Guest house holiday rentals in Darwen

Great value option if you need to get into Oxford on the train. Pub on your doorstep and good local walks. Going outside to access the bathroom takes some getting used to and the need to plan ahead before going up to bed. Lovely garden with stunning views from the bedroom. Headroom in the bathroom is limited.

We spent several days at Julia’s Lodge and cannot speak highly enough of her delightful conversion. It was spacious and comfortable with beautiful decor and well chosen furniture. The kitchen was well equipped with added extras like tea/coffee/condiments/olive oil and lovely touches like a fresh posy of roses from the garden, dish of chocolates and a bottle of wine in the fridge! There were even some toiletries in the bathroom. Julia was a most helpful, accommodating host and fully deserves her ’Superhost’ title. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

The area is so beautiful, there a waterfall very close by! The host was always so helpful, polite and courteous, I can see why he is reviewed so well!

I really enjoyed my stay at Helena's. The space was fantastic, very clean and well stocked, and in a beautiful setting - both in the grounds of the house and the village. It was really convenient to get to Oxford both on the train and driving. There are plenty of pubs to choose from and a Co-op a short walk away. I can highly recommend staying at Helena's and hope to return again soon!

A very comfortable stay in a superbly designed, decorated and welcoming AirBnB with a very welcoming and friendly host.

Our stay at this cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by its cozy atmosphere. The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding area, and we especially appreciated the peace and quiet. The cottage was immaculately clean, well-equipped, and the bed was super comfortable. Ian and Emma were incredibly friendly, responsive and helpful with recommendations. They greeted us once we arrived which was lovely, we also got to meet Frankie who was super cute🥰🐶🐾. We would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting a relaxing getaway in the countryside!

Absolutely lovely stay, really close to Bridal Barn which was what we wanted. Thank you so much Robert for looking after us so late notice!

A beautiful place to stay a short drive to Burford.

ideal place for accommodation with beautiful local walks. Near to the wedding venue we were attending. lovely touches to welcome us .

Our stay was perfect it was quiet, clean and the hot tub was lovely just what me and my husband needed.

Kate, Wil and family were extraordinary hosts and made us feel right at home. They were so respectful, kind and responsive. The Air BnB is stunning in a breathtaking location and was in fabulous condition. Definitely a trip to remember thanks to their hospitality and recommendations! We appreciated everything 🥰

We stayed here for 4 nights after getting married. Penny had surprised us by decorating the downstairs with congratulations banner, prosecco and glasses and a balloon and card, also the welcome pack was very lovely. There was a manual to help operate the tv, and all appliances and it also listed places to visit. This property was everything we were looking for and more, the place was lovely and quiet and peaceful and we really felt relaxed and comfortable but it was also easy to drive to local towns and amenities to see the sights, we ate in some lovely local restaurants. We were left alone to do our own thing but both Penny and Simon contacted us on a few occasions to let us know they were available if we needed anything or wanted any help with anything. What more can I say, we had a beautiful stay in a lovely clean and well looked after property and had a good rest, hopefully we will be back one day 🥰

Absolutely lovely plot.beautiful stay, everything you need for a romantic /chilled getaway. Chambers went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. 100percent satisfied… and so will the next people… Thanks pal 💪

Just got back from a beautiful stay at Greenoak. The home was spotless and beautifully decoated to make it very cosy. Would love to come back in the colder months to make use of the stunning log burner. The courtyard was a perfect little area to enjoy the amazing weather in privacy, and fully secure for the dog to roam around. Lucy was very helpful throughout our stay and a small issue was fixed immediately. Such a beautiful peaceful area with lots of lovely places to visit nearby. Can recommend Sleap airfield for a delicious breakfast and Riverside Inn for fancy pub grub! Thanks again for everything

We had the most wonderful week staying at this charming annexe in the Cotswolds. The location was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after days exploring the Cotswolds. The annexe itself was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts Heidili and George were absolutely lovely — always friendly, happy to help, and a pleasure to chat with. We felt so welcomed throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing Cotswolds escape!

We had a wonderful stay in Bledington and Laura was a very friendly and responsive host. She even welcomed us with some milk which I found very thoughtful. The home was comfortable, quiet and a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. I really enjoyed the shower and having laundry available and the baby items and toys were SO convenient for our 15 month old. The bedding and towels felt high quality, but I must note the pillows were very flat and the bed hard. Overall, still a great stay that I recommend to other small families and couples.

We really enjoyed our 3-day stay at Charlotte’s place. The garden unit is purpose built, attractive and very modern. It has a private entrance and is set within the large and beautiful garden of the owners. There is a sunny place to sit out and enjoy the surroundings. The interior is very comfortable, high quality and immaculately presented. Charlotte was very friendly and helped us out with local information. The starter pack of fresh eggs, milk and bread was very welcome. One of the best Airbnb’s that I’ve stayed in and well deserving of its 5 stars.

We stayed at the cottage while visiting our new grandson in nearby Woodford Halse. Communications from Victoria were excellent, as were directions. Upon our arrival Victoria came out to greet us and (vitally important) to ask us what we wanted for breakfast! The cottage turned out to be an absolute delight, nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. Our last Airbnb experience in May 2024 was dreadful and it was a relief to have our faith restored. Although the cottage was small, it was perfect for our needs. The bedroom upstairs was cosy and the bed was very comfortable. The downstairs bathroom was nicely appointed and there was plenty of hot water for showers. Although the cottage doesn't have a kitchen as such, Victoria provided a microwave and toaster, plus bread, cereals, tea, milk, coffee etc. Nothing had been overlooked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend both the cottage and our host Victoria unreservedly! Thank you very much Victoria! Andrew & Jayne.

Stayed for a few days while visiting family in Stockport. Lovely accommodation, absolutely spotless with everything that we needed including milk and tea - definitely needed after our long drive from the south coast!. Peace and quiet with views over open countryside. Will definitely return.

Excellent as ever, many thanks!

Beautiful little cottage. So relaxing and peaceful. The Japanese whirlpool bath was unreal… the only noises you can hear in the garden is the wind and the metal chimes. Amazing location and extremely friendly host. Wish we stayed longer!

We had a very happy two night stay here. The Lodge was equipped to a high standard (in particular, super-comfortable beds with luxurious linen, great bathrooms and kitchen) along with a feeling of being in a delightful home. The garden was beautiful - a lovely spot for a G&T and extremely peaceful. We met Chris and his family briefly and they were very friendly and hospitable, on hand to help, but not at all intrusive. We would like to return another time for a longer visit.

Melanie's property was more than what we had bargained for. It was STUNNING and the photos really do not do this place justice! Everything that you could have wished for was in the property and you can tell that Melanie an team take pride with their property. It was easy to find, secure with the gated entrance and the bed was super comfy. The pub was lovely and quiet too. Didn't even notice there was one there until departing in the morning. Wish we had stayed there more than 1 night. However, if we're ever in the area again, we WILL book with you!

Lovely place and ideal for a two night stay for two of us . Amazingly comfy bed and lovely shower room! Mark kindly gave us a lift to a local wedding venue to collect our car the morning after a wedding we’d attended in return for a small donation to a local hospice , which was really kind of him.
