Absolutely! Your dog will be very welcome to stay in our cottages over the festive season  – don’t forget to add them on when booking your stay. We welcome either one large dog or two small dogs per cottage – please see our dog policy for more information.

Your chosen cottage will be available for you to arrive from 3pm, and your departure time will be 10am.

Of course, multiple cottages can be booked to allow larger families or groups to celebrate together.

Booking a combination of cottages can also provide you a larger dining space to all come together:

• Poole & Empress Cottages can be booked together, allowing up to 8 people to dine together in Poole Cottage
• Beckett Cottage benefits from a large dining table which can seat up to 20 people, and is ideal when booked in conjunction with another cottage.
• Malbanc Cottage can accommodate up to 16 people around the dining table.

Yes! We will have a Christmas Tree decorated ready for your arrival, and a beautiful wreath will welcome you through to your cottage.

Of course you can. All our cottages have a fully equipped kitchen, ensuring that you can escape to Combermere Abbey for Christmas, but still enjoy the luxuries of your freshly prepared Christmas dinner.

Sitting on the Cheshire/Shropshire border, we are blessed with a wide range of pubs and restaurants close by, however the Combermere Arms offers a very local option, being just 500 yards from the entrance to the estate.

Yes, you would be welcome to arrange a supermarket delivery for your provisions – we request that these are arranged for once you have arrived to your cottage.

Several of our cottages feature a woodburning stove in the living rooms:

• Empress
• Cotton
• Wellington

Our other cottages feature either an electric or gas fireplace.
