We really enjoyed our days at Hillcrest Croft. The setting is wonderful—loved the countryside of the Ribble Valley, and we enjoyed the animals on the farm!The bed was comfortable and the shower good. There was plenty of space in the living area. If you are planning to cook your main meals, it’s worth noting there is no freezer or microwave and limited oven dishes. But we ate out our main meal each day,—Stephen gave us good recommendations!And the hot tub with a view was great!We would recommend!!

A really nice, peaceful, scenic place to stay. The views of the countryside and the closeness of the various animals (deer, horses, cows, chickens, goats and especially the black labrador and puppy) all add to the experience of staying here. The owner (Stephen) was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
