Laundry Cottage

Arley, Cheshire

Laundry Cottage has undergone extensive refurbishment, transforming the former Laundry and, more recently, the Estate worker's accommodation into a contemporary holiday home, boasting a bright and airy feel throughout.

On the ground floor, enjoy the cosy snug with a sumptuous sofa and television making it the perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring the grounds. The tastefully furnished sitting room has comfortable seating for all guests to get together and enjoy the wood burning stove. The well-equipped, modern dining kitchen leads out to the rear patio overlooking the courtyard.

On the first floor are the cottage's three bedrooms, two of which have super-king size beds which can be configured to twin full size singles, offering flexible accommodation for families with children, or couples holidaying together.

Arley Hall and Gardens is a stunning historic house and wedding venue with gardens open to the public for much of the year. Guests staying at Laundry Cottage have complimentary access to all of the facilities on-site, including the award-winning manicured gardens, plant nursery, cafe and children's play zone. Just in front of the courtyard area is The Grove, a well-established arboretum and a woodland walk covering approximately 6-7 acres. Arley is conveniently positioned in a very peaceful rural spot, yet is not far from the M6 and M56 motorways, making it easily accessible for weekend breaks. The area is perfect for countryside walks and many of Cheshire's finest gardens and stately homes are nearby. If you fancy venturing further afield, the walled city of Chester, with its famous zoo can be reached in 30 minutes' drive. Alternatively, Manchester and Liverpool are great destinations for a day trip and both can be reached in under an hour.
