This late 1700s canal side cottage is located within the grounds of Finsley Gate Wharf.
Finsley Gate Wharf was once at the heart of Lancashire's Industrial Revolution and was granted over 3 million pounds for a total regeneration, completed in September 2021.
The cottage, once the turnbridge keeper's home, is part of this regeneration and has been lovingly restored into a modern, quiet, yet centrally located guesthouse, a great place for reunions with easy access to local attractions.
Our late 1700s 2 storey cottage is a very grand version of a large, detached
2-up 2-down house.
We have divided the guesthouse into 4 rooms - 2 en-suite bedrooms and 2 large suites. This is a small unique guesthouse with just 4 room options. Like a hotel, all rooms have locks and you are also given a key to the cottage and the gate to the grounds of Finsley Gate Wharf.
DESCRIPTION: The Pemberton Suite, 2 Rooms With En-suite, Sleeps 2
The Pemberton Suite has a new wood burning stove installed. We can set up the fire, supply materials, and clean it the next day for a service fee of £25 a day. Please make the request when you make the reservation.
Fabulous accommodation, a jewel in the crown, a unique space for romantic times for 2. These rooms are also known as our Bridal Suite, a real gem of a place to stay.
Located on the ground floor, there are 2 adjoining open plan rooms and a bathroom. The largest room of the Pemberton Suite, which would have been known as 'the front room', has the original stone floor and a large open fireplace. We have a long table with benches that can seat up to 12 guests (when the entire cottage is booked for a larger group), there is also a desk/dressing table with a mirror, hairdryer, lamp, and extension lead for charging phones and laptops.
The split-level bedroom is entered via a large open-plan archway that leads from the front room. The bedroom comprises 2 built-in wardrobes, a double bed, and 2 bedside tables. There are also tea and coffee making facilities with mugs, tumblers, short glasses, champagne glasses and wine glasses. We have also installed a fridge with a freezer.
The new, minimal white bathroom leads off from the bedroom and has complementary TRESemmé shampoo and conditioner, Source shower gel and handwash. Please note, there are plenty of spare toilet rolls in the cupboard under the sink.
Bed linens and towels are provided.
