"Low Orchard House is a lovely property which is comfortable, clean and is well equipped."
Chipping is a lovely quiet rural village with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. I would recommend the circular walk up church raike to the top of Beacon Fell = approx 7 miles. St Bartholomews historical Church is also well worth a visit there are plentyof places to visit locally includingthe historicmarket market town of Garstang. A lovely part of Lancs. Could be improved by providing a washing line or tumble dryer.

"The house had been cleaned very well prior to our arrival, and was just as shown in the photos."
Handy to walk into Chipping to pubs and cafes, and local walks. A good central spot for exploring the Trough of Bowland. A welcome pint of milk to make a cup of tea would have been a nice touch, but nothing at all was provided. The boiler is annoying and wakes you up at 6 a.m. and keeps going late at night after 11pm. Oddly, there is no mirror in the main bathroom, which makes ablutions difficult. 13.5 tog duvets were far too warm for September, but no other bed linen was provided. Someone turned up to mow the lawn and weed the garden at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning. Nice to have a washing machine, but a decent sized airer would have been helpful. The owner lives next door, but didn’t make any contact with us, other than when we text about key collection/departure. A good sized house, with plenty of facilities, and central for exploring and walking the local area,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the house clean and well-located for exploring Chipping and the Trough of Bowland. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the welcome pint of milk, the mirror in the main bathroom, and the bed linen options, and we will take these into consideration. We apologize for the noise from the boiler and the early gardening disturbance and will review these aspects. Your comments about the airer have been noted as well. While we aim to respect privacy, we are always available via text or phone for any assistance. We hope to welcome you back for another stay. Property Owner

"Very cosy and comfortable cottage, well-appointed and located in a lovely village with local shops and pubs."
Good location for exploring the Trough of Bowland.

"Low Orchard House is nearly new and gave easy access to surrounding areas."
Chipping is a very pretty village. The Trough of Bowland is a delightful unspoilt area of the country. The owner lives very close and was there to welcome us and very quickly answered a couple of subsequent queries. Friday was changeover day; it was no problem to us once we had established it with Sykes.

"Clean, well furnished, newly built eco-friendly house in beautiful Lancashire countryside with everything you need for a great holiday."
Three good sized bedrooms, with really comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen including dishwasher, induction hob, microwave and conventional oven, filter coffee maker and washing machine in small utility room. Chipping Village has a great farm shop with lovely fresh bread and a village shop / post office, as well as two pubs. There are great walks from the doorstep of the house. Further afield there are a variety of activities to suit all ages (we travelled as family of 5 with three children ranging from 4 years to 12 years) including Clitheroe with its Castle, Pendle Hill (which we managed with our 4 year old via the steep route on the way up), Beacon Fell Country Park and lots of lovely gastropubs set in incredible locations. One week did not feel long enough and we are already planning our return!
