Reviews
Mill Dam Cottage is nestled away from even the nearest road, halfway up a hillside, on the boarder of the Forest of Bowland. With nature on the doorstep and so much to explore close by, it is a great place to stay. The cottage is spacious, for the most and comfortable you’ll only need to bring yourself and then relax. Our three dogs stayed with us, an added bonus allowing three dogs as standard. The enclosed back garden had a babbling brook for that authentic relaxing backdrop. We enjoyed the stay and felt that the owners Karen and Ryan would do anything, if possible, to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. Our thanks go to them and for the welcome pack, more than just a pint of promised milk, thank you.
