“It would benefit from an extra armchair when there are 4 adults staying to allow for sociable conversation (we really do get together to catch up and relax).”

I sat on the floor in the living room with cushions 2 nights running. It would be less noticeable in the summer when sitting outside would be feasible. 1 of our party dropped something under the bed & discovered quite a bit of dust under the beds. A little shelf along the fence by the hottub would be great to put drinks on & fairy lights under the roof would have been an amazing idea. Surprised no coasters in the living room & bedrooms to protect the lovely furniture & only 4 mats/3 coasters ...

A little shelf along the fence by the hottub would be great to put drinks on & fairy lights under the roof would have been an amazing idea. Surprised no coasters in the living room & bedrooms to protect the lovely furniture & only 4 mats/3 coasters in the dining room wasn't enough. Our flip flops all got soaked by the overspill of the hottub so the mat by the back door felt a little small/inadequate. The cottage was beautiful - modern, well-kept, parking & location excellent which really made these little niggly points or potential improvements stand out. Fixing these would make it exceptional. We would return although might check out other cottages to make sure we didn't have to sit in a line on the sofa or with someone on the floor.

“Lovely cottage in a quiet location and well equipped.”

Suggestion - trim trees/shrubs at bottom of garden because view across the valley is now obscured.

“The photos for Sherburne Cottage really do not do it justice!”

It is a gorgeous cottage which is finished to a really high spec and has wonderful views. We didn't realise that it was in a 'complex' of other holiday cottages of varying sizes (some are for 2 people some are for 16 with games rooms etc) until we arrived there and they have all been beautifully built and complement each other well. There was a large family in the cottage next door to us and a hen do in the one across the way and although we heard them when we were outside in the garden and hot tub we couldn't hear them when we were indoors so we weren't disturbed at all. There is also an office on site and you are provided with the mobile number for a member of staff in case of emergencies which is a really great touch. The hot tub is an added bonus and is really well located and very private so you are not overlooked by the cottages nearby and we loved sitting in the hot tub watching the sun set over the valley. We really loved the location and the area and we are already planning a return trip as we didn't do everything we wanted to!

“Amazing amazing amazing”

A brilliant week in these cottages. Photos didn’t do it justice - a beautiful and spotlessly clean cottage with great facilities - the hot tub was a favourite with my 7 and 3 year old! And the owner couldn’t have been more helpful - inviting my son up to sit on his tractors (a big highlight for him!) and suggesting things to do and places to visit. Great location with lovely pubs within walking distance. And loads in the area. Couldn’t recommend enough.

“The place was great had everything you needed.”

Staff really good especially when we had a power cut, kept well informed via texts even called in person offering candles, blankets etc. The only downside was Poor internet signal upstairs and when you have 2 kids wanting to watch their tablet before bed, not good. Maybe a Tv would of been nice in both bedrooms. Apart from that we all had an enjoyable time. Would definately come back.

- Miss Hughes, July 2018
“Fantastic, modern holiday cottage.”

Perfect place for a short break.

- Mr Cuthbert, June 2018
“We had a superb time away.”

Our holiday cottage was lovely and was far bigger than we expected with a lovely outside space with hot tub. Would definitely go back again.

Had a lovely weekend, not much do without travelling but as for the cottage it was fantastic and hot tub great, perfect way to relax thank you

- Mr Grace, June 2018
“Beautiful place to stay.”

Had a really pleasant stay and the hot tub was an added bonus especially!

- Mr Armstrong, May 2018
“Beautiful - it made the wedding weekend so special.”

- Mrs Grimes, May 2018
“Our stay at Sherburne Cottage was absolutely amazing.”

Ideal location. The transaquility, and panoramic views with a hot tub! What more could you ask for! The cottage was designed to a very high standard and well equipped with everything you needed. Our 16yr old son didn’t want to come home. It was well worth travelling 280 miles for! We had a fantastic time and will be recommending this to all our family and friends.

- Mr Humphries, April 2018
“This property exceeded my expectations, with other bookings that I've done online you tend to find that the property isn't as nice/clean as the photos suggest but it was really pleasing to see a property that exceeded the photos.”

We had a really nice time, the cottage was relaxing but had all of the amenities you need - and will be booking again!

- Mrs Johnson, March 2018
“Beautiful property, the owners have thought of everything you could want.”

- Ms Fisher, September 2017
“Overall we had a fantastic stay but we felt the cottage was more appropriate for adults /families with older children - we have a 6 month old and the hard, slippy flooring throughout is not baby friendly.”

- Mrs Davidson, August 2017
“Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Just come back from a week at Sherburne Cottage in Ribchester in the Ribble Valley. On arrival it certainly has the wow factor, very well presented and equipped. Lovely wood floors, plenty of windows for scenic views over Lancashire. Very spacious, photos don't do it justice, fully equipped kitchen with drinks chiller, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine etc and also utility with toilet, washing machine and storage. Upstairs 2 excellent sized bedrooms, 1 super king size very comfy bed with en suite wet room and the other a good sized twin again with its own en suite wet room. The design has been really well thought out. Outside lovely patio with table and chairs over looking the valley and a lovely hot tub to chill out in. Kids were made up with smart tv and wifi. It's a 10 minute walk into Ribchester which is a lovely village, great food at the Ribchester Arms. The village has a Spar, children's play area, football field and basketball court all in well kept condition and next to Potters Barn for lovely ice cream. Clitheroe is a 15 min drive away, a lovely town with nice shops and cafés. Would definitely recommend Sherburne Cottage, worth every penny. A very relaxing break.

- Rbenth, April 2017
“A lovely property in a lovely location.”

I would highly recommend the cottage or one of the adjacent cottages at Oak Bank Farm and I hope to return again.

- Mr Wright, April 2017
“Lovely cottage.”

Good communication regarding arrival, directions, key collection etc. Would book again and would certainly recommend.

- Miss Bentham, April 2017
“Fabulous weekend away!”

Stayed here with my husband and friends for a weekend away. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the accommodation - the photos don't do it justice. It was immaculate with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was a nice touch - which we used each night.

- Kim W, February 2017
“It was an amazing cottage would highly recommend”

- Mrs Leigh-brown, February 2017
“Everything was brill.”

Took a but getting used to having no one on reception but the times we rang the helpline mobile the people were there immediately and couldnt do enough for us. the only negative i could say about the cottage is a bbq outside would be nice and the sofa is well worn used as when sat down had no cushion at all lovely place

- Rewbury, November 2016
“Excellent property, facilities and surroundings.”

Highly recommend and we will be returning in the future.

- Mrs Barwise, October 2016
“Wonderful, relaxing family break in a stunning quiet countryside/village location.”

Fantastic cottage with breathtaking views outside the back of the property. The size of the property was amazing, the pictures on Sykes website do not do the cottage & area justice, lots better in reality although the photographs on the website are what made us book Sherburne cottage, one of the highlights was the hot tub(towelling robes provided) which we all got in together just to relax and watch the world go by with a cold glass of wine(plastic wineglasses provided for having a drink in hot tub). The kitchen and breakfast bar was well stocked with electrical appliances i.e. wine fridge, dishwasher, fridge freezer, cooker, microwave and coffee machine, also being able to wash and dry clothes was a bonus with a washer dryer in downstairs utility room/toilet. Both bedrooms are a great size with their own en-suites/wet-rooms The welcome basket on arrival to property was good but could have done with somethings for children i.e. some sweets or biscuits. The wifi was good but didnt have enough range as was situated in downstairs utility room/toilet where it would have been better situated in living room area. We thought it would also be beneficial for a little handheld vacuum cleaner in the cottage. The wood burning fire was fantastic and easy to use and gave a lot of heat out even though the cottage has underfloor heating throughout. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and are already planning are return in 2017. The local shop was only 10minutes walk away and 3 local pubs Ribchester arms, Black bull and the White bull, we had lunch in the ribchester arms and found the food excellent and quite large portions and the staff here are very attentive but didnt hover over you, In the black bull the land-ladies sue and cath were very friendly and welcoming and in the next few weeks they are starting to do meals in the blackbull, the white bull was closed on the occasion we walked to it but by the menu outside they have speciality food nights. The cottage we stayed in was perfect size for me and my husband and 2 children if your family size is bigger there are bigger cottages to choose from.

About the location

RIBCHESTER

Blackburn 7 miles; Clitheroe 9 miles; Preston 11 miles.

The village of Ribchester is encircled by green hills and lies in a curve of the River Ribble mid way between Preston and Clitheroe. It is a pleasant jumble of multi-coloured stone cottages in long twisting terraces. It has three pubs, the White Bull, dated 1707, the Black Bull and the Ribchester Arms and the award-winning Chinese restaurant Yu and You Restaurant and Bar. The White Bull has a porch canopy supported by four columns said to be from Roman ruins. The village takes its name from the River Ribble and the fort of Bremetennacum (the walled town by the Ribble). For this reason, Ribchester has been seen to have a purely Roman foundation, but excavations in 1977 showed that settlements going back to the middle Bronze Age existed in the area. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Ribble Valley is a rural haven of spectacular scenery, diverse natural habitats and historical legend, a place of almost incomparable peace, where adults and children alike can enjoy the simple pleasures of the outdoors without the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Longridge is easily reached, a unique town with plenty of interesting shops and tempting eateries, described as 'big on character' by the Sunday Times and ranked in their '101 Best Places To Live In Britain'. Nearby Clitheroe is famed for its specialist shops of all types, including, amongst others, a sausage shop that sells over seventy-five different varieties! A gourmet's paradise, with award-winning restaurants and country hotels situated throughout the valley, and annual events including a number of agricultural shows and day festivals of all types, this fantastic location has plenty to offer at any time of year!
