Here at Greenbank we offer the peace and quiet of the countryside with the comforts of home for the weary traveller. This is not an Hotel but our home and while you are with us we try to make it your home. We are ideally situated on the edge of the Forest of Bowland within easy reach of the Lakes and Dales yet only 7 minutes from junction 33 of the M6 or 10 minutes from Lancaster University.

There is one double and one twin bedded room, both en-suite plus one twin/double with en-suite shower room.
	All rooms have tea/coffee trays, television and shaver sockets, and early breakfasts can be arranged for the business person with an appointment to keep.

Originally Greenbank was a small farm with a dairy at one end of the house. In 1982 the house was extended into the dairy to make our spacious home with extensive grounds and breathtaking views of the fells. Simon and I moved to Greenbank along with our three daughters, Roxanne, Jocelyn and Hannah when we retired from dairy farming in 1997. In April 1999 we bought a small picture framing business which we are running along side the B&B so if you have anything to frame bring it along.
