Both the cottage and the location have been perfect every time. I do a lot of walking/cycling/drinking real ale (though not necessarily in that order!), and this is absolutely ideal for all - outstanding walks in 3 Peaks area, very good cycling in Forest of Bowland & Bronte Country within short train journeys, and various good local pubs. Weather always unpredictable, but that's part of the experience. I'm 73 now - hope I can keep doing this for a few years yet!

Suited me very well. 5G Wifi access was a bit patchy, but slightly better in the downstairs bedroom than in the upstairs lounge.
