Priestley’s Retreat

For us Priestley’s Retreat ticked all our boxes, exceptionally clean, comfortable, everything for our use, Nothing was missed.

The views are beautiful always something going on in flora & fauna. Kerry & Andy are so friendly with two beautiful dogs. But we were left alone for the four nights we were there. Having noted it had a sloping & stepped entrance I did have some concerns as I walk with a stick. But I had no issues at all, the gravel was firm to walk on. Just sorry we had to leave. We would definitely book again. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic stay at Priestley’s cottage.

We would like to thank our hosts who very friendly and on hand for anything we needed. The home had everything we needed and a view to die for (no need for a tv). Very close to a couple of pubs the dog very nice but only served food on certain nights. The grey mayor was a short drive but worth it as the food was very nice and reasonably priced. Thanks again to our wonderful hosts, We would love to come back to this holiday cottage.

We had a 4 night stay at Priestley’s Retreat - directions were spot on and when you drive down towards the property the views are epic - met by owner who showed us around a very clean and modern building- all mod cons are catered for - WiFi set up and worked well when used - Nice touch from the owners who had left, milk, biscuits and cold water.

Weather conditions were sunny and HOT (picked a great time to visit) local walk to the Dog Inn pub - food was good and views stunning as were the walk we took to Darwin Tower ( this is the tower you view from the property across the valley ) followed by a cooling pint at the Sunnyhurst pub - we toured the area and visited Gawthorpe hall near Burnley - Blackburn is a 5min drive with many places to eat and several big supermarkets -Priestley’s retreat is in a great location for touring and is surrounded by incredible views- wildlife is in abundance and on our bingo card we spotted from the garden deer, owls, rabbits, woodpecker, cows and sheep - owners are very friendly, have recommended to friends already and would definitely return.

A fabulous retreat and highly recommended.

Priestley’s Retreat was an absolutely beautiful place to stay.

The views from all the windows were amazing. There were so many places to visit, within easy reach, the furthest being 1 hour away. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Priestley’s Retreat.

We had a lovely short break at Priestley's Retreat.

The cottage is very nice and clean and we enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful surroundings.

Spotless accommodation, everything we needed for a lovely rest, great location.

Highly recommended thank you

Lovely, well-appointed property situated in beautiful landscape.

Easy access to the M65 (1 minute!) & nicely decorated throughout. Perfect for our needs. Even better if: a more powerful shower & improved internet connectivity.

Superb accommodation with fantastic views

A beautiful, clean and well equipped cottage with wonderful views.

What an amazing place and Kerry is a dream she is so friendly and welcoming and her 2 dogs are beautiful!

!! Kerry was super helpful and recommended a beautiful village called Downham that we visited and was very special. The accommodation was clean and the view is spectacular you really cannot get bored of the view. The Beds are so comfortable and the whole place is really clean and perfect size. The location was great to get everywhere as you are on top of the motorway so it’s very easy to get around. Overall This is a prefect place to stay and we all loved it there Thank you Kerry was lovely to meet you xx

We had a most enjoyable, peaceful break at Priestley's Retreat and can highly recommend it.

The cottage, with sweeping views across the countryside, was very comfortable, clean and equipped with everything you need for your stay. Thank you Andy for your kindness and warm welcome - we certainly intend to return.

Beautiful property and area, one of the best appointed places we have stayed.

The hosts were perfect, providing us with a high chair at late notice as well as providing some excellent local recommendations, friendly and welcoming while never imposing on us or our privacy for a private holiday.

Great stay with stunning views.

Had everything we needed.

We had a lovely stay at Priestley's Retreat We had everything we needed, comfy bed, good shower, beautiful views.

We would definitely recommend staying here. Also Belthorn has a great Community pub Thanks Andy and Kerry, lovely to meet you both

Everything at Priestleys Retreat was superb.

The only point I would raise are the cattle grids. Both have large holes around the frame, making it difficult to drive over them. Stones or tarmac filling these in would make it safer.

Excellant property, fresh, clean, basic supplies on arrival, comfy bed, lovely hosts made to feel very welcome.

Views were great, four legged neighbours were polite & entertaining! wildlife observed. Overall a fantastic relaxed weekend, worth the drive north

Wanted to write and say thank you but did not have a pen.

We had a wonderful stay in such a wonderful house and wonderful views and scenery Thank you

The Retreat was exactly as stated in the listing.

Very clean, well equiped and in a great location. The welcome pack was well received and the Retreat is ideally situated for walking and visiting the many places in the area. Would recommend it and would return again if ever staying in the area. 5*,s.

Lovely place for a short stay with an amazing view.

Great location for a peaceful retreat.

Great hosts, lovely welcome pack. Definitely stay again if we needed too and would definitely recommend.

The property was lovely and in a great location with lovely open views yet close to motorway network and brilliant for us visiting family and friends in the area.

The property was just as described and had everything we might need including a very generous and much appreciated welcome pack to start us off!
