If the sun is shining why not head outside to the decking to delight in an alfresco affair as the sun sets over Lancashire.

When stars fill the sky, snuggle up with your loved ones one either of the plush sofas and settle in for a movie night in front of the Smart TV and an electric woodburning stove.

Later freshen up in the sleek bathroom before tucking the kids into the fun twin room then slope off to sleep in the spacious king-size bedroom furnished with plenty of storage and handy en-suite shower room.
