay at Muckrach and as always it was perfect. The accomodation is tastefully decorated in an absolutely stunning location. We decided to stay in the Speyside suite this time as it was just my husband and I. It had everything we needed and was luxurious like the other cottages just on a smaller scale. Everything is always beautifully maintained at Muckrach and the staff are amazing there. They are always very friendly and knowledgable if you need anything, but they always respect your privacy and leave you to enjoy your holiday. I highly recommend staying here. This is an ab...more
This is our 2nd time staying at the Hollies and won't be the last. We love our time here and only wish we could stay for longer, especially as the weather let us down this year! The lodge is huge, comfortable and luxurious. The beds are extremely comfortable too. The showers could be a touch more powerful but other than that, I could not fault the place. It's so peaceful and quiet on site which adds to the positive atmosphere.
Although it's self check-in, I saw a couple of staff who were very welcoming. Everywhere is very well maintained and good artwork. Breakfast in the farm shop was very good and special thanks to Claire for taking such an interest in my visit to the area!
Had the lodge for 5 weeks and had the best time - the staff went above and beyond for my family and I. Thank you so much!
Lovely lodge. Very clean. Breakfast hamper (additional extra) was great quality. Super location ~ quiet and peaceful with an amazing farm shop where you can buy superb quality food. Located well for exploring Chester and the zoo.
We stayed here whilst we were looking at properties in the area. I would have gladly bought the lodge if it was for sale. It’s in a lovely quiet setting yet it’s just a short walk to the farm shop & cafe which has everything you need. I would certainly stay again.
This was our first visit to The Hollies and we found the accommodation to be fantastic. It is by far the best lodge we have stayed in and we were very impressed from start to finish. The location is great, being close to lots of eateries and attractions, but also in peaceful surroundings. Bed was very comfortable and we had no issues with anything during our stay. We would highly recommend The Hollies and hope to visit again in the future.
Please could you help me with a stay again!! Many thanks, Andrew Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
