The best place we stayed in with regards to hospitality, design and comfort. Amazing couple, people we would be seeing again (if they would have us). The breakfast was higher than professional standards and area is lovely and lots to do near-by.

Whalley, or Wall-e as they seem to say is an interesting place. And I cant imagine there's a better base to explore it from. Absolutely fantastic hosts who made me feel very welcome, not to mention a comfy bed and a big room. A fantastic B and B.

This was an amazing place with the most hospitable couple and adorable dog. I could not recommend this stay highly enough and cannot wait to return. Loved Eleanor's home made muesli as well.

I had a truly wonderful stay at Eleanor and Leigh's beautiful home in Whalley and I can't thank them enough for their kindness and warm welcome. The room was clean, spacious and brightly decorated - there was tea-making facilities, TV, a fabulous private en suite, and the bed was so comfortable I curled up and napped within minutes! The house is perfectly situated for those exploring the local areas (Stonyhurst, Clitheroe Castle, Whalley Abbey) with the bus and train stations located within 5-10 minute walking distance each. Eleanor is the best Air B n B host I have encountered - she has such a warm and friendly personality and her attention to detail is amazing (those Bakewell slices were delicious!). Ele makes you feel not only like a special guest as soon as you walk in the front door, but like an old friend or another member of the family. Breakfast was delicious and the couple's local knowledge is fantastic. Highly recommended. Thank you!

I had the honor of being Eleanor's first guest in Airbnb. It was an absolute pleasure!! She welcomed me in her very beautiful house, in a side street very close to central King Street. She offered me to park my car at her parking, but I did not need to as I found parking in Kings street very close by. As I checked in, she showed me around the house and my room, which as a very comfortable place with a super soft and comfy double bed and a private toilet. I had a kettle, tea and coffee and a botle of water in the room as well. Then she offered me a glass of Prosecco and delicious food, and we started a very interesting conversation about life and travels in the kitchen! It was lovely meeting her, such an inspiring woman. I would recommend anyone to stay with her! You'll have a great time there and the area is very beautiful as well. I went to bed that night very grateful and happy for being there. It is a bit more expensive of what I usually pay for, but it is totally worth it. She also offered me a great breakfast the following morning! Thank you Eleanor! See you in Barcelona or Perú! :)

An absolute gem of a place, Eleanor' home is simply beautiful, both Eleanor and Lee made us feel very very welcome from the moment we arrived, to our departure. The house is set in a stunning location within the village. The home inside has crisp clean lines, stunning furniture, everything has had the upmost attention to detail paid to it. The room was so relaxing, super comfy double bed with all you need for a peaceful and blissful stay. We certainly will be heading back in the future.

I had the most wonderful night's stay in Ele's stunning home. Its was so comfortable, incredibly beautiful with a delicious breakfast! The location was perfect in Whalley which is well worth a visit. Ele was a very warm welcoming host and it was a delight to meet her. She even walked with me back to the train station to show me another part of the town with the most fascinating historical buildings. My only regret was that I didn't stay for longer.

Eleanor and Leigh's place is gorgeous - exactly as described and as other guests have said. In an ideal location, with interesting bars/shops very close. The house is stylish, the welcome genuine and like a home from home. First rate communication and even gave us a lift the next morning to our car parked a couple of miles away! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Sarah was the perfect host, very friendly and made you feel like one of the family. The location was excellent for a 25 min commute to the macron stadium. Parking was easy right outside the property and a nice pub two mins walk away. Would definitely recommend staying again if in the area for business. A wonderful first Airbnb experience, 5 stars Sarah

I stayed at Sarah's place for one night and Sarah was the loveliest and friendliest host I could have imagined. She was very helpflul and here home was very cute, clean and lovely. The house is in the suburbs of Bolton, so you have to take the train from Bolton Station. As the train just takes 8 minutes, the location is still alright. There are some shops and supermarkets near Sarah's place. I definitely recommend Sarah's place and Sarah as a host.

My second stay with Sarah.. all very easy and no problems.. will use again when the room is available.

Sarah is a lovely friendly host. I stayed there for 3 nights a week for the last five weeks whilst studying at Bolton Uni. It was lovely to have someone so friendly to come back to each night. A lovely cosy home and great location for access to Bolton town centre. I will definitely stay again if I need to be in Bolton.

Sarah is a great host! :)

Good stay, all clean, good location, and good value.

I've used Sara three times - all good and very easy - Sarah is a great host - will use again when available.

Very nice host! Sarah's place is very quiet and clean, room is compact but very comfortable, bathroom is Spacious, parking free! I do hope can stay next time when I get back to Bolton area, do recommend this to other guests!

We enjoyed our brief stay with Jane; she was friendly and welcoming and prompt in replying to messages. The double room was comfortable with a great view over fields and countryside. Breakfast was simple but very welcome.

Really great place to stay. The area and the views are beautiful. Great host and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

Jane is a very friendly host. The room was clean and comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

Jane was fab!! Sending me info on direction, made me feel very welcome into her home, would definitely stay there again. thank you again!! :)

Lovely clean smart and nice welcome with a short walk to stunning hill views - 30 mins up to great landscape of moorland pendle hill long ridge and away across to sea at a Morecombe bay

Staying at Jane's was great, she is extremely helpful and even though she wasn't there she arranged for a friend to let us in and show us round. Thanks Jane we definitely recommend you.

Country veiws and clean sheets

Great host great place neat tidy clean. Great communication. Janes very nice hospitable person would highly recommend would definitely visit again.

Lovely secluded lodge!! Perfect for a secluded break away from it all. Hot tub is a definate must have!! Log fire was perfect, making the lodge warm and cosy. Lovely setting great for those who love walking! Thank you!

The Octagon is a charming accommodation that's ideal for larger gatherings or families. While secluded and set in acres of beautiful countryside, it's also a quick drive or shortish walk to Accrington, so handy for shops if you do find you need them. The facilities are excellent, with a powerful hot shower, comfy beds, wood burner, and fridge and oven, so you really have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the layout, with french windows and skylight keeping it light and airy. The outdoor fire pit and seating are great for spending an evening with friends too. Ian was a very welcoming and accommodating host, and kept brilliant communication throughout. I would definitely recommend The Octagon and hopefully will return some day!

Fantastic

Absolutely loved this trip, the accommodation was clean and well set out. Would defiantly recommend for bigger groups :).

This was the most amazing get away for me and my boyfriend! Thank you so much! The hosts, Ian and Donna (and the kids!) were friendly and welcoming and kept my surprise party plans to themselves! I can't wait to return and can't recommend the Octagon enough! Go anytime as long as it's not a weekend that we're planning on going back!

Everything was hassle free; Ian was very prompt in replying to messages in the build up to the stay, and checking in was easy. The place itself is amazing; incredible that Ian built it in such a short period of time. A truly unique building that was very relaxing to stay in, helped by the accommodating nature of the hosts. The grounds the house is in are beautiful as well, so quiet and tranquil. A great trip

Ian & Donna made us feel very welcome, were very attentive and mad sure we got the best of this amazing place over a weekend of lovely weather!

The octagon was absolutely stunning - an amazing house, very cosy with lots of well thought out features and all necessary provisions. Extremely comfy beds and great shower. Plenty of space for 10 to sleep comfortably. Also lots of wood and cushions for sitting round the outside wood burner made for lovely evenings. The house is in gorgeous woodland with lots of nice touches. Ian was extremely helpful in picking us up from the station, explaining how everything worked, advice for those driving and making us feel very welcome. It was a birthday celebration and there was space to have a big dinner and a stereo and space for dancing afterwards. It was a perfect weekend in a truly magical location. Ian was extremely quick to respond and very easy to contact.

Lovely place to stay quiet and relaxing

Fantastic place to stay in a small town, all shops and restaurants in walking distance. Micheal was a great host, very helpful, informative and communication was great, I would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning apartment in a beautifully converted mill. The location was perfect for our wedding weekend away & the apartment was a brilliant base for our daughter's grandma & aunt to babysit her while we partied until the early hours. There's a Lidl across the road for all your essentials & plenty of restaurant & takeaway options nearby. The block even has its own convenience store in the basement - which was really handy. Oves was a charming host & went above & beyond the call of duty to sort out a taxi for us & accommodate our needs. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely stay x

The apartment was very well located - about 10 minutes from the M6 and easy walking distance to the main shopping area of Preston. We drove into Blackpool both days we stayed and it only took 30 - 35 minutes to get into the heart of Blackpool. The main living area was very spacious and light. The balcony bedroom didn't work so well for us as we had a baby sleeping in this room with us. This meant we had to keep the lighting in the living area low and the TV volume barely audible. This certainly would not be an issue if you have older children or adults only use the apartment. If we need accommodation again in this area we would definitely consider this apartment.

Great space. Huge ceiling open plan living space. Had sun shine into room throughout day. Great facilities and a retro PlayStation 2 to play. Very good host. If staying in Preston again will look to book again

Great "home base" from which to explore York, Manchester, Liverpool, and the Lake District (provided you have a car). A LiDL grocery/sundry store is right across the street with a good selection of food and drink, and we also found a few essential electronic accessories at the Alam shop close by - both within a 5-minute walk. Although we saw people coming in and out of the main entrance (in the back), we didn't see anyone else on our floor or in nearby apartments, which, like the others, was enormous. This could be a pro or a con, depending on your preferences. The flat was very quiet, save for some street noise coming from the open windows. The flat offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The apartment was great for my short stay in Preston. Close to the city and a Lidl just across the road meant any emergency shopping and entertainment is not hard to find. Oves was a great host, very easy to communicate with and would definitely recommend him and the apartment to anyone deciding on where to stay in Preston.

It was very stuffy and hot within the house and the odour was unbearable... It was my first and perhaps last air bnb experience... No complaints for the host... He was very good but this stay had really put us off..

Very roomy and perfect location and parking was never an issue. Oves is a lovley gentleman; the perfect host.

We were a party of 5 (4 Adults and 1 toddler . We had no issues spotting the house and the check in process was all smooth. The host was there to welcome us and gave us few tips for sightseeing. All the amenities as promised were provided. WIfi was good. Apt location while you are at city or if you are sightseeing around the lakes or lancaster or blackpool. Lidl is just opposite and Aldi and few other shops just across the road. We had good indian restaurants just mins away. So location was very apt for us. Just few drawbacks, the mill compound itself looks old with the corridors and interiors with old building odors. The odors were inside the house too, partly because we have to keep the windows open to have air circulation else it can be too hot and stuffy during summer. Fans could have helped. There was no shower over the bath (also shown in their pic). with kids around, a hand shower in the bath could have helped. Since we did not stay during the day (as we were sightseeing most of the day), did not face much problem.

Warm and welcoming hosts, set in a beautiful location

It's difficult to add to all previous reviews. We can confirm though that this is as good as these reviews suggest! Beautiful house, Elly and Leigh are great hosts, brilliant breakfast. Whally itself is Well worth a visit too. All around great stay, we highly recommend this place!

Words really can't do this place justice. Beautifully decorated with wonderful art and curios and spotlessly clean. The room is a very comfy double bed on a mezzanine with tea and coffee making facilities. Eleanor is a very warm host who provided us with a delicious breakfast and interesting conversation. We weren't familiar with the area but staying in this lovely house with such a welcoming host was a fantastic introduction. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Can confirm that what reads like hyperbole in previous reviews is really true. We booked at the last minute and Eleanor was about as accommodating, helpful and friendly as it's possible to be. The actual place is seriously nice - large rooms, nice decor (you can tell when someone's well-travelled...). As a previous resident of Whalley, I can say that, if you're looking for a base of operations to explore the surrounding area(s), you won't do much better than this. Thanks for a lovely - if short - stay, Eleanor.

We were four friends doing a long distance cycling tour. Eleanor was a wonderful host! Comfy beds in a nice secluded section of the house. Incredible bathroom. Well situated for exploring Walley. Also secure bike storage. And the breakfast was huge and delicious! Cannot recommend more!

Eleanor and Leigh are fantastic hosts with a lovely home. I would highly recommend staying here! The room was cosy, comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome. Wonderful breakfast too!

Although I didnt end up staying, the hosts were lovely, thoughtful and kind-hearted with great communication.

A great place to stay. Really accommodating and pleasant hosts. A really comfortable room with everything you could possibly need and excellent breakfast too!

Helen was an excellent host and very welcoming. There was plenty of room and the bed was comfy. Helen made sure we had everything we needed, and had even left a few extras we weren't expecting to make our stay even better. We'd definitely go back if we were in the area and would recommend it to others!

We had a lovely experience staying at Helen's apartment. Despite only staying for one night we were made to feel welcome and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Helen

I stayed one night at Helen and Phil's lovely, private self contained flatlet. It was peaceful, clean, light and bright with a beautiful view of Pendle from the upstairs living room. Everything was in order! Bread, eggs and coffee for breakfast. Whalley, which is a lovely village with shops, cafes/restaurants and the amazing Whalley Abbey ruins is a scenic short 20 min walk away along the viaduct across the River Calder and into Whalley. I can definitely recommend and would love to return. Thanks Helen and Phil for making me feel welcome and all the directions.

My first Airbnb experience was first class and Helen made my son and myself very welcome. The accommodation was exactly as described and was immaculate and I would definitely be going back if I'm back in the area.

Lovely place to stay - Helen was very helpful and even washed our cycling gear - she made us feel very at home.

Excellent mini house totally self contained and split level with a fab balcony mezzanine; sofa and tv up there and a lovely quiet bedroom and mini kitchen downstairs. Bath and shower really good and the whole place was immaculate and clean. Bread eggs and milk nice touch! Kind and friendly host most accommodating. We had a relaxed time and could have stayed longer for sure. View out to Pendle hill and a few mins to walks. Will be back! Thanks

Helen and Phil were fantastic hosts from start to finish. I arrived very late but that wasn't a problem. The apartment was great and a great location. I will be staying again. Thanks guys!

Helen and Phil's lovely annex is a real find, perfect for two people with warm friendly hosts who are next door when you need help otherwise completely unobtrusive. Everything was neat and clean, a welcome sanctuary after a long drive, with a generously stocked the kitchen of basic needs to get us started, bread, butter, eggs, milk, tea and coffee as well as some nice little pots of Tiptree jam and what tasted like homemade jam and marmalade. The bed was very comfortable and the blackout curtains in the bedroom meant we weren't awakened by the early summer dawn. We hope to stay with you again and again and will recommend you to anyone who needs a marvelous place to stay in the area.

The host is very intelligent and its very nice to chat with him, the house is really nice with a big yard and you could chill there. Got a place for my motorcycle in the yard, also the room provided was top class, super clean with comfier bed than at home. Really comfy and relaxed experience, would recommend. A+++

The place was nice in a very nice location. Javaid was very friendly and polite.

The best airbnb experience in UK so far! Javaid is one very nice and warm host make me feel like home, thanks a lots, hope see you soon! It is more than my expectation, very comfortable room with one cloakroom, perfect !Big house with one big yard! Free park! Next time when back to Manchester, do hope can stay again here for longer time! Strongly recommend to others!

Great price and clean comfortable room. Javaid was a delightful host.

Perfect for weekend stay

A charming cottage. Lovely and warm and welcoming. The decor is original - lovely fabrics and furnishings - and it all worked well. It's a small, but perfectly formed and workable kitchen with all the tools you need to prepare a meal. The wine and other bits were welcome, particularly the free-range eggs and cake. Always good after a long drive. Trisha was very helpful and supportive when I had a day when everything went wrong. A big thank you.

One of the best places I have stayed at! So central to the town, everything was in walking distance, Trisha (the host) was a treat to do business with, understanding, caring, I cant say enough nice things about our interactions. I would highly recommend this place to everyone and cant wait to stay there again.

Lovely cosy and comfortable cottage in a great location. Some nice thoughtful additions from the host Trisha, such as breakfast items. Trisha was great at communicating, all in all we had a great time at her cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

On arriving at the cottage we where very kindly greated, and then given a full tour off the property. The cottage it's self is lovely and finished to the highest standard. Trisha was kind enough to provide us with the essentials such as tea, coffee, milk bread and eggs etc which was a lovely touch. We had such a wonderful time staying at the cottage it was a very comfortable and relaxing environment. I would highly reccomend Trisha's place to anyone needing accommodation in the area. We will certainly visit again.

Host is extremely welcoming and friendly, also very good to talk to. Rooms are brilliant, bed extremely comfy

Great location Great host and room very clean

Very convenient location for lots to see and do . Immaculate , large and clean room with tea and coffee and nice hot shower .

From the excellent communication and personal check in to the additional facilities (kitchen, fridge, washing and drying) this is a great place to base yourself for the area. All the benefits of privacy and plenty of room and a lively local nightlife and great Chinese restaraunt on the doorstep. Will certainly be staying again when in the area.

Hello Michael Thanks so much for being so helpful during our stay, the rooms are large and very clean with all amenities. Plus the use of a full size kitchen is a great asset. We can highly recommend this location and will certainly return if in the area.

Michael was great, easy to get in touch with, responsive and very friendly. The property itself is in a very nice location, it's quiet but near all local amenities including pubs and cafés. Very clean too, we'll be back on our next trip!

It's always a pleasure to stay with Clive and Tricia. I couldn't be made to feel more welcome or at home. They really are such excellent hosts and wonderful people.

An absolutely exceptional stay. Clive and Tricia offered us hospitality above and beyond all of my expectations of an Airbnb stay. Our stay was second to none and they have our highest recommendation. Lovely and engaging hosts, luxurious accommodation, great bed, exceptional hospitality. We look forward to staying with them again in future.

We were celebrating with friends at a dinner in Whalley and were delighted to find Clive's place on Airbnb. It lived up to all our expectations and Clive and Tricia were excellent hosts.

Had the best stay ever with Clive and Trish they are the loveliest couple and have the cutest little dog! Lovely house ! Will definitely stay again when in the area! They couldn't do enough for us , even left us a cheeseboard and little gifts in the room! Definitely recommended :)

Clive, Tricia and Jake were superb hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The room equivalent to a 5 star hotel and the attention to detail was second to none. The breakfasts were varied and as big as you liked, and my gluten free diet was catered for which was very much appreciated. We were very well looked after and enjoyed our stay, both Clive and Tricia have a fantastic sense of humour and personality. If you need somewhere to stay in that corner of the world you can book this with full confidence.

Wow! Really amazing! Clive and Trish couldn't have been more welcoming hosts and their home was gorgeous! We were offered tea and cake on arrival and enjoyed chatting with them. Our ensuite room was beautifully decorated, spacious and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need from different varieties of tea & coffee & cookies to dressing gowns and extra toiletries. Trish made us a gorgeous breakfast - full English, juices, fresh fruit, cereals, toast and more! We think you should create a new 6 star rating category just for Clive and Trish! We'll recommend you to everyone and will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A great place to stay! The rooms was lovely and very clean. Clive is the perfrct host and i would higly recomend yoi stay here if you visit Whalley!

OMG! You will never find a better home, better hosts, this place is not just perfect in everything - it's beyond belief! An ideal world of tidy and beautiful interiors, fantastic garden and a family feel every second of the way... I miss Trish and Clive already! Thank you so much for your warmth and fascinating stories! We will be back!

Sheila is very friendly and quick to respond to the booking and questions, easy to find with off road parking, location is in a safe area with local pubs close by if needed.

Sheila is excellent company and a great cook. Perfect whether you want piece and quiet or someone to talk with all evening while sharing a bottle of wine. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would definitely book again. In fact I've stayed 3 times in a month now while I'm awaiting my new house to complete.

Sheila's home is beautifully kept and very comfortable. I would recommend a stay with Sheila to anyone.

I stayed at Sheila's place whilst working in the lovely North West. The house is in a lovely quiet village setting. The single bedroom was clean and comfortable with a ridiculously comfy bed. Sheila is a fabulous host making you feel very welcome and is happy for you to treat her home as your own during your stay. There is off road parking. Highly recommended.

3rd stay at Sheila's place. Sheila is a fabulous host. Welcoming and entertaining. Room is clean and comfortable. Sheila is happy to sit with a cuppa and have a natter or give you privacy if that's prefered. Highly recommended.

Thanks Sheila, your accommodation has been a great solution for me

Was a good week at Shelia's. Lovely lady who is happy to make you feel at home. Was a great stay.. back again next week.

Sheila is friendly but will give you space if that's what you require. She went above and beyond by offering to collect me from Chorley bus station and next day dropped me off in Wrightington for the continuation of my walk. Fantastic value for money. Sheila made me scrambled eggs, veggie sausage and a hash brown for brekkie. The property has a power shower, the bed is comfy and there is butterfly wallpaper in the room, what more could you want!?

A superb place to stay! Very lovely hosts! I think this is the best experience so far! Clean, comfy, private, light. Seriously, can not recommend that place highly enough!

Fantastic hosts. Great base to explore from. Lovely open and bright property with everything you would need for a short break. We would highly recommend this rental and we would definately stay again. Thank you.

Great secluded place with friendly hosts.

It's a lively and quiet place, and also spacious. the decoration and the interiors are perfect. I enjoy my sleep there, and in the morning I enjoy the sunrise both in the farm and the canal, because the nature is so beautiful. it also perfect as a place to rest if you do the leeds liverpool canal cycling trip (as I did!).

This airbnb is amazing!! It is spotless, well located and the hosts are so hospitable, going out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Thoroughly recommended

Maria's communication is fantastic. The studio is beautiful with everything required for an overnight stay. Maria was thoughtful & had the fire on so it was warm when we arrived. She also left some fresh milk & bottles of water for us. Highly recommended Thank you

Phil was very helpful in the lead-up to our stay in terms of answering questions about the local area, restaurants and (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication was prompt, which made liaising about arrival really easy. Julie came to meet us on arrival and was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us further useful info on restaurant choices for our first night. The apartment was really smart, comfortable & modern with everything we could have needed for a weekend away, including great kitchen facilities. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

A super place to stay. Perfect for a family visiting the Ribble Valley. The apartment is beautifully appointed with great attention to detail. The owner even provisioned the fridge - very welcome after a long journey and provided a welcoming bottle of prosecco. We will return if we visit the area again. Highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend this place. Very clean & well equipped. The welcome pack with basic supplies was very much appreciated and Phil even gave us a lift to the pub.

Phil is a great host. A personal welcome means a lot. A lovely quiet spot to stay.

Great host cupboards had necessities in such as milk butter bread, and Phil was even kind enough to leave out nibbles and Prosecco! Just amazing. Easy to communicate with and perfect for my friends wedding at Mitton Hall.

Phil is a prompt and clear communicator when responding to queries re booking. The apartment felt welcoming and was well equipped for a self catering stay. It is an easy walk into Whalley or there is a longer but more picturesque walk across the fields (speak to Phil). A great location for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. A walk up Pendle Hill starting in Barley is a great day out. Pub Pendle Inn, Barley. Phil is a super host.

Brilliant hosts. The welcome package of tea, biscuits milk etc was brilliant House lovely clean and well made up for us. Thanks

Great place to stay nice and clean Phil provided lots of food and and drink very thoughtful ( bottled water, cans of coke orange juice cereal bread etc ) Would be happy to recommend Good commmunication

Michael is a lovely host, he met us at the cottage to give us the keys and showed us around the house. He is also funny and gave lots of recommendations. He was really easy going with the check out which suited us perfectly. I would highly recommend Michael.
