The house has vaulted ceilings, cosy and well-appointed bedrooms (One Super King, one Double) and an outdoor space that will capture your imagination. Both beds are incredibly comfortable (Tempur Pro smartcool), featuring sumptuous duck-down duvets and a selection of pillows. All linens (including mattress toppers) are washed after every stay. The cottage is highly economical, sourcing 100% of its energy from renewable sources. If wishing to bring a dog, please enquire before booking. N.b.

About the Wirral The Wirral is a peninsula bounded to the west by the River Dee – overlooking Wales, to the east by River Mersey and to the north by the Irish Sea. The earliest evidence of human occupation of the Wirral dates from the Mesolithic period, around 7000 BC. Before the time of the Romans, the Wirral was inhabited by a Celtic tribe. After Roman and Anglo-Saxon occupation, towards the end of the 9th century, the Vikings began raiding the area and settled alongside the Dee side of the peninsula.
