Bramley Farm Cottages - The Stable
Ribble Valley
View on Google MapsPhoto: Elaine [email protected]
The Ribble Valley unfolds around this detached conversion, set on 170 acres of managed farmland within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Two miles from Whalley, The Stable sits on a working sheep farm where lambs can be fed during spring months. Walks begin at the door; the area draws cyclists and mountain bikers, and several trout fisheries operate nearby. Whalley Golf Club is under a mile away.
Inside, an open-plan ground floor combines living space, dining area and kitchen with an electric cooker and full refrigeration. Upstairs, a bedroom with a kingsize bed connects to an ensuite with shower. Underfloor heating on the ground floor and electric heaters throughout keep things warm. Wifi, bed linen and towels are included, and parking for two cars sits on site. A shared garden area with furniture and barbecue serves the small cluster of cottages. The property suits couples and families; one dog stays free of charge, though smoking is not permitted.
Clitheroe itself offers a castle and museum. Within reach are Brockholes Nature Reserve, Bowland Wild Boar Park, Gawthorpe Hall and Samlesbury Hall. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales lie an hour away. If you bring a horse, stabling can be arranged with the owner; a bridle path runs past the property.

We stayed in Bramble Cottage! Wow, what spacious lovely countryside accommodation! The kitchen space was just awesome. The place was full of everything you could possibly need. Location is rural - a few miles outside of Whalley, so a car is required. There's a big Tesco a short drive away in Great Harwood which we paid a visit to to get our food for the week. The cottage has big fridge freezer for all the food, no problem! Delightful shared courtyard yard with tables if weather is nice would be lovely sitting out there in the sunshine! The main bed was so comfy! You enter on ground level, and go down a small stair case to front room, kitchen and a bedroom and then from the ground level, up a small staircase to bathroom and two more bedrooms. The area - well, you are right in Pendle Witch Country! Loads of history and if you are able, go up to Pendle Hill for amazing views! Go to Lancaster Castle, St Patrick's Chapel, Lytham St Annes, Dunsop Bridge. Easy to get to the South Lakes too. Owner of the cottages is very friendly. Although there are a few cottages it did not feel busy or crowded in the slightest. The road approaching the farm is a little bumpy for a small part so best to go very slow there. Would very much recommend this holiday home!

This is a charming place with the most friendly hosts. They invited our kids to help feed new born lambs, patiently answered questions and took time to make sure we were settled and had everything we needed. The accommodation was just as advertised, very clean, comfortable and well maintained with plenty of space. Visitors need to be aware that the road to the farm is quite steep and narrow in places which some might find a little daunting but perfectly manageable if taken carefully. There is wifi coverage throughout the property but the bandwidth was rather limited. Still, maybe we shouldn't be visiting the beautiful Lancashire countryside to sit around staring at phone's and tablets.
