Vine Cottage Reviews

Leanne

The property was perfect. We stayed in alot of cottages each year and this one was very high in our opinion. It had every type of facility would need, the mini pool table and dart board were great fun, the cleanliness of property was amazing, hot tub robes, the size of the cottage was spacious, everything was amazing and could not fault it in anyway at all. Would defo recommend and would visit again.

Pamela

This is a beautiful, comfortable house, hosted by Karen and John we had a very enjoyable stay. From first arriving and being met by Karen we knew we were in for a treat. Large family room with kitchen adjoining was excellent for the seven of us plus large dog. Very calming restful decor, well equipped kitchen, helpful information book. Comfortable bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. Every area was immaculately clean, everything worked. Best house we've stayed in Thank you for the lovely welcome pack Karen, so thoughtful of you

Nicola

Vine Cottage is the most gorgeous property. This is our second visit and it couldnt feel more like home from home. The owners are so lovely and are on hand should you have any query. The property has everything you need to ensure a wonderful stay and for that, we cant wait to come back. Thank you Karen and John x

Vine Cottage is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in. Karen and John have thought Of everything you could need for a stay away from home and the place was faultlessly clean and tidy. The location was great with local walks on your doorstep and easy access to the Fylde coast and the hot tub in the back garden is an excellent addition to end your evenings. Would highly recommend and definitely go back if the opportunity arises.

A friendly greeting from John, Karen and Lucy on our arrival and shown around the house making sure we had all the information we needed. John and Karen were on hand throughout the week if we needed anything and checked we were ok after an unscheduled power cut in the village. Our daughter summed Vine Cottage up when she said it was the best we have stayed in yet and we take a lot of cottage holidays. The house is beautiful and impeccably clean with all the equipment youd ever need for a week away. The covered hot tub was a real bonus after days out and the cottage is handily located for the Fylde Coast and Southern Lakes whilst the Wyre Coast is on your doorstep. Take a lovely walk from the cottage along the coastal path to Knott End, grab some lunch and call in the local butchers and bakers then a direct bus 88 or 89 back to Pilling with the bus stop 200 yards from the cottage. We have never returned to the same cottage twice but we may make an exception with Vine Cottage

Karen and John have done a fabulous job with this cottage. The finish on the property is to a very high standard and is pristine throughout easily the cleanest we've ever stayed in!. Both Karen and John were super accommodating, ensuring all our needs were met. From adding small fences to the gates so that our small dog didn't escape to adjusting the heating when the weather became cooler. They have set a standard that will be extremely difficult to beat. Everything from a warm welcome on arrival, to a lovely hamper, fresh flowers, toiletries, hot tub even robes and flip flops! just everything in fact, you could possibly need. Thank you once again for a wonderful week in Pilling. We're already trying to plan our next visit, so you'll be hearing from us soon .

Vine Cottage revisited Having stayed at the cottage previously we thought that after a nearly a year Vine Cottage would have lost some of the Wow we first experienced. We couldnt have been further from the truth it is still immaculately presented and did indeed still give us Wow factor we first experienced. In fact, it is that clean you could be forgiven for thinking that no one had stayed between our last visit and this one! We go for the relaxation and that is something we definitely get at Vine Cottage, it is spacious, beautiful decorated, super comfortable beds, has everything you could ever need in the kitchen, and best of all is the jacuzzi that looks at over the countryside and has the echo of the church bells in the background just so relaxing and chilled. As ever Karen and John are exceptional and go out of the way to ensure you have a good time. John even put extra fences in to ensure our escape artist of a dog couldnt shoot off down the road. The welcome basket on arrival was a nice touch as were the flowers. All in all another super relaxing stay at a fantastic cottage, and looking forward to a return visit.

Arunie

Beautiful home! Luxury stay! Karen and John are fabulous hosts, warm and welcoming on arrival and very kind and thoughtful of them to provide such a generous hamper after a long drive there. Great facilities and a high standard of cleanliness provided throughout. Particularly the hot tub which is vey well maintained, a joy to use. All the extras you could think of are provided too. We look forward to our next visit to the vine cottage! Thank you so much

This is our second time in Vine Cottage and we enjoyed our stay even more this time. The owners accommodated all of our needs and were very patient with the three children in our party. Vine Cottage couldnt be more comfortable with 4 spatious bedrooms, super comfy beds, gorgeous bathrooms where I pampered myself in the luxurious bathtub. A fully fitted kitchen allowed us to have some nice meals together and the lounge was perfect to hang out and chill. Im hoping we get the opportunity to return to Vine Cottage soon!

Friendly hosts that go out of their way to ensure guests' needs are met. Super clean, newly renovatedgood quality property, with every amenity possible and a lot of thought put into ensuring a pleasant stay. Hot tub checked daily. If I could give more stars, I would because we've stayed in a dozen or more holiday rentals over the years and this was the best! Only regret that we didn't do a proper clean before leaving...Sykes sent an email request to do this while we were there, which I didn't read until home and we haven't been asked to do this historically. Thanks so much to the owners for their welcome and a special thanks from our pooch too!

A fantastically well equipped cottage with very friendly and accommodating owners. This all made for an extremely comfortable and relaxing stay. I cannot express enough how much we highly recommend Vine Cottage and we will return in the future. Thanks Karen and John for such a memorable stay.

If there were more stars I would tick them twice over. Lovely absolutely lovely. Welcome hamper on arrival. John and Karen were super friendly and helpful, just a txt away if we needed anything. Beautiful holiday home. We were a family of three generations and we were all very happy. Even had badminton and that was a real hit with our 5 year old grandson. The hot tub was a big hit especially after a tiring day relaxing. Fingers crossed we will be able to holiday at Vine Cottage again soon. Thankyou we all made some wonderful memories.

Alison

Lovely house everything you need provided and more. Great hosts. Would love to return.

This was our second stay at vine cottage and our experience was the same as our first stayamazing. Karen and John go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the cottage is just stunning. Would highly recommend vine cottage. Until next time.x

Fabulous cottage! Our first stay at Vine Cottage, and wont be the last. You can tell that the property has been lovingly restored by the owners, and was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed and more, with lots of extra touches. A comprehensive welcome guide was sent by the owners Karen and John prior to our stay, and we received a warm welcome on our arrival. If we had any issues, we could easily contact them as they live next door. We hope to be back again next June!

Darren

Absolutely outstanding property! And we have stayed in plenty over the last 20 years! Karen met us at the cottage, we were late due to traffic, so she waited for our online shopping to arrive! Really couldn't do enough. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed and more! You really won't be disappointed..... we will definitely be recommending and returning!

Carolyn

A lovely cottage the best we have stayed at so far and the hot tub is a good size, constant temperature, cleaned daily and not too chlorinated. Perfect. The property had everything you need and is very comfortable and immaculately clean. Karen and John live next door and are great hosts. Would definitely recommend and would look to return in the future.

Andrew

Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Karen and John were so welcoming and could not do anymore to help or offer advice on where to go etc, they really are wonderful people and hosts, the property was immaculate, and they have literally thought of everything to make your stay all the more pleasant, we will definitely be back and could not recommend Vine Cottage any higher, Thanks Karen and John!! Donna, Andy & of course Lady Lola with the very posh collar

Lesley

We had a wonderful week at Vine Cottage. Beautifully restored and equipped with everything that we could ever need for our stay. The cottage is furnished to a very high standard with comfort in mind. We were a party of 4 in a cottage that can sleep 7, but , with 7 there would still be plenty of space. We arrived to find a very generous and welcome hospitality pack and vase of my favourite roses. Nothing is too much trouble. The Hot Tub is under cover and spotless. Karen and John are wonderful hosts.

This is a 5 star accommodation with a 6 star service the hosts Karen John and family are lovely people on hand 247 and will do anything for you. The little extras mean so much when you are taking young disabled adults on holiday, we are looking forward to booking again in the future thank you so much for a wonderful weekend Kind regards Dave ArmitageHague Managing Director Cath ArmitageHague Care Director Louise Armitage Senior Support Worker Sara service user And of course a special message of thanks for her holiday treats from Holly our Disability Assistance Dog RainBow Of Life DNC Care Ltd

Great location, beautiful well maintained house. Friendly hosts with a great local pub that serves fantastic food. Having an electric plug in car charger would have been beneficial for us, especially as we'd travelled a long distance and we used our car for daily outings during our weeks stay.

This was the third time we have stayed at Vine Cottage in a little over 12 months and we enjoy it every time. Vine is a beautiful place to holiday at and John and Karen are excellent hosts. We hope to stay again soon. Paul, Gwen and Lulu the Boarder Terrier

Caroline

This is a 5 star property with lovely comfortable furnishings. We travelled with our two adult daughters and there is enough room for everyone, with a small self contained annex section giving more privacy if needed. There were lots of small touches made by the hosts Karen & John, including a welcome hamper, fresh flowers, and a lovely welcome upon arrival. Nothing has been forgotten about, there are robes and plastic glasses for the huge hot tub and wood for the log burner. This is the best equipped home we've stayed at and we've used Sykes and Airbnb extensively. Location wise you are in the countryside but close to towns for all the amenities needed. We had mixed weather but the cottage is cosy and so comfortable. 100 would recommend and will be back!

Karen & John were fantastic as was the property which was immaculate & very well equipped. We have stayed in many such properties over the past few years and Vine Cottage was up there with the best of them. You can tell this really is a loved family property with generations of history. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Natalie

We really enjoyed our stay at Vine cottage. The cottage is beautiful, very spacious & very well equipped. Karen & John are fantastic hosts, very welcoming & nothing was too much trouble. The welcome pack is a very nice touch & the bottle of beer left for my son for his 18th birthday was very thoughtful. We can't wait to come back.

Catherine

Absolutely perfect. The house had everything thing we needed and more couldnt think of anything that could have made it better! Well the weather

Angela

Property was amazing, finished to such a high standard, extremely clean and had everything you would want. The arrival basket with wine,crisps ect was a lovely touch. The hosts were very friendly and stated if we needed anything they were on hand, great communication from them before and throughout the stay. We cant wait to return, would highly recommend. Thank you.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the beautiful Vine Cottage and we certianly wanted to stay longer. Karen and John have thought of everything and are great hosts, going above and beyond. The Cottage is well equipped with the added touch of a fantastic welcome pack. The hot tub is perfectly positioned. We will certainly be back!

Absolutely amazing couldnt have ask for any more. Karen and John were great they thought of everything that you might need while on holiday. Would definitely recommend to anyone whos looking for a holiday. Would definitely go back one of the best holiday cottages i have ever stayed in

We must have searched a 100 properties before we came across this gem of a cottage, as soon as we saw the photographs we knew it had the WOW factor that we were looking for. As they say the proof is in the pudding and this cottage certainly didn't disappoint. It has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored throughout with real attention paid to what guests might need during their stay. The property is spacious, in pristine condition and spotless throughout. The Cottage also has a fantastic hot tub that is maintained daily and is located in an outbuilding which has a window that looks over the countryside very picturesque and just added to the chill time we were looking for. Superb log fire, which added to the whole cosiness of the property. Greeted by Karen and John, who gave us a really warm welcome and were on hand throughout the week should we need them and nothing was too much trouble brilliant hosts. Fantastic welcome pack on arrival and flowers too both of which were a real nice touch. Even the dog wasn't left out as there were treats for him too. We had a fantastic relaxing week at the Vine Cottage and hope to return again. If I could score the Cottage higher I would!

On walking into Vine Cottage you feel a huge sense of peace and calm. There is the most thoughtful Welcome Pack with delicious treats to greet you as well as a beautiful vase of fresh flowers. As you explore the cottage further it's clearly been lovingly and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. It is immaculate! The furnishings throughout are of an exceptionally high quality as are the toiletries that are again such a thoughtful touch from Karen. Never have we stayed in such an exceptional, well equipped property as it has everything and more than you could possibly wish for! Karen and John are such lovely, warm, welcoming people who will go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. We didn't want to leave!!

Externally traditional, internally impeccably restored and modernised, immaculate and with amazing attention to detail. Situated in a quiet village, the main noises are pink footed geese flying in formation overhead, and even the church bells seemed muted and did not disturb us. Relax!

The owners have taken a great deal time and effort in making this property home from home. Open plan layout is ideal for gathering however there is the bonus of a quiet room.

Denise

After staying here for a week on a family holiday in September 2023 I can highly recommend Vine Cottage. It is a beautiful spacious modern home but still retains the character of oldworld charm. Karen and John have done an amazing job in the refurbishment of what was originally Karens family home. Everything about it oozes quality and the kitchen is truly well equipped with everything you could need. The welcome basket and all the extra touches from fresh flowers to doggy treats was very much appreciated

Rachel

The cottage reached above and beyond our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and furnished, high specification on every aspect. The property owners were on hand to help with any query and check that all was running smoothly throughout our stay. Would recommend the accommodation and hope to return again for a second stay soon.

Catherine

This was our second stay at Vine Cottage and it was just as fabulous as our first. The cottage and facilities are second to none. A luxurious and comforting accommodation. The owners maintain an incredibly high standard. As before, we received a very warm welcome. Karen and John are fabulous hosts. We couldn't recommend Vine Cottage enough. Looking forward to planning our next visit

Glorious, relaxing holiday in the most well appointed property weve ever stayed in. The thought and care that has gone into the cottage is plain to see, you want for nothing! We will definitely return, perhaps in the cooler months so we can get the log burner going All the best to you all xx

We hired Vine Cottage as an extension to our house and a place near to the place where our son and his new wife were celebrating their wedding. Karen and John are wonderful hosts and were very accommodating if we needed anything. The hot tub was well used and well maintained. Once my family had gone home me and my husband spent the rest of the week there exploring Pilling, visiting the outdoor theatre in Lancaster and visiting the local places that we had driven past so many times. It was a very relaxing holiday even though we were only 9 minutes down the road!

Vine Cottage was a beautiful place to stay, so very well appointed with so much attention to detail. Karen and John are so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The hot tub was a hit with all the family, including our grandchildren. Would very highly recommend Vine Cottage.

This is a superb property and one of the best cottages we have stayed at. All you need for your stay is provided, including a lovely welcoming box on arrival. Karen and John are very attentive and within 2 hours of our arrival constructed a wire cover for the left gate to stop our small dog being able to get out. The garden is a very nice area to relax weather permitting
