Very pleased with our accommodation. A group of 3, we were lucky enough to be upgraded from the Studio Cottage to the Blacksmiths Cottage by the very kind owners Moira and Kate. The unusual, historic cottage is warm, comfortable and tastefully furnished to suit the age of building. My daughter described the Cottage as a 'Harry Potter House', certainly well suited to the rather eerie tales of witchcraft the Pendle area is famous for! Booked full English breakfast - best we've ever had!

Free wifi, quality bed linen, big fluffy towels, tea towels, tea bags, kettle, a pint of milk, washing up liquid, some toilet rolls, kitchen towel and hairdryer were provided. Take your own toiletries. The kitchen had an oven, hob, fridge with small freezer box, dishwasher and plenty of cookware. Huge wood burning stove in the lounge fireplace with initial logs/fuel provided. If you need anything in particular or have any questions just contact the owners. They were very helpful to us and responded quickly to emails. I always contact B&Bs  in advance of a stay regarding expected arrival times, special requirements and breakfast as this ensures a smooth, enjoyable stay.

Wonderful B&B, full of Character & History in Pendle Witch Country!

Only one night and one breakfast. Far too short. Beautiful location and great accommodation - a lovely room and a very comfortable bed.  I great nights rest after a long drive. The breakfast was excellent quality and a generous portion.   Only a short drive from my meeting in town.  

Overnight stay was too short

Me and wife visited yesterday and as a young(ish) couple we thought it looked like a weekend we wouldn't have super fun. We loved it. Amazing room enhanced by the great weather and scenery. The local pub was great and Moira's breakfast was incredible. We then went to the local witch shop and visited the church. We will be back.

Great Weekend :)

Had a great stay in the Dam Head property operated by Kate and Moira. The cottage was very comfortable, clean, and located in the great village of Roughlee. Great to catch up with Moira a bit, although our schedules did not allow for more time together, and also very good to connect with Kate. Kate and Moira are great  hosts and focused on making sure the guest are comfortable and enjoy their time in the countryside.

The village of Roughlee is located in a beautiful region of the Northern England countryside, close to historic and picturesque villages and market towns. The countryside is gorgeous. Even misty and overcast weather adds to allure of the region, but it is simply spectacular when the sun breaks through the clouds to highlight the various shades of  lush countryside.  

The area has numerous pubs and restaurants serving excellent food and the microbrew scene in England producing excellent locally produced ales, ciders and perries. The annoying and misplaced notion of "bad food in England" has long been replaced with an ever increasing standard for excellent food using an abundance of locally raised and grown ingredients. If people still think English food is bad or bland after visits to the outstanding and award winning pubs and restaurants in the area, they should question their perspective of taste and knowledge of "good food."  

A small list of excellent, notable and award winning pubs and restaurants within a 30 minute country drive around the cottage include the consistently popular and very good Inn at Whitewell, the sublime daily menu at the White Swan in Fence (if you are lucky enough to have breast of Pigeon on the menu, order it and you wont be disappointed), the Fence Gate and Sparrow Hawk also in Fence, the Red Pump in Bashal Eaves recently renovated by warm and friendly owners Jonathan and Fran, (if you want a great steak, the Red Pump probably has the best locally raised beef in the area), the Aspinall Arms and Three Fishes on either side of the River Ribble, the Eagle in Barrow, the Assheton Arms in the idyllic village of Downham, the elegant Northcote, the award winning Swan with Two Necks in Pendleton, Free Mason Arms in Wiswell, and Angel Inn in Hetton.  
Again, just a small list of excellent pubs and restaurants in the area.

Great Holiday

Web site etc looked very nice, we were visiting Barrowford and at short notice needed B&B for two nights, this looked good and at £80 per night, double room seemed reasonable(ish) but we found out too late that breakfast was an extra £15.95 (each), even good hotels don't charge this (I think!).
Room and bed were very nice, the village of Roughlee absolutely delightful, but our room was not serviced as advertised and we would not stay again
