"My family of 14 stayed here for a week with lots to keep them all entertained!! The hot tub / sauna and the cinema room was much used absolutely brilliant! To unwind here at this lovely house was a blessing especially after a day out visiting Ribchester town and lots of other venues as mentioned in Somerwoods guide. Stydd Gardens beautiful!! Tennis courts and the grounds outside was awesome too. The accommodation was awesome with a gorgeous main bedroom with two balconies (ours) 7 other bedrooms 5 with en-suite plus a main family bathroom. A beautiful glass floor in the hall that shows the downstairs entertainment areas where the snooker room cinema room and table tennis were much used by everyone for their fun and enjoyment. The kitchen was perfect for the size of our party lots of seating area plenty of room to all sit down and eat together. The sitting room had lots of comfy sofas where we all met to discuss how our day went or just to chill and catch-up and watch TV. The lovely owners have gone to great lengths to ensure that their guests are well cared for.The letting people are close by if you have any problems with your stay and are very prompt when help is needed. All in all we had a fabulous holiday thank-you Somerwood all of us will remember this holiday for a long time ??"

"We had a wonderful week here as part of a large family group. There is masses of accommodation over the top 2 floors, a lovely big kitchen and dining area, massive lounge with big squishy sofas, and games rooms downstairs which are great for rainy days. There's also a hot tub and sauna outside, perfect for relaxing in the evening. The owners /letting people were really friendly too, and very helpful. Lovely place to visit, we wholeheartedly recommend! "

"My family and I (party of 13) have just returned home after a week at this property. A really fantastic break. Situated in the Ribble Valley, this place has it all. Gorgeous setting; loads of space in and around the property; great features including tennis court, sauna, jacuzzi, bbq area with fire pit, full size snooker table, cinema room, table tennis table!!! We had five kids with us, aged 4 to 14 and they had a great time. You're in walkable distance from Ribchester village for pubs/shops and a maximum of 10 min drive from the beautiful Forest of Bowland but to be honest you could have a supermarket delivery and easily not move for a week!!! Would recommend and would love to return."

"This is a beautiful house in a great location and has been finished to a high standard. I do have a few small quibbles though: With so many people moving about in the house there was a lot of unintentional door slamming and the sound carried straight up the stair well meaning that anyone in bed was disturbed by the noise. Some sort of dampers on the doors would alleviate this. The gas bottle on the (rather small) barbecue ran out half way through a barbecue and there was no spare gas bottle. Although there was a good selection of kitchen utensils they were generally of a fairly cheap nature and there was not a single properly sharp knife. We were happy to smoke outdoors but a covered area (possibly with a heat lamp) would have been nice to save us from the rain and cold. It would have been nice to have had logs already there for the fire pit rather than having to go out searching for somewhere to buy them. The wi-fi definitely needs a booster, or the router needs moving to a more central location. These few things aside I would have no hesitation in recommending Somerwood to anyone and will almost certainly be making a return trip. Ian Russell (guest)"

"We stayed here at the beginning of June for our twin sons 30th birthday. It was a mixed bag of quests of varying ages of friends and family. The house can sleep 16 people but the twin room off the kitchen has no facilities and would have to use the downstairs loo and shower upstairs in the family bathroom. This is a pity as the room is very large and would have room for an en- suite. That said all the bedrooms are lovely and fresh with good quality towels and two white dressing gowns per room which is a nice touch as they were all used for the hot tub and sauna. The kitchen is very large and enough room for everyone to sit and eat. The only downside is the fridge freezer , the freezer is very small and we could not get any of the frozen items we ordered into it. If this house is meant to house 16 people then a separate freezer is needed. The other issue is bins for rubbish the bins are very small and only one of each the main rubbish bin was already full from the previous people and only emptied every other week. Having had a big party we had a lot of food waste in four bin liners in the house which had to be the warmest week of the year. We managed to get these collected on the Wednesday but the bottles and cans of which we had many we're not collected so the next occupants would have the same problem. So,two bins of each colour would really make a difference. The downstairs cinema room was great with a full size snooker table and table tennis so if the weather is not so good there is something to do. The biggest hit was the hot tub and sauna everyone enjoyed those. The outside space is quiet large and my two year old grandson loved the cows in the the field at the back especially when they would come down to the fence near the kitchen it made his day. There is a fire pit near the hot tub with seating around and two picnic tables but it would have been nice just to have a few more comfortable chairs so you could seat nearer the house and be able to move in or out of the sun. The house has beautiful views and many good restaurants and pubs in the area we did a couple of good walks from the house which took in some of those views. Would we go again yes we would it does have a few niggles but this house is great for a large group of people and we all had a great time."
