Good to know

The cottage has been the family home for 100 years as of 2024! It was the first property of all the surrounding properties built in 1693 originally as a farm then turned into 4 smaller homes for the local miners before being turned back into one larger cottage. The "R + A" on the 1693 Datestone is for Richard and Anne, the original owners. The cottage offers a cosy and comfortable stay with stunning views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and forests. You can explore the picturesque countryside, go hiking, mountain biking, or simply relax in the peaceful and serene surroundings. Rossendale is the perfect getaway destination to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

We had a great stay in the cottage for a long weekend in October. The house was very comfortable, and we appreciated the warm welcome of thoughtful muffins and biscuits when we arrived. We had everything we needed for a restorative cup of tea after our long journey. The cottage is as shown in the lovely listing photos, furnished to a high standard with many small comforts. There is an excellent space for working remotely. The bedrooms are spacious and well-designed. This is our first visit to Rossendale, and the area is lovely. We enjoyed lunch at the Water Trough and later a pint at the Commercial. We had a lovely stay, and I heartily recommend it!

This went above and beyond my expectations. The cottage was spotlessly clean with a great shower downstairs and bath upstairs. The beds were very comfy. I stayed with my two young grandsons and having a lovely little wood and play area within easy walking distance was a great bonus. No complaints.

The cottage was our last stop for our trip across the United Kingdom. As soon as we enters through the door we were met with an absolutely amazing home. There was plenty of space for a family of four to share. The home had a very cosy feel to it and it was an amazing stay. The rooms were superb, the bathroom was very clean, and the lounge was very comfortable. There were also many cats that would come through the backyard greeting us with their cute appeal. The host was very kind and supportive leaving us an assortment of treats. This home definitely deserves a 5/5 stars, and we would 100% recommend this house if you are staying in the area of Water.
