The property

Sitting on the outskirts of Milnrow, Greater Manchester is this impressive, eco-built cottage, Oak Cottage. With air source underfloor heating, oak detailing throughout, and set on a working farm, this family-friendly cottage provides a warm welcome to four guests holidaying in North West England. Arrive to find off-road parking for three cars, unpack your luggage and get settled in with ease. Inside the beautifully constructed property is a contemporary kitchen with excellent facilities to prepare your favourite dishes, including an electric oven, halogen hob and microwave. Gather around the table for six in the dining room with rustic, oak beams and patio doors bringing in plenty of natural light. After loading up the dishwasher, bring a cold glass of wine into the sitting room to sink into the cushioned seating and choose a family-favourite on the Smart TV. Two outdoor spaces include a private patio with seating and a shared courtyard to savour the last of the evening sun in your gorgeous, rural surroundings! Whether you explore local towns or trek through the Peak District National Park, find a ground-floor wet room at Oak Cottage to quickly freshen up before dinner. Upstairs, you'll find two minimally decorated bedrooms with storage space and en-suites, suitable for couples, families, and friends; the super-king-size zip/link has an en-suite shower room, while the king-size hosts an en-suite bathroom with a stunning, tiled bath. If you're seeking the great outdoors, Oak Cottage is in the perfect location with footpaths and bridleways close to Hollingworth Lake with all its water activities, Watergrove reservoir and Sustrans route 66. While on-site you can try your hand at horse riding! Head into the historic town of Milnrow with listed weavers' cottages, The Gallows pub serving British classics, and Bellavista Restaurant for countryside views with traditional pasta and pizzas; alternatively, stock up at the convenience store or supermarket if you'd prefer to stay in! Bring your clubs for a game at Whittaker Golf Club, just outside the town of Littleborough, home to Hare Hill House heritage museum and park with far-reaching, rural views. Be sure to visit Rochdale for plenty of local culture at Touchstones Rochdale and Rochdale Pioneers Museum, while Healey Dell Nature Reserve is a peaceful beauty spot for wildlife watching, walking, and fishing. If you're looking for a livelier day out, the bustling city of Manchester is within easy reach for plenty of bars, restaurants, and pubs, as well as museums, art galleries, and plenty of shops to choose from. Further afield lies the market town of Glossop to stop for lunch before embarking on an adventure in the Peak District National Park; there are plenty of hikes to choose from close by including Snake Woodland, Fairbrook Naze, and the memorial wreckage of Bleaklow Bomber, a US Air Force that crashed here in 1948.
