The Hollies Forest Lodges

Set among the fields and hedgerows of rural Cheshire near Tarporley, The Hollies Forest Lodges offer a quiet, grown-up sort of escape — timber retreats raised into the treeline, far from the hum of anywhere in particular. Wake slowly, throw open the doors to green stillness, and let a whole weekend unspool at woodland pace. It's the kind of independent, family-rooted place that understands the countryside isn't just scenery but a mood. Come for the hush, the long evenings, and the rare pleasure of hearing absolutely nothing at all.

An independent, highly-rated Cheshire stay set in genuine open country — exactly the memory-making rural retreat our readers would happily drive an hour for, and tell a friend about afterwards.
