Meadow Cottage at Hill Top Farm is consistently praised for its cleanliness, stunning location, and comfort. Guests are charmed by the thoughtful touches from the hosts and the high-quality facilities. The panoramic views and peaceful setting make it a highly recommended stay, with many planning to return.
Reviewers unanimously commend the cottage for its exceptional cleanliness, noting it as well-maintained and spotless, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay.
The property's location is highly praised for its convenience, quietness, and the beautiful views it offers. Its proximity to local amenities and scenic walks adds to its appeal, although the distance to the lakes was slightly underestimated by one guest.
Guests find the cottage to be very comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and high-quality linen. There is a minor note regarding the comfort of the sofas, but overall, the comfort level is rated very highly.
The facilities are described as first-class, with modern fixtures and a well-equipped kitchen. One guest suggested a larger saucepan would be beneficial, but this is a minor point in the context of otherwise glowing feedback.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the welcome pack and fresh flowers, which are greatly appreciated by guests. While these gestures are highly valued, it is noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed.
Nestled in the courtyard of Hill Top Farm behind secure electric gates and a 200yd tree lined drive, Meadow Cottage offers a luxurious rural hideaway with all the comforts of home. Offering a stunning 180° panorama across farms, fields and rolling fells - the views stretch as far as the Irish Sea, North Wales Hills, Fylde Coast, Blackpool Tower, (see the illuminations in November) Morecambe Bay, Beacon Fell, Parlick Fell, Chipping and Dunsop Bridge. On certain days, one can even see The Isle of Man! Meadow Cottage offers truly luxurious accommodation for all types of guests with two ground floor king size bedrooms. There is plenty of flexibility on offer as both of the bedrooms offer zip and link king sized double or twin beds - with an additional ‘roll-out’ 3ft guest bed, thereby converting Bedroom 1 into a ‘family’ room. Bedroom 2 boasts a totally self-contained suite with modern en-suite shower room as well as there being a separate wet room, shower room for Bedroom 1. The property is fully flexible and ideal for all types of guests such as families with children aged 5 and above, groups of friends, couples seeking a romantic getaway, guests attending weddings and celebrations, business travellers and visiting relatives. With stylish and contemporary furnishings and oak floors throughout, Meadow Cottage is truly ‘Green’ – heated by latest Scandinavian ‘geo thermal’ ground source heating technology with underfloor heating throughout and individual room ‘smart’ thermostats. Additional hot water is provided by roof solar water heating panels, but there is also a log burning stove for those nights where only a cosy real fire will do. A welcome grocery pack, toiletries, fire logs, broadband Wi-Fi, Smart TV’s with Freesat, Netflix, YouTube and Spotify are all included in the rental charge. Meadow Cottage is highly suitable for guests with limited mobility; whilst not having full disabled facilities, there is an access ramp from the car park, all accommodation in the main cottage is level ground floor, the bathroom has an outward opening extra-wide access door, a raised height WC and a totally open wet room shower facility where a sit down shower could be taken – (using a suitable stool provided on request.) With a wide range of footpaths and cycle routes immediately nearby, it provides the ideal base for an activity holiday. However, the village of Longridge is only 1 mile away, within easy walking distance and offers opportunities for relaxation in the numerous inns and restaurants with no worries about driving. The main shopping centres of Blackburn and Preston are only 7 miles drive and the internationally famous Trafford Centre Shopping Mall can be reached with a 45-minute motorway drive. The coastal tourist resorts of Blackpool and Morecambe are both within an easy drive and the beautiful Lake District is an easy day excursion.
Longridge is situated 8 miles north-east of the city of Preston, at the western end of Longridge Fell, above the River Ribble. The town holds a portfolio of gift shops, cafes, antiques and art studios together with a cinema, plus numerous food outlets from takeaways to gastro pubs. The Forest of Bowland (aonb) shows off an expanse of gentle and tidy lowlands criss-crossed with dry stone walls and dotted with picturesque farms and villages. The area sports numerous agricultural shows, art exhibitions and day festivals of all sorts throughout the summer and is within reach of the Lancaster canal and city, Blackpool and the Lake District, so there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.

We had a wonderful time at Meadow Cottage, which has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are lots of interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area, even for oldies like us who no longer go on long hikes. One of our party relies on his zimmer frame and that was not a problem at all, everything easily accessible. We would definitely like to return some day. The hosts could not have been more discreetly friendly and helpful - thank you!
Leslie
Looking out at the lovely view we felt all our stress draining away, along with that the cottage itself is lovely, its clean and comfortable, the beds are super comfy, and what a generous welcome pack, there are lots of towns and villages within easy reach, and thank you to Roger and Lesley for being the perfect hosts.
