"Delightful stone cottage at end of terrace of three."
Well equipped, very comfortable beds. Garden is beautiful and it is sunny to sit outside in the evening. Parking in the village is available, however it would be more convenient to park outside the designated garage. We unloaded the car on the road outside the cottage which is busy at school times. We would happily stay here again, Chipping is a very attractive village with some many old stone buildings.

"Fantastic place, really felt at home."

"Lovely,comfortable cottage with a much appreciated welcome pack of goodies."
We found the heating a little unreliable but the open fire was very nice.The Sun pub was very welcoming with good food and the farm shop very handy for local produce. Chipping is well placed for exploring the Forest of Bowland area ,a very beautiful place to be. Altogether a wonderful holiday.

"Only complaint is the parking arrangements very,very tight to park in front of garages when other cars are parked there."
Thanks for your feedback and for the positive scoring. There is an excellent local car park two minutes walk away and roadside parking available. Details are provided of the local car park with the arrival instructions. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage."
It was well equipped and very comfortable. The garden was delightful.
-
"Very comfortable property."
Overall the cleanliness on arrival was of a good standard, although the cooker and toaster could have been cleaner. Parking is tight, but this is explained before arrival, and we had no problem. We appreciated the advance email from the owner containing useful information about the area.

"Excellent accomodation, which provided everything we needed."

"The Cottage was lovely, very clean and tidy with clear and helpful instructions left by the owner."
-
"The property was lovely, spacious and had everything you would need for a break away."
The owner had kindly left us cheese from the local area and some eggs from their farm. The cottage was clean and tidy for the most part. However, inside the kitchen cupboards, the kitchen utensils and equipment were not the cleanest and needed cleaning before use. The parking situation wasn’t great. The allocated parking space is very small and difficult to get in and out of (in a median sized car) and no on street parking outside. It was also located around the back of an adjacent property, making loading and unloading the car more difficult.
Samantha - thank you for the feedback. I am glad you found it spacious and had everything you needed. We have taken on board all your feedback. The cottage is in an ancient village with narrow cobbled streets, as you say on street parking is limited. However, as well as parking for one medium sized car at the property, there is an excellent village car park very nearby. We include the details of the car park in our welcome pack. Thanks again for the feedback. Property Owner

"This is a very comfortable and well-equipped cottage, with a prime location on Windy Street."
It also has an attractive garden with patio at the back. I would definitely return.

"We had a really lovely stay here."
It's a beautiful, spacious cottage in a lovely village; very well equipped, and communication with the owner was excellent. Would highly recommend, and hope to return soon.
Fabulous to hear you enjoyed it. You are welcome back any time Property Owner

"The property was well equipped and big enough for us five."
The village of Chipping is a hidden treasure of Lancashire. Two pubs Two shops . The perfect base for all our excursions. I would not hesitate in recommending Springfield cottage to anybody who wants a perfect relaxing break.
-
"Property was beautiful, very clean everything you could ask for a home from home village has a couple of pubs and a cafe supermarket 10 minutes drive away excellent property would recommend it to anyone."
-
"We loved everything about the cottage apart from the parking!"
Not a lot to be done about that unfortunately. The cottage itself and its location were perfect. Everything which could be needed was provided and it would be an ideal property for a family.
Thanks for your feedback and I so glad you enjoyed yourself. Sorry you found the parking so difficult. We were unaware that builders are working on a nearby property and their van being parked during the day is making it very difficult to get in and out of our parking space at the moment. Hopefully, all works will be completed very soon. For future visits, there is also an excellent village car park just a minute's walk from the property. Property Owner

"Wonderful location and the cottage was great as well."
Very comfortable and all that we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The information provided was very helpful - we did a few of the recommended local walks as well which our dog enjoyed.
-
"The cottage was truly a "home " whilst we were there ."
A very relaxing time. The owners have thought of everything that visitors might need. Hope we can return and will recommend to anyone else we know who may be thinking of visiting the area.
-
"The cottage was very spacious and comfortable."
The only reason we would not recommend it is the parking arrangements. It was an extremely tight space necessitating weaving between several other parked cars.
We are sorry you found parking difficult. During your stay the neighbours had builders working on their property. Building works are now complete and a new parking arrangement has been agreed with the neighbours which makes it easier to get in and out of our allocated parking space. There is also an excellent village car park just a minute away from the property. We do look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in this warm and comfortable cottage, which was ideal as a base for 3 generations of our family."
Plenty of space for everyone, comfy beds, and a homely feel. Very pretty and well maintained garden! Amazing walks on the doorstep. We will definitely stay here again, many thanks!
-
"Comfortable, cosy, well equipped and clean house."
Lovely back garden although the ropey weather meant we didn't have many opportunities to enjoy it more! Located in a picturesque village, but close enough to enjoy bigger towns and cities.

"Parking was a bit difficult with the neighbours boyfriends car !"
Thanks for your feedback, we have agreed a changed parking arrangement to make it easier to get in and out of. Property Owner
-
"Chipping is really lovely as is the cottage."
Owner allowed us to use the garage for our cycles. There is no dishwasher but otherwise was well equipped. Great area for walking and cycling - very quiet.
Thanks for your feedback, we have taken it on board and now had a dishwasher installed. Property Owner

Wonderful village.

"We have had a lovely week in a Springfield cottage."
We can highly recommend it to everybody who look for a nice and quiet area. We definitely loved it ❤️

"Minor niggles, e."
G. no non-stick frying pan, upstairs floorboards creak when someone is moving around in middle of night, so could disturb others, and adjacent car parking virually impossible. Better info needed about getting overnight permits to park on village car park. (my daughter was penalised because her on-line payment failed to be registered, though I believe this was recified). Fridge could do with being larger and better positioned. Otherwise, very satisfied indeed with cottage and surrounding beautiful area.
Thanks for the feedback about the cottage. A new larger fridge has been installed. Full details of parking arrangements including overnight parking permits for the village are included in the Cottage information pack. Property Owner

We are pleased that we could help you out and offer you our cottage when storm Ciara struck. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon. Property Owner

"The ‘exceeded expectations’ is for the cottage, which was great."
Met all our needs and more. Location fantastic. Super week.
-
"Cottage was spacious, clean, comfortable and ideally situated in what is a very sweet and peaceful village."
Beautiful outlook, backing on to the school field. Lovely front and back garden and it's very own parking space. Both pubs, very well, both serve great food and at the time of year we went were very warm. The Cobbled Corner cafe again great food, we had breakfast. The Farm shop friendly and welcoming having everything you need. Even a vegan shelf. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Springfield cottage and Sykes Cottages.

"We had a lovely stay at Springfield Cottage."
It was a comfortable and clean cottage with a very homey feel. The open fire was a great added touch. We loved our country walks in Chipping and eating and drinking in the historic Sun Inn.
-
"Lovely clean cottage in a quiet little village."
Had everything we needed.
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely village, in a lovely area."
The mattress on the double bed was a bit bouncy and creaky, it did keep us awake sometimes. Other than that, loved it.
Thank you for your feedback, we take any feedback from customers seriously. We have now replaced the bed & mattress with a new king size bed. Reports are it is very comfy and not at all creaky!! Property Owner
