About this cottage rental

Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane is this tranquil and picturesque getaway, perfect for a break away to enjoy the surrounding countryside and the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all with the convenience of having Blackburn and Preston close at hand if needed.

Located within the grounds of the owners properties, the building would have originally been stables before they were sympathetically converted to a very high standard, retaining plenty of character whilst offering modern home comforts for a high-end luxury stay at any time of year.

Downstairs, a light and spacious open-plan living area welcomes you, with comfortable sofa and armchair, smart TV, and the log-burner making a lovely feature in the space. An initial basket of logs are provided for you, so you can get that cosy glow straightaway! The kitchen and dining area are immaculate and very well equipped, with everything you need to create your favourite holiday meals, including dishwasher, fridge-freezer, full oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster. . There is also a washing machine for convenience if needed.

Upstairs, there are 2 separate bedrooms both with tasteful and stylish décor. The master has a king-size bed, ample storage and a views out over the fields. The second bedroom offers great flexibility, with a full size single bed, and then the option of having an extra trundle bed if required, suitable to sleep a child. The bathroom is smart and modern, being fully tiled with a very generous sized walk-in shower enclosure complete with a large rainfall showerhead, basin and WC.

Outside, there is an open courtyard area to the front, and ample private parking for up to 2 cars nearby.

Locally there is a pub and a shop within walking distance for convenience, and also plenty more amenities close at hand within a few miles drive. The historic market towns of Clitheroe and Longridge are both within easy reach, offering a delightful selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and attractions. Other local attractions include Clitheroe Castle, Bowland Wild Boar Park, Browsholme Hall, and Blackpool which is under an hour’s drive away.

If you want to immerse yourself in the countryside, there are multiple footpaths nearby giving you the option to have a leisurely walk right from the door and explore the rural area. There is also the Ribble Way, a 70 mile long stretch of beautiful scenery that can be picked up in several different locations. The Mellor Millennium Viewpoint is also very close by, and is a great spot to take in the far reaching views on a clear day.

Book easily now and start looking forward to your next break away. Booking through the Finest Retreats website will guarantee the best rates.

This is a lovely, cosy cottage for an extended stay. Good location for us visiting family nearby. My only criticism is that instructions on how to use the cooker would have been useful! Otherwise, everything worked perfectly. We haven't been in Summer but the surrounding area is lovely. Very responsive to my questions before arriving.

Loved the accommodation and location. Perfect size for the two of us, kitchen was fitted out with everything we needed, shower was great. Definitely would return. Crockery and glasses all needed cleaning before use as they were all greasy (assumably from the dishwasher which we didn’t use). The oven and coffee machine also needed cleaning (we didn’t use the oven for this reason). The toilet seat was cracked which was quite ‘uncomfortable’ to use too.

Convenient for our needs, and well appointed and comfortable furniture 1) The staircase was dangerous -uncarpeted stairs and insufficient handrails 2) Toilet seat was broken - and an inadequate repair meant that the owners were aware of this 3) no downstairs WC unacceptable in accommodation of this price/quality

Lovely Lancashire Getaway

Our first visit to Lancashire and we were not disappointed. Lovely walks and a a great pub nearby with fantastic views. Our cottage was charming and the owner helpful and friendly. A pub within walking distance with great food and fantastic views was also appreciated. In the kitchen: Potato masher More mugs More cereal/crisp bowls We couldn’t get the grill to work In bathroom: Fan was noisy if bathroom used at night. Bath/shower Towels were on the small side Master bedroom- Roman blind didn’t work properly (Well you did ask! None of the above marred our holiday)
