The Dog Inn is the best community Pub ever and being opposite the cottage is so good . Not far to walk home
Joanne
So convenient for exploring Lancashire, Yorkshire and beyond. Just off the motorway but so peaceful in a real community friendly village with a community run pub and shop. This was our third stay here and we love it.
