Cottage holiday rentals in Ribble Valley District

Lovely cottage and surrounding canals/area. Our family had a great time celebrating my husbands 40th birthday. Amy was a fantastic host, accommodating special requests for bday decor and cake. Prior to our stay gave us recommendations of places to take our children and local trains etc. Then during our stay answered my questions very quickly. The cottage itself is beautiful, lovely decor, cosy and has a relaxing feel to it. On arrival we had a welcome basket with little treats and all the little extras like toiletries, washing up tabs etc were available. The hot tub was great, we used it three times during our stay! Our kids were able to play in the large garden and there were lots of games/toys at the cottage to keep them busy. Overall - we couldn’t recommend Top Locks cottage more! We had the best time staying here and would love to come and stay again.

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

absolute amazing, everyone was gutted to be leaving even the dog, what a stunning house and it's settings, can't wait to be booking to come back.

We all felt incredibly spoilt at tower cottage. The accommodation just had a wonderful, relaxed, comforting playful energy about it. It felt that every ornament or artifact that the cottage held had a story behind it and what a privilege for us. It was joyous. The grounds, well that was something else. Early morning Deer, the call of the chiff chaff, the fast low flight of the sparrow hawk through the woods, the soothing sound of the stream in an evening, a great crested grebe joining us for our Sunday morning dip and the joy of the marble run in the woods reminded us to freely play all weekend as a friendship group. Living next door, Ruth and mark were on hand if we needed help or advice without ever feeling like our time and space was compromised. Relaxed wholesome hosts who love where they live. Their kindness was infectious. We will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay. The accommodation was super sweet and perfect for a calm getaway. The home was decorated well and could tell it was well thought with extra touches such as Prosecco, mini chocolates and robes. Would definitely stay again and the hosts helped us with the hot tub. Thank you!

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

Charming and full of character, with fabulous pool and hot tub. Loved our stay with family. Granddaughter filled with excitement throughout our stay.

Booked for our 20th wedding anniversary and used for a base to explore Skipton and a day out in York. Close enough to Skipton to enjoy the town and the night life. The Granary was immaculate. Hot Tub amazing and already planning a second visit. The location is stunning, peaceful and we enjoyed every minute .

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely little cottage very clean and well appointed. Bit of road noise but you soon get used to it. Great location for the Dales and Gargrave which is a very attractive village in itself. The cottage is by itself which is superb if you need peace and quiet. A period cottage with character and very pleasant views. Garden is relaxing and self contained. Laura was very efficient and communicated well. I will be returning.

Myself, my wife, kids and dogs had a fantastic stay in high Bentham. What a great location, plenty to do which ever way you like to turn out of the cottage. We’d like to thank Lee for the great stay, which was clean and as described in the listing. Plenty of room for us all over the 3nights 4days. If we’re ever back in the area, we will be contacting Lee again that’s for sure!

The cottage was ideal for our four night visit to the area with two young children. The cottage was clean, pretty, and comfortable, with thoughtful notes around the house to make everything easy to find. The lovely window seat overlooking the river was a favourite spot and the gorgeous garden were we could eat outside watching the wildlife over the river was perfect and so peaceful! The folder of useful places to visit was super handy and the children loved the local walks and in particular the fabulous tea room (great menu for adults and children). It’s only 30 minutes to the bottom of the lakes and caves and waterfalls within 20min meant there was lots to see for us as a young family. Claire was really helpful in her recommendations and she has a friendly neighbour who was happy to guide us too. The village is a lovely community of welcoming people. The children particularly loved the house for the river, the games room and the treats that Claire left in the kitchen to welcome us!

We had an amazing 2-night stay at Jane’s place. The house is absolutely beautiful and set in breathtaking surroundings—the photos really don’t do it justice, as the real thing is far more exquisite. The decor is warm and homely, yet spacious enough to comfortably fit the five of us. Both bathrooms were spotless—one with a shower and the other with a bathtub, which gave us the flexibility to choose. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including ample fridge space. The garden is also worth mentioning—gorgeous and clearly very well cared for. We especially loved the fireplace; it truly felt like the cherry on top of an already perfect stay. The house manual was detailed and extremely helpful, covering everything we needed to know. Jane was a wonderful host—so warm and thoughtful. She welcomed us with a lovely letter and some delicious biscuits, which made us feel right at home from the start. Highly recommended!

Just had the cosiest stay at Triangle Cottage! Very tastefully decorated, the comfiest bed and the dreamy rolled top bath with the views made it all the more relaxing! It had everything I needed for a wee retreat with my dog in the countryside. Perfect walkable distance to the city centre and various hikes around. Strongly recommend!

We had such a lovely stay in the cottage, it is very homely and fits it perfectly with the surrounding farm. The beds are VERY comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. We did lots of walking from the cottage, and also went out in the car to explore further - there are no local facilities local without getting in the car. Nicola (farmer) and coworker were lovely and friendly. Only downside (very slight) is very bumpy lane getting to cottage. Thank you for a great stay.

A beautifully renovated cottage ideally located for our visit. Everything in the cottage has been finished to a very high standard making it comfortable and practical without fussiness. Tracey was quick to respond to any questions and the welcome pack provided all the information we needed.

We had a wonderful stay at Lynne’s cottage. The place is cozy, clean and comfortable. It is minutes from the Main Street. Lynne was a great host, responsive to our messages and thoughtful. She left us fresh milk and bread, hot chocolate and biscuits. We really enjoyed our time in the cottage and would highly recommend anyone who wanted a restful break!

A lovely, spacious property in quiet countryside. We loved our stay and hope to return!

It was a pleasure to stay in Rachel’s beautiful little cottage in Clitheroe. It is charming and full of character and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay in the most picturesque and peaceful countryside. Rachel was extremely helpful and informative and her communication was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend staying in the cottage it was a wonderful experience.

We stayed at Harry's place for just one night but wished it was for longer after getting a feel for the place.The accommodation is beautifully designed with brilliant features in every corner.We had everything we needed at the cottage and Harry is a fab communicator giving us lots of helpful information.The town itself was buzzing with interesting characters and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ulverston and can't wait to return.

We loved staying in this remote idyllic home. Just right for two, with beautiful views to the south and west. A perfect base for exploring the Lake District. Loved it

The River Barn exceeded all of our expectations and was even more beautiful than the pictures portrayed. The River Barn was very comfortable (the bed was awesome) and all amenities to prepare meals, enjoy a BBQ or go on a picnic were readily available. The location was perfect for our purposes; we greatly appreciated the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the property but it also provided easy access to Windemere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick where we enjoyed going on several walks. We can't say enough positive comments about our host, Otto communicated with us on several occasions and provided us with lots of information --- where to eat, where to visit and nearby walks. If interested in enjoying a delicious Sunday roast, be sure to reserve a table early at one of the two pubs within easy walking distance. We highly recommend staying at the River Barn and can't wait to visit again!!

We had a lovely stay at The Croft. The view was absolutely stunning and we had such a peaceful time. We loved the farm setting - lots of sheep and there was a horse that greeted us every morning. The Croft was very cosy. The host was very friendly and responsive and provided some good local recommendations. The road to get to the Croft was uneven but is only a minute long. The location is really good - nearby to Skipton and Haworth which were two lovely places to visit. Thank you Sam :) we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our weekend.

We stayed at The Barn at Cocker House as a short mini-moon, both in need of some chilled relaxation and it's exactly what we got. Lesley was warm and welcoming and the place is an absolute gem. It has everything you could ask for, beautiful surroundings, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and a cosy wood burner for those slightly chilly evenings. There are plenty of walks in and around the area and great pubs within walking distance if you fancy a drink or a meal out. We would definitely recommend to others.
