  Beautiful pod Beautiful area The pod was clean and well looked after, but there was a few things that could be done, 1.

  it is advertised with a hot tub, this is actually an small hot tub which they don’t turn and you could only use once a day as they needed to empty it and put fresh hot water in - they said there’s no bubbles or anything it’s not a jacuzzi just a hot tub , very disappointed by that as we wanted to sit and relax in it throughout the day as well as night - not sit in a glorified bath tub while the water quickly goes cold in the cold weather! We paid extra for this property to others we were looking at as it was meant to have a hot tub. 2. As we couldn’t access the hot tub and the weather was bad we had to stay in, the internet access was very hit and miss 3. Kitchen equipment was a little lacking and the oven was a combo oven/ microwave and you can’t for much in 4. The bedding was clean and freshly put on, but it smelt of fried food as the kitchen and bed are next to each so maybe take some fabreeze to use before you go to sleep 5. lack of bins, we tidy up after ourselves and the pods are at the back of a tea room / house and there are no allocated bins and at one point there was no bins at all for 2 days, we was nervous about using the bins at the house as we was unsure if they were for their property or joint use? The pod is lovely and if the weather is nice and you like being out all day it would probably be a lovely stay, but I definitely wouldn’t be returning or recommending it to anyone.

  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!

  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.

  Wow wow what an amazing little Gem, of a peaceful retreat.

  The owners have created and landscaped two amazing Shepards huts allowing guests to enjoy their beautiful views. The hut is of very high standard with beautiful furnishings and little extras as others of said wild flowers inside give colour and beautiful fragrance. Being able to enjoy such beautiful place with no issue if the weather is questionable as the owners have created an outside area for guests to enjoy. A log burner, BBQ under cover made the break perfect. Options to cook on both as we did and enjoyed the warmth of the log burner into evening staying toasty warm. The early morning bird song was a joy with the sound of the sheep in the background. The surrounding area was also fabulous allowing visits to Malam cove, Bolton Abby and skipton Thankyou Alison & John Regards Janet Carl & Milo

  Idyllic shepards hut, in awe-inspiring countryside with the most hospitable hosts.

  Alison and John have created a piece of paradise in The Journeyman, a place to unwind and allow nature's balm to sooth away any strains and stresses. The Journeyman was equipped to the highest standard, with everything you could conceivably need for a relaxing stay, the covered outside seating area with an Esse log burner/BBQ was a great addition, as were the little touches which our hosts provided from beautifully hand picked flowers from the garden to the recommendations for walking in the area. The location was a great jumping off point for seeing all that Barnoldswick and the surrounding area had to offer. Both Skipton and Clitheroe are worth a visit for local cafes, a plethora of independant shops and the canal and Norman castle respectively. A truly memorable holiday, thank you.
