Villa vacation rentals in Darwen

host is helpful and responsive. place is clean and spacious. quiet and peaceful.

Had a couple of days away to destress after Christmas. We only live 10 minutes drive away but it felt like we were far,far away. Lovely property overlooking a lake. It was cold and foggy one of the days but we had lovely walks around the lakes. The host was great. Had contact and they were fast and helpful. Hoping to make this an annual event every January now. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful property.

What a home. We had the most amazing Christmas weekend as a family of 12 grandparents down to great grandchildren. Thank you so much x

Lovely place. Spotlessly clean. Super host.

Great safe location

Mr. Rocky was very responsive. We had a friendly host who is always keen to give clear instructions. The villa was neat and clean and exactly matches with the photos based on the listing. The villa is located in a peaceful area. I recommend this villa for those who want to enjoy a peaceful environment and homely feeling.

The accommodation was perfect for our needs with an excellent choice of pubs and shops nearby. It was very clean and the provision of individual towels was a nice touch. Hamid was very clear and timely with his notifications, and we would definitely stay here again.

It is in a lovely location, great views of the Malvern Hills, lots of good walks close by. Many good eating places not too far away. The Cow Shed is well equipped, with an excellent bathroom and shower, comfortable living area. The kitchen is a bit smaller than we would have liked, but it all worked really well. Nigel was very attentive, making sure we were comfortable. Our elderly spaniel enjoyed the space around and got on well with the two really friendly terrier residents! Will definitely revisit.

A wonderful stay at Sarah’s house! We had such a great time and the house was perfect for what we wanted. The grounds are stunning and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay! Thanks again for a great weekend!

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.

Such a fabulous place to stay, the welcome package was a lovely touch and the place was lovely and clean. Had an amazing time would highly recommend staying!

Man’s communications were excellent and the stay was exactly what we were looking for. Given the location the price was extremely reasonable for the size of the property. Mak was even kind enough to gift desert which was delicious!

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!

Lovely open plan living space with beautiful outlook across the lake. Plenty of room (esp. bathrooms) for a busy family. Set in well designed grounds with excellent facilities

Lovely house - was perfect for a medium-sized group (8 adults and a few under-5s). The views over the balconies are lovely and crucially the balconies are west / southwest facing, meaning we got lots of sunshine unlike the properties on the other side of the lake. It was end of Feb 2025 and we were happily walking around in t-shirts and making full use of the hot tub! Overall it's a lovely house with great sized bedroom, nice bathrooms with showers etc. We had a private chef cater dinner one evening and he had plenty of space (and we had more than enough space at the table for the adults). Jan kindly left us a bottle of wine too which we put to good use. Around the lake there are walks you can do, a spa (access to which is included as part of the stay) which worked great with the kids (who loved the main swimming pool), a playground, tennis courts etc. Overall would highly recommend.

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 had such a fabulous weekend at Otter's Holt celebrating my brother's 50th. The house is beautiful with wonderful views and extremely well appointed -we had everything we needed. Lorraine was very responsive when we had some problems that we needed help with. We all loved the outdoor pools at the spa and the kids enjoyed hiring canoes to paddle across Howell's Mere. We hope to visit again.

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 place matched and exceeded the description and photos. It was exceptionally clean upon our arrival and well decorated. There was an abundance of cutlery, utensils, dinnerware, etc. Management company were extremely communicative before and through-out. Would 100% recommend this house for future traveler's.

Can’t fault it. Best place we stayed so far. Lucy was very friendly but also gave us space, we felt like home. Will definitely go back!!
