Approached along a tree-lined driveway filled with wildflowers every Spring, West Mead Cottage simply oozes country charm while combining modern luxuries with extreme practicality. It is the perfect pied-a-terre for walkers, cyclists and dog owners as well as visitors seeking nothing more than a blissfully peaceful break. Morning sunshine floods through the windows of the cottage’s open plan living room where there’s a large comfy leather sofa, flat screen TV (with Sky package), fully fitted kitchen with eating area, and french doors leading to a seating area with views across fields. The bedroom has a king size bed, an en-suite with a large double walk-in shower, and a large fitted walk-in wardrobe. Everywhere is heated by efficient easy-to-operate electric radiators, plus an electric flame-effect log stove which creates a cosy glow to sit by in the evening. Outside there is a private cobbled courtyard with a decked area hosting a four-seater table with parasol, and a luxury touch spa hot tub which has ergonomic loungers for deliciously deep immersion. This courtyard is entirely private and secure. Everything at West Mead is user-friendly, and the kitchen is fully equipped! Next to the cottage there is masses of private off road parking which easily accommodates bike or canoe trailers as well as vehicles. Stacks of board games, free wifi (the area also enjoys 4G) and the coffee machine with a full selection of coffee pods. Please be aware that pre-wedding preparations are not accommodated.

West Mead Cottage is in the ancient village of Thornton Hough, set deep in the Wirral countryside. This idyllic, but central, location in the northwest of England is only 10 miles from Liverpool and Chester, an hour away from Manchester and Snowdonia, and two hours from the Peak District and the Lake District. It is, quite simply, the perfect base for every type of visitor: those who seek strenuous outdoor pursuits, dedicated shoppers, history and culture seekers and peace-loving potterers.
