  Really convenient for town. Kids loved the pool table basement. Everywhere was very clean and comfortable. Photos do not do the place justice. Very spacious.

• "Absolutely disgusting."

  Upon arrival there was laundry bags over flowing with dirty washing all over the floor. Rubbish in bins. Sugar everywhere? Damp smell?

  We arrived minutes after your arrival to apologise and take away the washing. Came later with a brand new towels and there was no mention of any issues. You had our number to contact us. We were also disappointed in the way you left the property. Dog wee stain on lounge carpet and very nasty grooves in the interior door made by your dog. We are sorry you were so disappointed by your visit and hope you find a property more to your liking next time. Property Owner

  Twice we had to park in another street.

  We are sorry you were unable to park closer to the property. This is not something we can control. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely few days at Jam Pot Cottage."

  The cottage is comfortable and was surprisingly spacious for the two of us. The main bedroom is a good size with a comfortable bed, although, as an adult, I wouln't have wanted to use the second bedroom, due to the low ceilings. The cottage is well equipped - we ate in a couple of times and found everything we needed. The snooker table in the basement was a bonus. It's in a good position in Longridge, close to shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs. The town is well provided with supermarkets. The closest pub is on the same road as the cottage. It's a nicely refurbished pub which does good food, but when we were there was not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. There's lots to visit in the area. The Forest of Bowland is beautiful and in mid May very quiet. Ribchester is the nearest next town, with Roman remains and in a lovely position on the Ribble. I must just put in a word for the Blackburn Cathedral - a lovely church. I would recommend this cottage and this less well-known corner of Lancashire.

  Thank you for your positive helpful feedback Property Owner

• "A lovely and charming holiday home in a part of England we would visit again."

  Communication with the property owners was excellent; we had an issue with the front door lock and the owners were very quick to respond and fix the problem. This was much appreciated. We had a very pleasant weekend and would recommend this property to friends and family.

• "Overall the property was lovely, great location just up the road from town and really lovely decor."

  Owner kindly left us enough for 4 cups of tea, coffee and one dog treat - perhaps it would have been a nice touch to leave enough tea and coffee for the entire stay? Washing machine in basement which we didn’t use but may come in handy for some. Comfortably would sleep a family with older children, but the upstairs attic bedroom had very low ceilings - as a fairly tall group of couples, we couldn’t actually stand up (smallest of us being 5”8) so that was awkward when getting ready for the day. Steep stairs & out of the way room would make this more suitable for older children, but very out the way & you can’t hear anything from the downstairs bedroom. One very clean & tidy bathroom, and the shower was lovely. Also bath available if this is of interest to some after a long walk. However, we did find it slightly deceiving from photos! The sofas (despite not allowing dogs on them, totally understandable & we wouldn’t do this at home) still had a cover of an old pair of curtains on them, which weren’t very in keeping or comfortable. The twin beds were also a very firm mattress on which you could feel the springs. Not a total deal breaker but I’d struggle sleeping on them more than 3 nights! Kitchen facilities were limited despite being self catering, and fees for removing items meant nothing was left behind in terms of oil or seasonings - something I’d imagine most guests buy then are forced to throw away. Perhaps this is a Sykes requirement rather than the properties, but it felt wasteful as we were unable to take food home with us due to living in the south west. Plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses & bowls which came in handy as we like to cook. Did need to wash a fair few of them thoroughly before hand as they were dusty / some residue on glasses. I would also hesitate to class this as dog friendly. The garden has a communal path between the house and the garden, which is gated, so you wouldn’t be able to let the dog out quickly & they need to be monitored quite heavily due to low walls (an easy escape into next doors garden!). Very steep stairs also meant it would be impractical for an older clientele, and we had to carry the dog down to the basement each time as we were worried about her on the steep wooden stairs with gaps in. The price was fair as a fairly last minute booking, but the property was much smaller - especially the garden - than the pictures had lead us to believe. Overall we may stay again, but probably would arrange alternative care for our dog & would come with shorter friends :)

  We consider all feedback and see how we can make improvements. The feedback you have given does not reflect the majority. We hope you have more success in the future with other properties. Property Owner

  The enclosed garden was well kept and ideal for our small dog. The information folder was very useful as we did not know the area very well. Thankyou Andrew for an enjoyable Holiday.

• "We thought Jam Pot cottage was charming."

  It is obviously a very old property, but the modernisation has been done nicely, without spoiling the character of the building. The sitting room is surprisingly large, but cosy, with a little log-burner. The bedrooms are fine, with nice bed linen and a comfortable bed (we only used the double room). The false wall arrangement seems a little odd; it is a rather cramped storage area with a hanging rail and a large open platform upon which to store clothes, but it worked ok. The extra room, which we called the dressing room, was very useful. Everything in the bathroom worked as it should, but be warned, the bath is shorter than normal to fit the space, which was marvellous for under 5’ tall me, but not for my tall husband. The kitchen is quite well-equipped with a lovely big table. The coffee pod machine is a nice extra, although we stuck to the aged cafetière. As we always use loose tea at home we appreciated the tea pot, but there is no strainer or cosy (although we brought our own since rental cottages never seem to have the latter). To make it even better the kitchen could do with a few decent knives (even a good-sized cook’s knife and a paring knife) rather than just the big, blunt carving knife, boning knife and bread knife. Although the crockery was generally perfectly fine, the mugs seem to be permanently stained and look a bit off-putting. A quick review of what’s currently provided would seem to be in order (Smaller mixing bowl, a small milk jug, butter dish, toast rack etc would all be welcome). We didn’t use the basement except to do a quick wash in the machine down there, but we thought it would be a useful space if families with older children were staying. The garden was fine. Although it was October when we stayed it was warm enough to sit outside sometimes with a cup of coffee and admire the view, which is lovely. All in all we had a great stay. Longridge is a great base for walks and the little town (or big village?) has everything we could want. It was great to be in such a welcoming place. We would particularly recommend the Station Cafe for breakfast or lunch, whilst Booths is fantastic for good quality food and drink. The Dog Inn is just yards from the cottage; it is friendly and does good food.

• "Jam pot cottage was gorgeous."

  Lovely idea of dogs bowl and treat was appreciated. Also arrived to milk, tea bags and biscuits which was great! Not far from the fells and good base for visiting different places. Pool table in basement was a good addition when the weather is not so good. Only downside was the parking which is 1st come 1st served and the garden was separated from the house by a communal pathway which we were unaware of. Certainly didn't spoil our stay though.
