This historic cottage is located in the heart of the village of Croston, directly opposite the banks of the River Yarrow. Set over three storeys, it has four-poster beds, free-standing baths and a charmingly quirky vibe, and is ideal for couples, friends and families looking to explore this delightful part of Lancashire.

Built around 1700, the property has been modernised while retaining heaps of character. You’ll step straight into the beamed kitchen/diner, which has a slate floor and a brick chimney with an open fire. This is a lovely space for socialising while cooking, with a wooden settle and a CD for some music while you chat. There’s a snug with a sofa and TV, plus two bedrooms, on the first floor. Both bedrooms have king-size, four-poster beds and ample clothes storage, and share a lovely bathroom with a roll-top slipper bath and separate shower. On the top floor, with its steeply sloping ceilings, you’ll find a spacious lounge with a TV, DVD and video, as well as an array of comfortable seating and a wall of books and ornaments. Also on this level are the third bedroom, a super-king-size, and another lovely bathroom with a slipper bath. If you feel like relaxing outdoors, there’s a courtyard with a BBQ: a great place for an aperitif or a meal.

The picture-postcard village of Croston has interesting shops and a range of places to eat as well as historic houses, a church that dates back to William the Conqueror and a 15th century packhorse bridge. Great days out include a visit to the antiques centre and cafe at the Tudor manor house Heskin Hall, 4.5 miles, the National Trust’s Rufford Old Hall, 4.5 miles, and a canoe safari at Martin Mere Wetland Centre, 6 miles.

Spacious property full of owners artwork and curios. Very big spacious beds. Generally equipment was good quality and I think the cottage was excellent when it was originally renovated. However there were a few very disappointing things: 1. The main oven door was wedged closed with a piece of wood - probably a fire hazard if the oven was usedRead more. When the piece of wood was removed the oven door fell open. The secondary oven worked but was very greasy. Both ovens need to be cleaned. 2. We could not work the shower - the water control seemed to be seized and we did not want to force it. 3. There were cobwebs on the side of the lower staircase and in the upstairs skylights; and in several other places. 4. General maintenance issues such as constantly dripping tap, blinds missing some controls, no aerial on ground floor TV, one light not working in 2nd floor bathroom We did not speak to Tri about these issues as we felt that she was doing her best and we did not want to cause her any upset.

A tastefully decorated house with many artistic features in a great location with friendly and helpful hosts. The layout was lovely and allowed us to either be together as a family or space out when needed. Really comfy beds! There are two lovely parks nearby, pubs, Indian restaurant/takeaway and a pizza van and a shop all within a short walking diRead morestance. Many local places of interest and the coast can be reached in less than an hour. A brilliant place to stay! Hide

A lovely house with great character, beautifully presented. It's like being in an art gallery with comfy beds, everywhere you look there is an item of interest to ponder, including in the courtyard garden. A problem with the flush mechanism of a toilet was quickly sorted by the friendly and helpful owners.
