Sanderling (5)

Deep in the Cheshire countryside, with only the bulrushes and birds for company, is this incredible destination for a unique self-catering break.

Promising to impress both adults and children alike, this glass fronted, quirky and compact holiday gem is equipped with all the essentials for a relaxing stay whilst floating (fully moored!) on the peaceful waters of the Shropshire Union Canal.

Head down the pontoon and step aboard your patio deck and into the pod, where you will find an open plan lounge (with sofa bed) and wall mounted 32-inch Smart television. The kitchenette is fully equipped with crockery, utensils, kettle, toaster microwave, ceramic hob and integrated electric oven. At the rear of the pod, is a modern, comfy double bedroom, with hanging space and a separate shower room, with heated towel rail and toilet.

Tea, coffee, bed linen, towels, hand soap, shower gel, shampoo and a hair dryer are all provided-just don't forget to bring your old bread for feeding your new neighbours!

Externally, a narrow deck runs along both sides of the pod and is fully enclosed with railings and a gate, meaning you can sit back and relax and enjoy the open skies and abundance of wildlife that can be found in the Marina.

If you don't fancy cooking during your stay, the on-site Boathouse Cafe provides a good selection of tasty food for breakfast and lunches and is open for evening drinks and dining on the weekends. Please check with your on-site host for opening times, and note they are closed on Mondays.
