It is a very well equipped cottage with fantastic views. We enjoyed the open plan living space where we could look out over the quarry lake. The beds were comfortable and I slept very well. The hot tub was a great addition. We thought the location was also great and followed the directions left by the homeowner to walk down to the nearby canal, which was a pleasant walk especially with the beautiful autumn colours at the moment. We also visited the local pub at Over Kellet and had a fantastic meal there. This cottage was a great find and we would definitely stay here again.

Came here with our two spaniels, lovely secure garden and balcony areas. Hot tub is a must if you stay here, very clean and views are to die for whilst soaking in the tub. Very well kept cottage and we will most definitely be back again. Thank you.

A few things need updating which I have mentioned to the owner amongst other things.But it would not stop me booking again.
