What our customers say about their holidays

• Sally - Verified booking

  The property has been renovated to a very high standard and has the feel of a boutique hotel.

  The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The main living area is much lighter and brighter than it looks in the pictures, but our small dog did not appreciate the glass doors in the main downstairs living area - he walked into them quite hard twice so we had to leave them permanently open and keep something in front of them at all times. The bathrooms are very tight if like my husband you are tall and rather portly (the large feathered bird ornaments were very awkward for him when drying himself after squeezing out of the shower). My mother-in-law and I, though, delighted in the beautiful wallpaper and had no problems with the small space. Whalley is lovely and we would highly recommend the butcher and the wine bar, but parking can be a bit of a problem. We did manage to park outside the property all but 2 of the days, but on the 2 we couldn't we did have to park quite a way away. It's a busy little place! We did feel some more accessible coat hooks would have been advantageous - it was drizzly while we were there and the only place to put a damp coat was either on the back of a dining chair or in a cupboard marked for coats and boots that you needed to be very slim and a contortionist to access (squeezing behind a sofa in front of a tv with a standard lamp blocking the opening of the door). We very much enjoyed our stay and felt the cottage was well-priced. We would definitely recommend it.

  My husband and I and our 2 dogs had a lovely stay at No.

  10 - we had a wonderful time at this cozy cottage in the pretty village of Whalley. The advertisement of the property, facilities and location are all accurate and matched our expectations. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped, and we enjoyed the welcome hamper with treats for both us and our two mini dachshunds. The owners contacted us via text to check everything was ok on arrival and were on hand for anything needed. The village has lots of pubs, restaurants and little shops to explore, and there was a SPAR and a COOP on the doorstep for any groceries we needed. We ordered a couple of lovely takeaways so if you don’t fancy cooking you don’t have to with all the amenities nearby. The weather was rainy for most of our stay, but we didn’t mind as there were lots of lovely walks nearby, either walking distance or a short car ride away. When we returned to the cottage, we had plenty of entertainment options with board games, books, and access to Netflix, Apple, Disney and Prime. We stayed for six nights and it was the perfect way to celebrate the new year. We highly recommend this home stay to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable break with or without your furry friends.

  On entering this property first reaction is “wow” , hats off to the designer, stunning.

  Owners have thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable.Welcome pack a nice touch, even a pint of milk in the fridge, thoughtful. Property is extremely well equipped, kitchen has everything you will ever need, not that we cooked anything as lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, perfect location, nearest supermarket just outside the properties rear gate. Four of us were there for a week and had glorious weather, the rear courtyard was well used, a little private sun trap, with table and chairs, this had it’s very own outside toilet, very handy. Next to this was was laundry room, washer and drier, again we never used this ,but yes, thought of everything. Would I recommend this to anyone..110% Would I stay here again….didn’t want to leave. Well done Philip and Judi, keep up the good work , again, “WOW”

  Wallerthwaite Cottage was very good with every aspect excellent.

  Our stay was enhanced by the fact that we had very good weather which enabled us to visit many places of interest.e.g.York; Brimham Rocks;Fountains Abbey;Mother Shiptons cave. We were very disappointed by the fact that we visited Castle Howard only to find that the house and gardens were closed as they were "Filming there' This all brought home to me the fact that one must book if you want to visit these places because the same applied to Yorkminster. To cap it all, whilst my wife walked round the York City walls ,I went to the National Railway Museum only to find it was closed. All in all ,you would think this all a disaster but 'no, it was disappointing but,there were other things to do which more than made up for it Would I go back to Wallerthwaite Cottage, An emphatic "Yes".

  We spent a long weekend in Whalley to introduce some friends to the Ribble Valley.

  What an unexpected and added bonus this cottage was. Quiet location (apart from the church bells on Sunday morning but what a lovely sound), beautifully furnished and the decoration was stunning. It was well-equipped throughout, especially the kitchen, with a pretty courtyard garden to the rear. It far surpassed any of the rentals we have stayed in previously. Only one point to note - if there are 4 people staying, the bedroom at the back is smaller than the front room with limited space. Whalley itself is a great base for exploring the area. Plenty of pubs, bars, restaurants and takeaways though booking is a must especially at weekends. The train station is only a ten minute walk so easy to get into Clitheroe for a bit of variety. Highly recommended property if visiting the area.
