Villa vacation rentals in Darwen

My family and I (7 adults & 1 child) recently stayed at ‘The Cottage’ and we all agreed that it was a wonderful holiday. The house is beautiful, very spacious, spotlessly clean and was well equipped for all of our needs. The hub is definitely the kitchen, we enjoyed playing family board games around the dining table. The gardens are amazing we loved watching wild rabbits, squirrels and cows everyday. It was nice to see home grown vegetables and a herb garden too. Our grandson enjoyed playing football with his dad in the garden, jumping on the trampoline and feeding the fish. It is ideally located for travelling into York and not far from the designer outlet. Our group ranged in age from 2yrs to 78yrs and there was something for everyone to do at the house. We all really needed a family break due to recent illness and enjoyed spending time together making lovely memories. We hope to be able to stay again and thank both Neil and Adrienne for sharing their beautiful home with us.

owner is helpful n responsive. place is clean and have all amenities. we love the space and would strongly recommend to others.

I give this place 5* I did not want to go home ;-( Myself and my sisters were very happy here. I found the place to be bigger than i imagined from the pics" The VIEW is amazing. I mean, We did have amazing weather. Eating outside on the patio watching the water skiing.. Beautiful nature. Duck and duckings visited us every day.. The hosts were VERY VERY Helpful.. With anything we needed help with. Swift and helpful.. Peacful surroundings. And dog friendly! The dogs loved it.. Comfy beds. I really can not find fault.. Thankyou very much.....

Lovely place. Spotlessly clean. Super host.

We enjoyed our stay at Monika’s Airbnb. The kitchen, dining and lounge areas were particularly inviting. Everything was very clean and it was a very homey atmosphere. Monika left us some supplies which we appreciated as well. Getting in was trouble free due to the clear instructions. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Great house, bigger and better than pictures. We loved the location as easy to get into town driving or uber and lovely parks close by for walks and nearby shops for food etc. everything in the house was spot on with massive master bedroom with extremely comfy bed! Highly recommend this place and look forward to another visit.

Great house really comfortable love staying here think it’s the 3rd time we’ve stayed and will be staying again and what a great Company staycassa is always look after you

The house was exactly what we needed. Clean and tidy. The rooms were great. Bathrooms were great. There 4 men working away and had no complaints from them .Will be staying again in about a months time due to work commitments. Recommend a great place to stay.

We had a wonderful group stay at Anthony’s beautiful home. It is a unique property, rich in history and stunning interiors. The large garden was lovely to relax in and we enjoyed several local walks. The house is warm, clean, spacious and very comfortable. Anthony was kind and responsive from the start and could not do enough to help. We would recommend this property highly.

Nice big house in lovely neighbourhood. Sarbjit was quick to respond to any messages very accommodating with a later checkout. The drinks and snacks left for us were a nice touch.

Oldbury Barn is in a lovely location in the countryside with great views (though tricky to find, so the 'what3words' helped a lot!). The house was nicely presented and lovely and clean. Plenty of pots, pans, mugs (!) utensils etc for a large family group. The open plan nature of the kitchen/diner/lounge is great for a multi generational family gathering like ours, as you are always all together in one huge room. However, note that its a tiled floor and there isn't much in the way of soft furnishings so noise echoes around a bit and can be heard from all bedrooms - but this is only a problem if you have very young kids going to bed early or getting up early! The 2 ground floor bedrooms are large and with lots of storage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are small with very low ceilings and little storage - fine for kids but we were were 7 adults and one toddler, so that didnt work brilliantly for us . The "slight height restriction" in the description is quite an understatement!!

Warm, cosy and comfortable beds. Easy parking. A great stay. 10am check out is very early. Especially when check in isn't until 4pm. Communication unclear: Jake said he would send me check in details 2 days before my check in date but I had to message him on the day and then I was half way through a 6 hour journey towards the accommodation when Jake rang me and told me it was a "legal requirement" that I immediately send him my address, photo I.D and a current photo. If I didn't he wouldn't send me access details to the accommodation. He sent me an external link and I had to input personal details. He said it was clear in the check in instructions that this would happen but it wasn't: the check in instructions say "we would love some additional information" so I thought it was optional because Air BnB because they already have all of these details, that's why I use this app.

We were a group of 8 friends spending a long week-end to play golf in the Southport area. The house was fantastic, a lot of space for 8 people, great equipment, super clean. The location was absolutely perfect for us with fantastic golf courses (Hillside & Royal Birkdale within 15 minutes drive, Formby within walking distance...) nearby. There are shops and restaurant nearby. The communication, check-in & check-out and interaction with Debs were really easy. I can only highly recommand this house, superbe!

I have to come clean - I am an enthusiast of Penarth, the architecture of the town, the community feel, and everything about the place. Sarah's place, being among the oldest houses in the town, was a must for all the things I was looking for. Sarah herself is friendly and has clearly put a lot of herself into the house. My journey time to Penarth could have been subject to delays, being more than 500 miles... but we had good communication and met up without difficulty at the house. All in all, the house was cosy and well appointed. It also was a great base for strolling into Penarth Town centre and even, across the barrage, to Butetown and even Cardiff. I would thoroughly recommend Sara's house for your stay.

This was honestly the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in, it is truly incredible and I can’t stress enough how much the pictures don’t do it justice - but it makes it all the more magical when you arrive. We spent nearly an hour just exploring the gardens, we spent a whole day on the boat with friendly dragonflies. Truly in love and will be back! Thankyou Thomas!

We stayed here for a weekend away as a group of school mates all turning 30. The property was the perfect base for us, providing us with the best possible experience. We’re an active, activity based bunch and this stay had something for everyone. Multiple activities, from the pool table, darts board, table tennis, air hockey, and yes the Pool and Sauna. Many of my friends couldn’t believe just what we had found for this stay. Private use of the pool is a great bonus. All beds were made, fresh linens and towels provided. We used the kitchen to cook our breakfast each morning. There’s ample parking for 3-4 vehicles inside and plenty on street right next to the property, which is a quiet street so not a stress. Whilst the decor is aged, we are not particular on this and found it added to the charm. Plenty of beds, bathrooms and spots to relax. We would stay again! The host was fantastic in communication and response to questions posed and made the whole process easy.

We didn’t actually stay in the house we booked due to a fault with the heating. But the communication from the hosts was excellent and they sorted us an alternative very quickly and we couldn’t fault anything. Had the perfect weekend for a family celebration.

A very comfortable clean spacious place to stay with full range of facilities and wonderful hot tub. A great scenic outlook over the lake and easy walking access to the spa close by.

The accommodation was perfect for our family of 9, plenty of space, it was well appointed and there was a good choice of cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. Although we didn’t use the outside space much due to the weather the hot tub was great. The hosts were very responsive and sorted out a couple of minor issues swiftly.

Property was excellent and just what we needed. Excellent standard, great location and had everything we needed for a lovely weekend. Communication was excellent and the early check in was a real bonus and allowed us to make the most of our weekend. Was nice to meet Jamie at the property who helped us with any questions . would thoroughly recommend this property.

We had such a lovely stay. The house is better than the pictures and the pool is amazing our kids really enjoyed it!

This is second time we’ve stayed on Lower Mill Estate as it has great onsite facilities, so nice not to go too far with the little ones. We did the Cotswold Wildlife Park, it is a 30 minute drive but well worth it. Also Emerald Thai in Cirencester was delicious. The house itself had everything as described on the listing, lovely views over the lake and was enough space downstairs for 10 adults and 4 little ones. Two of the double rooms are on smaller side so wouldn’t recommend if you need space for a few travel cots. On the first morning a few of us had cold showers as hot water wasn’t on, but we figured it out waited half an hour and all was ok. We reported this along with one of double bed had broken slats which wasn’t ideal, but appreciate nothing could be done at the time. The contact was very apologetic about this and it didn’t hinder our stay. Thank you
