Situated in Burnley, Lancashire, this charming late 1700s canal-side cottage is part of the historic Finsley Gate Wharf, a site that played a pivotal role during Lancashire's Industrial Revolution. Following a significant regeneration project that concluded in September 2021, the cottage has been meticulously restored to serve as a tranquil and modern guesthouse. With the capacity to accommodate two guests, it features one bedroom and offers a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary amenities, making it an ideal retreat for couples looking to explore local attractions.
The guesthouse comprises four distinct rooms, including two en-suite bedrooms and two spacious suites, ensuring a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Among these, the Pemberton Suite stands out as a luxurious option, often referred to as the Bridal Suite. Located on the ground floor, this suite boasts two adjoining open-plan rooms, complete with original stone flooring, a large open fireplace, and a wood-burning stove available for use at an additional service fee. The suite is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring a long table suitable for gatherings, built-in wardrobes, and essential amenities like tea and coffee-making facilities, a fridge, and a modern bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries.
To enhance the guest experience, the cottage is equipped with essential house rules to maintain a peaceful environment. Check-in is set for 1 PM, while check-out occurs at 10 AM. Guests are kindly reminded that smoking and parties are prohibited on the premises. The property also welcomes pets and offers free parking facilities. For larger groups, all four rooms can be booked together, allowing exclusive access to the entire cottage, ensuring a private and memorable stay.
Guests at the cottage can also enjoy the amenities within the Finsley Gate Wharf grounds, including the Saw Mill Cafe & Bar, a co-working space, and the Robert Whitworth Restaurant, all of which have recently undergone renovations. Reservations for dining are recommended, particularly on weekends. Additionally, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as Towneley Hall, Gawthorpe Hall, and Cronkshaw Fold Farm. The location provides a picturesque setting for a relaxing getaway, making it an appealing destination for those seeking both history and modern comforts.
