A lovely place for a couple to stay. We enjoyed our week, weather notwithstanding. The place was warm, nicely kitted out and private. The location was ideal given our connections with Barnoldswick. We will come again - perhaps in summer next time.

For my wife and I, this was a much needed break from the bustle of our usual lives. It reminded us how important it is to slow down and just be with each other. The horseshoe cottage was tranquility at its best, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere in a peaceful setting for sure. At night, we sat under the stars sipping champagne in the jacuzzi. The hosts/owners were helpful and friendly. The cottage well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, feeling like a 'home from home.' We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend them!
