Voted the Best Self Catering Holiday Provider 2014, at the Visit Lancashire awards, this cosy cottage has been thoughtfully converted to provide superb facilities over one floor, yet it still retains the immense character and charm of the original dwelling. Modern styling and elegant furnishings are evident throughout the accommodation in this Lancashire cottage, which features a spacious living room with crook beams and exposed brickwork, a stylish kitchen, a lovely bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a delightful private garden.
The owners have private freshwater ponds, where free fishing is available. Nearby there are many interesting things to do and see including the Cedar Farm Galleries, Rufford Old Hall and Formby Point, which boasts a large area of beach, sand dunes and pine woods, which are still home to the red squirrel. This Lancashire cottage makes a great touring base, with the Lake District, the western Dales and the Trough of Bowland just an hour’s drive. A fabulous Lancashire cottage, and a perfect romantic retreat whatever the time of year. Note: This property can be booked with Ref 12303 to accommodate 6 people.

The stay is absolutely comfortable. The cottage is very clean and tidy, supplied with all needed utensils and crockery so no worry of making simple dinner after a day. There are also farms and shops around so it is not just quiet and cosy stay but also convenient nice places to spend time with.

The property was easy to find, parking next to it, roomy, homely, warm and excellent WI-Fi. Especially pleasing was the lighting and switch positions, two in the living room/kitchen area and two in the bedroom- one next to the bed. The property had good connections to the motorways in both directions to explore Lancashire, Cumbria and cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool. I would recommend this property as ideal for singles or doubles who like to stay next to a farmyard, just off a decent but quiet road.
