We felt so comfortable and at home in Samantha's gite. It was lovely and warm when we arrived tired, late on a very cold day. It was easy to relax there as everything was exactly as described, immaculately clean and tidy and beautifully decorated. Samantha and Jasmine are fabulous with local information, provided quickly and freely, with photos, and great suggestions for places to eat. Situated almost halfway between Liverpool and Manchester, Samantha and Jasmine's gite is well-placed if you want to use public transport for traveling to either city instead of taking a car. It's an easy walk to the bus from the gite and a short drive to a local train station; the local shops are also close by if you need to purchase anything. Overall, we enjoyed a happy and comfortable stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.
