Pendleside

Beautiful cottage.

Clean and tidy. Very well stocked kitchen.

A very pleasant, well equipped holiday cottage, one of three on the site.

Very well located for walks in the area and overlooked by the well known Pendle Hill. Plenty of good places to eat in Clitheroe and the surrounding area. Definitely recommended.

Really nice property in an ideal quiet location to visit the Forest of Bowland.

Many extras provided, very warm when heating came on, one comment but not a criticism is that I was cold in bed as the duvet was very thin for this time of year (March) but everything else was fine. Plenty of cutlery, pans and plates etc provided, nice towels and washing up facilities provided, obviously much thought has been given to users needs, may thanks

We had a lovely time at the cottage , would book again , the views from the cottage was lovely, pony's in the back drop , hen on windowsill was a first .

Handed for the dales , we had a day out in Haworth and saltaire. Cottage had everything we needed , clean and rustic which we like .

Lovely cottage, great views and lovely animals about to watch and stroke.

This was our second visit to pendleside.

Property is reasonable,space wise ok,cleanliness quite poor.Dust underbeds,by far the worst is the double oven,this is not one or two days of grease and grime,i really fail to understand how no one not one person has comme nted on this which is a significant health and safety issue.This also makes me wonder if Sykes ever inspect these properties once they havebeen signed up.None of the internal doors close properly. Yes,Ive had a moan but hopefully you wikl see it as constructive critism AS Already stated we haveb een before and would happily go again....but please sort out the issues raised. .

What a fantastic stay.

We loved the cottage, spacious and beautifully turned out. The setting is magnificent, with great access to walks and Clitheroe a few minutes up the road, for supplies. The owners were super helpful but not at all intrusive. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cottage in a gorgeous location.

Such a beautiful place.

A lot of farm animals and beautiful views. We were welcomed by cat and entertain by chickens and other birds. Cotage was nice, looked even better than on pictures. We had everything we needed. Kids liked board games. We had a great time.

Lovely peaceful cottage in a beautiful area.

Maybe in need of a bit of tlc, the shower definitely needs sorting out. I would go back again though.

A very relaxing break in a surprisingly spacious and well laid out cottage.

Agree with previous reviewer about watching the beautiful sunsets over the Ribble Valley. We would be happy to come back and so would our dog.

We had a lovely stay at Pendleside, the cottage had a very welcoming feel and we all felt very relaxed and wanted to stay longer.

We would happily return. Points to be aware of which did not detract from our holiday but are good to be aware of. There is one bathroom with an old style electric shower so if there are five of you then you will need to take turns. The third bedroom is small and has a shorter bed than usual, my teenage daughter was entirely fine with this and fitted the bed - but we had warned her in advance. You can’t use the washing machine at the same time as the kettle as it seems to trip the electric, but once we had worked this out it was fine. Lovely views of Pendle Hill and the valley really lifted our spirits on the morning after we arrived in a thunderstorm. Happy to return.

Has everything you could wish for.

Clean bedding and comfy bed. Was nice and cosy when the heating was timed to start.

Comfortable good value cottage with everything you need for a self catering stay.

Great views and a peaceful setting was nice watching the sun setting over the hills. Our children enjoyed looking at the farm animals and loved the visiting cat. Additional shared garden area was nice and would be lovely in drier weather.

Our second time staying here, a real home from home and we love the location on the edge of Pendle Hill.

Molly the farm cat welcomed us back and she stayed with us again which was lovely. the farm drive needs some attention once the wet weather has gone so just drive slowly up the lane and you will be fine. Recommend a trip to alpes butchers by Lidl, fantastic meat and deli counter. We shall be back next year.

Great week had by all at Pendleside.

Lovely rural location was thoroughly enjoyed by our young son, as was the resident cat (not for everyone but he enjoyed it). The hosts couldn't have been more accommodating and willing to help. All in all, a great little cottage and we'd have no hesitation to come back again.

My wife and I both liked the cottage but did not like it that we could not remove the door key for security.

neither of us like cats but we had a cat on the window ledges all the time of brought a mouse in the cottage as soon as we arrived,people in the guest book liked the cat but we did not sorry. The last thing is the driveway up to the cottage was rough and full of potholes,other wise we enjoyed it even though it sounds like we did not

I would say that this was the most disappointing holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

We have booked with Sykes on several occasions previously & have been very impressed with the standard of accommodation, but unfortunately on this occasion our experience failed to meet our expectations. From the photos it looks as though the cottage is remote & offers privacy, however you are nestled between two other properties & next to a camp site. Due to building work next door & the lack of privacy, it was like living next door to a building site & made the garden space unusable. We didn't feel like we could sit out there at all, plus the "secure garden" we were promised for our dog was quite the opposite & our dog escaped instantly! The shower was also unusable (I think the thermostat had packed up) and alternated between freezing cold & boiling hot. I had to wash my hair over the sink instead. None of the internal doors shut properly & the kitchen scissors & torch mentioned on the itinerary which would have been useful were absent. Also due to two other cars sharing the parking area, it made it extremely difficult to manoeuvre to get out without conducting a 10 point turn!! I would definitely not return to this cottage. Very unsatisfactory!!!

Pendle side was just perfect, perfect for everything we wanted to do, everything was neat and tidy and clean, beds were OK (nothing like your own bed but fine for a week away) everything you needed in the kitchen, our dog loved it also as the garden was secure, we had plenty of visits from the resident friendly farm cat.

.....so mush so we even feed him/her, the owners were very welcoming even allowing our three boys to run around on the numerous fields around the cottage playing with their nerf gun's, we can highly recommend the local pub which is in easy access and walking distance The Calf's Head, food and staff are great, overall we'll be returning very soon xx

Excellent well equipped cottage in a very quiet and lovely location.

Parking for two cars. If you want peace and quiet in a rural setting that allows one dog I can recommend Pendleside

Lovely cottage with amazing views

Lovely cottage situated overlooking Clitheroe and on the side of Pendle Hill.

Very comfortable place to stay, friendly owners ( and 'resident' cat if you are not quick enough to shut the door!), 20 minute walk to excellent dog-friendly local pub with extensive menu and decent cooking. Good base for exploring the beautiful local countryside, including Malham Cove and the surrounding Yorkshire Dales. Nearby Clitheroe( 3 miles) has an abundance of shops in a lovely country town, including a superb wine stockist! We've been before, and we will be going again.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and cosy. The owners were friendly and helpful. The location is great. We would stay again. A ten minute walk to the beautiful pub in the village, ten minute drive to Clitheroe, which is lovely.

The fact that we returned within the year shows that we like the place and its location.

Not an issue for us, but the indication that Broadband is available is misleading. It didn't work last year and nothing has changed. We had good 4G on ee but never had Internet access over WiFi. Welcome literature could do to be updated and a list of TV channel numbers would be nice. Everything else good to excellent.

The cottage was fairly comfortable with adequate equipment, though some of the equipment was rather old.

It was not cosy as the heating only heated the radiators for a short time in the morning and on several evenings they did not heat up at all. The television did not have a signal. I turned it off at the mains and on switching back on , there was a signal but then the Skye remote did not work. Th area was delightful with lovely views form the cottage and good walking nearby.

Great !

!!!!!!

Pendleside is spacious but cosy.

It was clean & well equipped (a washing basket would be useful).The sofa's & beds were very comfy.We went with our basset hounds and garden was secure & we were lucky with the weather so did use the garden a lot.Great position for the yorkshire dales & lake district & we loved lancashire as so scenic.lots of walks .we loved the farm animals & the owners were unatrusive but helpful if you needed anything.we would love to return .We had a great holiday at pendleside

Nice cottage, decent facilities (shower not too powerful but ok).

Great base for the area and friendly owners. Enjoyed our week.

Really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage has all the facilities you'll need . Loved the remote and peaceful location in a beautiful part of the Lancashire countryside with exceptional views.

Absolutely beautiful location with incredible views in all directions.

A spacious & clean cottage, with everything you could possibly need from WiFi to an electric whisk. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Easy access to local motorways etc, but feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. Only met the owners briefly on departure but they were both lovely.

Too remote No heating on arrival No landlord to contact nO response to phone calls to landlord Had to move to hotel first night

Everything we hoped for in a rural cottage.

The Angram website was an excellent source of local information.

Cottage is lovely in a beautiful area.

The owners are lovely too. However, there are major issues with wifi and hot water. Also the shower was inadequate, boiling hot one minute, freezing cold the next.

Ideal for exploring the countryside and walking.

Not ideal for children as no local faclities. Lovely local pubs nearby. Nearest pub a mile away with great menu.

The situation of the cottage and its views are outstanding.

The 2 single chairs in the lounge are uncomfortable, old and too large and need replacing The single bed is advertised as only 2 foot six wide but NOT that it is also under 6 feet long , therefore making it unsuiable for an adult. The grass was very long and the garden was not well maintained. The cottage has a charm but all the furniture and fittings were old or homespun. We couldn't understand how it was felt a £100 bond was neccessary for the contents. The cottage is bang next door to a washroom and toilet block for use by caravaners and campers. Fortunately there were almost none while we were there but we can imagine it being intrusive (noisy) in peak times

Whilst the hordes pile into the adjacent Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, why not try the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland area.

Absolutely beautiful countryside, much to do and see and not overrun. Very highly recommended.

The cottage was perfect for the type of holiday we wanted.

absolutely lovely holiday, would recommend and go again.

Apart from Sykes giving us directions for the neighbouring cottage, which caused some embarrassment.

I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful place.

Amazing stay, everyone was so friendly and couldn’t do anymore to help you out.

Great location with plenty of walks and places to explore. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

Would have liked facilities for recycling glass, plastic, paper and tins.

A gorgeous cottage in the most wonderful location!

Loved the fact we were on a working farm and the kids loved all the farm animals especially the goats! Will definitely book again!

After 1 or 2 minor hiccups which were quickly resolved we found the week very relaxing and the owners very approachable.

Thinking of a return visit.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location.

Perfect for exploring all that the Lancashire countryside has to offer and it’s pretty villages. The farm location made for a very enjoyable experience for our farm mad little boy, who very much loved collecting eggs and all the animals, especially Bella the baby goat. Thank you so much. We will definitely return for another holiday

We had a very pleasant surprise on finding our holiday cottage.

What a view! Pendle Hill is just stunning and such beautiful surroundings. The cottage was warm, secure, well equipped with lovely comfortable beds. High standard of cleanliness and a lovely conservatory and light entering the cottage. We loved the period features and style and a lovely décor and colour choice. We had a warm welcome from Emma who made sure we were happy and went out of her way in torrential rain to come and check on us. How lucky we were to be part of the farm community and experience what this is like. Beautiful horses, pygmy goats - and baby Bella!, chickens, and the most gorgeous tabby cat who paid a daily visit and loved cuddles. Farm staff were so helpful and kind and encouraged us to see the animals and gave advice on local walks - thanks to all of them and Emma. Local area is full of things to do - walks, we visited HAPPA - Horse and Pony Protection, Gawthorpe Hall. My great-great grandfather was from Lancashire and I can see why he loved it so much, I could quite happily have stayed on the farm. The torrential rain on the week we visited did not detract from our stay and we had a fabulous week with Mum and my grand daughter, so much so that we hope to book again for next year once our holidays at work are agreed. Cannot wait to return.

The cottage is in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by stunning countryside and close to a number of beautiful small towns and villages.

Cottage is comfortable enough however we feel it could do with some upgrading in terms of decor. Wifi signal is very weak - you're better off standing out in the middle of the driveway than in the cottage itself and TV is extremely small. The bathroom looks like it could do with an overhaul - it looks shabby and piecemeal and quite dirty. We feel that overall the place could have been cleaner - it looks like it hasn't been given a good thorough cleaning for a while with frames on windowsill covered in dust and a funny smell to sofas and cushions. The bunk bedroom is super small and had we been more than 4 people I'm not sure how that room would have been used as a bedroom as there is space for the bunk beds and nothing else. The mattresses on the bunks also look like they've seen better days - they looked old and worn. It's a good thing that the other double bed had been made up for our children as the room was more spacious and we wouldn't have been happy with them on those mattresses.

The cottage itself was ok.

The views are tremendous and the village pub, The Calfs Head was outstanding. The first suprise was bunk beds rather than a single bed. It doesn't state that any were in the description of the property. The second suprise was the unfriendlyness of the owners. Would recommend the area EVERYONE else was super nice but would not recommend the property.

The owners were very friendly and helpful.

This really is a place to get away from it all, but close enough to all amenities in local towns. Wakening up to the sound of the Curlew's bubbling call nearby.

Lovely cottage, very friendly owners (and farm animals), beautiful location.
