Perfect for two humans and two hounds, this characterful cottage in Lancashire is a great base for those in search of adventure. Located at an activity centre with an array of water sports and other outdoor activities available on-site, and breathtaking countryside in every direction, you’ll not be short on things to do on a stay here. After the end of each day, you’ll love returning home to let your pup snooze by the warmth of the wood burner whilst you take a dip in the blissful hot tub in the private garden – every member of the pack can kick back and relax.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/living room/diner, warmed by a charming wood burner. A lovely sofa offers a comfortable spot to sit and watch the TV whilst the patio doors allow you to let the fresh air in and extend the living space out into the garden. The kitchen is compact yet cleverly designed to utilise the space, enjoying a calming pastel colour palette. When it’s time for bed, the delightful dual-aspect double bedroom offers a place to rest your head with plenty of storage and natural light in the mornings. Completing the property is the bathroom which features a fantastic bathtub where bubble baths can be enjoyed, as well as a separate shower cubicle. At the rear of the property is the garden, furnished with a table and chairs and BBQ for al fresco dining, as well as the luxurious hot tub where you can sit and gaze up at the stars once night falls.
Head off for a wonderful walk around Rivington Reservoirs, less than a mile away, and you’ll find plenty of tranquil spots for a picnic whilst exploring the site. On your travels, pay a visit to Liverpool Castle (2 miles) a replica built to mark one of the lost landmarks, and Rivington Pinetum (2 miles) where your canine can sniff an array of interesting scents and hunt down a selection of sticks to fetch. Take a trip to the market town of Chorley and enjoy a hearty meal at one of the local pubs welcoming those on four legs in between soaking up the rich history of the area.
