  • Robin

    The cottage is so well equipped and comfortable. Great kitchen / dining in which we loved playing games and sitting as our little Boy baked. Host was so welcoming and gave us good advice for a good walk which we managed. We recommend the pub in the village and used the bakery and shop. Great base and we enjoyed Grange over Sands and managed a day trip to Blackpool. Would highly recommend!!!

  • Nicky

    A cosy, spacious and very comfortable cottage. Great location. Very helpful owner who popped in on Friday evening and answered queries about accessible walks. We all had a fabulous time and would definitely come again.

  • Wendy

    Clean, spacious and fully equipped with a lovely secure garden. Julie (host) was very welcoming on arrival and provided a lovely welcome pack.
