"Excellent beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings- well equipped and spotlessly clean."
Definitely deserves 5 stars.

"We have had cottage holidays for many years and this was without doubt the best one we have ever stayed in."
-
"We had a fantastic holiday at Stone Mouse!"
The property is in a stunning location, with a beautiful view from the lounge and superb local walks. The cottage was clean, bright and very comfortable with everything we needed for self-catering.

"Absolutely first class cottage of high quality."
Friendly and helpful owners. Fantastic view from lounge and patio.
-
"This is a delight to stay in."
Comfortable, well equipped, peaceful, lovely view, considerate owners. No wonder it gets so many repeat bookings. We wil be another such. I have restricted mobility and found the bed was easy to get in and out of. The shower has a very slight step. One step to enter the house and then level.
-
"Stone Mouse Cottage is the perfect place to stay."
-
"This cottage was immaculate, clean, well equipped and comfortable."
In all the years we have taken self catering cottages for our holidays either here in the UK or around the world this was without doubt one of the best.

"Absolutely first class standards, from the warm greeting on arrival, to the ultra clean and comfortable cottage, all the required facilities are there."
..and more. The little extra welcome gifts show how thoughtful and interested the hosts are in their guests. Stunning views over the working farm from the picture window and decking, to the hills beyond. A beautiful location. Everything is exceptional and will be difficult to equal.
-
"Very comfortable with everything you need for a totally relaxing break."
The views are stunning and location very restful. A great place to get away from it all.
-
"A lovely, well furnished and very comfortable cottage in an excellent location in beautiful countryside."
We were made very welcome by the owners who live across the yard. You can walk onto the hills right from the cottage door. Lots of options for eating and drinking within a few miles drive. Possibly one of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed at.
-
"From arriving to leaving our holiday at Stone Mouse was amazing."
This property should be in its own category, with 6 sykes rating. It is perfect. The surroundings, the cleanliness, comfort and high class decor and equipment all helped make our week, relaxing, comfortable and peaceful. We are 2 couples, who use Sykes at least 3 times a year. This cottage is by far the best yet. Thank you.
-
"We had an excellent stay at Stone Mouse Cottage, and we recommend this for one or two couples."
The cottage was welcoming and warm (on a very cold week). Really well equipped with everything you could need. Janet and Danny were helpful and friendly. There are some good walks a short drive's distance away. Nice cake to welcome us.
-
"Luxury cottage, high quality, tasteful decor, peaceful, comfortable and spotlessly clean."
Absolutlely fabulous cottage with crisp cotton bedding and everything you could possibly need. Owners lovely and welcoming but not intrusive and the kind gifts were much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Janet & Danny are very pleasant people helpful but not intrusive. Would recommend the Settle/Carlisle train journey. Many places to visit with friendly people.Thank you for the cake,wine & milk very thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

"One of the best, most comfortable cottages in which we have stayed."
Nothing could be improved!

"Perfect cottage in a location that you don't have too far to travel for great walks and towns with plenty of local produce."
The cottage was superb and immaculate and had everything that you needed, and of top quality, we will return, thanks to Danny & Janet for making our stay so comfortable that we didn't want to leave.
-
"Over the years (more than I like to admit !"
) we have stayed in many holiday cottages. I have no hesitation in saying that Stone Mouse Cottage is the best of them. Facilities excellent, attention to detail excellent. location excellent, warm welcome from owners who live adjacent to Stone Mouse, and a HUGE picture window that overlooks the garden & the hills beyond. This is a special place that I can't fault.
-
"Brilliant!"
-
"We cannot speak highly enough about this little gem of a cottage!"
Everything you could wish for and want is available to hand even down to the little things. Wonderful surprise when we arrived was the lemon drizzle cake and bottle of wine, both of which went down nicely. Janet and Danny were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. Loved the fact it was a working farm and could see things going on during the day but also appreciate the stunning surroundings. Totally peaceful and quiet but a short drive out you could find great places to visit too, such as Clitheroe, Settle, Holden Clough nurseries as well as Shackletons. The people in the areas we visited were so chatty and welcoming too. All in all the perfect stay in the perfect places!
-
"Stone Mouse Cottage is an excellent cottage in a stunning location."
It is of a very high standard and was very clean plus the homemade lemon drizzle cake and bottle of wine were delicious! The owners were very pleasant and were there if you needed them but were not intrusive in any way. All in all, we had a great time and didn't want to leave!
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely cottage and would love to stay again thank you"
-
"What a gem!"
Stonemouse Cottage is a real find, the holiday cottage you dream of. It is clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped and has a view to die for. The area is delightful, excellent walking and so peaceful. We booked for next year before we came home and can hardly wait. The owners are helpful and friendly but never intrusive.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Stone Mouse Cottage, a beautiful cottage, excellent setting and first class hosts in Janet and Danny."
The cottage actually feels bigger than it looks in the pictures and the garden is very pretty and private. A premium property and one of the best we have stayed in.
-
"The cottage has breathtaking views from its living room window."
We had a relaxing holiday with nature walks in Ribble Valley, night sky viewing, and river walks in Sawley. The cottage is located at an ideal place to explore Lake District as well. The cottage is very nicely arranged with everything you need for a family holiday. Thank you Janet and Danny for our great holiday.
-
"Really comfortable and well equipped cottage."
Very interesting location attached to a working hill farm where there was coming and going of cattle and sheep. You could easily lose yourself for some time watching the sheep dog at work.
-
"Stonemouse Cottage is a lovely cottage, in a beautiful part of the country."
We loved watching the birds feeding in the back garden, and the views over the fields. The cottage is very well equipped, and as it is all on one level, it was very suitable for the 94 year old member of our party. The owners made us very welcome and we had a wonderful holiday.
-
"Faultless in all respects HUW S"
-
"Perfect cottage in a wonderful area, delightful hosts who offered helpful advice but never infringed on our privacy."
Couldn’t recommend this property too highly!
-
"The cottage and the views were stunning."
Stone Mouse cottage was warm, cosy and felt very homely. The finishing touches were amazing. The welcome of a lovely bottle of wine and lemon drizzle cake was wonderful. Our hosts were very friendly and was there should we need them, we had a problem with our car on the way and was expecting a food delivery, they let him in and sorted out our fridge and freezer items. That was so helpful especially after such a stressful journey. The area is wonderful and would like to return here but they have stopped allowing dogs which is such a shame. Thank you again for such an amazing break away.
-
"Absolutely spotless , warm and comfy with everything you could possibly need"

"A beautiful holiday cottage with a lovely spacious open plan layout, impeccably clean and well equipped for a comfortable and very relaxing stay."
It was obvious that a lot of care had gone into creating such a welcoming holiday home. Watching the weather rolling by over the hills from our warm sofas or being out there in it, exploring some of the many lovely walks.....a great holiday in a wonderful location and I thoroughly recommend Stone Mouse Cottage.
-
"Stone Mouse Cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully presented and provided excellent accommodation."
The very large & modern patio doors provide fabulous views of the garden and the valley / hills beyond. Even better being situated in a lovely quiet hamlet. Janet and Danny were excellent hosts. Thank you for helping us to enjoy a great week exploring the Ribble Valley.
-
"The cottage was lovely inside and very tastefully furnished."
Everything was good quality, especially the large white fluffy towels and the gorgeous white cotton bedding. The view was absolutely fantastic, we looked forward to getting back to it each day. The cottage is next to the farmyard and it was so impressive to see Zip the sheepdog working. We saw woodpeckers and bats and the garden is full of small birds singing and we heard the owls nightly and the cockerel in the morning. To us it was all bliss.
-
"This was our 6th visit to this cottage, it is quiet with good views, well equipped and the owners and their dog are very friendly."
-
"Stone House cottage is exceptional in every way."
Lovely setting with superb views and easy walking around the Hamlet, just right for two oldies!
-
"Quiet secluded cottage."
Good facilities with superb views. Excellent base for walking the Yorkshire Dales, Pendle Hill etc.
-
"Stone Mouse Cottage is immaculately presented, in a beautiful, quiet, away from it all location."
The owners were friendly, helpful and nearby if needed. We chose this cottage because it was pet friendly with a beautiful enclosed garden, with everything you could possibly want for a cosy stay. A home from home!
-
"This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Stone Mouse Cottage and we have greatly enjoyed both holidays."
This time we have used the cottage more due to Covid restrictions and has everything required to provide for 4 people and a dog. The property is very well kept and is clean and warm thanks to the hosts Janet and Danny. If you are lucky with the weather then you are based in some great walking territory with fabulous views on your doorstep.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Stone mouse cottage."
The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable and the owners, who live next door, very helpful and friendly. There was a lovely homemade cake, milk and a bottle of wine to welcome us on arrival. The cottage was very well equipped. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. Lots of local information was provided, especially re walks in the area. There is a pretty garden and we were visited by a woodpecker on the bird feeder every morning. The view from the patio window was gorgeous. Great lengths had been gone to to ensure the cottage was Covid safe. Overall a beautiful peaceful place. You do need a car as there are no shops or pubs in the hamlet. There are walks from the door but it is very muddy in October! We would definitely recommend stone mouse cottage
-

"We were very pleased on arrival with the decor and the lovely view; we loved the peacefulness of the hamlet; the owners are friendly and helpful but not intrusive; the attention to detail - even a knife sharpener; excellent beds and bedding; bottle of wine and a cake to welcome us; nice toiletries."
We love the area too. pretty villages and lovely countryside.
-
"This cottage is without doubt the best place we've stopped in."
If you want a break from all the everyday stress of life this place is ideal. The quality and the cleanliness of the cottage is second to none. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We couldn't have wished for anything more. Hopefully we'll get a chance to stop here again soon.
-
"We spent last Christmas here, it was lovely."
Very quiet. It was much nicer than the pictures. Lovely big Xmas tree up outside. So relaxing.
-
"Stone mouse cottage is an outstanding cottage, this is why we return year after year."
Fantastic views, so tranquil. Inside the cottage is exquisite, everything has been thought of, and the owners Janet and Danny are the nicest couple you could meet. Janet's eye for detail is superb, the extra touches are very welcome, home baking at its finest!! Would not hesitate to recommend this fab cottage. Can't wait for our next visit in March!!
-
"Stone Mouse cottage is perfect in every respect."
Superb accommodation with so much thought given to providing every conceivable need for a great stay. The Bowland location is hard to beat as this area of England still manages to avoid the crowds and traffic. Wonderful wild fells and lush valleys with many lovely unspoilt villages. Foodies are also well catered for with a plethora of good pubs and restaurants within easy reach.
-
"The cottage was excellent, the attention to detail was remarkable."
The owners were very nice and friendly, the scones, jam, cream, milk and wine were very welcome and very nice. The view across the lovely garden was so nice and peaceful it added to the tranquillity of the whole place. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you to the owners it was great.
-
"Exceptional holiday cottage, very comfortable, well equipped by owners who clearly take pride in their cottage."
Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing break in the countryside
-
"We enjoyed the comforts of the cottage and the beauty and tranquillity of the location."
-
"The cottage was beautiful and the huge windows overlooking the garden and fields beyond made you feel as if you were outside."
The two bathrooms were a plus. A mobile phone was provided for those of us not getting a signal with our own. Scones and cream for a cream tea, and a bottle of wine were a nice welcome. All in all, one of the best cottages we've stayed in.
-
"Brilliant cottage,however no sun umbrella or shade to sit out on stunning garden or on patio."
No Mobile phone signal

Please note that there is adequate mobile reception on most networks. The owner do provide mobile phone in the property for the convenience of their guests so that their guests could make and receive calls in the cottage. Thank you.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Stone Mouse cottage -Janet and Daniel spoilt us and gave us a real welcome."
The garden area was very well maintained with wonderful views over the surrounding hill. We are looking forward to staying there again and taking in the beautiful scenery.
-
"This is the 7th year we have stayed at Stone mouse Cottage, and it was still as lovely as our very first visit!"
The attention to detail by the owners Janet and Danny is fabulous, we can't think of anything else we could possibly require to make our stay any more perfect. The location is wonderful, you don't even need to move from the comfortable sofas to enjoy the view or to watch the sheep and lambs grazing, the vast variety of birds visiting the feeders, or even the odd deer pass by! Luckily we are staying again in November, can't wait!
-
"Absolute amazing cottage very luxurious and we had such a lovely time."
it’s very quiet and peaceful we woke up to a fabulous view each morning. when we arrived the cottage was all Christmassy it looked beautiful. we would defiantly book this cottage again!
-
"We had a lovely relaxing weekend here at Stonemouse Cottage."
The accommodation is just excellent - immaculately clean, well equipped and situated in a beautiful spot of countryside. You really do feel away from it all. We did not want to leave
-
"Amazing stay."
Everything as described and absolutely perfect. Our first at this cottage and using Sykes, will definitely use again.
-
"Lovely cottage very comfortable ideal for a relaxing holiday in a tranquil setting"
-
"The finishing personal touches made by Janet and the sincere welcome I was given, everything aimed at helping me cope with walking difficulties, so very much appreciated because it was unexpected."
The setting of Stone Mouse cottage - on a working farm - gave me extra interest at all times without any disruption. The binoculars provided enabled me to watch cows, sheep and deer. The bird feeders made sure there was always some to watch flying around the delightful garden. Nothing was too much trouble to Janet and Danny to make the cottage a perfect place to relax amid the beautiful countryside, but let me stress that there are plenty of activities possible if you are lucky enough to be able bodied !
-
"The owners of the cottage live oposite on their farm and are extremely helpful with places to eat, walks etc and are only too happy to help."
The cottage is one of the best we have stayed in. It has everything you need in it and more ie extra toiletries in each bathroom, plenty white fluffy towels and slippers. Hair dryers in the drawer, things you would normally find in a hotel than in a cottage. Immaculate throughout. Views are fantastic with a huge picture window looking out into the fields which is to die for and can be opened all the way and you can step out onto the decking to enjoy the view, totally enclosed which was good as we have a dog, Would recommed this cottage to both pet owners and also non pet owners!!
-
"Lovely welcome from owner plus lovely welcome pack of cream tea & wine."
The huge sliding window doors lead on to large decking,garden & beautiful views of the hills.The cottage has everything needed to make the stay enjoyable and relaxing with extra touches by Janet.There is a horse called Olly to say hello to every day!This was a dream cottage & we would certainly return.
-
"Third visit and hope to book again, thanks"
-
"Only that this as been our third trip to Stone Mouse Cottage and it never disappoints, Janet & Danny who own the cottage do a wonderful job in ensuring that your stay lacks for nothing."
We would certainly recommend it and will return.
-
"Our 3rd visit to Stone Mouse Cottage and as ever it could not be faulted."
Owners so friendly and helpful and the cottage is so comfortable and warm and well equipped.
-
"This was our 7th stay in this lovely cottage and it certainly won't be our last!"
Exactly as described on your site, it has everything you need for a perfect holiday. It is beautifully furnished, and maintained to a very high standard, the beds are certainly the most comfortable we have slept in in a holiday cottage (and we have slept in many over the years). The location on a sheep farm could not be more perfect, it's hard to tear yourself away from the view, you can sit on the comfortable sofas and watch the new born lambs playing in the fields right at the bottom of the garden, or watch the constant stream of various birds coming to the feeders. This visit we were able watch six deer that came into one of the fields most mornings, a lovely sight! We love to walk down the lane or across the fields, the surrounding countryside is stunning, the whole place is a nature lovers paradise! The owners are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet, they both work extremely hard on their farm from early morning till late at night (even through the night this busy time of year on a sheep farm) and yet they are always cheerful and friendly, we never fail to be in awe of them! Sincere thanks again to them both for creating such a lovely cottage, and allowing us to spend time in such a beautiful place!
-
"The cottage was so clean, well equipped."
. lovely. Thankyou
-
"Fantastic rural location with a lovely cottage overlooking the countryside hills."
This cottage was perfect for our needs, very clean and well maintained. One of the best cottages I've ever stayed in!
-
"Perfect Christmas in Stone Mouse Cottage The first time we stayed in this gorgeous cottage in 2014 we knew we wanted to spend a Christmas here and so we booked for this year."
We had exactly the Christmas we wanted and needed after a stressful year. It was so great walking though the door knowing everything would be lovely, clean and so cosy and of course we were not disappointed thank you Janet and Danny. As always there was a welcome pack mince pies as well as scones! Everything inside the cottage is set up for your comfort, the beds are lovely, the linen is luxurious and then there is the view. We cooked some lovely meals thanks to the well set up kitchen and sat and watched the every changing sky. We did go and have lunch in the newly renovated village pub - The Coach and Horses in Bolton by Bowland which was nice, we also did some new walks which we enjoyed but mainly we just chilled. It snowed heavily on our last day and we did not want to leave but we had too but hopefully we will be back soon. Thanks for our perfect Christmas
-
"This was my fourth time booking with Sykes cottages, and indeed the fourth time I've stayed at Stonemouse Cottage, I would not hesitate to recommend Sykes to my friends, and I would highly recommend Stonemouse Cottage, this is the best cottage I have ever stayed in, the welcome pack is amazing, and the owners of the cottage who live opposite are just two of the most lovely people you could ever meet, the attention to detail of everything in the cottage is spot on, the views from the windows are stunning, it's so peaceful, but also a short drive to pubs, shops etc."
I am lucky enough to be going again next year, it's my sister in law whose booked it this time and I can't really wait, thank you Janet and Daniel for making our stay so lovely, and thanks Sykes for having such a top notch cottage on you're books, you have one very happy customer here!
-
"Second visit to this cottage and third booked for next year."
What more can be said about the cottage. If you are looking for luxury accommodation in the Clithero area then stop looking this is the best place. The cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay.
-
"I had never experienced the 'wow factor' effect until I walked into Stone Mouse Cottage - it more than exceeded expectation."
Beautifully furnished, well equipped, spacious, spotlessly clean and located in stunning countryside. The owners went more than the extra mile to ensure that everything was 'just right' - nothing was too much trouble. I could continue to wax lyrical, but all the superlatives have been expressed by earlier reviewers. So, pack your bags and go and discover this Forest of Bowland 'gem' of a property for yourself. You won't regret it!
-
"This is our second visit to Stone Mouse Cottage We cannot begin to tell you what a lovely place it is to spend some down time."
The cottage is 5star + the inventory lacks nothing. The quality of all the linens is top notch. No fault could be found, Janet and Danial were perfect hosts and we would recommend this property to anyone looking for comfort and perfection.
