Well equipped, clean and comfortable, nicely decorated. Small but fine for 2 people and 1 dog. I hope we stay there again.

The accommodation is very comfortable and well appointed. Itâs in a peaceful spot, with a delightful garden and superb views. It was great meeting Sam! We enjoyed staying somewhere that felt remote, yet was only 15 minutesâ drive to lively Clitheroe and many wonderful villages.

Coming from Manchester the peace and quiet was wonderful. Hope everyone gets to see the night sky without the light pollution. Just a couple of tips - a companion set would be useful for the fire and just a small chair the bedroom to put things on. Overall a great stay and wonderful chill out thank you.
