This peaceful countryside retreat in the tranquil hamlet of Oakenclough offers a charming escape for up to four guests – ideal for couples, families, and their four-pawed companions looking to fully unwind. Surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, this bolthole provides an inviting space to return to after a day of discovery with its warming wood burner and fully enclosed private garden for your hounds to explore.
Step inside this cosy cottage through the porch, where you can leave boots and wipe down paws. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner area is a cosy room with tiled floors and a wood burner tucked into an original stone fireplace for those heat-seeking hounds. The kitchen area is well equipped, making it easy to whip up meals to share at the breakfast bar. In the evening, sit back on one of the plush sofas in front of the Smart TV with Rover at your feet. A handy utility room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms – a spacious super-king-size and a relaxing double finished in soft neutral tones, along with a sleek, contemporary shower room. Outside, your furry friends can enjoy the enclosed lawn, perfect for a game of fetch. To the rear, steps lead up to a second enclosed outdoor space with a patio and garden furniture for al fresco meals or morning coffee. On-street parking is available 30 metres from the property.
From your door, you''ll have easy access to an abundance of trails that wind across open moorland, lush valleys, and breathtaking viewpoints. Just 6 miles away, the historic market town of Garstang is perfect for a day out, with its narrow alleyways, quaint shops, dog-friendly cafes and pet-positive pubs. Pups with energy to burn won’t want to miss Pendle Hill (23 miles) for its stunning panoramas across the Ribble Valley. For further exploration, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are within 30 miles, offering endless landscapes for inquisitive canines to investigate. The Lancashire coast is also easily accessible, with the sand and shingle Rossall Beach 20 miles from home, where four-legged friends are welcome to join you year-round.
