Super spacious barn conversion with Log fire and hot tub

Large property, in a rural setting. Very pleasant. Good amenities.

Me and my wife stayed over 20/22 october 2020,this place is lovely, very spacious, very cosy and quiet,with the added bonus of the farm animals the owner keeps in a field next to the property. The owner (Bona) is very friendly, very approachable. I would thoroughly recommend Hillside,its a great place to relax and chill.

Positives:- Alpacas, sheep, and chickens are great to watch and is one of the highlights of the property- Location was great for us as we were attending Peckforton castle for a wedding. Great views as well.- Main living area was spacious with ample room and seating for all of us- Property host was not present during our stay so it felt very private- Communications with property host were fine.- Property is gated so feels secure- Can’t really comment on hot tub as wasn’t used, but it looked fineNegatives:- The en-suite shower fluctuates in temperature and I was almost scalded by it even though the temperature gauge was set in the middle. This is a serious and dangerous concern and I would highly recommend looking into it. I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt.- Some of the furniture is a little tired and dated such as the beds. I expected something a little more premium for the price paid.- Same can be said for the bed linen and towels provided.- Cleanliness in some areas did not live up to expectations, such as the en-suite wet room. In particular, the tiles and grouting looked a bit neglected.- Pool table needs re-felting as there were holes in the felt.- Kitchen lacks suitable cookware when cooking for more than 2-3 guests.- Overall I found the value to be on the lower side compared with similar places that I have stayed at.

The House was very clean and tidy. Beds were very comfortable and the heaters in the rooms worked very quickly so was very warm in the house. The located was the perfect distance from the main city center. Bona was extremely helpful with any questions I had prior to checking in. The check in was super easy, and the house was easy to find if you read the instructions sent its very straight forward. Would happily stay here again! We really enjoyed it.

Myself and others stay at this house for a hen do weekend, we had the most amazing time! Amazing views, brilliant host! The house is beautiful! Thank you again for having us!!

Werent aware was guest house but host didnt impose. Lovely settings.

A lovely, welcoming property, which was perfect for a catch up, with ample beds, towels and bedding, enough utensils for cooking a quick meal before relaxing with drinks on the patio, in the hot tub, in the airy living space or all of the above! Everything was well appointed and easy to find, loved the en suite wet room. The chickens provided unexpected entertainment and the neighbouring sheep and alpacas were very chill. Also jealous of the garden, so beautiful! Thanks so much for making us so welcome!

Took an hour to find the property. Not even the next door neighbor had any idea where it was. Had no idea that the rental was behind another house, which is why it took us so long to find it. We were looking for the house in the VRBO listing, not the house it sits behind. House was stuffy and hot; no fans to move the air, especially at night when it rained. Did not care for the free range chickens pooping in and around the patio and front door. The listing advertised laundry. It did not. Looked everywhere, including the garage/barn and found nothing. Even if the laundry was in the garage, I would do my laundry there due to the condition of the garage. The shower on the second floor had a broken shower head, and the water would move from very hot to very cold constantly. No ability to control the temperature. And the water pressure was low.

Accommodation was very nice, great views from bbq and hot tub area, not far from city centre either

Amazing place, just all around very lovely, hot tub was great, only problem I found is it doesn't sleep 14, theres 3 double beds including a pull out couch and 2 singles, then 2 beds u can set up and then another couch which fits 1 person, in total thats 11 people, so unless the other 3 are staying on the floor, I don't know how it sleeps 14, unless it's set up differently when 14 people stay, I wouldn't know because I only took 10 people

The barn was clean, but there was a lot of flies, called to the local shop but they had no spray, Obviously not the owners fault but maybe something to be looked into for the next guests. We had a large party of adults and one baby, beds where all clean but I’d say a little cramped for that many camp beds to be put out as we where blocking doorways and climbing over each other. Also the games pool table pocket was broken so couldn’t be played with without balls flying everywhere, again something that can hopefully be fixed before the next guests. But all in all we had a good stay, we all managed to get our heads down and it did the job

Booking was very easy and the owner was very quick to reply. Getting to it via the postcode took us to a property down the road but we soon foumd where to go. On arrival the entire drive was a pure sheet of ice and a few if us nearly fell. The barn was extremely cold upon arrival but we soon got the wood burner up and running. Storage heaters don't give out much heat when working. The barn was comfortable and slept 12 people quite easily. I contacted the owner and was told there was more wood for the burner in the barn opposite and salt grit for the driveway. We were able to leave our bags in the car port which was covered and could return to collect for our later departure. Taxis are a nightmare to find in Tarvin but we did make use of the bus into Chester and back. Overall a lovely little place to stay!
