Mintholme Barn was in a picturesque part of Lancashire. Tucked away down a country lane with superb views from the property. Although tucked away, there are a number of pub/restaurants within a couple of minutes drive. Shops are closed for supplies. We would like to have seen more of the area in the time we were there. We will be going back and wouRead moreld highly recommend the property for a stay. It is very well equipped and beautifully decorated inside. Hide

Beautiful and comfortable home with everything needed for a family holiday. The location is perfect for long walks, runs and strolls around the countryside. The views and sunset in particular were amazing. The welcome book was full of useful information and recommendations for things to do in the area. Highly recommended!
