Nestled in the quaint village of Chipping, surrounded by idyllic Lancashire countryside, lies this attractive, detached home, Low Orchard House. Presented to a fine standard, this inviting retreat is perfect for families looking to escape from normal life and enjoy a refreshing break. Step into an entrance hallway where you can leave your walking gear before finding the open-plan living space, considered the social hub of the property. Get the woodburning stove roaring before you sink into the sumptuous sofa and search for something to watch on the Smart TV, while the designated chef of the house can relish in the kitchen, appointed with several modern appliances set around white units and a contemporary splashback. When the sun is shining, open the patio doors to bring the outside in, accessing the garden where you can enjoy lunch at the furniture, or simply kick back with a favourite beverage and admire the nature. When getting some shut-eye, there are three bedrooms to pick from; the ground-floor hosts the master with super-king-size bed and en-suite shower, whilst upstairs provides two king-size rooms, each with built-in wardrobes and matching units. Step under the rainfall shower or run yourself a warm bath following a day of excursions – whatever aids your relaxation the most. The historic village of Chipping lies in the Ribble Valley, meaning you are surrounded by plenty of scenic trails and footpaths, while only being a few paces from the village pubs. Venture into the town of Clitheroe, where you can enjoy attractions such as the Grade I listed castle, supposedly the smallest Norman castle in England, with all of a maze, sixteen acres of landscaped gardens and a museum, sure to offer plenty of entertainment for all ages. Browse the town’s market and pick up some local produce for a picnic, or indulge in a hearty breakfast at a café before strolling around the shops one afternoon. Take yourself further afield to the town of Skipton, considered the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, where you can observe its impressive castle and enjoy the lively atmosphere, whilst keen walkers will be drawn to the Forest of Bowland where plenty of footpaths can be explored, as well as activities including gliding, paragliding and fishing. Low Orchard House promises a charming retreat with loved ones, whatever time of year.

Handy to walk into Chipping to pubs and cafes, and local walks. A good central spot for exploring the Trough of Bowland. A welcome pint of milk to make a cup of tea would have been a nice touch, but nothing at all was provided. The boiler is annoying and wakes you up at 6 a.m. and keeps going late at night after 11pm. Oddly, there is no mirror in the main bathroom, which makes ablutions difficult. 13.5 tog duvets were far too warm for September, but no other bed linen was provided. Someone turned up to mow the lawn and weed the garden at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning. Nice to have a washing machine, but a decent sized airer would have been helpful. The owner lives next door, but didnât make any contact with us, other than when we text about key collection/departure. A good sized house, with plenty of facilities, and central for exploring and walking the local area,
