  Very good accommodation in well converted barn.

  Well maintained, well equipped and thoroughly cleaned. Beautiful area, lovely views, walks and lots to see and do. Yes, as others have said it is close to the road but that is the nature of barns. It did not bother us too much. Excellent garden centre - Holden Clough close by, well worth a visit. We also enjoyed a walk doing the Pendle Hill Sculpture Trail ending with a very good meal at the Pendle Inn. Steven is a very good host who took the time to visit to ensure we were settled in and again to check all had been well the evening before we left. He was very keen to know if there was anything he could improve on. We know from looking back at previous reviews he takes this very seriously and puts suggestions into action. Notably, there are now outdoor chairs and sun loungers to compliment the wooden outdoor table with seating. So, we did mention a non-slip mat in the shower and replacement of worn non-stick pans would be a good idea and are confident this will be done.

  So glad that I found this gem of a holiday home!

  It's set in a lovely village which is a hub for outdoor activity. The house itself is well resourced and felt a real 'home from home'. I was especially relieved by the different pillow options which meant that everyone slept well. The views from the large bifold windows were wonderful and once you become familiar with the area it is possible to pick out landmarks. For an active family holiday this is perfectly located. We walked the Tolkien Trail from the front door and cycled both locally and on the trails of Gisborne Forest and around Bolton Abbey. For a quiet get away trip, I would highly recommend it as it is not heaving with tourists like the neighbouring Lake District. Clitheroe is worth visiting for the castle and Everyman cinema. Additionally, the Holmes Mill Food Hall is a real treat for foodies! There are numerous other local pubs which serve great food in fabulous settings. All in all we would recommend the Ribble Valley as a super holiday destination. To stay at 3 Clough Cottages was the icing on the cake!

  An excellent stay, the barn was immaculate and the beds incredibly comfortable.

  It is located in a beautiful spot overlooking the countryside and River Ribble and is perfectly located for visiting the Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland. The property has been beautifully renovated and the feature window makes for a perfect spot to sit with a coffee and view the sunrise over the hills. There is some road noise but we didn't find it overly noisy to the extent that it ever bothered us and we were staying in the room on the road side. The property is well equipped and we had everything we needed during our stay. The Spread Eagle pub is a minute drive away and is well worth a visit for good ales and wholesome food. The owner was very welcoming and attentive during our visit and he couldn't do enough to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. We look forward to returning to the property in the future.

  We had a wonderful few weeks at 3 Clough Cottages while waiting for repairs to our house.

  The place was so comfortable and tastefully furnished in beautiful colour schemes, with charming furniture, artwork and soft furnishings in a modern feel house despite being inside a former pub. The main kitchen and dining area was very well equipped and had a large walk in utility room. The separate large lounge with its two comfortable sofas, three lamps and large TV was a very relaxing space to chill in the evenings. The master bedroom was very comfortable and the bathrooms were done in gorgeous tiling. The lighting throughout was excellent with many options. The surrounding area is perfect for long country walks or runs including the Tolkien Trail. There is some road noise being on the main road but it didn’t affect us at all. The owners were extremely helpful to us. We would definitely stay there again.

  This was an excellent choice.

  The cottage is in a really nice village in a great area for touring and visiting interesting places. Or walking in the countryside if that’s your thing. On entering the cottage you are struck by the size, cleanliness and extremely well presented furniture and equipment. It really is a first class property. There were five of us and we used the three bedrooms and three bathrooms! We were all impressed with our rooms and everyone found the beds to be sooo comfortable. The lounge was so inviting for our cosy evenings together. There was a welcome pack - what can I say - this was well over and above any expectations. The secure parking for two cars in the gated area was reassuring. Would we recommend this property, yes, yes, yes.
