We loved staying at the Olive for our Mini-Moon. We used Olive as a base to visit Manchester, York and Cheshire. It was beautifully clean, private and well equipped. Rose Farm is an absolute gem for a lovely coffee, breakfast and an amazing farm shop. We hope to visit again, on another Northern adventure. Thank you to Penelope for wonderful communication and for being at the end of the phone if needed. We loved our stay.

We had a lovely stay at Olive! My dog did too - he absolutely loved be able to run round the big garden! It was secure everywhere except near the gate, it’s quite low there so some dogs would be able to jump it. The property is really quaint and very relaxing and homely. It was spotlessly clean and the owner left us a really nice welcome treat! It’s in great spot for walking and not too far from the lovely village of Tarporley and 2 castles although Beeston Castle was expensive for what it was and you had to pay £4 for parking on top of your entrance fees! Delamere forest is also close by so it’s in a really good spot if you like walking or have a dog that needs a good long walk every day like us!
