Had everything we needed and more. The views are wonderful and the property was very clean. The welcome pack was a lovely touch with wine, milk, tea, coffee, jam, biscuits and croissants. There are so many walks around here, one we loved was Whitewell Stepping Stones. We also had a day out to the Lake District and enjoyed Coniston Waters. Just be aware the main bedroom is right on the main road through the village, so you can be woken early by traffic if a light sleeper. But other than that we had a wonderful time!

Cottage was really comfy and plenty of equipment available to keep us going. Cottage is in a great position for getting around with trips out to Garstang, Lytham St. Anneâs, Lytham, and Stydd Gardens. Shireburn Arms and Aspinall Arms were great for food, as was Millieâs Cafe just a short walk away. Stonyhurst College was also worth a visit and again just a short walk from the cottage.

With 5 adults we all wanted our own wash/toilet facilities, which were excellent. The bedrooms were very comfortable, allowing good sleep. Lounge, eating area was more than adequate. We do not have any negatives. Thank you to the owners who have thought of visitors needs/comforts providing such within a nicely decorated home. The area is lovely to explore, or to just chill.
