"Just home from an amazing short break at Winston Farm Lodges following much research we booked the Kingfisher lodge and were not disappointed, these lodges are equipped with everything you could think of to make your stay an enjoyable one they are also maintained to the highest standard and Immaculately clean, Steve and Claire your hosts really do leave nothing to chance .We arrived to find milk and Eggs in the fridge which was a nice touch even salt and pepper on the table which is a rare find in rental units, we had messaged ahead and asked for the twin room to be dressed as a king size bed this was not an issue and in fact the 2 singles formed a super king size bed which our friends were made up with, We loved the central living layout of the lodge as we travel as two couples without Children this is what we always look for having the bed rooms at either end of the lodge with the kitchen and living space in-between rather than both bed rooms at one end this layout tends to make both bedrooms similar size (large)and each with a large on suite bathroom making it much more comfortable for all.Steve popped round every day just to check the hot tub and on the first day came with a gift of some sausages which went down well and was defiantly above and beyond have to say we have never had that before it was a lovely touch, we even had the great pleasure to meet Steves Dad Tony a great character and lovely guy to chat to.The Highlight of the lodge must be the proximity to the canal my wife and I were fascinated watching all of the narrow boats passing by in both directions this I think will be even better when we return for a two week stay in the Heron lodge in the summer and get to use the outside space far more.Big Thank you to Steve, Claire and the team cant wait to return in the summer for a 2 week stayJohn, Yvonne, Norman and Ann"

"Fabulous lodge and great location."

"Booked for my daughter's 40th birthday. She had a lovely weekend and especially enjoyed the hot tub"

"Perfect' sums up this short break. Excellent accommodation in a beautiful location with great hosts. Our lodge, Kingfisher, was just right for us (2 adults 2 children) with its spacious open plan layout. Fully equipped with everything you might need, great days out on the doorstep and the added luxury of a hot tub to return to helped make this a relaxing break (which, with a 7 and 4 year old is not always easy). We loved it so much we've already booked to return next Easter."

"Lovely holiday !! Beautiful place and very friendly."

"Perfect in every way. Hot tub to watch boats go by Christmas tree Steve Claire great hosts 4th visit very peaceful booked next year already."

"We love the hot tub and watching the narrowboats going past. We are near to some great places, especially the British Ironworks. This is a geeat place to visit."

"A wonderful place! Our second time visiting and definitely will not be the last. Steve and Claire are so welcoming and helpful, you have everything you need and more they do everything just right. Have been to lodges before and this is by far the best! Perfect place to come and relax and spend quality family time together with the dog included. Cant wait to go back."

"Fantastic place to celebrate our 48th Wedding Anniversay. Really enjoyed and would love to come back in summer months (not November) to appreciate outdoor patio space."

"We had a perfect weekend break, we stayed in the Heron Lodge which had everything you needed and more. The outside area is amazing, we spent a lot of time outside watching the barges go passed. Feeding the reindeer is a must, they are so friendly and tame. Can't wait to go back again."

"Superb location in a fantastic setting. Everything was provided in the lodge that you needed and the quality was exceptional. The owners were brilliant and the hot tub and BBQ just made our holiday."

"Beautiful modern lodge, VERY well kept and cleaned it was spotless. Great WiFi and facilities and they even provide an onsite Netflix for you to use, so saved us logging into ours then. One of the nicest lodges we've used and we have had plenty of these breaks and always pick higher end lodge retreats."

"Very clean and spacious lodge with everything you wanted thought about."

"One of the best lodges stayed in. Very spacious, lots of thought has gone into the lodge. Personally found the mattress too soft, but would definitely book again. Lovely relaxing break, very high standard."

"The perfect weekend away, nice and relaxing with fantastic company. We had everything we could have asked for and more, would recommend 100%, cant wait to go back."

"The lodges are clean and have everything that you could need, really well equipped kitchens so you dont need to leave the lodge if you dont want to!!"

"Overall a wonderful stay was had by all."

"Absolutely gorgeous, by far the best lodge we have ever stayed in "

"One of our best for relaxing"

"definitely recommend for families with kids, pets and groups to escape the every day life. Luxury cabins with everything we needed for comfort."

"Amazing in all areas"

"Loved this place its a home away from home looking forward to our next visit already"

"The best lodge we have seen. Perfect in every way. High quality, great layout of rooms. Very spacious. Good location at side of canal and surrounded by farmland. Our hosts Claire and Steve are amazing people. So glad we decided to stay for a week."

"Beautiful surrounding, stunning lodge and pleasure to be one of the first people to stay in this new lodge.
Will definitely be visiting again soon!!!"

"Very well build no expense spared. Could do with a little more lighting outside and maybe a tv in the bedroom."

"Cabin warm and comfortable albeit beds slightly too soft but that is personal preference."

"The Heron lodge was beautiful, the furnishings all appeared brand new and complimented the style of the lodge perfectly. I honestly dont have any negatives to say about the property and I cant wait to return to these lodges again. I have stayed at a lot of lodge properties and this has by far been my favourite."

"Best weekend we have had away kids loved it and hosts was amazing would recommend it to everyone"

"Lovely, peaceful location right beside the canal. The site is very well maintained and the owners are very friendly and welcoming, even bringing over sausages and steak from the farm. Lots of picturesque places to visit within easy driving distance, and lovely walks along the canal. We had a great week and will definitely return."

"Absolutely lovely! The lodge was spacious, clean and well maintained. The surroundings were peaceful with just the gentle passing of narrowboats along the canal. The hot tub and decking perfect for a summer evening. We arrived to find fresh eggs and milk. Later the owner popped round (along with the children, the dog and a lamb in tow) to make sure we’d settled in ok and delivered some fresh steaks and sausages. The personal touches of this family run business would be lost on a larger commercial operation. If you want a relaxing break away this comes highly recommended."

"We had a fantastic break. The lodge was exceptional and the owners were so helpful. Would most definitely recommend as the best lodge we’ve stayed in."

"As always Steve you do a great job going that extra mile to make everyone’s holiday special see you again next year Thanks John & Karen"

"Fabulous location of this very comfortable lodge where you sit on the huge deck area and watch the narrow boats go past. The accommodation is really comfortable and the owners are lovely people who responded really quickly when we had a small problem with the lodge. They even bring some fresh steak and sausages which were fabulous. If you want a chilled break in lovely surroundings give this a go."

"Beautiful surroundings right by the canal , if you want a quiet and peaceful weekend then this place is just that , was very clean and beautiful lodge ,the people who own it was lovely they even gave us some steak and sausages to cook on the barbecue, would definitely go back ?"

"Absolutely fabulous break…..location and lodge were excellent."

"Our 2nd visit to Lapwing. Beautiful spot right by the Shropshire Union Canal. Lodge was spotlessly clean, lovely fixtures/fittings/bedding/towels including towels and gowns for hot tub. Washing machine, dishwasher,oven,gas job and fridge freezer. Very rarely at lodges do you get outside sofas as well as table and chairs and such a big patio that you have at Winston Farm. Welcome pack was a nice gesture. The Mere at Ellesmere, Chick Castle, Chester Zoo and Llangollen all worth visiting. Only suggestions we could make was for more hangers or a set of draws inside wardrobes."

"Lovely holiday in comfortable lodge in peaceful, tranquil setting with beautiful views. A perfect spot to unwind."

"Such a lovely place to get away and the owners are great too"

"Fantastic, relaxing, just what was needed and glorious weather as well. Everything spot on will return."

"Lovely lodge, owners very friendly and helpful, peaceful tranquil location, great amenities in Ellesmere too, would thoroughly recommend"

"Lovely cabin in a lovely location right by the canal. Everything you need for a peaceful break. Well recommended."

"Absolutely beautiful setting. Situated right on the canal. Lovely tow path walks The owners left us eggs, biscuits and milk and then brought us sausages, lovely people."
