Lancashire self catering holiday cottages

Orchard Cottages, provides four luxury self catering holiday cottages for rent, which are hidden away under the trees in a quiet corner of the picturesque Ribble Valley village of Waddington, Lancashire, UK. The traditionally English styled country cottages are individually designed and provide luxury accommodation, tastefully furnished with modern living in mind. There is everything you might need to make it your perfect home from home.

The cottages are for rent throughout the year, from getaway relaxing week-end breaks of three nights to self indulgent luxury holidays of a week or longer. All four luxury cottages provide spacious accommodation; Apple, Plum, Pear and Cherry tree cottages have the ability to accommodate six adults very comfortably. The accommodation provides for families, friends or couples wishing to experience comfort in private seclusion, though readily accessible to natural beauty of the Trough of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales. The holiday cottages are recognised and approved by Visit Britain as providing five star luxury accommodation.

The uniquely appointed holiday cottages are private but readily accessible to the many amenities that the Ribble Valley offers, good country pubs and personally recommended fine dinning. There are many leisure and recreational opportunities available within the area such as horse riding, golf, shooting, walking, four wheel driving, and falconry and within five minutes of the market town of Clitheroe. There are many historical attractions such as Skipton and Clitheroe castles and museums, with the excellent shopping, theatre and night live of Manchester only a short train or car journey away.

This suit yourself style of holidaying, is provided by Orchard Cottages, as every personal need is considered in the lay out of the cottages, log burning stoves give a warm and relaxing feeling, while AGA's in Pear and Apple tree Cottages facilitate those who enjoy traditional cooking.

Waddington is just one of many beautiful villages in the Ribble Valley, but it is one of the best. Its babbling brook, ancient church and celebrated Coronation Gardens have earned the village the title of 'Best Kept Village in Lancashire' on many occasions and taken it to the top of the picture postcard sales league!

But that is only half the story. With three pubs, two churches, a post office, a village cricket field, bowling green, and village school, Waddington is the very model of a thriving rural community.

Waddington sits very comfortably in the lower reaches of the Forest of Bowland area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a landscape of stunning scenery and changing moods, wild heather moorlands criss-crossed by deep, lush river valleys and dotted with charming unspoilt villages.

Whether it's walking, fishing, cycling, mountain biking, bird watching, shooting or simply relaxing there are fewer places to be. The Forest of Bowland is one of Mother Nature's most beautiful and best equipped playgrounds.

The historic market town of Clitheroe is just a mile and a half away. Dominated by its castle and somewhat battered Norman Keep the town has somehow managed to avoid the worst ravages of commercial development and maintained a truly unique atmosphere. There are lots of specialist shops with interesting names that can cater to almost every whim.

Welcome to the Ribble Valley - a rural haven of spectacular scenery the majority of which is known as the Forest of Bowland, the eleventh largest of the 40 designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in England and Wales. This is a special place full of mystery and legend, stunning countryside and diverse natural habitats.

If your ideal holiday involves the chance to escape the bustle of modern day living, indulge in culinary delights and relax in high quality surroundings, you will not be disappointed.

You won't find traffic jams here (or very few traffic lights for that matter). Our quiet country lanes make exploration by car a real pleasure and with country inns, market towns and historic sites in abundance, you can take your time to enjoy many an excursion.

In the Ribble Valley you can find just the sort of break you want and we will try to provide all the information you need to plan your ideal trip.
