"We stayed here for 10 days with our 1-year-old in June 2012. The barn is beautiful - modern and spacious, warm and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and fabulous garden. Our toddler loved running around in the open-plan space, and the owners kindly loaned us a cot and high chair. Unfortunately we only enjoyed 2 days in the garden due to wet weather. Towels and bed linen were provided, but not changed during our stay. There was a little noise from the farm and the road, and occasional noise from the owners, who live upstairs, but mainly it was very peaceful. There are excellent views of the local peaks and surrounding fields. We found it to be very practical accommodation with a toddler (so long as we guarded the steps), and so nice and comfortable that we didn't mind staying in when our young one needed to nap, or it was too wet to venture outdoors. Ingleton is about 1 mile away with some lovely local shops and pubs (the Wheatsheaf has a lovely beer garden), and a Co-op. The river runs through the town, under the viaduct and you can easily get to the Waterfalls Walk. There is a great children's playground and a market on Fridays. We also enjoyed visiting the local towns of Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale. Settle has a nice swimming pool and soft plan barn, which were excellent in the wet weather. We visited Docker Park Farm which has animals, play areas and a great cafe. The wet weather did dampen our stay somewhat, but the high standard and comfort of Kirksteads Barn provided the haven we needed and I would recommend it as excellent self-catering accommodation."

"Be prepared to say WOW just as we did when you arrive at Kirksteads Barn. It is a gorgeous property surrounded by beautiful views. Open the French doors into the main living area and you are in a beautiful, light airy space with comfortable sofas and a lovely kitchen & dining area. Modern yet traditional it is decorated in a soft neutral colour scheme. The kitchen is very well equipped with washer, dryer and dishwasher as well as the usual appliances. Two steps up from the living area are the bedrooms and bathroom. Again lovely and comfortable with loads of wardrobe space. Lovely bathroom with the most amazingly powerful shower. Lovely soft towels and bright modern duvet covers and curtains. The views from the property are amazing especially the sunsets. Loads to do in the area, the barn is in easy reach of the Lakes, the Dales, Blackpool and Lancaster this area is perfect for sightseeing and walking alike. We would not hesitate to recommend Kirksteads Barn to anybody, truly superb accommodation."

"We chose Pilling because it is close to Little Eccleston where we have friends; otherwise, Pilling itself hasn't a great deal going for it as a holiday destination. However, Willow Cottage is very pretty, cosy and well appointed. As we have two dogs we were pleased that the pleasant little garden was dog proof and that there was a conservatory where they could sleep at night. Our only very minor niggles were that we found the bed very hard (OK, a personal preference) and it would have been nice to have had a towel rail in the bathroom (we ended up hanging them over the banisters outside the bathroom door). We were extremely fortunate with the weather and we had a lovely week exploring The Lakes, Yorkshire Dales & Forest of Bowland, all within easy striking distance."

"We had a very pleased to time at the cottage. It was clean and tidy when we arrived. The area was very nice, quite quiet and the people around where very friendly. The cottage was rather smaller then appeared in pictures however was more then adequate. We would recommend this to couples who would like a romantic getaway however if you have a young child (as we do) then you will find yourself quite cramped bur still workable. Located in a great location only 40 minute drive from blackpool and 25-30 mins from Cleveleys and fleet wood."
