Previous visitors' comments about Fox Ghyll:

Fox Ghyll is a lovely property in a very good location. The cottage is very spacious and this was ideal with a party of 6 adults and 2 young children. The children loved the garden, wendy house and the toys.
Mr Bacon, High Wycombe, March 2013

Peace and quiet. Well appointed kitchen. Excellent choice of books and games. Quality of fixtures and fittings. The piano which was a nice bonus. Attitude of the owners. Plenty of space inside and out. Plus a TV in the master bathroom!
Mr Chadwick, Chorley, September 2012

The Ribble Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty and the Forest of Bowland equally beautiful. The area offers lovely countryside, good walking opportunities and excellent eating out. The house was outstanding in its position and facilities.
Mr Duffy, London, July 2012

We enjoyed the location, the superb facilities in the house and the availability of the playhouse for children. The hosts were generous and kind, organising extra equipment for our twin grandchildren. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We participated in the Jubilee celebrations in the village on a very warm and sunny day. It is likely that we shall book Fox Ghyll in the future.
