  Great house in a fantastic location. Very warm and comfortable and loved all the walks and wildlife. Unfortunately, the hottub was not working and whilst we were told about this a few days before arriving, from reading the visitor book, it's obvious the hottub hasn't worked much since the start of the year. We think it's disingenuous to keep marketing the hottub if its mostly not working! We also had no way to light the wood burner, as the gas lighter was empty and no matches provided. There were emergency matches but these were old and damp so of no use to us, or in an emergency. We tried the caretakers on all 3 of the numbers provided but received no callback despite leaving a voicemail. Given the isolated nature of the property perhaps a call from the caretaker when each guest has settled in would be helpful? The only form of contact from the house is a pay phone, which seems mean and impractical given many people don't carry cash these days. We very much enjoyed our stay but a few items above need attention. We had no difficulties but if we had, there is no real provision for emergencies.

  We all enjoyed our week at Waveney cottage despite the weather not being very good.

  The cottage is furnished to a high standard and very comfortable and it is in a very peaceful location. However, we were a little confused by the Aga as the original description stated an Aga, electric oven and hob so we thought we had an alternative and booked the property on that basis which was a bit misleading. However, we conquered the Aga. We would have appreciated a warning about the tricky staircase and low beam. It is not safe or suitable for elderly people, our age group was 75-85 with varying mobility problems. In other words we would not have booked the cottage on that basis. I think that a mention about this should be added In the description as it is a very important point. Also, the smaller bedroom ensuite toilet did not function properly. We were aware of the age of property and that it was listed and operated on LPG energy and in fact were very impressed by the spaciousness. The welcome package was very generous and the owner had gone to great lengths to make us comfortable, but had we known the disadvantages for our age group we would not have committed to it.

  Old Orchard Barn has the WOW!

  Factor from the second you drive down the winding country lane to the pebbled drive. Once inside the property you realise that the pictures don’t do this amazing property justice! The property is stunning and everything has been thought out so carefully and the welcome goodies were such a lovely touch. Mark and Leeanne made us so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them and throughout our booking they have responded quickly to any questions we had and even gave us some recommendations about pubs in the area. We went on holiday as six adults an eighteen month old and our pet dog and we made some amazing memories together. There is plenty to do and the hot tub was an added bonus. We fell in love with Old Orchard Barn and its surroundings. If you’re looking for a stunning, quiet property with amazing views then I can’t recommend Old Orchard Barn enough! Thank you to Mark and Leeanne for everything and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Lee, Emma and family x

  Photo of nice hot tub, text received day before arrival quote" The cover has recently been damaged, the wait time for a new one is a few months, unquote.

  On arrival 17 inch rip in joint of cover, months/year old looking at damage, all four buckles broken, green mold embedded in foam handles. I dont like untruths. Next day we got into hot tub, tingling feet, red rashes on legs, have had my own pools and hot tubs, obvious too much chlorine. I diluted it myself and sent a text not to add any more for the second week of stay as I had been informed it was offered. Chlorine needs to be added precise and carefully, health and safety should be at the fore. Cottage 450 years old in good condition, nice welcome pack, fenced garden for dog, had everything you would need. Again photos showed a nice dressing table in main bedroom, not there on arrival replaced by a clothes horse. Recycling bin containing previous owners and our recycling disappeared at weekend, not to be returned with no reason given. Feel the photos need an up date to help the customers see what is on offer before booking.

  We loved our stay at Hillcrest Shepherds hut.

  As a family of 5 it’s not always easy to find accommodation to suit us but this was a lovely little cabin with absolutely everything we needed. It was well maintained and very cleverly thought out to maximise the space. It had lots of lovely little touches - many of them hand built by the owners. The hot tub was clean, warm and easy to use with lovely views of the surrounding areas. As a working farm there were plenty of animals around including goats and horses and we were greeted with a bowl of freshly collected chicken eggs on arrival. The kids had a fantastic time and the friendly host was happy to tell us about some family friendly activities in the local area. Clitheroe castle museum and the wild boar park were particular highlights. We also had a great meal at Tilly’s in nearby chipping.
