Paul and Michelle having met and been together for 21 years, refurbished the property to accommodate guests in their home . 2 guests only in their own part of the property. Private lounge/dining room fully equipped for self catering purposes, although light breakfast included.( The hosts doing all the clearing up!) Michelle brought up her 3 children here over the last 38 years , whilst running the village store/ Post Office which closed in 1996. On a summers evening guests can sit in their own front garden and watch the amazing sunsets over the Bridge Water Canal. A cool glass of wine in hand! Dunham Massey Park is only a 10 minute walk away, Paul has produced his own , "Wainwright Walk" for guests to enjoy a circular walk which includes the canal as well as the park. The Swan is only a 3 minute stroll up the lane with beams and open fires in winter time , outside dining in the warmer weather. Serving a selection of craft beers , featured in "CAMRA" as well as an excellent menu with their speciality being fresh fish delivered daily. There are many other places of interest to visit in our area that we can tell you about.
The Old Post Office is located in a quiet lane on the Dunham Massey National Trust estate. Has views across to the Bridgewater canal and Dunham Massey Hall. Two pubs within a 3 and 10 minute walk serving good food and drinks all day. A 10 minute walk into the Park and if you wish to go through the Park into Dunham village ( 30 minutes) there is the "Lavender" tea rooms and the Axe and cleaver pub. A circular walk along the canal and returning through the park takes about an hour.
