Dunham Massey & Little Bollington
We have just had two days walking in the Cheshire country side walking through the woods and exploring the local area, it’s a place I am not that familiar with so I had to use a map now there’s a first. The area is lovely and I was able to do a bit of coppicing and gather some walking stick staffs for witling through the cold winter nights “ oh sorry I wont be here will I, silly me”
Dunham Massey is a lovely park and house 18-c, it belongs to the National Trust so you have pay however the car park is cheap and that gets you in to the grounds and deer park but with all NT if you want to tour the house and Gardens you have to pay again. I know a bloody rip off but all the NT is.
We walked from there to the little hamlet of Little Bollington were there is a nice pub serving very good food “The Swan with two Nicks” but next door is the real little treasure that could be easily overlooked, it's a old world country farm house just opened as a B&B and tea rooms absolutely beautiful the type of place you would take your granny or favorite aunt the food is good the ambiance is wonderful the setting is fantastic and the people wonderful and charming. Next week they will be starting Sunday lunches that sound excellent. As you all know I do not give out recommendations out for eating establishments but this guy knows what he is talking about. Everything about the place is quality the bedrooms have four posters its well worth a visit.
So! it’s called the Ash Farm Country House in Little Bollington Cheshire
