About Vine Cottage

Resting in Lancashireâ€™s rolling countryside in the heart of the village of Pilling, is the idyllic Vine Cottage. Situated next to the stunning village church, this wonderful holiday home benefits from off-road parking for four cars, a beautiful rear garden with lawn, patio, furniture, under cover hot tub and four well-appointed bedrooms each fitted with Smart TVs; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to experience the wonders of both the coast and countryside in the North West. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the open-plan living space where you can rustle up tasty meals in the fully-equipped kitchen which can then be enjoyed, together, around the spacious dining table. If the sun is shining, why not step outside to delight in an alfresco affair upon the patio furniture before indulging in a soothing soak in the bubbling undercover hot tub, ideal for watching the stars fill the sky whatever the weather! Spend colder evenings snuggled up in front of the Smart TV and crackling woodburning stove in the sitting room before washing off the dayâ€™s adventures in either the ground-floor shower room or the bathroom. Choose between four sumptuous bedrooms to catch up on some well-earned sleep, there is a super-king size (zip/link), a king size with en-suite shower room, a ground-floor king-size and a single. If you can tear yourself away from this stunning dwelling, head into Stake Pool where you can pick up all your self-catering essentials and enjoy a much-needed break from the kitchen with food and drink at the Elletson Arms or travel to Knott End-on-Sea to test your swing at the golf club which lies alongside the River Wyre before celebrating your wins at The Bourne Arms. Take a day trip to the city of Lancaster to marvel at its medieval castle, the impressive cathedral with stunning architecture or tour Lancaster City Museum and Lancaster Maritime Museum. The city is home to Williamson Park, a vast area filled with woodland, play areas, butterfly house and nature reserve. Drive a little further to visit the seaside town of Morecambe, enjoying the Lake District views whilst strolling the promenade. Those seeking to experience more of the great outdoors can take a scenic drive to the Trough of Bowland a popular rambling and cycling location, or to the Lake District National Park to visit idyllic lake towns like Windermere and Ambleside famous for their watersports and the walks and trails surrounding them. The seaside resort of Blackpool is easy to reach, where you will find attractions such as Blackpool Tower, The Opera House and the world-famous Pleasure Beach and Illuminations. All this and more awaits at Vine Cottage.

Sophie

Our stay was lovely and we felt very looked after by Karen and John. They were very knowledgable about places to go in the area and checked up on us by message to make sure everything was ok each morning. Karen also provided a lovely spa session which as a group of 7 girl students, we thoroughly enjoyed! The house was in great condition with lots of resources and had everything we needed to cook all 3 nights. We really enjoyed the hot tub as well as using the outside furniture with the lovely weather. I would highly recommend staying at vine cottage!

Valerie

Had a lovely week at Vine cottage pilling. The cottage is beautiful spotlessly clean and everything you need for your home from home stay. It was a bonus for me to have a downstairs bedroom and shower room. The garden is nice for sitting out and the hot tub was a big hit with the family especially the boys the view is so lovely.Karen and John the owners live next door and they are very welcoming and on hand for anything you need to know they clean the hot tub everyday I would highly recommend it . I would also like to say that I would give a higher rating if I could. Thank you vine cottage Karen and John hope to come back to celebrate another birthday or just to relax. The welton family x

Emanuela

This property was unreal! Karen really paid attention to the extra details required of a stay. We loved the fact it was her old family home and she had renovated it to the modern day, with the traditional features still present. Everything you could ever need was there for us and Karen was so accommodating and relaxed. I think she panicked when we told her it was a hen party lol but we were the classy kind of hen party and remained respectful to Karen and her home. The hot tub was amazing and the surrounding village was so cute too. A little out in the sticks and cell service is poor, but once you've stocked up on supplies and connected to the WIFI in the cottage the world is reset again! Fab stay, cannot recommend this place enough. I cant wait to have the opportunity to return in the future! Thanks again

Sandra

Everything was excellent. We had fabulous weather so may be a couple of sun loungers for the grass area for relaxing in the unusually good British weather.

Katarzyna

One of the best holiday homes we have used , and very friendly hosts , cannot fault in anyway

Spotlessly clean, friendly hosts, short drive to lovely walks and other activities. Highly recommend.

Our 2nd visit and we will be back again Another relaxing visit this time for a week. The cottage is lovely, well equipped and furnished to a very high standard with lots if extras. Karen & John are fantastic owners and go above and beyond. The hot tub is a huge plus and maintained daily. The hot tub plus sitting on the sofa in the dining area with the bifold doors open reading a book, listening to the birds and the church bells were a daily highlight. Lots of places to go to if you choose to plus thr local buses are on the doorstep. Thank you for a lovely stay again.

Beautiful cottage, everything you need has been thought of, stunning renovation. .. Plus the owners Karen & John couldn't do enough for you. Thoroughly recommended !

Stunning modern cottage that ticks each and every box, honestly it's off the page and we have stayed at a lot of places. It has everything. Fantastic open plan living, clearly a lot of thought has gone into the project, perfect for a family break. Very clean, it feels brand new. Very comfortable throughout, secure parking and lovely back garden area with large hot tub. The owners are very friendly and helpful. 11 out of 10, book, do not delay

Vine cottage is an amazing house , everything you ever may need is there , the ... Vine cottage is an amazing house , everything you ever may need is there , the owners Karen & John totally go above and beyond to make your stay perfect nothing is too much trouble , will definatly be returning

We loved our stay here. The property is beautifully done, spotlessly clean and has everything youd need for a great stay! Well equipped with loads of cups, glasses, pans etc so you can cater easily, bathrobes for the v clean hot tub, loads of little touches. The hosts are so lovely and accommodating. We definitely plan to return!

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

Dale Elizabeth

We all loved the holiday home. It has everything you could need for your stay, including a hot tub! Comfortable beds and sofas. Kitchen also has all you need. Great area to explore nearby

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.
