What our customers say about their holidays

  This house is beautifully presented, absolutely immaculately clean and very comfortable for 2-4 guests.

  We were let down with another place in the peaks right at the last minute, so ended up booking this the same afternoon and headed straight there. On arrival, there was a welcome pack with essentials like tea, coffee, milk sachets, biscuits, though were surprised to a bottle of wine too. The kitchen is very well stocked, even supplying things you wouldn’t expect like sandwich bags, tin foil and kitchen roll. The property is super pet friendly, with an array of pet supplies like bowls in different sizes and dog mess bags. The garden is very secure and safe for pets, and I think the artificial grass is a good call for the hire market as it’s easier to maintain for both owner and guest. There was one mess in the back garden when we arrived, but I honestly think it was a cat rather than an oversight of the owner. The care and attention of the owners comes across with a welcome manual, intricate details often missed in rentals and the additional facilities such as an air fryer, outdoor furniture and Netflix accounts on the 3 tvs! Morecambe is also pleasant with good hearted people, including the next door neighbours. There are ponies in the field next to the property, they really appreciate carrots and apples, we made very good friends with them. There is only one small thing we think could be improved and that’s the mattresses, they’re very average in quality and not in keeping with the rest of the property. You can still get a good sleep, but if they were changed for something more plush then this would be a 5* property with no flaws whatsoever. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

  The property has been renovated to a very high standard and has the feel of a boutique hotel.

  The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The main living area is much lighter and brighter than it looks in the pictures, but our small dog did not appreciate the glass doors in the main downstairs living area - he walked into them quite hard twice so we had to leave them permanently open and keep something in front of them at all times. The bathrooms are very tight if like my husband you are tall and rather portly (the large feathered bird ornaments were very awkward for him when drying himself after squeezing out of the shower). My mother-in-law and I, though, delighted in the beautiful wallpaper and had no problems with the small space. Whalley is lovely and we would highly recommend the butcher and the wine bar, but parking can be a bit of a problem. We did manage to park outside the property all but 2 of the days, but on the 2 we couldn't we did have to park quite a way away. It's a busy little place! We did feel some more accessible coat hooks would have been advantageous - it was drizzly while we were there and the only place to put a damp coat was either on the back of a dining chair or in a cupboard marked for coats and boots that you needed to be very slim and a contortionist to access (squeezing behind a sofa in front of a tv with a standard lamp blocking the opening of the door). We very much enjoyed our stay and felt the cottage was well-priced. We would definitely recommend it.

  Beautiful little cottage, surprisingly spacious with 2 living rooms.

  Me, my husband, and our dog spent 5 nights here at the end of January 2025. We'd have our morning coffee in the front lounge as this was a much brighter room first thing, then settle down in the rear living room in the evening after a day out exploring. There are plenty of DVDs to watch, however we didn't use them as we took our Firestick. Thete are 2 large bedrooms, the master has plenty of storage with huge wardrobe space. The dining area is super cosy, especially at night with the little fairy lights glowing on the tree. Kitchen has all the mod cons and everything we needed. Location wise, the cottage is situated just 2 minutes away from the River Ribble for exercising the dog, plus a lovely church with a historic graveyard to explore - if you're into that kind of thing!! The White Bull is a 2 minute walk in the opposite direction, although it was closed Monday and Tuesday, as was the Black Bull, which is a further 5 minutes down the road. We highly recommend the Ribchester Arms, which is approximately a 10 minute walk from the cottage, they do delicious and very reasonably priced meals all day. Parking is available on the main road outside the cottage. All in all, a lovely, peaceful and relaxing break.

  My husband and I and our 2 dogs had a lovely stay at No.

  10 - we had a wonderful time at this cozy cottage in the pretty village of Whalley. The advertisement of the property, facilities and location are all accurate and matched our expectations. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped, and we enjoyed the welcome hamper with treats for both us and our two mini dachshunds. The owners contacted us via text to check everything was ok on arrival and were on hand for anything needed. The village has lots of pubs, restaurants and little shops to explore, and there was a SPAR and a COOP on the doorstep for any groceries we needed. We ordered a couple of lovely takeaways so if you don’t fancy cooking you don’t have to with all the amenities nearby. The weather was rainy for most of our stay, but we didn’t mind as there were lots of lovely walks nearby, either walking distance or a short car ride away. When we returned to the cottage, we had plenty of entertainment options with board games, books, and access to Netflix, Apple, Disney and Prime. We stayed for six nights and it was the perfect way to celebrate the new year. We highly recommend this home stay to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable break with or without your furry friends.

  On entering this property first reaction is “wow” , hats off to the designer, stunning.

  Owners have thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable.Welcome pack a nice touch, even a pint of milk in the fridge, thoughtful. Property is extremely well equipped, kitchen has everything you will ever need, not that we cooked anything as lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, perfect location, nearest supermarket just outside the properties rear gate. Four of us were there for a week and had glorious weather, the rear courtyard was well used, a little private sun trap, with table and chairs, this had it’s very own outside toilet, very handy. Next to this was was laundry room, washer and drier, again we never used this ,but yes, thought of everything. Would I recommend this to anyone..110% Would I stay here again….didn’t want to leave. Well done Philip and Judi, keep up the good work , again, “WOW”
