About this property
Tucked away in the pretty Cheshire village of Christleton, is this wonderful three-bedroom, semi-detached house, The Hawthorns. Enjoying a prime location just moments away from the local amenities, and just a short drive away from the historic city of Chester, The Hawthorns is a fabulous pet-friendly dwelling for a group or family of six, plus their two canine companions. Leave your vehicle in one of two off-road parking spaces, before making your way into your new abode. Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy washing machine, ready to enjoy at the dining table in the living/dining room. After dinner, why not head out to the large rear garden, where you can play a game of fetch with your pooches or catch the last of the day’s rays as they run and play. After dinner, retire to the sitting room to relax on the plush seating and snuggle up in front of your favourite show the TV. The living/dining room also has its own TV where you can watch something different. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day with a soothing soak in the bath, complete with overhead shower. When sleep calls, retreat to one of three well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest, a double, a single and a family room with double and single, all with plenty of storage for your belongings. Explore the local village, where you will find the delightful Ring O’ Bells pub, serving a tasty menu of British favourites and local ales, the perfect place to refuel after a day of exploring. The village also offers the traditional inn of the Cheshire Cat, a charming café where you can savour a light bite and a well-stocked convenience store for picking up any last-minute essentials. From The Hawthorns you can enjoy leisurely strolls along the Shropshire Union Canal or around Christleton’s Duck Pond where you can spot the local wildlife. Take the short drive into the bustling city centre of Chester (or less than a mile walk along the scenic canal route), where you can indulge in some retail therapy at the variety of shops speckled amongst the historic rows, wander the Chester City Walls, marvel at the remarkable Chester Cathedral, meet the resident squirrels in Grosvenor Park, enjoy a boat trip along the River Dee, have your picture taken with the Eastgate Clock, well-known for being the most photographed clock in the UK. Time your visit right and spend a day at the annual Chester Races which take place annually between May through to September at the Chester Racecourse. There are plenty of places to enjoy drinks and dine, including The White Horse, Telford’s Warehouse, Olive Tree Brasserie and Oddfellows. Continue onto Chester Zoo for a fun-filled family day out, or head to Ellesmere Port for further shopping opportunities at Cheshire Oaks. All this and more awaits at The Hawthorns.
In Christleton, Cheshire, tourists may find a shop, a village inn, a church and a pond, which is home to the local ducks! Chester, a Roman city just 3 miles away, has been referred to as "the jewel of the North-West of England" for a reason. From Roman walls and amphitheatres to mediaeval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses, and Georgian terraces, there is evidence of the city's history in a relatively small space. This is perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of the city: There is a lot to see and do in the city, including great shopping in the famed Rows and beautiful hikes surrounding the city limits, such as via Grosvenor Park or the Roman walls. Cheshire's market towns and Cheshire's quaint villages are all within easy driving distance, while the adjacent Wirral Peninsula has numerous excellent golf courses to choose from.

The hosts was very accommodating with access and general information about the property It was in such a lovely area. Nice quiet Village. Nice local pub within walking distance and a convenience store next door. Also it was only a short drive to the main supermarket which was ideal as there were 6 of us staying. Lovely to have fresh clean towels out for all of us for our stay ready Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking during the week if we didn't go out. Beds we're so comfortable and fresh, wonderful nights sleep Lovely spacious front room with big sofas for us to relax and as there were 6 of us it was great with the additional table and chairs. We didn't use the back room too much but was also lovely to have more sitting areas if we needed it. The TV had netflix on so was good to watch a bit of TV during our stay

The own phoned me 2 weeks before our holiday and asked if we would be willing to travel on the Sunday instead of the Saturday but we had an all day event to attend so couldn't manage so he said that would be OK. 2 days before our holiday Sykes phoned me and informed me as there was a leak in the bathroom could we travel on the Sunday instead or if not arrangements would be made to put us up in an hotel for the Saturday night which at that time we had no alternative but to agree. Trying to find out which hotel it was was another nightmare as nobody seemed to know and it was actually the day of travelling (and we were coming on a journey of over 400 miles from Scotland ) that we found out which hotel after numerous phone calls! We couldn't get into the Hawthorns until 12.45 on the Sunday which really disrupted our plans for the all day event we were attending. It was all very stressful and Sykes didn't appear to be concerned at all. As for the property itself that was big disappointment after some of the lovely properties we've stayed in. It wasn't very clean at all, kitchen dirty, TV didn't work properly, electric fires in both rooms downstairs had no plugs and just wires hanging out, underneath the seating in the living room was very dirty and dusty and the back garden was a disgrace. 4 cars parked outside the property which didn't add anything at all to neglected feel of the property. Very poor facilities and a really neglected air to the place. And also no sign of any work being done for a leak in the bathroom. I presume you do inspect these properties as there is a considerable amount of work needed on this house which could be lovely. Compensation was offered by the owner but never forthcoming and then to add insult to injury we were phoned about missing items which we knew absolutely nothing about. All very stressful indeed and I feel some sort of recompense should be offered by you or the owner. I'm so disappointed with Sykes and feel very let down after all the years we have been dealing with you. It's been a really stressful time for us both and your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
