• "An amazing property, finished to a very high standard."

  The garden is beautiful, it is shared with the owners but there is a private seating area to the side of the lodge, absolute sun trap. Lovely location, very quiet and secluded. The town of Whalley is ideal, has everything you need from pubs, restaurants, takeaways, post office, shops and a Co-op and Spar. Great location also to explore the wider area. Julie and Paul are the perfect hosts, very friendly and have great knowledge of the area, giving advice on places to eat, drink, visit, walk and public transport. Nothing was a bother to them, they were available, if needed at anytime. They have a young Cocker Spaniel who kept our Dalmatian Martha entertained. Overall a lovely few nights stay, would highly recommend

  Thank you so much for such a lovely review of the Lodge. We are so glad you had a lovely time in the Ribble Valley, and made use of the garden before the monsoon arrived! It was a pleasure to meet you both and lovely Martha, and would welcome you all back anytime. Thank you again for your kind words, it really means a lot. Julie & Paul Property Owner

• "Fantastic holiday lodge spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard loads of space inside that maybe the photos don't give credit too lovely very large garden that is shared with owners but also has a private patio area with furniture ."

  Julie and Paul are a lovely couple who are there to greet you when collecting keys and have loads of local knowledge to point you in right direction if required but are not pushy if you want to do your own thing . Thank uiy for the lovely welcome gifts. If you are taking a dog the owners also have a cocker spaniel called arla who makes a good companion for your furry friend . The location is perfect it is at end of small lane that feels quiet and secluded yet is literally 2 mins walk to village centre with loads of shops bars and restaurants but there is also a lovely walk along a small brook right outside gate that will take you to countryside and spring woods .

  What a fabulously sunny week you had at The Lodge! Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review . We are so glad you enjoyed your time in the Ribble Valley, it was lovely to meet you both and lovely Milo. Hope to see you again, Julie & Paul Property Owner

• "The house was fantastic, it is beautifully decorated, really well maintained and very clean."

  It has everything you need and more. It was in the perfect location for exploring Whalley and the nearby surroundings. Julie was amazing, she met us on the first night, welcomed us to the property and showed us around. She gave us some wonderful advice on local restaurants, pubs, walks and activities taking place over the Easter weekend, all of which we did and thoroughly enjoyed! All the family had a brilliant time away together - adults, children and of course the dog! We would highly recommend this property and would love to go back. Places we enjoyed visiting include (all dog friendly): Artisan Deli & ice cream parlour in the centre of Whalley - great for lunch, cakes and ice creams. Forum in the centre of Whalley - we had a lovely dinner there and great cocktails too. Aspinall Arms - dog friendly pub approx. 2.4 miles away, lovely food and drinks, the staff were great too. Mitton Hall - dog friendly in the bar area, approx. 2.3 miles away, lovely food and drinks, the staff were fantastic here too. Springwood - we had a nice dog walk on Easter Sunday here. Clitheroe - we took our dog on the train and he had a blast! We went twice, once to visit the castle and shops, then the next time we went to Holmes Mill to do duck pin bowling. Thank you to Julie and Paul for being fantastic hosts! Many thanks, Sonia

• "It is advertised as having an enclosed garden buy it hasnt."

  This is nothing to do with the owner, she is really nice. It is to do with sykes getting it wrong and not admitting they got it wrong. They are a big company that doesn't care about their customer. Sales matter to them. Terrible customer service too. I will come back to this cottage but not through sykes.

  Julie was welcoming and made us feel at ease throughout our stay. Julie offered us lots of recommendations and was there whenever we needed anything :) There was an most amazing welcome package for us when we arrived and some treats for my little boy, Julie really did go above and beyond for us. The house was so clean and beautifully designed, it was the most magical way to spend our Christmas together as a family. In terms of location, the lodge is perfect, so close to the centre of Whalley, which has such a great range of restaurants and pubs. We went on a few lovely walks that are really close. I would have no hesitation booking this place again, would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of staying.

  The lodge is absolutely beautiful, well presented and has everything you need. After exploring the local area , it is lovely to come back and chill in-front of the telly with a drink on one of the comfy sofas. The bed was amazing , slept so well. Located only a five minute walk into the town that has excellent facilities. The Dog Inn was very welcoming and The Friary fish and chips were exceptional . We walked up to Spring Wood , which was a bit muddy due to the rain we had but worth a visit. Train Station was only 15 minute walk to travel further afield as well as bus station 10 mins away. Julie was a prefect host ,very welcoming and who was on hand to offer advice on where to go. Definitely will be back to visit more of the Ribble Valley. Thank you Julie , Sam ,Linden &Ozzie xx

  We were 3 adults and a dog and there was so much space, it was great. The facilities were great. We were doing a Coast to Coast walk and Whalley was a good central point travelling from Lancashire coast east. Having a bath was a welcome relief!

• "Excellent property, lovely and clean, spacious and although sited adjacent to the owners property felt quite private."

  The lounge are was very comfortable with three really good sofas and plenty of throws and cushions. I found the bed in the main upstairs bedroom to be a bit uncomfortable, with a tendency to roll you to the edge, this may be a mattress or a base issue, it is only a very minor point. This is the only point were I would rate a 4/5 on the comfort with the overall stay definitely being a 5/5. Kitchen had all required for a short stay except for a freezer which wasn’t too much of a problem. Perhaps for these hot months a counter top ice maker would be a good addition. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. Host was excellent and very responsive, good local knowledge and engaging.

  Thank you for your feedback. I have spoken to he manufactures of the bed, made a slight adjustment and all is good, Perhaps in the future I will add a freezer, however I do have bags of ice for my guests and I’m happy to put any frozen items in my freezer, I’ve done this before and it was a perfect solution.

  We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to stay at Julie's lodge. The Lodge at Bridgeway was exactly as described, spacious and comfortable to accommodate 6 people. Anything we needed was at our disposal, and Julie was always helpful and extremely responsive if we had any questions. Whalley is such a special village, perfectly based to explore all that the Lancashire countryside has to offer. The lodge is right on the public foot path to Springwood forest, an ancient woodland with beautiful wildflowers. There is also many walks nearby, including the hike up Whalley nab, a circular walk from the Aspinall Arms, and the many walks around Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland all within close distance. Restaurants in Clitheroe were also very easy to get to in approximately 10 minutes by car. In terms of local highlights, we enjoyed a lovely meal at King Street Kitchen just around the corner, and took full advantage of the sun-trapped patio on the property to enjoy ice cream from Holden's & Co. Jack's of Whalley was a great little bar with lots of gin options! And finally, having a train station with service to Manchester was a bonus. We hope to return to Whalley one day soon, and would not hesitate to book The Lodge at Bridgeway!

  We were met with a very warm welcome by Julie, who then showed us around. The property itself is beautiful and is set in a peaceful location. Inside it only gets better!!! It's immaculate, very spacious, has a lovely layout and feels very homely. We had a welcome pack of champagne, beers, tea, coffee, milk, bread etc, but knowing we were also bringing a dog, she had even supplied treats, food dishes, blankets etc for her. It has everything you need and more..we wanted for nothing. On occasions we met up outside, I was met with warm and friendly chats...Julie has a great sense of humour. She is very approachable and helped me on a few occasions letting the dog out if I was to be away for a few hours. I would definitely recommend this property as I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Even though we are only 4 miles away, if I have family to come and stay, or even for a break, I will definitely look at going back.
