Perfect base for visiting the delights of the north west.
Perfect base for visiting the delights of the north west. Blackpool just 30mins away and the Lake District or Lancashire just a little further. However plenty of great places locally so don’t have to travel far. Forest of bowland is a delight!The cottages at Cross keys inn are comfortable, well equipped and very clean. My favourite place to stop in the area

As always you enter to a spotlessly clean property.
As always you enter to a spotlessly clean property. In the lounge and bedroom there is comfortable furniture. A lovely shower and a kitchen with the basic equipment needed. I can recommend the cottages at Dorchester drive (see all my previous reviews).

Another excellent stay at no.
Another excellent stay at no.3 Dorchester drive. The cottage was again spotlessly clean on my arrival. One slight problem was rapidly fixed after a phone call to owners. Patio furniture was most welcome for a morning coffee and afternoon tea. Very comfortable bed and wonderfully refreshing shower make this property very highly recommended.
