Inside, the open plan layout is furnished with all modern comforts including zone-controlled underfloor heating. The two bedrooms – one double and one twin are each equipped with en-suites – one with a half bath and overhead shower, and the other with a double shower. A modern kitchen houses all of the latest appliances, including a washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Keen cooks can take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen and the extendable dining table that comfortably seats six. A lounge area with two comfy sofas provides a place for relaxation, while the WiFi and large flat screen TV that’s fitted with Freeview and BluRay DVD will keep guests entertained. Bi-folding doors open out onto a peaceful patio with a view of the surrounding woodland.

We're situated in the small rural village of Langho in serene countryside with stunning views of the Ribble Valley. This also places us within the official Forest of Bowland AONB, a setting that has inspired many - including J.R.R. Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There are more than 40 idyllic villages surrounding Langho, the nearest of which is Whalley; just a 5 min drive or 30 min walk. Along with a beautiful Abbey, the Grade II listed Whalley Viaduct (the largest in Lancashire), shops, a deli, and a bakery, there are pubs, bars and restaurants to suit every appetite. The charming market town of Clitheroe is only a 15 min drive away and offers a large choice of supermarkets, independent shops, places to eat, and a beautiful park and playground in the grounds of the iconic medieval Castle. For days out by car, The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the seaside are all less than an hour away. As our cottages are in the Ribble Valley we are perfectly situated for guests coming further afield as we’re close to Junction 31 of the M6 with very good transport links. Preston is a 30 min drive away where direct trains go to London (2 hrs), to Glasgow (2 hrs) and to Edinburgh (2 hrs 30 mins). Described as Lancashire and Yorkshire’s hub into and out of the North, Manchester and Leeds are approx 1 hr drive away and both cities have international airports. The famous warmth of Lancastrian hospitality ensures visitors from all over the globe return time and time again.
