Perched on a quiet corner of a working farm, Polaris looks out across rolling fields to the Cheshire countryside. It's the one for big skies, wide daytime views, sunsets from the sunken bath and dark stargazing. Tarporley's pubs, Beeston Castle and Delamere are all a short hop away and Chester and Liverpool are close enough for a day out.
