Its in a rural peaceful setting with footpaths from the doorstep added bonus is High Bentham just minutes away in the car for supplies, pubs & friendly cafe. Lots to see & explore in surrounding area but Lancaster & Lakes accessible too. Cottage is so comfortable, clean, modern but still quirky and had everything you need to hand including wifi, log burner, smart tv & wonderful openplan kitchen diner with skylight. Owner greeted us on arrival and showed how everything worked & advised about local amenities & walks etc which was a lovely personal touch. Highly recommend this cottage & would definitely visit again.
