Great for groups that need seperated spaces.
We booked accommodation for a Leigh sawmill event. Only a short walk through 3 shortcut walkways.
Only very small minus was the furniture was musty and the outdoor lounger was covered in animal hair.
Fully recommend staying here.

We needed a place near the venue of the wedding in Leigh, and this was ideal. It's an older house without air conditioning, but with the large airy rooms and the fans provided, we were comfortable. The property manager was very responsive, and the checking in and out was simple. Very happy.
