Getting around

Due to it's rural location, a car is ideal, although there is a bus-stop at the top of the lane (300m) which takes you to Blackburn or Haslingden. An electric vehicle charge point is available at the property for guests to use.

Interaction with guest

I usually leave the guests to enjoy their stay in peace, but living next door I am always at hand to sort out any issues.
