About Riverside Lodge

Riverside Lodge sits in Balderstone, a quiet spot in Lancashire's beautiful countryside. This wooden lodge offers total privacy and a perfect base for exploring the northwest. Want somewhere that feels miles from anywhere but is actually close to everything? This accommodation nails it. The hot tub is big enough for your whole group - perfect for those late-night drinks when the kids are finally asleep.

The surrounding area combines rolling fields with riverside walks. Fancy a pint? Local pubs serve proper Lancashire food - none of that fancy nonsense, just good hearty meals. Fishing enthusiasts will love the nearby spots along the river. After a day outdoors, nothing beats watching the sunset from your private deck with a favourite drink.

The lodge features spacious open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms sleep up to six guests total. The fully-equipped kitchen makes self-catering a breeze and the outdoor BBQ area is perfect for summer evenings.

Nearby attractions include Blackpool Pleasure Beach (35 miles, 50 minutes), the Forest of Bowland AONB (12 miles, 25 minutes), Lancaster Castle (20 miles, 35 minutes) and Ribchester Roman Museum (5 miles, 15 minutes).

Riverside Lodge works for families, couples or friends looking for a countryside escape. The hot tub alone is worth the booking. Who doesn't want to soak under the stars after a day of exploring?
