Escape to the tranquil village of Hoghton with your four-legged friend and enjoy a peaceful getaway surrounded by open fields. This characterful property is perfect for friends and families seeking a relaxing retreat with its exposed woodwork, light-filled kitchen/diner and far-reaching countryside views.

Step through the front door and feel instantly at home. The bright and spacious entrance hall is perfect for storing coats and towelling muddy paws after a long walk. The cosy lounge features exposed beams, brickwork, and picturesque countryside views, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere to unwind with Fido in front of the gas fire. The open-plan kitchen/diner is the heart of the home, with its high vaulted ceilings and double doors leading to the garden, allowing natural light to fill the space. Gather around the farmhouse table and enjoy a delicious meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. The utility room and snug provide additional convenience and relaxation areas. Upstairs, the sloping timber-clad ceilings add charm and warmth to the three comfortable bedrooms, including a king-size and two double rooms. The beautiful family bathroom with a large free-standing bath completes the interior. Outside, the front patio area welcomes you to dine alfresco with a picnic bench and charcoal BBQ. The lawned area offers seating and stunning views of the surrounding open countryside, with plenty of space for canine companions to run and play.

Embark on scenic walks and cycle routes directly from the doorstep, and don't forget to visit the two dog-friendly pubs just over 0.5 miles away. Explore the historic Hoghton Tower, known for its ghostly tales and breathtaking views. For nature enthusiasts, the beautiful Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is 12 miles away, offering stunning fells, valleys, and moorland for you and your hound to explore.

Mintholme Barn was a great place to stay while we were visiting family in Manchester area. It is in a lovely rural setting, with good views and walks, yet also really easy to get to the motorway. The house itself is cosy, comfortable and well equipped with thoughtful items. We had a lovely, restful week and hope to return.

Accommodation was exactly as described, well equipped and comfortable. The hosts were very prompt with a response to a query prior to our arrival and have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring guests have all they need to enjoy their stay. Even left some treats for our four legged friends!
