Stayed here three times now. Proper home from home house within a great location for exploring either Lancashire or Yorkshire and not far from Blackpool or Alton Towers. Would highly recommend.

A great place to stay. Spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The photos hide a very large lounge, dining area and kitchen. More than enough space for six persons. The bedrooms were more than adequate although hanging space in the front twin room would have been appreciated. We will be more than happy to return for a further visit.
