The Loft at the Lake in Littleborough receives high praise for its well-appointed interiors, stunning lake views, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the warm welcome, the property's cleanliness, and the proximity to local eateries and hiking opportunities. The comfort and facilities are also commended, although minor inconveniences are noted. Overall, the property offers a delightful stay with thoughtful touches from the hosts.
Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and well-maintained, with one specifically calling it 'spotlessly clean'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with its proximity to Hollingworth Lake, local restaurants, and good access to Manchester. The dedicated parking space is a valued convenience.
Guests find the property comfortable, mentioning a warm atmosphere and a comfortable bed. One guest noted the property was lovely and warm despite cold weather, indicating good comfort levels.
Facilities are generally praised, including the mention of a Nespresso machine and ample space. However, minor issues such as the lack of a 2-pin socket and a high bathroom mirror slightly affect the score.
While guests speak highly of the host's responsiveness and the provision of facilities like a Nespresso machine upon request, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

Itâs a great place to stay when visiting friends and family or just exploring. Maybe not for you if you have mobility issues as itâs up many stairs and no lift, beautiful though with everything you need and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Loft. Well located beside Hollingworth Lake. Good access to Manchester via rail from nearby Smithy Bridge station. Littleborough nearby for supermarket supplies. Plenty of eateries, good coffee and plant based food options within walking distance. Matthew, our host, made sure that we had everything we needed. If the opportunity presents we will stay at The Loft again. Highly recommended.

Couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome from the owner.
