Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting, and just a short walk down to the hamlet of Barley with its lovely cafe and two great pubs. Great for walking

A beautiful cottage with fantastic uninterupted views for many miles to the south. The beautiful Pendle Hill is to the north of the property offering more stunning views of the Lancashire countryside including the Forrest of Bowland.The cottage is quite beautiful and three ensuite shower rooms are perfect. No queueing after a day's walking here. The hosts, Veronica and Jeremy are really welcoming and helpful but never intrusive. Two pubs for meals a short drive or walk in Barley. The Bay Horse in the next village very good. Nelson is a short drive for a supermarket.WE WILL BE BACK.
