WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

This is our third stay at Oakdean Cottages and this time we booked into Ribble Cottage with our two dogs. We have previously stayed in the Hodder and Calder cottages and all three cottages have been super. We were impressed with the cleanliness, quality of furnishings and hi-spec kitchen facilities and on arrival we instantly relaxed in the beautiful and quiet location. I love the walks on the doorstep, so many to choose from. The location provides easy access routes within the Ribble Valley and is great for visiting further afield places like Manchester.
We will be sure to stay with Anna, Ian and Sue on many more occasions. It's the perfect for us when visiting our families in Lancashire.
Thank you for being so welcoming and hope to see you soon!

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

We have now stayed in Oakdean Cottages 4 times and every stay has been perfect. The cottages are spotlessly clean, toasty warm even when it was -6 outside, and very comfy with everything you need for a home from home stay. Anna is very welcoming and brought extra toys around for our 7 and 4 year old children. The location is stunning with incredible views of the valley and lovely walks right from the doorstep. The outside area is safe and enclosed so the children could happily play out, in the snow this time, whilst we relaxed with a coffee. The two cottages next to each other would be perfect for friends or two family's to go away together. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our next stay.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

Our second visit to Ribble Cottage seeing family locally. We love the spacious accommodation and facilities which make for a very relaxing stay. We also enjoyed the walks from our front door down to Dean Clough reservoir and the excellent Lord Nelson pub.
