A lovely warm, cosy & spacious place to stay. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable., there was a lovely pack of goodies on arrival. They were very responsive to queries too. Everything was spotlessly clean. The location of the property is a stone's throw from Aldi & there is a Sainsbury's, Booths & Tesco in Clitheroe centre a short drive away. We had a great walk round the grounds of Clitheroe Castle. The views from the top are amazing! We also walked the Pendle Sculpture Trail & went to Burgerley Park where there was another Sculpture Trail. Clitheroe town centre has a lovely mix of independent shops & a great market on a Tuesday & Thursday. 5 out of 5 star holiday. We have booked again for November.

Very comfortable and warm. Everything you could want. A peaceful location and a good centre for the Forest of Bowland. Television reception is not good but we read books instead.
