A lovely, tranquil cottage in a beautiful setting with splendid views.. We received a lovely welcome and the freshly laid eggs and goodies were a very thoughtful gesture.

The cottage was very comfy and cosy.. The view from the lounge patio/ kitchen windows were amazing the fields had horses dogs sheep ducks and geese. The only negative I can think of is after having a bath there was no hot water until the next morning. Everything else was perfect.

Although the cottage is situated among a small cluster of cottages some distance from any real village it did not feel remote.. It was quite spacious and had a superb view through patio doors. In the ground below there were a pair of horses and 4 lovely dogs, and a never-ending display of bird life. We found plenty to do in the area, visiting the Pennine mountains, the lovely Forest of Bowland and by train to the north Morecambe Bay. It is close enough to Settle to take the famous train from Settle to Carlisle and at Silverdale, just beyond Carnforth, there is the RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve. We were blessed with superb weather which just added to a very enjoyable holiday. We ourselves are no longer able to do much walking but it would be an excellent base for walkers. There were no shops nearby and the closest pub was one and half miles away in Low Bentham. There was a welcome tray with half a dozen new-laid eggs to greet us. It proved an excellent holiday. Thank you.

The cottage was very comfortable and Sue was a great host.. She even left us some free range eggs and some lovely cake. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. There was even free entertainment from the animals in the field outside. We had geese, chickens, horses black swans and 3 beautiful crazy dogs. It was so quiet and peaceful with really dark skies at night, the stars were so easy to see, it was great! We will certainly be returning.

We adored our time in Ashbank Cottage. We took lovely walks and enjoyed the stunning countryside views. Our favourite part was the personal aspect of staying in a cottage and meeting the owner, rather than staying in a large impersonal hotel. There was a lovely collection of books and DVDs and we felt connected to all who had stayed there before.
