The Old Sorting Office, Flintshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About The Old Sorting Office

The Old Sorting Office is a well-presented holiday home located in the lovely village of Hawarden in Flintshire. Tucked away behind a post office, this property is perfectly situated for a romantic retreat while giving couples easy access to the village centre and amenities.

Walk into a spacious open-plan living space where you'll find a sitting area with a beautiful feature fireplace you can sit by as you watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV, cook up delicious meals to enjoy dinner dates in the dining area, then let the food settle with a warm soak in the hot tub where you'll get lost in deep conversations and gaze up at the stars. As the day winds down, take a rinse or a bath in the bathroom, then slip under the freshly-washed linens of a double bed to catch your rest.

Head out to the village shop next door to stock up on your groceries and essentials, and if you don't feel like cooking, walk across the road to the Fox & Grapes or The Glynn Arms pub for a hearty meal. In the quaint village of Hawarden you'll also be able to visit the beautiful ruins of Hawarden Old Castle and take a walk around the stunning woodlands of Hawarden Estate.

Book yourself an afternoon tea or lunch at the world famous Gladstone Library a short walk away from the post office or if you fancy a longer stroll pop down to Hawarden Estate Farm Shop and enjoy the very many delights they have to offer. Further afield, catch a bus for a short journey to the wonderful walled city of Chester where you can visit the beautiful Chester Cathedral, if you're lucky enough too, catch the races at Chester Racecourse - the oldest racecourse in the world - have a picnic in the verdant and blooming Grosvenor Park, and end the day with a trip to the new Chester Market.

The Old Sorting Office Reviews

Beverley

Lovely hot tub. Spiral staircase was a bit too open plan. As the owner suggests. Fanrastic location. Great welcome pack of goodies, superb facilities

Just returned from a 3 night stay and weve had an amazing time. On arrival we were greeted with a small hamper of goodies. This included Welsh cakes and chocolates. We absolutely loved the spiral staircase and the little decorative ornaments throughout. The hot tub was brilliant and was really big especially for just 2 people. We will definitely be booking again.

Deborah

Nice place to stay. Loved the park across the road. I found the directions for heating the hot tum confusing. It was set to 38 but I was trying to increase to 40, directions need to be re printed as have faded. every thing else fine. Loved the Bara Brith!

Gilbert

David and mark, are so lovely

Charlie

A lovely little gem. Some nice walks around the area. Chester and Wrexham only 20 minutes away. Loved this place.

This is a fantastic property to stay in and I will definitely be going back

Clean, well appointed property. Grear area with good facilities. Handy for Chester on a frequent local bus service, nearby rail station. We really enjoyed our stay.

Robert

We had a lovely stay. Cottage is wellequipped and comfortable. The owners were responsive with our questions. The Old Sorting Office is set in a beautiful village with a fantastic park opposite and 2 vibrant pubs.

Alexandra

We had a great stay at The Old Sorting Office, the location was perfect and the cottage was really comfortable and the hot tub a bonus. We visited both pubs in the village and went on lovely walks in the park across the road. Also made a visit to the coast which was about 40 mins from the cottage. Would definitely recommend to others.

A delightful cottage in a lovely setting. The hot tub is luxurious 'bonus'

Michael

Lovely property, comfortable and everything provided for your stay. Also very convenient being attached to the Post Office with a well stocked shop. Hawarden is a lovely village and the people very friendly. Hopefully will visit again.

Richard

We had a great stay at the Old Sorting Office. It was an ideal base for a short break. Everything was as described in the listing. The welcome basket of treats from the hosts was great. Wed happily book again, if we are back in the area.

Jackie

The cottage was a beautiful place very well equipped. Washing machine microwave kettle oven toaster every pot pan and dish imaginable

Claire

We had a fabulous stay. The cottage was so homely and comfortable with everything we needed, including Welsh cakes and barra brith! The hot tub was great as was the secure garden for our dogs. Wonderful walks on our doorstep, and a fabulously warm welcome at the Fox and Grapes across the road where they serve delicious meals and lovely cold beer. We'll definitely be back.

Rochelle

Lovely cosy cottage. Enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very helpful.

Lovely spot . Quaint and unique property and would definitely recommend and have done so to friends . We will wish to return as had to check out after one night due to unforeseen circumstances. Only comment from key instructions is to prompt guest to check spam folders for email . We didnt ! Ended up phoned on day .. small thing

Fantastic accommodation. Loved the style of the place, great location and two cracking pubs. Plenty of walking for the dog. Will be coming back

Very nice but the stairs are unsafe. Clearly not dog friendly they need a backing on each step and carpet to stop slipping. A stair gate could be an option. The patio needs relaying with non slip slabs but it is also very uneven. Wall paper should be taken off as in places it is bubbling. The wall could be replastered and painted. With a small amount of work this would be a top venue and would warrant a higher price. I would return

Highly recommended . Just had a fantastic short break. The cottage is a home from home, extremely clean, a well equipped kitchen, and an amazing hot tub and enclosed garden was great for the dogs. The little touches tea, coffee, milk, bottled water, bara blith and Welsh Cakes a really nice thought. The only thing to note are the taps in the kitchen are the wrong way round hot tap is on the right.

Kirsty

Really lovely place to stay. Lots of lovely walks nearby. Wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Had a great stay at this lovely cottage. Couldnt fault anything, very clean, comfortable and very spacious. The extra treats were a bonus, Bara Brith was so yummy we bought more from next door to take back with us. There was a lovely walk for our dog on our doorstep, Howarden Old Park, very scenic and vast. The hot tub was great for relaxing in, great for the aches and pains, it was so good we are wanting one!!

Simone

Really nice place to stay, hot tub is wonderful even if I did mess it up. don't press the silver button. recently refurbished to a mostly high standard, I also refurb so am really picky Great selection of glasses although be aware not all fizz glasses match which might leave one of you with more fizz than the other. The towel are so lovely I went out an bought some for myself. The mattress is soft, I had just had a proper twinge on my back so it was rubbish for me, but others might appreciate it. only downside is the parking, it is a dedicated space which is well labelled, however people ignore this and park in front, this happened on consecutive days, not sure how to resolve this

Gillian

Overall a lovely quiet place in a lovely quiet village. Walks on the doorstep, with to good pubs that allow dogs and serve food. The Farm shop 34 mile a way is well worth a visit.

This cottage is a hidden gem and I loved my stay. Very cosy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a relaxing break in the historic village of Hawarden. There is plenty to see and do locally and then enjoy a relaxing evening in the beautiful little private garden included a soak in the hot tub. The cottage is very clean and well maintained and the Post Office next door has everything you need including delicious cakes. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful house in a lovely location

Andrea

Lovely quirky little cottage. Perfect for two people. Off road parking behind the property. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you will need. Hot tub is lovely and the back garden is fully secure for dogs. Perfectly located for Cheshire Oaks and Chester. Lovely dog walks locally. The Post Office next door is very handy. Would highly recommend The Glynne Arms for food.

Trevor

Very pleased with the accommodation and cleanliness. A very central position. We will stay there again.

Property was lovely. Beautiful inside. Information pack was thorough. The only negative was the hot tub was very chlorinated, so we couldnt use it.
