Stoneycross Cottage Reviews

A lovely spotlessly clean cottage which is very spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday . It is in a lovely quiet location but only 40 mins walk into ribchester village or there is a bus stop literally 150 yards up the road which will take you to where you want to go from Preston to Clitheroe . At night because it is only surrounded by fields the dark skies can be enjoyed by star gazers while relaxing on the terrace . Inside the house is huge with 4 bedrooms with very comfortable beds a large bathroom living room massive kitchen and lovely lounge all separate rooms .There is also a games annexe with various games to enjoy. Parking for 1 car in private drive and extra room at front of house for 2 or 3 more . Short 5 min drive from the cottage is a lovely village called Hurst Green when there is a lovely circular walk called the Tolkien trail it is over 7mile but mainly on easy to do tracks with beautiful scenery and a lovely pub at the end . The owner Kathryn was easily reached by text and would come straight around if she was needed and always replied to any questions or issues we had .Also the lovely welcome hamper was much appreciated after a long drive . To sum up it us a lovely well equipped dog friendly spacious cottage in lovely surroundings with other places easily accessible by car bus or on foot .
Dorothy
Stoneycross Cottage is a lovely property bright, airy and comfortable with beautiful countryside views. I went with my three daughters and two granddaughters, 6&7 years old. The little ones particularly loved the games annex, where they could play safely and independently, allowing us grownups to sit, chill and chat. All in all it was a super relaxing weekend.
Rebecca
We had a great stay at Stoneycross cottage. The property was really clean and well kept and had everything we needed. We had one small issue while there and Peter, the owner was straight round to sort it and it was lovely to meet him. Although the garden is small the views are fantastic which makes it a great area to sit out in. The local area is well worth visiting. Would highly reccomend.
Mitchel
Really enjoyed our stay. Full of character & property situated in a lovely area! Goodies left was a nice touchwould stay again no problem!
Georgina
Beautiful, well equipped, warm cottage ideal for families. We had a great time at this cottage. Bedrooms were comfortable with excellent quality bedding. Everywhere was clean and the kitchen was well equipped with an excellent range of utensils, crockery and cooking equipment. Well equipped main bathroom with fast flowing hot water. Games room is a separate annexe with shower, loo and heating. Kids had a great time in there. A peaceful location, yet plenty to see and do within a short drive. Would highly recommend.
Frederick
Stoneycross cottage was warm comfortable with plenty of games options for the family. We spent more time indoors than planned due to the weather and appreciated all aspects of the accommodation. There was one occasion when a lighting circuit tripped and the owner was round to sort it within 10 minutes. The only negative was having to go outside to the annex to do the washing when the weather was bad. Overall we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone
Kerrie
This place is a gem. Plenty of room for 7 adults to stretch out and relax. Beautiful country views from the rooms and kitchen very well appointed. Only wish we stayed longer. Very well located
Felicity
Property was lovely and brilliant hosts. Beautiful views with cows in the field! The property had nice touches like fresh flowers and a lovely welcome basket. Felt they provided good value for money. They provided little things that make a big difference like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. All the beds were really comfortable. The bed linen was a high quality and the towels were lovely and thick. They also didnt skimp on them they provided everyone a bath sheet, towel and hand towel. The property was well placed to explore the area. We went all over from the local Longridge to Boundary Mill. Travelled to loads of places with the dogs for lovely walks. The cottage was well equipped. Loved the games room. Also handy it had a washer and a dryer. The property was spacious and you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. Had an issue with the cooker which stopped working. The host came around straight away to check and to get an engineer. They went above and beyond to resolve the issue and offered to cook our meal or make us something. They made us a lovely hotpot! All in all we had a lovely stay and if we were in the area again we would definitely stay here.
Heather
What a lovely cottage stoneycross is! We booked the cottage for my mums 70th so we could celebrate together, all 7 of us ranging from 3 years old to 70. The cottage was immaculate and the gift pack left on the kitchen table was a wonderful surprise, so many delicious snacks and fresh bread. The kitchen was stocked with essentials too, although we had brought our own too as we weren't sure what to expect. The place was really spacious, and the kids particularly loved the games room. The beds were super comfy and the shower was great too. I was desperate to try the large bath with the beautiful views, although I didn't have the time, my mum did and she loved it. We just wished we'd booked for longer! We definitely want to come back, just need to make up an occasion now. Thank you Peter and Kathryn for a wonderful stay!
Lovely cottage, well equipped and very spacious. The main lounge large, having a second and the gaming annex very useful. Beds very comfy. Good location for exploring Ribble valley and forest of Bowland
Weve just returned from a lovely stay at Stoneycross Cottage. The cottage was exactly as described.. comfortable, wellequipped, and full of charm. The games den was a fantastic addition and provided plenty of entertainment. The surrounding scenery was absolutely stunning, and we especially loved seeing the cows and sheep each day.. it really added to the peaceful countryside experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
