Our cottage is located a little way up a steep gradient hill so may not be suitable for people with mobility issues who wish to walk down to the town centre. 

Parking: One on-street space is directly outside the cottage on a steep historic Pennine hill, typical of the area. Most guests have no difficulty, but it may feel challenging for larger vehicles, nervous drivers or those unfamiliar with hill starts. Additional flatter parking options are available nearby — just ask and we’re happy to help.

If flat parking is a priority, a town-centre property may suit you better — we want every guest to choose the right stay.
