Hodder Cottage in The Ribble Valley, Whalley, Lancashire - Sleeps 6

Overlooking beautiful gardens, the spacious Hodder Cottage can accommodate up to 6 guests across three bedrooms. Located next door to Ribble cottage, Hodder benefits from an open-plan layout and skylights that flood the interior with natural light.

While the master bedroom has its own luxury en-suite, the two additional doubles and one twin bedroom share a master bathroom that boasts a roll top bath, sink and shower. This makes Hodder a great choice for friends and families.

The kitchen design is perfect for social gatherings so the ‘designated chef’ won’t miss out on any of the fun. It’s well equipped and has all the utensils you need to cook up a storm. The extendable dining table also comfortably seats six. In the lounge area, two comfy sofas, a flat screen TV with Freeview, DVD player and WiFi throughout the cottage will keep guests entertained on rainy days. Bi-fold doors in the lounge frame a serene view of the trees and open out onto a sun-soaked patio complete with outdoor dining area. Here, guests can spend summer evenings outside cooking a meal on the BBQ and watching the sun set over the treetops.

There’s something for everyone in the surrounding area. From horse riding on heather-clad hillsides, to wild winding climbs, and tempting trails for cyclists of all abilities - both on and off-road. Dean Clough reservoir and the beautiful nearby pine forests are practically on our doorstep. Pendle Hill, Stonyhurst, Marles Wood to Dinckley Bridge, Longridge Fell, Three Rivers, Dunsop Bridge and The Tolkien Trail are a just few of the many walks nearby.

For days out by car, The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the seaside are all less than an hour away.

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.
