LOCATION
Surrounded by rolling hills and winding rivers, Oakdean Cottages in The Ribble Valley offer the ideal base to immerse yourself in the Lancashire countryside. Their location, nestled on a serene hillside in beautiful gated gardens boasting spectacular views, provides the perfect space for a relaxing getaway. Described as 'an excellent gateway to the North', these three multi-award winning cottages have great transport links to major cities and tourist hot spots throughout the North West.
Oakdean Cottages are situated in the small rural village of Langho, in serene countryside with stunning views of the Ribble Valley. This also places us within the official Forest of Bowland AONB, a setting that has inspired many - including J.R.R. Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There are more than 40 idyllic villages surrounding Langho, the nearest of which is Whalley; just a 5 min drive or 30 min walk. Along with a beautiful Abbey, the Grade II listed Whalley Viaduct (the largest in Lancashire), shops, a deli, and a bakery, there are pubs, bars and restaurants to suit every appetite. The charming market town of Clitheroe is only a 15 min drive away and offers a large choice of supermarkets, independent shops, places to eat, and a beautiful park and playground in the grounds of the iconic medieval Castle. For days out by car, The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the seaside are all less than an hour away. As our cottages are in the Ribble Valley we are perfectly situated for guests coming further afield as we’re close to Junction 31 of the M6 with very good transport links. Preston is a 30 min drive away where direct trains go to London (2 hrs), to Glasgow (2 hrs) and to Edinburgh (2 hrs 30 mins). Described as Lancashire and Yorkshire’s hub into and out of the North, Manchester and Leeds are approx 1 hr drive away and both cities have international airports. The famous warmth of Lancastrian hospitality ensures visitors from all over the globe return time and time again.
OUR SURROUNDINGS

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.

The Ribble Valley is one of our favourite places to visit and this time we were thrilled to be staying in such 5 star accommodation.
The cottage was amazing, beautifully fitted out with a glorious patio and space to relax, breathe and enjoy the surroundings.
Plenty to do locally, and further afield. We were able to walk to the friendly Lord Nelson, and a short drive to the excellent restaurant at Northcote.
The team at the cottages were welcoming and helpful, we had a great stay.
Thank you all.

A lovely place which was perfectly decked out. We had everything we needed and the specs were high. Anna was very welcoming and helpful. We went with my elderly parents and they loved how easy it was for them to move around without any stress. The scenery was stunning too, with some friendly alpacas just around the corner too! Would highly recommend.

We have just returned from our stay in Ribble Cottage. It is one of those little gems of a place you want to keep all to yourself because it is wonderful. Set in a private garden it is so beautiful. Ribble Cottage has everything you could ever wish for. Lovely little touches; fresh flowers, fresh milk and orange juice, lovely patio with furniture, very well kept garden with water feature, little summer house with BBQ and table and chairs. The cottage is spacious with the most up to date fabulous kitchen and bedrooms (both en-suite) with gorgeous, beautiful white bedding, fluffy pillows and towels also included white soft bathrobes.
These cottages are 5*. Anna and Ian could not do enough for you. With ample parking, they are private and enclosed with electric gates.
We were next door to two families with a young girl, three toddlers and a baby and the only time we heard anything from them was when they were going out for the day. Sound proofing in the cottage is superb. We will be definitely be returning.
Thank you so much Anna and Ian for a wonderful stay.

We had a splendid time staying at Hodder Cottage! Three mums, four children and a baby= chaos, noise, craziness and a lot of FUN! The location is quiet in gorgeous surroundings, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee in the peace (the summer house was ideal for this). The property is stunning with all the amenities you could wish for! Everything was super clean and to a high quality with up to date technology/ appliances. The hosts were very hospitable and provided us with extra toys/paddling pool etc to ensure the children were kept busy and had lots of fun! They really did help us with anything we needed! Using the zip line on the field and meeting the Alpacas was an extra special treat which we all loved! Thank you to the hosts! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends! Would be perfect for 2 families to stay next to each other in the other cottage. Thank you so much!

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

We had a wonderful multi-generational stay in Hodder Cottage with our family. The accommodation was superb; spotlessly clean, extremely well-equipped and maintained, including a lovely outside seating area and garden. Very beautiful and peaceful location. The owners and manager were exceedingly helpful and even provided age-appropriate equipment and toys for our baby grandson. Lots of lovely extra touches including welcome pack and supplies. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
