This quaint and quintessentially English cottage is ready to welcome you in for a cosy and comfortable stay. This home was built way back in the 17th century and has all the design features you’d expect from a characterful cottage – exposed oak beam ceilings, an open fireplace, a four-poster bed and even a grandfather clock – while still featuring all the modern facilities that make it feel like a home-from-home. You’ll also have instant access to the stunning countryside surrounding you here, with plenty of nature walks and lakes on your doorstep. Spend serene mornings enjoying a cup of coffee in your lovely lounge area. Cook up a traditional full English breakfast and dine together on your kitchen dining table. Head out for hikes in the English countryside, or make the short drive to Ramsbottom, a historic market town where you can find friendly pubs and cute cafes. Grab fish and chips on your way home and tuck in outside on your garden dining set. Then as the evening rolls in, light your open fireplace and get cosy while watching a movie, before falling into your four-poster bed for a dreamy night’s sleep.
