Snaptrip says

Wolfen Mill is consistently praised for its stunning setting, ideal for large groups seeking both communal and private spaces. The property's charm, cleanliness, and well-equipped facilities contribute to memorable stays. The picturesque location, comfortable rooms, and thoughtful touches, such as a hot tub, enhance the experience, although some minor issues with communal space sizes were noted.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests frequently commend the spotless condition of Wolfen Mill, highlighting the cleanliness of both the individual apartments and communal areas. The property's upkeep appears to be of a high standard.

The property's location in Cumbria & The Lake District is frequently described as beautiful and picturesque, with good access to local walks and amenities. The serene setting by a lake adds to the appeal, although accessibility for those with mobility issues to certain areas might be a concern.

Reviewers express satisfaction with the comfort of the accommodation, mentioning the comfortable beds and the convenience of having individual apartments. The provision of extra heaters during a cold spell was appreciated, indicating a comfortable stay regardless of the weather.

The facilities at Wolfen Mill, including the hot tub, outdoor seating, and well-equipped kitchens, receive high praise. Some guests found the communal kitchen space slightly tight for large groups, but overall, the facilities met the needs of guests.

While many reviews reflect positive experiences with the property's offerings and the hosts' helpfulness, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the standard amenities provided. Therefore, a score cannot be given for thoughtfulness in terms of gifts.

About this property

Wolfen Mill is a former water powered mill built in the 16th Century, set in one acre of fabulous grounds just a short distance from the Lancashire village of Chipping, an area renowned for its abundance of Gastro Pubs. Historically the mill made spindles and bobbins for the local spinning mills, closing production in the 1920’s. Completely renovated in 2018 the mill provides first class, award winning holiday accommodation, ideal for large groups looking to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful haven. The dam or millrace provides a beautiful wildlife haven and the views 0f 'Parlick Pike' provide a great backdrop to this wonderful holiday retreat, sadly the old water wheel is no longer present.

Providing spacious accommodation, the top floor sitting room offers the centrepiece of the building, with bi-fold doors opening out onto the decked area overlooking the mill dam, a wonderful place to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings and watch the sun go down. The ground floor dining room provides a great place for the group to get together, enjoy a few early drinks on the adjoining patio and garden area whilst the ‘chefs’ start getting together their culinary delights in the commercial kitchen. There are a further two kitchens available on this floor, one for each course perhaps or to allow a few more gourmet cooks their own working space. All the bedrooms are set up as separate suites providing guests with their own personal sitting areas, luxurious bedroom, kitchen and modern ensuite bathroom. Ideal for those wishing to spend a little time away from the main group to relax and unwind in their own luxurious space.

This outstanding property is a walker’s delight, surrounded by the stunning Bowland fells, the wildlife-rich landscapes and the Trough of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You have plenty of entertainment such as an LG high definition Freeview LCD television, Amazon and Netflix and a DVD player.

This wonderful property also caters for special events such as birthday celebrations, weddings and anniversaries to name but a few, with a dedicated dining room or marquee which can be set up in the courtyard.

You can explore the picturesque villages of Longridge, Garstang, Whalley and Waddington nearby, hosting a variety of local shops, tea rooms, gastro pubs and restaurants.

Enjoy a day trip to the Wild Boar Park, where you can feed and pet the animals or ramble along woodland paths. The kids can enjoy a tractor ride, run wild in the adventure play area or explore the tunnels in the hay barn.

Once you have explored the stunning landscapes of the Forest of Bowland by day, you can discover some of the darkest skies in England, an increasingly rare find in this crowded little country and a must do when visiting this region.

There is so much to offer from this fantastic base, a unique experience in the Trough of Bowland!

Situated in the heart of the Ribble Valley, the village of Chipping provides home to a church, a haunted Inn and reportedly one of the longest continually used shops in England, currently taking the form of a village shop and post office. There are award-winning restaurants and country hotels situated throughout the valley and annual events including a number of agricultural shows and day festivals of all types.

  • Michael

    The house and facilities had everything ( apart from large communal tv) we would love to stay again in the summer and be able to enjoy the excellent outside area.

  • Christine

    The property was excellent more equipment than we needed, clean comfortable. There was a main entertainment/dining room which we made full use of and the individual suites which all led off from that area were themselves well equipped and self sufficient. Lovely area, the views from the upstairs lounge of the lake were beautiful. Hot tub an appreciated extra, also a BBQ which in better weather would be well used. Would highly recommend.

  • Diane

    We stayed with a group of friends and would certainly recommend it. Lovely, comfortable property giving everyone their own space and good communal space for all getting together. Good walking and places of interest in the surrounding area. Marie and Michael were very helpful with our queries before we arrived.
