The overall impression is ok, the rooms are rather comfortable and furnished in a faux-elegant, but nevertheless consistent, style. The bed is a bit small but acceptable, bathrooms are very nice. Also, the location is excellent as a base for exploring the Forest of Bowland and other parts of Lancashire. However, there were several drawbacks leading to a weak rating: - Contrary to advertisement, there is no dishwasher - The internet speed is extremely poor, so that uploads of photos to the cloud after a days wal kwere virtually impossible. We used our mobile data volume most of the time - The Nespresso mashine is broken, so we never had coffee in the morning - The kitchen provided most essentials, however, quality of the instruments (knives, ladles etc.) was rather poor, and pots and pans only came in mini sizes (so that cooking for more than 2 persons will presumably be difficult) - Although there is no dishwasher, there was virtually no washing-up liquid provided (bottle was almost empty) - The cottage is located immediately next to the A6 (meaning, approx. 5m next to it). The bedrooms are located at the back though, so we were not much disturbed by car noise Overall, we think that the location has much potential if only a tiny bit of effort were invested in such details such as internet speed, working appliances, and correct listing of available gadgets.
