"Great property."
2nd time staying. Very warm and cosy. Lovely to have 2 showers and 3 toilets…one being down stairs. Quiet place. Amenities very good. Village has its volunteer run shop,post offiice , library, shop is very well stocked and wants for nothing. Further shops in Colne. Andrew the owner is super nice …he leaves his number if there are any issues…. After 2 visits we still don’t an issue. We are planning a 3rd stay for spring if availability allows. Lovely place and you won’t be disappointed

"We arrived to the property and the owner was in the home which he admitted had not been cleaned as his 'help' had not arrived."
There were hairs in the ensuite sink, crumbs and dog hairs throughout the entire property and the kitchen sink and worktops had not been cleaned. The ensuite shower cannot be used as the water does not get hot. The barbecue had not been cleaned. There is a broken chair on the patio which cannot be used as it isn't safe. There was a blockage within the manhole cover which caused the downstairs to become flooded via the toilet with waste water soaking into the carpet. The owner left us to clean this up after the flood and did not check on us at all after he had arranged for the blockage to be cleared. We were charged for the drainage company costs and money taken from our account without our consent. The blockage was blamed on us with no proof that we had done anything to cause it
Thank you for writing this review, I was very disappointed to read your feedback. I was in the Stables just completing the preparation myself for your arrival. I was not aware what time you were arriving. The property had been vacuumed and the work surfaces cleaned. I would have gladly carried out a further clean had you contacted me to request this. Likewise, I would have shown you how to increase the temperature of the shower from its standard pre-set status. The barbecue was clean but inevitably shows natural signs of use. The garden chair has also been replaced; one small slat was broken. Your wife contacted me on Wednesday evening to tell me the downstairs toilet was overflowing with a combination of toilet and shower waste. She agreed she had been flushing baby wipes which were quite visible. I managed to halt the overflow with a plunger and then summoned an emergency drainage engineer who was able to clear the blockage in the dedicated pipe from the toilet to the manhole. He again noted wipes were present. You have his report as evidence of this. I then provided towels and sheets to soak up the overflow and left a dehumidifier to dry out the carpet overnight. I looked for you the following afternoon to check but unfortunately you were out. You left the following morning without returning the key personally as most guests do. This usually gives an early opportunity for feedback. Had I seen you before you left, I would have advised you that I would contact Sykes about the good housekeeping bond due to the charges I incurred because of this. The total cost to me was £270. As a gesture of goodwill to your family I only asked for half of this sum to be charged to you. I also waived the labour costs and made you a payment in lieu of a further clean you did not give me the opportunity to carry out, whether or not it was necessary. I am sorry you did not experience the stay you were expecting but I hoped that you would appreciate my prompt response and generosity in halving the charges I incurred due to the overflow.

"What an absolute pleasure staying here."
I don't think the photos do this cottage justice. Modern, spotless with every possible level of equipment to make this a home from home. The host was extremely helpful. Gave us a tour and explained how everything worked and then left us to our own devices.
Thanks for your generous feedback which is of course very welcome. I always like to meet and greet guests and try to be available whilst not intruding into anyone' time at the Stables. Property Owner

"Good holiday cottage with everything that you need."
Parking can be interesting but it is off road. I have known a more comfortable sofa but we did pick this cottage for the walking and visiting. A bread knife would have been useful but overall we enjoyed our stay at The Stables.
Thanks for your helpful feedback. I will sort the breadknife. Perhaps some more cushions might help? I will follow up. I hope you conquered the Three Peaks. Property Owner

"My friend and I enjoyed our stay at the stables and would consider going again."
It was clean, comfortable and lovely modern kitchen/diner.The only thing would be the lack of patio use, it needs updating, but to be fair, to our host Andrew, our british weather hasn't been the best for doing outdoor work. Andrew was friendly and easy to talk to.
Thanks very much for your feedback. I am glad you both enjoyed your stay in Trawden. Yes the weather isn't always on our side but the patio is ready to receive the barbeque and chimenea when the warm weather arrives. Property Owner

Thanks very much for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your weekend and made use of our community owned facility, The Trawden Arms. Property Owner

Thanks very much for your kind feedback. I am glad you all enjoyed your stay and that things work out as you hope. Property Owner

The property
The Stables is a charming, two-bedroom stable conversion resting in the small, Lancashire village of Trawden.
Woven with original features throughout, including lovely, beamed ceilings, The Stables enjoys a peaceful setting, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, making it a wonderful base for couples, small families or four friends, looking to enjoy rural Lancashire.
Park up and head indoors, to be met by the homely sitting room, where you can lounge after a day of sightseeing, with a sleek, wall-mounted electric fire to light for a little warmth.
Head into the kitchen/diner, fully-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can prepare and enjoy meals together, or if the weather allows, set the patio table and relish in an alfresco affair, ending the evening with a glass of wine and some planning.
Catch some rest from the two well-appointed bedrooms on offer, including a double with a sleek en-suite shower room, and a twin, with a bathroom and cloakroom completing the home.
Previously voted as one of the best places to live in the Northwest, the village has the Trawden Arms pub, where guests can dine out and sample some real ale, Jackie & Francesca’s Old Rock Cafe & Cake Shop for brunch, a Post Office which opens on Mondays, the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin Trawden, and a playground, whilst further amenities lie in nearby Colne.
Wycoller Hall and Country Park can be reached by a stroll or short car journey, reputed to be Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, which guests can tour and enjoy refreshments from, or head to Haworth, which is only a few miles across the Pennines, possible to follow the Bronte Trail; here you can also join the Keighley/Worth Valley line for a steam trip with the Railway Children.
For wet weekends, head to Boundary Mill Outlet, with fantastic discounts and a range of shops, or if you’d prefer to feel at one with nature, both Pendle Hill and nearby Boulsworth Hill await walkers of all ages and abilities.
With Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall, Skipton, Blackburn and Bradford reachable by car, and Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds by rail, there’s so much to see and do in the area.
Enjoy the best of Lancashire and Yorkshire from The Stables.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
About the location
TRAWDEN
Haworth 10 miles; Skipton 11.7 miles; Harrogate 35 miles.
Trawden is a small village in the Trawden Forest parish of Pendle, at the foot of Boulsworth Hill, on the border land between Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales. Boulsworth Hill is a large expanse of moorland, the highest point of the South Pennines of south-eastern Lancashire, England, separating the District of Pendle from Calderdale. Its summit, Lad Law, is 1,696 ft (517 m) above sea level, and commands views over Pendle Hill, the Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales and the South Pennines. On an exceptionally clear day it is possible to see Scafell Pike and Helvellyn to the north, High Peak to the south and Blackpool Tower to the west. The Brontë Way and the Pendle Way both pass along the slopes of Boulsworth Hill, providing routes across unspoilt moorland and pasture land. Agriculture was the main industry of the village and surrounding area, although it did have several cotton mills, most of which have now been demolished and converted into housing. As a way of encouraging people to visit Trawden and the surrounding area, a small group of village residents organise and mobilise other villagers in order to hold the annual Trawden Garden Festival and Scarecrow Trail. This takes place over the first weekend in July. Trawden also holds an annual agricultural show each August, which many farmers, riders and people from all around enjoy and take part in. Dating back to the 10th century, the area is famous for the ruins of Wycoller Hall where Charlotte Bronte set parts of her famous novel, Jane Eyre. Clapper Bridge is close to the ruins of Wycoller Hall and probably dates from the late 18th or early 19th century, whilst Clam Bridge is a single slab laid across Wycoller Beck and is more than 1000 years old and is listed as an Ancient Monument. A short drive brings you to nearby Haworth, home to the famous Bronte sisters, who were inspired by the surrounding moorland to pen their novels which have become classics of English Literature. Haworth is a village that time almost forgot, with its myriad of curiosity and antiques shops, alleyways and cobbled streets creating a wonderful period atmosphere and all this against a backdrop of countryside famously described in the novel Wuthering Heights as wild, rugged and barren. Nearby the famous Worth Valley Railway, an authentic steam railway, brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, provides a lovely day out with a regular service to the old village of Oxenhope. The market town of Skipton, Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, is just a short drive along one of the most scenic moorlands in the area, and also within reach are elegant Harrogate and vibrant Leeds and Manchester.
