"Beautiful country spotless cottage, beautiful welcome from Sue, we were welcomed with a lovely lemon drizzle cake and ginger biscuits, with a cuppa as soon as we arrived, which was fab after a long journey, the cottage was a lovely beautiful view every morning, to look out too, lovely to see the animals , the dogs were adorable, the nights were really quiet, and peaceful, slept well, real comfy bed, lovely cosy evening lighting the log fire, all logs were supplied by Sue, who couldn't have been more helpful , this is a little gem of a place hidden away, romantic for us to have time to ourselves."
Highly recommend this cottage holiday.

"Overall okay ."
A little tired in certain areas but the vistas from the windows certainly made up for this also I would suggest perhaps a word with the cleaner.

"We found the cottage very cluttered, adding to hardly any work top space to do anything."
Freezer in high cupboard above cleaning cupboard very bizzare!!
Also not very clean: dirty curtains, cobwebs hanging and carpet stains
Bathroom very dated & shower off taps (really!!!)
We were very lucky with weather so spent a lot of the days away from cottage and eating out.
Oh dear me! So sorry that you found the cottage not to your liking. You said how lovely it was when you arrived. I haven’t ever had such negative comments in 10 years of letting the cottage so it’s come as a great shock.

"We had a relaxing week at Ashbank Cottage."
Sue, the owner was very helpful and welcoming. The views from the cottage were lovely. We walked every day and the weather was great for the time of year. We tried to catch Sue before we left but no reply when we knocked, although we knew that a clutch of duckling had arrived, a Black lab was about to welp and a horse was in foal, she must have been busy.

"Peaceful, comfortable and a great place for a break away from the pressures of life."
The owners, Sue and Ken, are very nearby and make you feel at home during your stay. The view makes this place special too, looking over sloping fields with cattle, ducks, geese and the owners' horses and dogs. Whatever time of year you choose to go, enjoy it. We'll certainly go back even though it was a long drive from London - it is a different world.

"Although the cottage is situated among a small cluster of cottages some distance from any real village it did not feel remote."
It was quite spacious and had a superb view through patio doors. In the ground below there were a pair of horses and 4 lovely dogs, and a never-ending display of bird life. We found plenty to do in the area, visiting the Pennine mountains, the lovely Forest of Bowland and by train to the north Morecambe Bay. It is close enough to Settle to take the famous train from Settle to Carlisle and at Silverdale, just beyond Carnforth, there is the RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve. We were blessed with superb weather which just added to a very enjoyable holiday. We ourselves are no longer able to do much walking but it would be an excellent base for walkers. There were no shops nearby and the closest pub was one and half miles away in Low Bentham.
There was a welcome tray with half a dozen new-laid eggs to greet us.
It proved an excellent holiday. Thank you.
