Holgate Granary is in a peaceful private enclave, but close to local amenities. Looking a little tired,new pillows an advantage, curtain would help on French windows to avoid TV glare. Problem with WiFi was quickly rectified.

The most homely holiday cottage we've stayed in. So comfortable and spacious for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. Lovely walks from the door with fab hilly views. Recommend a walk up Pendle Hill if you're feeling energetic, the views are more than worth it! The cottage is way bigger than the pics show. Located out of the way but only 2 mins drive into Clitheroe so easy access to supermarkets and takeaways. Highly recommend Holgate's Granary and wouldn't hesitate to return. 5 ⭐
