Alden Cottage Self Catering Accommodation

• You can relax and enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine in front of a roaring log fire in the cosy oak beamed sitting room, which includes electric central heating, flat screen TV/DVD player, hard disc digital recorder, CD player, video player recorder, antique furniture plus wood burning stove. The sitting room has beautiful views of the cottage garden and Ribble Valley.

• From the dining area, the double doors lead to a compact but well equipped modern kitchen with electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and iron. We think there's everything you'll need if you decide to exercise your culinary skills in true self catering style. You are also welcome to use the lovely back garden which includes a patio area with table and chairs for you to enjoy al fresco dining.
   
• Alternatively, should you want to eat out, Alden Cottage is only a short drive away from many excellent eating establishments from local pubs serving mouth watering homemade specialities to fine dining restaurants for that special occasion plus a number of 'gastropubs' serving some of Lancashire's best local produce.
   
• After a hard day's sightseeing in the beautiful Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland you can rest those tired bones, or simply have a good soak in the cottage's Biojet™ whirlpool bath. The immaculate en-suite bathroom comes equipped with over bath power shower, bidet, heated towel rail and airing cupboard.
   
• A comfy night's sleep is assured in the romantic en-suite double bedroom with exposed oak beams, central heating, electric blanket, hairdryer, radio/alarm, tea and coffee making facilities. Then, in the morning, wake up to the stunning views of the garden and valley beyond.
