Wow! Can we give it six stars?
Everything about the stay was so good, that I actually had to double-check the price. It seemed too good to be true.
Location: Perfect! Right in the centre of Ramsbottom, near the supermarkets, but very quiet at night.
Parking: Plenty of safe, off-road parking in the apartment block's private car park
Check-in: Effortless. The pictorial guide made access foolproof, even for me.
Accommodation: Very modern, bright and airy, two-bedroom apartment with large kitchen/diner/living area. Immaculately clean, and well equipped (huge Polaroid TV, superfast wi-fi). Great view towards Scout Moor. Modest-sized bedrooms: one with a double bed, and the other with bunks.
Host: Shelia was fantastic. Communication was super quick, and although we never had any problems, I sensed they would have been resolved immediately.
Extras: Maybe I didn't read the description properly, but I was shocked how much extra was supplied above what I expected. Tassimo machine (with capsules), stacks of new fluffy towels, so much food/drink it was almost embarrassing.
Local area: We enjoyed pancake breakfast at Drinc (Ramsbottom), awesome pizza from Tre Ciccio (Ramsbottom), sandwich lunch from The Hub (Greenmount), and coffee/cakes from The Lamppost (Burrs Country Park)
Overall: I cannot recommend Shelia's place highly enough. It will definitely be our first choice for future visits.
