• 2009 saw our B&B  winning a VisitBritain/Kellogg's Breakfast Award with a further Award being given in 2010.  As well as our traditional Lancashire Breakfast using local ingredients and home-made marmalades, you can choose from a selection of lighter alternatives. Enjoy our refreshing fresh fruit salad followed by creamy scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, or delicious blueberry pancakes layered with wild blueberries and served with creme fraiche?  We also offer vegetarian options and are happy to cater for special diets if advised in advance.
   

•  You can relax in the beamed sitting room which is for the exclusive use of B&B guests and has stunning views of the pretty cottage garden and valley beyond. Toast your toes in front of a roaring log fire in the winter evenings.
