Escape to the Lancashire countryside in this delightful cottage in the village of Barrowford. The holiday retreat sleeps four guests and one furry pal, and is perfect for couples and families who love outdoor adventure, with the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales on your doorstep. Nearby paw-friendly attractions include Skipton Castle, and Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway (both within 20 miles).
The cosy cottage is set above a shop and is reached via a flight of external steps. Enter into the characterful kitchen/diner, with its beamed ceiling, whitewashed stone walls, and all the equipment needed for a successful self-catering break. Rustle up tasty feasts using local ingredients, to share at the farmhouse-style dining table. The separate lounge is equally quaint, with exposed beams and an ornamental stone fireplace. Snuggle up in here after a long dog walk, warming your toes and paws by the coal-effect gas fire and catching up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. Upstairs, two attractive bedrooms – a double and a twin – offer a tranquil setting for a good night’s sleep. A refreshing bathroom rounds off the accommodation. There is no outside area, however, Barrowford has some lovely public parks and green spaces for walkies. On-street parking is available nearby, subject to availability.
Barrowford is a traditional Lancashire village, with friendly pubs and cafes, along with independent shops and boutiques (many of which welcome waggy-tailed visitors). You’ll discover endless walking routes in and around the village, including along the scenic canal towpath and around Barrowford Reservoir. Further afield, let Rover lead the way to the summit of Pendle Hill (4 miles), or explore iconic beauty spots such as Malham Cove (18 miles) and Bolton Abbey (23 miles).
