We were lucky with the weather, and so was able to have some evening drinks in the garden. We had a lovely Sunday roast in the Coach House pub which is a 5 minute walk away. There are several good walks and points of interest within the local area. The owners left us some lovely treats, and visited us shortly after arrival to make sure we had settled in and had no problems. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Beehive cottage.

Very comfortable and cosy inside with all mod cons provided. Very comfortable bed in a good sized bedroom. The shower was great. Plenty of room on the landing to store suitcases and bags. Can park car right outside cottage. Great location for the Dales, Lakes and Bowland/Pendle/Clitheroe area. Very pleasant owners who popped in after we had arrived to make sure all was well. Had a great holiday greatly enhanced by the lovely accommodation. Also a pleasure dealing with the Sykes company. Very easy and straightforward with good customer communication. Thank you.
