Great Central Place to Stay
Lovely accommodation and central for many attractions in this part of the country. The Barn is in a peaceful area and it was easy to get to everywhere we wanted. Adam was an exemplary host making sure we had everything we needed and were happy with the accommodation. Couldn't have asked for more.

Arrived at this beautiful venue to a much appreciated hamper of breakfast items, ideal for us as we had just landed back in UK so no time to shop. Found property easy with good directions given the day before we arrived. Great facilities and a very well appointed property with everything we needed for our stay, easy check in and out process, would definitley stay there again.

Lovely Little hidaway
Nice overall stay. Beautifully furnished, tastfully decorated Quiet in the evenings but woken early both days of our stay as on the climb out flight path from Manchester Airport. Fine if you are used to being near airports. Breakfast very basic, and an extra handtowel would have been nice. Paid a cleaning charge but then was expected to strip the beds and empty all the bins. Hosts were warm and friendly Overall, a good experiance, just a couple of little niggles which didn't really spoil the experience.

50th birthday
The Croft was exactly as listed and photos. Set in beautifully kept grounds. Just a short drive to Knutsford and beautiful tatton park. We took the train from Knutsford into Chester and another day, out to Manchester. Both very easy journeys.. Everything was great from start to finish. A very pleasant stay. We would highly recommend this property! Thank you Adam and Caroline. (Also for taking in the bits we had bought in town).

The property was perfect for 2 adults . Very attractive barn conversion in the grounds of the owners home but it felt private. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We were really pleasantly surprised to have eggs, milk , yogurt, bread , jam , muesli and butter left for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to others

Would struggle to find any faults with Adam & Caroline’s property. Great location, spotless @ COVID safe, great hosts, there if needed but invisible if not needed & yummy eggs if it’s not too cold for laying apparently. Thank you for everything & you no doubt are very proud of what you have created for visitors like me. Keep safe Dave

About the host

Hosted by Adam & Caroline

Host profile image
We are a family of five - two adults and three fast growing boys, plus a dog called Oskar, two cats and two pet KuneKune pigs, Wilbur and George.

Why they chose this property

Although it looks old, we built the Croft in 2010 using a traditional oak frame from Border Oak in Hereford. We added the barn a few years later and convered this to guest accomodation in 2019.
We are in a lovely location on the edge of Lower Peover village and within walking distance of two great pubs and a well stocked village shop. Knutsford with its boutique shops, cafes, bars and restaurants is less than 10 mins away as is Tatton Park.
For guests attending weddings, Oak Barn is just a few minutes from several wedding venues including The Oak Tree of Peover, Merrydale Manor, Colshaw Hall and Owen House.
For business travellers, we are only a few minutes from Barclays Technology Campus at Radbroke Hall and Booths Park in Toft, Knutsford, and only 25 mins from Manchester Business Park and organisations gathered around Manchester Airport.
Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Manchester and Chester are all within very easy reach by car or train.
Oak Barn is around 10 minutes from both Junctions 18 and 19 on the M6, and close to the M56 too, so ideally located for those looking for a peaceful stopover while enroute to Scotland, The Lakes, North Wales and the South.
Manchester City Centre is a 35 min drive, or hop on the train from Plumley (5 mins away) and get the train straight to Piccadilly, or change in Altrincham (and visit the famous Altrincham market) and get the Metro into town.
Manchester Airport is 25 mins away.
