- "We had such a lovely stay here. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and it is a lovely house. Breakfast is delicious and there are lovely touches in the rooms such as port." - "Property was in a lovely countryside setting a short walk from Dunham Massey with a very good pub next door. The garden room was a comfortable ‘home from home’ and a relaxing space after countryside and National Trust property walks. Staff (particularly David) couldn’t do enough to help us enjoy the experience which we found absolutely first class. Breakfast was brilliant and we couldn’t ask any more from our stay at Ash Farm. Thank you from Steve & Jill"

- "Amazing stay. So lovely and cosy! Would definitely stay again. No complaints at all." - "Fantastic stay! Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for your hospitality. The annex was just what we were looking for. Thank you Louise " - "I really enjoyed my stay at this detached bungalow. I was met by the owners outside it, which i liked, as it gave my arrival a nice personal touch. They were very friendly, and made me feel at home from the start. After this, I wasnt bothered again, but they made sure to let me know that they could be called upon, if necessary. The room was excellent for what i needed; a bed, partitioned shower and washroom, microwave, fridge,all the basic utensils needed, including coffee,tea, and even a jug of milk was put in the fridge. The bed was, in my opinion,very comfy, and the whole room was kept at a nice temperature by preset thermostat. The double patio doors looked out into a well maintained garden, complete with squirrels raiding the bird table. Very relaxing. Also in the room was a well put together booklet, telling me all i needed to know about my accommodation, and shops and facilities in the area. Overall, my stay was excellent. I would definitely like to stop there again sometime in the future. Thank you.🙂 "

This private studio is located in a quiet area of the desirable affluent Hale, which is ideal for short or long term let, as it is fully inclusive of all services and provides free wireless broadband and ample parking.
You will be delighted with our comfortable self-contained studio which is a stone’s throw away from the village, with its stylish lively bars and elegant restaurants, or the beautiful countryside with its many quaint pubs.
The studio has its own private entrance which offers easy living accommodation and is fully equipped with everything you may need to make you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, including a hairdryer and basic supplies.
As it is accessed down York-stone steps, unfortunately this makes it not suitable for the disabled.
Aspect is through the huge glass doors, over a lovely, large well stocked sunny garden, which is not overlooked and you may use, along with the casual seating dotted around. This gets the wonderful afternoon sunshine, as well as filling the house with sunbeams on those balmy British afternoons.
We can provide a travel cot and bedding for your little one, if prior notice is given. A small charge is levied but includes all bedding and a towel.
The studio has ample storage space and is fully equipped including TV, free Wi-Fi, a hair-dryer, iron & ironing board, washing machine, cook books and even a hot water bottle at your disposal.
THERE IS A CHARGE OF £5 TO USE THE WASHING MACHINE which includes the powder. Please leave the money or it is taken from the deposit. This charge we feel to be the fairest way, as most people don't wish to wash clothes on a short stay, so to increase the overall cost may penalise some guests.
There is a minimum nights stay, however please contact me, as I may be able to accommodate a one night stay, subject to availability.
There is a special price for people taking my place for a longer stay, contact me for further details.
Hale is a bustling, affluent place full of restaurants and wine bars. We have small supermarkets, Tescos, Sainsburys and M & S food hall. The countryside is on the doorstep and a drive to one of its many pubs is a delight.
Hale train station links directly to bustling Manchester or extensive, well-preserved Roman city of Chester, stopping at Knutsford (great village steeped in history) or Delemere Forest (place to hire bikes in or Go Ape) make perfect days out.
Alternatively, there is a 20 minute walk into Altrincham where you can catch the Metro-tram excellent network of Manchester that connects to a wide area.
Two mins walk to the bus stop at the end of the road, where you can catch busses that go into Altrincham.
Altrincham has a cinema, Ice ring, larger retail shops and superstores such as Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Tescos.
The famous Trafford Centre (shopping paradise, food emporium and cinema complex) is within 20 minutes away, along with the 'Chill Factore' and Sale Rugby ground.
Manchester United and Manchester City football grounds, and Old Trafford Cricket ground are within easy reach by car or tram.
Five miles to Manchester airport by car, takes about 10 minutes to drive. Use ‘Station Cars’ Taxis for a reasonable fare.
Manchester Airport flight path does not go over the house or Hale.
Two and half miles to M56 which connects to M6 or M60.

Allow me to introduce you Serendipity, with its four bedrooms, each of them designed with a different personality.

Serenity is the only bedroom with views to our wonderful back garden, and Enchanted Three is the biggest of all of them. Lastly, also upstairs, meet Retreat, a bedroom thought for one despite its king size bed.
But it wouldn’t be a home-like experience without its communal areas. Downstairs, there is a living room to get comfortable and enjoy our Netflix subscription, our board games or just relaxing with a book from our library. Next to it, you can find a fully equipped kitchen with all you would ever need to prepare your favorite meals and a dining area with views its large back garden, that is accessed from the kitchen and counts with an outdoor dining space, and the smoking area. Lastly there is also a good-sized front garden by the driveway. Upstairs you will find a bathroom with a big bath and a big shower, as well as our beautiful landing that give access to 3 of the bedrooms.
