Where wonderful things happen!

The historic village of Church Minshull is a quaint, typical Cheshire village, with many chocolate box black and white cottages at its centre. 

The journey towards Old House and the Loft Suite, unfolds in the beauty of the surrounding area before you've even reached your destination. A large area in the east of the village, falls within the Weaver Valley "Area of Special County Value". 

The village hosts The Badger Inn which has earned a wide ranging reputation as a destination pub, with diners coming from far afield to enjoy its food and ambience of its timbered beams, log fires and beer garden.  

Deep in the heart of the Cheshire plain, one of the most popular rambling destinations in the UK, you'll find The Loft Suite, a luxurious gem set against an industrial and dramatic natural backdrop.
This beautifully converted space is dotted with exquisite details of up-cycling, recycling and blending the new with the old.
This is a place to relax, whilst being at one with nature. You will experience the fresh air, the evenings sat on the jetty and watching the Kingfishers swooping past. 

The Loft Suite

This is beyond your indulgent dreams. More of an experience than accommodation, with full facilities such as electricity, high-speed WiFi, a Smart TV, a small kitchenette with copper kettle, toaster and fridge.
This beautifully converted room is dotted with exquisite details of up-cycling, recycling and blending the new with the old, such as the ultra chic Christian Lacroix birds sinfonia wallpaper, off-set against the historic beams reclaimed from the old coaching house below. Or the wonderfully smooth tactile larchwood plank flooring, reclaimed from a demolished gymnasium in Poland, against the modern etched glass sliding door of the bathroom.
The additional facilities include a hair dryer and although no room for a wardrobe, there is a retro styled clothes hanger and a small chest of drawers sympathetically decoupaged.
A custom made handcrafted padded headboard, backs the king size bed with a medium/firm memory foam mattress and the finest Egyptian 1000 count cotton bed linen, covered by the super king sized duck feather duvet. The fantastic gold-tiled en-suite shower room is the epitome of chic luminescence.
The Loft suite sleeps two adults on a beautifully bespoke king size bed with super King sized duck feather duvet and Egyptian cotton 1000 count bedding - it's not only the lungs full of fresh air that'll help you have a gorgeous night's sleep here. Beside the bed are retro styled pendant lights , as well as the exotic wrap-around wallpapered ceiling. On one side of the bedroom space, the French doors lead out onto the Juliet balcony which affords views across roof tops of the adjacent chateau-styled house and the black and white timbers of Old House. Stepping up to Velux windows, the views take the eye down the the sloping gardens to the River Weaver beyond.
On the other side of the bedroom space, through an etched glass door, is a lavish bathroom with flushing toilet and wash hand basin. The highlight of this space is the extra large walk-in gold tiled shower with large shower head. The living space fits in a small kitchenette with sink and hot and cold running water. Don't worry about packing your Cornflakes, though - cereals, granola, Greek yoghurt, bread, jam, butter, milk, coffee, tea and orange juice are all provided in the price. The ‘pop-up’ breakfast bar is ideal for indulging in the locally selected meal options, whilst perched on the retro/industrial styled stools.
The green faux velvet chairs to sit in front of the Smart TV - perfect for watching a movie with your beloved after a day of adventuring in the surrounding countryside.

The owners of this Cheshire wonder have thought of absolutely everything, including how to delicately sit their high-end Loft Suite against the backdrop of a typical English countryside rural idyll. Everything about this suite is wonderful, from the structure itself, to the surrounding gardens and river frontage.
This is a place to relax and be in the moment, whilst being at one with nature.
You'll even spot the owners taking in the views across the lawns from time to time!
We believe that once you've experienced the fresh air, the evenings sat on the jetty watching the Kingfishers swooping past, or the elegant swans gliding through the water, followed by a resplendent, restful night's sleep, you won't want to leave.
And on a lovely balmy evening, why not take your glass of fizz outside and take advantage of the lovely Adirondack seating overlooking the jetty area, or toast some marshmallows on the fire pit? The owners provide some wood to get you started. Follow the golden hoggin path beyond the lower lawn to the Retreat summerhouse perched above the River Weaver below, sitting resplendent with its own veranda area, but nothing is quite so impressive as the craftsmanship in the overlooking structure of the magnificent elegant historic double arched 17th century stone bridge. 

You will have access to the entire Loft Suite and grounds during your stay.
