The cottage
Old stone, new comforts
Spring Cottage has stood in Trawden for somewhere between 300 and 400 years. We renovated it top to bottom, keeping the stonework and swapping the draughts for a proper kitchen, a rain shower and wifi.
Downstairs is one open room built around the stove. Upstairs are a double and a twin, and a bathroom where the bath sits against 300-year-old stone. Out the back, the private garden faces south, catches the sun all summer and is enclosed by a planted boundary, so dogs can potter about.

Your hosts
This was our home
Spring Cottage was our family home. We renovated the whole house, then the family grew, three children later, and we had to move somewhere bigger. We still miss it, so we kept it, and we've been sharing it with guests for four years now.
We live two minutes away, so if the stove sulks or you want to know which way the footpath goes, we're close by.

Out of the front door
Walks start at the gate
Within minutes you're on the old packhorse tracks of Trawden Forest. There's Wycoller, with its clapper bridges and Brontë ruins, Lumb Spout waterfall and the climb to Lad Law on Boulsworth Hill, where on a clear day you can see Pendle Hill and the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and the walk from Trawden to Wycoller.
