“This 17th-century manor, once a nunnery, struck me as a distinctive choice, set amid gardens and a private lake. I appreciate the blend of historic charm with updated amenities, and its dog-friendly policy is a plus. With both Manchester and Chester within easy reach, it feels like a solid base for exploring the region.”
