My wife and I were looking for a last minute, escape from it all, break and decided to look at cottages within a 2hrs drive from our home in Staffordshire. There's so many to choose from but Wolfen Mill stood amongst them as being a little luxury in the country. What sealed it was my conversation with the owner who was incredibly helpful - and just as pleasant when we met him.
Wolfen Mill Cottages are tucked away in Chipping in the Forest of Bowland. Access from the M6 (Jcn 31 about 40 minutes) was great, passing through Longridge - complete with Sainsbury's, butchers and farm shops (helpful) - to get to our cottage.
Everyone's idea of luxury is different but our cottage did offer luxury, ranging from the decoration of the cottage, thick bathrobes to the plates and cutlery - it felt a great place to stay and it was. The cottage was extremely clean and well cared for - Michael and Marie clearly take great care and pride in their business.
We took our Border Terrier with us and there were plenty of places to exercise him. The Forest of Bowland is an area of outstanding natural beauty and there are plenty of walks within easy reach of the cottages, all kindly mapped out in our handbook, complete with laminated walk guides.
The weather was not great for our stay but it hasn't put us off staying again, both in the FoB and at Wolfen Mill so we will be back again soon - more than likely with friends in tow this time.
