You are on a working farm so no where to walk with dog and the garden was not enclosed so had nowhere to let her out. Had to put on lead every time. We struggled a bit with heating when we turned it up it would say heating in 30 mins etc but it always reverted back to 18. Radiator in en-suite room never came on at all.

Absolutely fantastic home from home cottage. Great lay out, with everything you will possibly need, and so much space . Views across the fields were so relaxing and only a 10 minute drive to the motorway or to the village of Caton where there is a Co-op, pub and garage . The walk up Clougha Pike is worth it and is on your doorstep.
