Calder Cottage in The Ribble Valley, Whalley, Lancashire - Sleeps 4
About this cottage rental
Snug and inviting, Calder Cottage is a quintessential country abode with plenty of nooks and countryside views. Perfect for couples and families with small children, Calder’s double bedroom and twin room can accommodate up to four guests. It is also our only cottage that is now dog friendly for an additional fee of £15 per dog (maximum 2 dogs per stay). The modern bathroom has a full sized bath and overhead shower while the large kitchen and dining area is equipped with a washer, dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The quiet and comfy lounge offers up views of the large garden, which can be accessed through double doors. In warmer months, the private patio and dining area can be used for enjoying an evening meal, afternoon drinks or just relaxing with a good book in the sunshine. There’s something for everyone in the surrounding area. From horse riding on heather-clad hillsides, to wild winding climbs, and tempting trails for cyclists of all abilities - both on and off-road. Dean Clough reservoir and the beautiful nearby pine forests are practically on our doorstep. Pendle Hill, Stonyhurst, Marles Wood to Dinckley Bridge, Longridge Fell, Three Rivers, Dunsop Bridge and The Tolkien Trail are a just few of the many walks nearby. For days out by car, The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the seaside are all less than an hour away. We are perfectly situated for guests coming further afield as we’re close to Junction 31 of the M6 with very good transport links. Preston is a 30 min drive away where direct trains go to London (2 hrs), to Glasgow (2 hrs) and to Edinburgh (2 hrs 30 mins). Described as Lancashire and Yorkshire’s hub into and out of the North, Manchester and Leeds are approx 1 hr drive away and both cities have international airports.

Lovely well equipped bungalow. We were met by Sue who was kind enough to drop toys off for our 3 year old. She also messaged before our stay to see if we wanted bed guard setting up which was very helpfull. Lots to do for children near by and lots of room outside for kids to play

We stayed for 4 nights at this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean, very well equipped and close to local villages, pubs and shopping.
Our hosts Sue and Ian were very friendly and helpful on all aspects of our stay. Look forward to staying at this property again in the future.

This is a quiet, peaceful location where my mother and I could totally relax.
We liked the patio door which looks out over a nice garden, also with a view. The sun sets on this side which was beautiful.
We also enjoyed being inside this stylish apartment, in an up to date style. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into the details when decorating.
It was also extremely clean.

Brithday Break
From the moment we arrived at this gated cottage, we know we were going to enjoy our stay, safe for our grandson's to run about in the grounds .The cottage was spotless, warm, great amenities. Ian and Sue gave us a warm welcome, with Sue showing us around, Ian putting out a football net for the boys. The boy's really enjoyed there freedom. The local pubs were great for eating out, The Aspinall, and The Black Bull, (we liked the best).Ian and Sue had not problem with us doing fireworks on my Birthday. Will recommend this holiday cottage to family and friends. Well done Ian and Sue and team.

Family Staycation
Set in stunning countryside and within beautifully kept grounds. A really lovely cottage which was perfect for my husband and I to meet up with his sister & brother-in-law. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we required for a short stay. Very comfortable beds and a spacious double bedroom. All the furnishings were lovely and there were plenty of towels and a bathrobe each. Good welcome pack which included tea, coffee, milk, orange juice and biscuits. Highly recommend and would return if travelling to this area again.

Lovely long weekend break
A beautifully presented property which was spotlessly clean and modern. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped with everything you could need with extra bits like tin foil and dishwasher tablets provided by the property owner. Comfy beds and quiet area surrounding the property so we could enjoy listening to all the baby birds in the trees surrounding our patio. The parasol was perfect and came in very handy for both drizzle and sunshine during our stay! Everything listed on the advertisement for the property was present and working perfectly. The check in time of 3pm and check out of 11am was notably better than other places we’d looked at and it made an appreciable difference not having to rush out on Monday morning! The only minor considerations were that the interior doors were slightly stiff to open or close which proved slightly disruptive to the person in the other bedroom, and my friend suggested a light for the patio perhaps? But they are very minor points in what is a spectacular property with very thoughtful owners!

Fantastic cottage break
An immaculate cottage with a very high standard of interior decor. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a high level of comfort throughout. The welcome was very friendly and we were given loads of info on nearby attractions by the lady that greeted us.

Perfect Picturesque Getaway
Ian and Sue have outdone themselves with their rental properties and beautiful landscapes. What an immense pleasure it was to find this gem and get the opportunity to stay for a few days in one of their cottages. It was beyond our expectations, but what made the whole experience perfect was the attention to detail, care, and hospitality afforded us by Ian and Sue. Definitely recommend this rental to any and all! Hoping to make it back to this area in the future. Thank you so very much for the memory of a lifetime!

great stay and perfect hosts
We have stayed at the cottages before, and chose the smaller cottage this time, as four of us and not six - thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the flexibility offered by Ian and Sue. Fantastic décor and home from home, so will be returning again in the near future - thank you again for a wonderful stay :)

Lovely cottage, very well equipped
We've just spent a lovely week staying in Calder Cottage. The cottage was clean and very well equipped. As we have young children we tend to cook dinner for ourselves and the kitchen was a home from home enabling us to do this with relative ease. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided, along with dressing gowns. Sue brought some toys around for the kids which was a lovely touch and very well received. Even though this cottage is attached to the owners home you didn't get the feeling you were being constantly watched but felt if you needed something they would be more than happy to assist. Overall a lovely place that received a thumbs up from the kids and we'll definitely return at some point.

Perfect cottage, perfect location, perfect hosts.
The cottage fulfilled all our needs and our hosts were particularly welcomming and helpful. Thank you Sue, for helping me out with hairspray, perfume etc. when our suitcase got lost on the way from Sweden to Manchester airport.

Excellent property that is so well looked after and amazingly clean!
Fantastic property in the heart of the Ribble Valley countryside. We had everything we could possible need and more. Ian and Sue are fantastic hosts and give you lots of privacy but are there if you need anything. So wonderful we have rebooked to come back again in August and I suspect will be booking many more stays in the future
Many thanks

Beautiful modern cottage in serene setting
The cottage is accessed by a private driveway off a narrow road, so privacy is pretty well guaranteed. A spacious kitchen with all the necessary appliances opens up to the hallway and access to the bedrooms, bathroom and lounge. Outside is a private patio and adequate parking. Furnishings are well chosen for the cottage, and beds are comfortable. The owners are welcoming and helpful, even providing additional assistance in the form of maps, for proposed walks.
We loved our stay, would fully recommend Calder Cottage, and will consider it for a return to the beautiful Ribble Valley.
