About this property
Stable View Cottage is a cosy, stone-built cottage situated on the owner's farmland, nestling the fringes of Botlon-by-Bowland, in the picturesque Ribble Valley. This is the ideal escape for a couple seeking a romantic getaway or a small family of three looking to discover a varied holiday with plenty to see and do. Once you have explored the attractions of the surrounding area, return to find a horse and its rider show jumping in the manége within the grounds or perhaps a wandering lamb in the field if you are visiting in the springtime. Step in through the patio doors and find this modern dwelling, where you can fully relax among fresh, muted colour schemes and lovely homely features such as picture frames and soft furnishings, making you feel at ease. Get together around the dining table for a delicious hot meal and later when you're doing the clearing up, catch glimpses of the ponies in the fields next door. Climb the stairs to bed after a tiring day and find a charming super king-size double room with zip/link beds giving you the option of a twin set up if you prefer. There is also a single room and a beautiful shower room waking you up each morning with modern fixtures. Step out onto the patio from the dining area and soak up a sun-filled day with a drink in hand and a good book to get your teeth into. Dip in the hot tub for a spot of luxury on a balmy evening and relax your muscles in the warm bubbles before enjoying a night in with your loved ones.You have a plethora of walking trails and bridleways close by for those who like to get out and about in the fresh country air. The surrounding Ribble Valley is a sight to behold, a wondrous region of natural beauty waiting to be explored. The village of Bolton by Bowland is within walking distance (10 minutes) and there is also the Coach and Horses pub and a garden centre with a cafe in the village. A short drive away (approx 6 miles) is Gisburn Forest famed for its mountain biking tracks and walking.

Parking space right outside for simple unloading and a lovely private courtyard with hot tub to relax in at any time of day. The owners are so helpful and friendly and took time to show us around their stables to meet their wonderful horses and dogs. We would thoroughly recommend and look forward to returning. Thank you!!

It's well finished and furnished and we found it very comfortable for a couple. There's a small patio outside with garden chairs and a hot tub (unused) and a narrow strip of grass bordering the adjacent field.

Very spacious and comfortable and the private parking spot made loading and unloading the car very easy. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, just what you need after a long day of walking around the beautiful countryside.
