From the moment we entered the apartment we felt immediately at home. It has all the facilities you need, the most comfortable bed, cosy lounge with views and such a central location. We received a lovely surprise on arrival with cheese, wine, chocolates and other treats which were very much appreciated. We found Clitheroe to be one of the friendliest towns we have ever visited and is fast becoming the 'Food Capital Of Lancashire ' well deserved. Great place! This is a five star apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed our week here and hope to return as soon as possible! Thank you David and Pauline for your hospitality. Donna & Steve
