Langho 1.7 miles.
Number 35 is a well-appointed lodge resting in Old Langho, Lancashire, with off-road parking, countryside views and an enclosed decking made for long moments outdoors.
Step inside and the finish feels fresh and considered, with hardwood floors leading you into the open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining area and sitting area come together in one sociable hub.
Put the kettle on, choose a coffee from the maker, and settle in as the electric, log-effect fire adds a warm glow to evenings in.
When it’s time to cook, the induction hob and electric oven are supported by thoughtful extras such as a microwave, air fryer and wine chiller, making self-catering feel effortless from breakfast through to supper.
As the day winds down, two bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, including a super-king-size room with its own television and sleek en-suite shower room, as well as a twin.
A separate bathroom features a bath with a shower over, giving everyone an easy choice when getting ready.
There’s also a utility area with laundry facilities, handy for freshening up clothes after days spent out exploring.
Outside, step onto the enclosed decking, arrange the furniture for an unhurried drink, and take in the sweep of countryside beyond the railings.
Old Langho places you within easy reach of village life, with a pub close by and a shop a short drive away.
For day trips, visit Whalley to explore the atmospheric abbey ruins, follow riverside paths along the River Calder and wander the historic village streets.
Head to Clitheroe for its hilltop castle and museum, the lively market and wide views from Beacon Hill.
For a change of pace, Blackburn offers its striking cathedral, the Museum and Art Gallery and open space at Witton Country Park.
Whatever your plans, Number 35 makes an inviting Lancashire base to return to.
