About this property
Nestled in the pretty rural village of Stalmine, situated between Hambleton and Knott-End in the Lancashire countryside of England is this charming dwelling. Internally, the property has been renovated into a stylish and contemporary holiday home for a couple looking to explore this area. Enter into the spacious open-plan living space, divided into two parts by the hallway, where you can drop off your coats and muddy boots and step into the contemporary dwelling. To the left you will discover a modern and well-equipped kitchen for rustling up delicious evening meals, or simply a hearty breakfast. To the right you will find a living room and dining area, housing plenty of seating to curl up on and unwind into the evening catching up with your favorite shows. Gather at the dining table to enjoy your home-cooked meals over a well-deserved glass of wine. Retire to one super-king-size bedroom with separate dressing room. The bathroom provides an elegant bath and separate shower, so you have the choice to enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub or a shower at the end of a tiring day. Towards the front of the property is a cobbled area where you can sit out of a morning with a cup of tea and delight in watching the sunrise, whilst the rear patio area provides a hot tub for those evenings where you want to relax and let those bubbling jets work their magic on your aching muscles.

The lodge is very well kept , beautifully clean and comfortable. Mark greeted us on arrival and showed us around, he has a lot of useful tips and is extremely helpful, without being intrusive at all. There is absolutely nothing you could need for your stay that isn't already there. The kitchen has an abundance of crockery ,cutlery ,pots and pans, and the welcome gifts and milk were a lovely extra touch. The seating area is so comfortable to relax in, with the bonus of sky cinema, which, due to the weather, we made good use of. The enormous bed was very inviting , and the bathroom ,very thoughtfully, had everything you could need just in case you had forgotten something, a brilliant idea. The hot tub was perfect for sinking into after a good days walking to soak the aching bones and the lights outside made it so attractive at night. Both front and back outside spaces were lovely and pretty and peaceful, the nearby construction works did not disturb us at all The local pub , seven stars, was 10 minutes walk away and was the perfect pub, offering a friendly warm welcome and amazing food......the hotpot is a must to try, and a good variety of beers and drinks, Being on the bus route made the lodge a perfect location to visit places without always needing the car , the bus stop is almost directly outside the property . Overall this place is quite simply perfect and we would recommend it to anyone, you will not be disappointed in the slightest, we have very High expectations from Sykes and this exceeded them all, we hope to return in the future.

You could not wish or need for anything everything is provided. From turning into the drive and driving off one week later I can fault nothing.
