A great 2 day stay. On a working farm, so great countryside walks and within easy access to nearby Whalley by car or walking, and Clitheroe by car. Would stay again, but perhaps in one of the larger cottages within the farm.

The best holiday we have had so far.
The best holiday we have had so far. There are loads of walks, you can walk for miles over fields. We visited Gisburn Forrest for the day that was amazing. The cottage was very homely and very cosy. Roy and Kathleen were amazing hosts, welcoming. Our dog is very lively, and loves to explore. So the courtyard bit straight outside the cottage meant that he could still explore but wouldn’t escape! The cottage had everything you needed! Would recommend the place to everyone I know. And we will be returning soon! Thank you

What a beautiful part of the world, and a peaceful little haven for a short break.
What a beautiful part of the world, and a peaceful little haven for a short break. The sheep were in the paddock next to the cottage when we arrived and were baaaaaaaaing away - lovely. Roy and Kathleen were great hosts. The cottage was well stocked with milk, tea, coffee and wine!
This little break was so much appreciated after a tough few months.
Lots of restaurants in the area - Whalley, Pendle and Clitheroe. And Whalley Abbey gardens are beautiful. Enjoy.

Cottage was nice and thoughtfully equipped.
Cottage was nice and thoughtfully equipped. Could have done with lamps downstairs to avoid using overhead lighting in the evening. Main reason why the rating is not higher is that internet kept dropping and was extremely slow when we were on it. We kept having to drive out in the car to use 4G. Shame because we needed the internet during our stay. Otherwise a clean, well ordered cottage in a beautiful location.

A well kept secret!
We're just back from a very happy few days staying in a delightful rural setting in a less touristy part of the country. The location and accommodation were perfect and the owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Lovely little cottage in a really good location.
Lovely little cottage in a really good location. Ideal for visiting the Forest of Bowland and nearby Lancashire villages. Only negative is that there was no cold water coming out of the tap in the bathroom upstairs.
