Longridge is a lovely place to stay. The owners have equipped this home very thoughtfully and everything you need for an enjoyable stay is available. The home is clean, calm and welcoming. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space. We brought carers with us to enable our family to have a holiday together. They were able to enjoy their own space and privacy when taking breaks. Longridge provides an ideal base for accessing local attractions and has the irresistible allure of a hot tub to relax and unwind after a busy day.
