Cottage overview

Perched on the fringe of the village of Bunbury in Cheshire, Bunbury House invites you into a world where old world character meets refined comfort with easy access to glorious countryside landscapes and the historic city of Chester.

Whether you are planning a family getaway or slipping off for a weekend break of good food and walking, Bunbury House exudes English charm and genuine warmth. The house dates back to the mid-19th century and has undergone a remarkable restoration, resulting in a beautifully furnished period home with touches of elegance. 

Warm up by the electric fire in one of the two living rooms, prepare delicious meals in the fully-equipped kitchen-diner or enjoy long summer evenings with good wine on the outdoor lounge in the landscaped garden. Five gorgeous bedrooms await, four with double beds alongside one cosy twin, all featuring Egyptian cotton sheets and sumptuous mattresses.

The house sits on the edge of the village of Bunbury, where local life hums nearby: a Co Op store for essentials, a Thursday mobile fishmonger, a coffee shop offering twice-weekly wood fired pizzas and the warm welcome of the Nag’s Head pub with hearty weekend breakfasts and a good choice of real ales.

Nearby places such as Tattenhall, Tarporley and Nantwich offer country pubs, cafés and a lively Saturday farmers’ market for food lovers to explore. Across the landscape, the trails of the Sandstone Ridge and the Bickerton Hills invite exploration and gentle adventure. For a change of pace, the historic city of Chester lies around 23km away – walk the Roman walls, explore independent arcades, or spend a day with the family at Chester Zoo.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway or simply stepping away from the city for a short break, Bunbury House offers a chic and beautiful holiday home in the pretty county of Cheshire. 

On the edge of the charming village of Bunbury in Cheshire, Bunbury House offers guests a front-row seat to some of England’s most enchanting countryside. This beautiful corner of Cheshire blends the warmth of village life with effortless access to sweeping green landscapes, historic treasures and indulgent food experiences.

In Bunbury itself you will find a Co-Op convenience store for daily essentials, a mobile fishmonger calling by on a Thursday lunchtime, a coffee shop serving wood-fired pizzas twice a week, a traditional chippy for takeaways and hearty weekend breakfasts at the beloved Nag’s Head pub.

Indeed, food lovers will feel instantly at home here. Surrounding villages such as Tattenhall, Tarporley and Nantwich brim with inviting country pubs, charming cafés and acclaimed dining spots that champion seasonal, local produce. Whether you're enjoying a roast in a 16th-century inn or browsing Nantwich’s lively Saturday farmers market, there’s always a flavour to savour.

This is also superb setting for visiting the rolling hills and heather-topped ridges of the Sandstone Trail and Bickerton Hills — a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These gently undulating paths are perfect for ramblers and serious walkers alike, where serene woodland and the distant hum of birdlife offer pure countryside escapism. 

For a dose of culture and urban charm, the historic city of Chester lies around 23km away. Walk the ancient Roman walls, explore its independent shops and elegant arcades, or visit the acclaimed Chester Zoo for a family day out. Just a 20-minute drive away, Carden Park Hotel offers two championship golf courses and a luxurious spa, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure in this timeless slice of rural England.
