What guests are saying
House was fine with everything you need, as usual the whole experience was spoilt by the sheer number of nannying emails from Sykes.
We had great week at Vive house .
It is located centrally in the beautiful village in a lovely part of the country . Everything in village from roman baths and museum to the 3 pubs and the outstanding walks along the river are right on doorstep . It benefits from a private parking space in front of the garage which is a godsend in a village with ancient narrow streets . The house itself is outstanding with a downstairs kitchen / diner ,a sitting room with smart tv ,a wet room with shower and toilet then a lovely conservatory which leads out to a lovely enclosed garden . Upstairs another great sitting room with tv and music player with a library of books cds and dvds. There are 2 double bedrooms one with super king-size bed and a bathroom with toilet plunge bath and hand held shower. The whole house is spotlessly clean and has a lovely homely feel in all areas we felt totally relaxed and it is in a lovely quiet location . We took bus to clitheroe and did circular walks from village and had lovely afternoon at stydd Gardens which is only about 15 min walk and many more interesting places to visit are on the doorstep if required . We we felt that this was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had and this us due to this cottage being in a perfect location in a very friendly village . We are planning to book again for 2026 if it is available and anyone booking it will not be disappointed. Helen was a great host and any minor issues or questions I needed to ask were addressed in a timely and courteous manner and I did not feel uncomfortable contacting her at all . To sum up Vive House is a wonderful property in a lovely historic friendly village in a beautiful part of the country.
We had a fabulous stay at Vive House.
We were two ladies and a dog. The house is really spacious, with plenty of separate areas to allow for different activities and the added addition of the enclosed garden to sit and enjoy the sun. The kitchen was so well equipped with everything we needed for our week's stay. Both the bedrooms were bright and comfortable. A real plus point are the two bathrooms, one downstairs, the other co-located with the bedrooms. We loved the bath, it was so relaxing (I'm under 5 feet and found it easy to use). Another great point is the parking space for the house - in front of the garage. This makes it very easy to travel out and about around the area. We visited Salmesbury Hall, Clitheroe, Downham, Longridge, Whaley (the Abbey ruins were very interesting). Additionally, Ribchester is a delightful village with Roman ruins, a Roman Museum and delightful surrounding walks. All in all, a wonderful house that suited us and the dog perfectly. Thanks for sharing it with us.
