Loved our stay in Walkden! The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood with a great backyard and solarium. The private secret garden was stunning and great for walks, picnics, lounging around or meditating. Even though it was the end of august, the weather got chilly at night and my family loved sitting by the fireplace at night in the living room. Marie was a great host, and made everything easy.
Location:
The house is within a very short (2-3min) walking distance to a convenience store and cafe and within a 15 minute min walk to the Ellesmere center. The center is not much for shopping but has a large TESCO, ALDI, pharmacy, Costa Coffee and some fast food restaurants such as KFC, McDonalds, and Subway.
For shopping, you can drive or cab it to Trafford Center which is only 20 min away.
The town is also close to Worsley, which is a nice village to spend an afternoon in and the Worsley Old Hall is a must see!
