Priestley’s Retreat is a delightful holiday home resting in the quaint village of Belthorn, Lancashire.
Aptly named, Priestley’s Retreat was once a home-from-home to JB Priestley when writing his England Journey book, now an idyllic escape in a beautiful countryside setting, where guests can retrace the famous steps on an abundance of picture-perfect walks.
Offering guests a single-storey layout, open-plan living space, and off-road parking, this property maximises ease and convenience during your stay.
Inside this single-storey abode, you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan area, thoughtfully laid out to include a kitchen, dining, and sitting room to create an effortless flow between all the main living spaces.
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare some wonderful meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table or out on the patio in the sun, alfresco style.
After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where a Smart TV awaits for an inviting movie night.
When the sun is out, head outdoors to the patio where a serene spot for morning coffees or evening drinks will always be at your disposal, as you soak up the tranquil atmosphere of this charming Lancashire village.
When it's time to rest for the night, choose from two inviting bedrooms; a king-size room complete with a TV for those lazy morning lie-ins, and an inviting single room, both offering a tranquil space to recharge for the next day's adventures.
The property also benefits from a sleek shower room, providing a refreshing space to prepare for your day or to unwind with a steamy soak.
Surrounded by countryside but benefiting from easy access to plenty of towns and cities, such as Manchester and Liverpool, Priestley’s Retreat makes a superb choice for both holidays and business travellers looking for a homely base.
For a slower pace, the Ribble Valley is the perfect spot for walking and cycling, with rolling hills and stunning viewpoints.
The Lake District National Park is the place to visit for outdoor adventure while on your trip, or you can venture to the popular town of Blackpool for a day by the seaside.
Alternatively, you can sample the quaint pubs and restaurants in charming villages such as Clitheroe and Skipton, or simply wander the cobbled streets and admire the historic architecture of the picture-perfect regions, all within a scenic drive.
Immerse yourself in all that and more when you stay at Priestley’s Retreat, your gateway to an unforgettable Lancashire experience.
