Chirk Cottage is our one-bedroomed cottage semi-detached to the main farmhouse it shares our garden, we do have a separate enclosed Dog Exercise Field. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement there is an extra charge for this. The Rayner family purchased Hill House Farm in the 1940s, running it as a dairy farm until the late 1980s, when the dairy was sold off but the main farmhouse and brick barns were retained. We ran a B&B for 17 years before concentrating on self-catering holidays. We have two single storey self-catering properties both have three ensuite bedrooms, a large central living area and set in their own enclosed gardens - these are under a separate entry called Hill House Farm Cheshire Single Storey Properties.

I grew up in West Sussex and moved to Cheshire in the late 1990s when I met and married Nick, who was actually born in the farmhouse! I studied horses at college and ran my own riding school and livery yard before I moved to Cheshire. We ran a Livery Yard on site for nearly 20 years, we no longer have a livery yard, we have our own ponies and stabling is available for guests to bring their own horses if they wish, we have two stables for guest horses and a plenty of turnout during the Summer months so can cater for more horses if they are turned out.
