I made a mess of the reservation and booked the wrong date but the hosts went out of their way to accommodate us at the last minute, so very helpful. Rooms were lovely and location was beautiful, will definitely stay here again and hopefully be able to spend more time there next time.

Wow what can I say! Such a beautiful house. We stayed in the garden room, it was gorgeous and we had our own entrance door with a view of the immaculate garden. The breakfast was amazing, there’s a buffet as well as an amazing menu ranging from an amazing cooked breakfast to avocado and smoked salmon, many more dishes to choose from. David couldn’t do enough for us. We only met Janice when we arrived but a lovely couple. **The best way to find it is putting the name of the pub at the bottom of the drive in your sat nav called the Swan with Two Nicks otherwise you might end up the other side of Dunham Massey**

Booked 2 rooms - the four poster room for my parents and the garden room for myself. Beautiful appointed rooms with large comfy beds. David, Janice & Chris were super hosts, breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice. My dad said his smoked salmon and scrambled eggs was the best he’d ever had! The grounds are well kept and very pretty lit up on an evening. We even met the friendly resident lion too (see photo), sunning herself in the garden! Lovely little village pub nearby. A wonderful stay of which we will make our base from now on when visiting family.

The Hotel we originally booked got cancelled on us to accommodate other visitors, but we found Ash farm and what a lovely experience we had. David and his wife made us feel so very welcome, our room was so cosy with a four posted bed which was so comfortable, Tea coffee and biscuits provided and some sherry in a decanter such a nice touch. lovely view watching the wildlife from our room, so quiet even with the pub next door which was also a bonus. After a lovely nights sleep we went down for cooked breakfast and it was amazing all hot and freshly cooked to order, there was plenty of other choice for buffet breakfast, highly recommend anyone to stay over here. David and his wife were very attentive friendly and nice conversation. We will be back thank you.

Overnight stay while visiting Dunham Massey. From the moment we arrived the welcome was great. The house and rooms are beautiful. With everything we could want, even down to the sherry in the room. Room was great. And the breakfast was probably the best we have had in a hotel anywhere. Easy to walk in to Dunham 10 mins down the lane, that's for a great stay

Wonderful one night stay. We could have stayed longer just to keep chatting to David, the wonderful owner. The house and rooms are lovely and full of character. Hopefully we'll have an excuse to stay here again if just to try the breakfast! Thank you for your hospitality Oh .. And the pub next door is lovely and cosy !
