We were made very welcome, Julie's communication prior to our arrival was great and she very kindly allowed us to check in a few hours early by prior arrangement which we very much appreciated. She greeted us in person on arrival and was friendly and helpful. The space is lovely, with a great view from the lounge area and the little terrace, looking across fields towards town. The kitchen was impressively well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom (and extra separate loo) were nice. All nicely furnished and decorated, and lots of thoughtful touches such as a full length mirror in the bedroom, some lovely biscuits provided with the brew stuff, a drying rack for laundry and/or wet gear. It was cosy and warm in the guest house despite the quite chilly weather. The place was very clean when we arrived and there were cleaning supplies provided for our use, as well as tablets/laundry liquid for the dishwasher and washing machine. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting family in Bolton. It's near the quarry but although we could occasionally hear some noise from there it sounded distant, and wasn't loud or intrusive. We would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay and we hope to stay again. Thanks Julie!
