Sleeping and bathing
There are two gorgeous bedrooms to choose from, both en suite and on the ground floor.
The first bedroom, with breath-taking vaulted ceiling, boasts a king size Loaf French style bed, with stunning views from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There's also a door that leads out on to the sun-soaked patio - the perfect space for slow morning coffees. Alongside plenty of storage, there's an en suite shower room.
The second bedroom has a zip-and-link bed, meaning it can be made up as twins or kept as a super king size bed, for flexible sleeping arrangements. With a chest of drawers, occasional chair, and Tom Raffield lightshade, this is a beautiful room with en suite bath and shower room.
Both beds are swathed in luxurious White Company linen, cloud-soft bedding and sumptuous cushions and throws for blissful slumber. The en suites have heated rails to keep towels warm and fluffy, and there's underfloor heating throughout all the rooms.

In the Area
Set on the banks of Anglezarke Reservoir, the largest reservoir of Lancashire's 'Lake District', a chain of reservoirs than run from Abbey Village to Rivington, Anglezarke is perfectly positioned to explore this wonderful area. A great spot for walkers, there's a trail around the reservoir with beautiful views. Another fantastic spot is Rivington Gardens, with over 45 acres of terraces and paths to explore, named as one of Britain's forgotten gardens but now being restored to its former glory. The Rivington Cycle Route passes through Liverpool Castle, Rivington Hall Barn and Rivington Pike - ideal for those also looking to explore by bike. Yarrow Park is highly recommended to discover on foot. Of course, there's also the West Pennine Moors, a 90-square-mile area of wild countryside, complete with historic villages and woodland. Expect spectacular views from Jubilee Tower - a definite must-visit. Further afield, the Forest of Bowland awaits, a stunning AONB. For dining, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to places to eat and drink, such as Riverton Brewing Tap Room, the River Yew Tree Inn in Heath Charnock, or the café at Spring Cottage in nearby Rivington. For gin lovers, a visit to Brindle Distillery is a must, where they offer tours and workshops. History enthusiasts will love the areas rich past, where ancient homes await, such as Smithills Hall, a Grade I manor house set on the edge of the West Pennine moors, and pretty, traditional villages. Our enchanting retreat is also just 40 minutes from Manchester, and an hour from the Lake District and Liverpool.
