UNITED KINGDOM, February 23, 2006. Brits are increasingly shunning international holiday hotspots and opting to explore countryside a little closer to home by taking 72 million more holidays in the UK every year. A-list celebrities such as Madonna, the Beckhams and Angelina Jolie are all embracing the British countryside and popular TV programmes such as

'Coast' and 'Relocation, Relocation, Relocation', that celebrate the UK's beautiful scenery, are reflecting how more Brits covet a rural piece of countryside for themselves. Holidaymakers can now enjoy their own slice of traditional country life as Ribblesdale Park opens the doors to five, luxury stone holiday cottages on the Ist of April 2006.

Ribblesdale Park is already well known as an exclusive development of luxury lodges that fuses traditional country estate life with modern 21st century living. Now the park is extending this lifestyle opportunity for holidaymakers wanting a short break. The owner and visionary behind Ribblesdale Park, Guy Hindley commented, "Ribblesdale Park offers its residents an escape route to the countryside where they can fully relax and enjoy being spoilt by superior levels of service. With the opening of the traditional holiday cottages, it is now possible to enjoy the outstanding beauty of this country estate for a short break."

Holiday lets are available for a weekend or week-long break with four different styles of luxury cottage available to choose from each built with traditional limestone and a cosy modern country feel inside. The Gardener's Cottage, Coppice Cottage and Gamekeeper's Cottage each offer three bedrooms and two bathrooms, perfect for up to six people. The Fisherman's cottage consists of two adjoining cottages, which can be let independently or interconnected through the conservatory creating a spacious property for up to 10 people.

Each holiday cottage offers guests the utmost in comfort for breaks during both the summer and winter including:

-High tech Bose entertainment systems in the bedrooms

-A Video/DVD and radio/CD player in the downstairs living room

-A modern, fitted kitchen with an electric range cooker, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave and dining area

-A large open plan living area with french doors opening on to a garden and patio

-Central heating and double glazing

-A wood burning stove in the sitting room

-An individual Hot Tub suitable year round

-A barbeque

-A Sony Playstation

-Molton Brown toiletries

-Five star concierge service

Both the Gamekeeper's Cottage and the Fisherman's Cottage also benefit from having their very own river at the end of the garden for holidaymakers to brush up their fishing skills.

On site, guests can ease in to their new lifestyles by soaking up the beautiful scenery and the peace and quiet it offers. On lazy days they can opt for a dip in the hot tub and lunch on the patio while watching race horses gallop by under the watchful eye of Pendle Hill. If they're feeling more energised they can explore the many walk and cycle paths that delve further in to the Ribble Valley, the landscape that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

With miles and miles of unspoilt countryside, caves and mountains to explore, and local towns with an array of activities, the area has something that appeals to everyone.
