The cottage is very clean and has everything you need, the little garden is perfect for sitting out with the dog especially as it was very mild for November. We did a few riverside walks from the cottage and the shops and pubs are so close you donât have to use your car. Would love to return sometime. Deborah and Peter,Bolton

The attention to detail is so good and has everything you would want while away from home. Definitely coming back as one of the nicest places and areas we have stayed in. Excellent value for the price. Parking a little tricky but once we know how to get into the road the back way it was ok.
