Warm and cosy in a beautiful and peaceful setting we will certainly recommend to all our friends. Would benefit from a small freezer section in the fridge and a hoover otherwise 10/10 for everything else. Love the friendly hens on the door step in the mornings.

Beautiful scenery and an amazing amount of wildlife in one of the loveliest areas of Lancashire. The cottage was warm and cosy with the added benefit of a washing machine and dryer. The only improvement that could be made is a freezer compartment in the fridge for ice cubes and a small hoover. All that said it's by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in over many years of travelling and we will certainly be booking again in the future.
