Good cottage - just right for the two of us.No instruction for disposing of rubbish/recycling. Further from village than anticipated but right on the doorstep of RSPB reserve.Could do with leaving a pint of **** for new arrivals - just in case.

Wonderful setting as so close to Leighton Moss. Obviously good for trains. We made good use of those. Great walks, cafes in Silverdale and Leighton Moss.
