Great ace to stay in lovely Rbble Valley
Lovely house with everything provided you could need, even binoculars to enjoy the wonderful wildlife and fantastic views. 10 minute walk to local village with pub and very good cafe.

An absolute gem of a cottage, we had the perfect break here.
This bungalow/cottage is an absolute gem, we were surrounded by fields full of sheep and cattle. Magnificent views from every window and the garden & it's decking. Far enough away from the road to get complete peace but close enough to walk to the local shop & pub in the pretty village of Sabden.
The bungalow was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and had everything you could need, including lots of information available about walks, cycle routes and all amenities. The owners were very welcoming, helpful and friendly, the welcome gifts they gave us were a lovely surprise and deliciously local.
The only down side was having to leave, but we will definitely be returning.

Amazing place!
I had a fantastic stay at Cobden View. The cottage is in a beautiful, scenic location with views of the rolling hillsides and woodland from every window. It was spotlessly clean, very well appointed, and the welcoming hosts have thought of everything you might need for a relaxing stay. Highly recommended.

Idyllic
Well, what a welcome. Wonderful home made scones with jam, fresh farm eggs and the most amazing doggie welcome pack we've ever seen! The cottage was immaculate and every need was catered for, a real holiday find! We enjoyed a lovely friendly welcome each day from genuine people on a busy working farm. The surroundings and views were so relaxing and tranquil with lots to do and explore locally. Lots of nice places to eat and drink nearby all with a warm welcome. We would certainly enjoy this hospitality again. Thank you so much to Maggie and family.

A gem
What a find! A remarkably spacious, fully equipped cottage in an idyllic position on high ground above the farmhouse with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Maggie could not have been more helpful and was the hostess with the mostest! It really was a week to remember.

We absolutely love it when our visitors enjoy their stay at Cobden View - and beautiful Sabden valley in the glorious Forest of Bowland (we aren't a bit biased, of course!). So we're delighted that your first-time holiday in this lovely part of England went well. Thank you for taking time to write a review. Best wishes to you both, from Maggie and John.

Another perfect stay at Cobden
This is our fourth stay at Cobden View cottage and it certainly won’t be our last – we’ve already booked again for next year.
Maggie, John and Missy are perfect hosts and are always on hand should you need anything. You are greeted with home baked scones, jam and freshly laid farm eggs.
The cottage is a real home from home with everything you need (and more). The views are spectacular and we love the fact that you are staying on a working farm.
We have noted that some reviewers have mentioned the approach road to the cottage. We have a normal hatchback car and have never had any difficulties in driving the short approach road. Just drive a little slower and take in the beautiful scenery as you go being mindful of any inquisitive sheep (it is a working farm remember).
The cottage is ideally situated in the beautiful village of Sabden. If walking is your thing then there are lots of walks direct from the cottage – there is a folder in the living room of the cottage with lots of route maps and walking books for you to read and borrow.
Outside the back of the cottage is a lovely decking area with table, chairs and bbq, the perfect place to relax on sunny evenings with a stunning view of Pendle Hill. You can even see Pendle Hill from both the fantastically equipped kitchen and living room – who needs a tv with that for a view?
Clitheroe, Dunsop Bridge, Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales are all within easy reach should you wish to venture a little further.
The cottage is also dog friendly which is a great bonus. Our Jack Russell absolutely loves staying here – this year, as we drove up to approach road to the cottage, she started to cry with excitement.
We cannot recommend Cobden View Cottage enough. We absolutely love this place – shame we have to share it.

Not good
There is a long farm track to the cottage that is not suitable for normal cars.washing machine not working correctly.tv wiring iffy. Grass not cut dog poo litter the back barbcue had dirty nappies on it. Fire exit blocked. very low hot water pressure which probably causes the shower to not work correctly.

Fantastic family rental
My family of four from Canada had a wonderful stay at Cobden view in July.
It was a perfect base for our travels around the North to visit family and friends; well appointed, quiet, clean & comfortable. I would recommend to anyone.
Maggie was a fantastic host, the fresh eggs and scones on arrival were a nice touch, and she went out of her way to make sure we found our way for a late arrival on our first night.
A perfect location for those who prefer to get away from it all, and only a 15 minute walk into the village.

About the neighborhood
The Forest of Bowland and Ribble Valley, which overlap in parts, have dozens of lovely villages and places all worth seeing, walking or driving to. Cobden View looks out to Pendle Hill, famous as the home of Lancashire Witches and you can see the everchanging colours of the Hill that stands proud and alone between the fells of the Trough of Bowland and the Pennine foothills to the east. Just set off walking on one of the footpaths on the farm and see for yourselves.Buses stop at the bottom of our farm road that leads up to Cobden View at Cobden Farm. Buses link up at Whalley, Burnley or the Clitheroe Interchange which serves also the train station. Just a few of the places to visit are: Ribchester with its Roman museum, where you can walk along the River Ribble, cafes and popular play area for children; Whalley with its Abbey, independent shops and restaurants; Clitheroe with its visitor centre and castle keep, independent shops, twice weekly market, busy music and entertainment venue The Grand, a riverside play area at Edisford Bridge throngs with children on finer days.Downham, an unspoiled village, has been the setting for film and TV programmes.Chatburn has the long established Hudsons Ice Cream shop.Dunsop Bridge, the centre of Great Britain and part of the Queens Duchy of Lancaster estate, has Puddleducks cafe and some gorgeous riverside walks.Slaidburn, again with riverside walks, is steeped in history.Cobblehey Gardens and cafe.The Wildboar Park is a great day out if you have children.Barley at the foot of Pendle Hills Big End has some good walks - including the challenge of climbing the stone steps to the top of the hill.Skipton is a lovely market town too, with a three-times weekly market set out on the main street and with a castle, ever popular with visitors. The Leeds Liverpool canal winds through the town, with canal boats offering day trips.If youre feeling active, try the mountain bike rides or walks through Gisburn Forest; visit Stocks Reservoir where a village lies under the water - seen only when the water is low; Beacon Fell Country Park with a lovely visitor centre is not far away. Head for the Trough of Bowland - our own version of Glencoe landscape - to Lancaster, Garstang, Chipping. Unbeatable. Or just aim for Jubilee Tower which has panoramic views across Morecambe Bay.The country lanes and mass of public footpaths crisscross the whole area. Walks from the door at Cobden View can take you anywhere you want. There are fishing lakes and the Leeds Liverpool canal not far away, at least five golf courses, swimming pools and riding stables. If you enjoy shopping, a visit to Boundary Mill at the end of the M65 at Colne is a must. It will keep you there all day.Barden Mill, another shopping outlet, is at Pendle Village off Junction 12 of the M65.
