A beautiful cottage, spacious and much bigger once you get there than you'd initially even think. Beautiful downstairs area and the bedrooms are great (particularly the en suite).

Our second visit to the cottage . Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. Only downside is nothing really walkable. However only a 5 to 10 mins drive into clitheroe which is a lovely place to visit. Plenty of shops, pubs and cafes . Also subway, KFC and Macdonald's 5 mins away
