Holiday Cottages in North Wales

An indulgent escape for two, Liongate Lodge is a breathtaking bolthole of stone and slate. Bringing the feel of a boutique stay to a rural break, the lodge is situated in Tattenhall in the bucolic Cheshire countryside, where rambling parkland and castle views invite you to indulge your Austen fantasies.

Mere miles from the border into North Wales, Liongate Lodge sits within the Bolesworth Estate in Tattenhall, Cheshire. Famed for the iconic Bolesworth Castle, the lodge shares the same grounds as the castle, events venue and equestrian arena, but is far enough away from the action that you can simply soak up the peace and quiet. From your doorstep, there are lots of things to see, do and enjoy. The Sandstone Trail, a popular long-distance walking path, is just a short journey away and can be accessed from The Pheasant Inn at Tattenhall. The entire trail is almost 55km long, but stunning segments that you should head for include Beeston Castle and Bulkeley Hill. If the more leisurely pursuits are your thing, head for The Spa at Carden Park (11 mins away by car) for an award-winning experience, or discover The Hollies Farm Shop, which has become an iconic institution of luxury homewares and artisanal produce, is just 14 miles away in Tarporley. The Roman city of Chester is worth the 25-minute trip, with fascinating Roman ruins, stunning timber-frame architecture and endless shopping outlets. When you’ve come this close to the border, it would also be a sin not to venture into Oyster’s native North Wales. The stunning coastal destinations of Conwy and Llandudno are only an hour away, while Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula also beckon with spellbinding scenery and beautiful beaches.
