Nestled just below the Forest of Bowland AONB, this serene escape seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort, perfect for those seeking a quiet getaway with their canine companion.
Step into your own world through the practical boot room - a haven designed with dog parents in mind. This essential space creates a seamless transition from muddy paws to clean floors, equipped with everything your dogs needs after an adventure. You'll find plush microfibre towels for drying wet paws, a snuggly dog bed, complete with baskets with toys and treats, and stainless steel water and food bowls are also provided.
The interior showcases a stunning blend of rustic charm and elegant comfort, where historic stone walls create a timeless backdrop for modern living. The open-plan layout flows beautifully from one area to the next and the log burner keeps you cosy in the evenings snuggled up on the sofa with your dogs.
Natural light streams in through doorways and windows, the showstopper being the signature magnificent arched window. The way the natural light floods in creates an almost cathedral-like atmosphere in this dining space, brightening the space while offering glimpses of the greenery outside.
A thoughtfully equipped kitchen awaits, and you'll find all the modern appliances needed for effortless meal preparation, including a spacious full sized refrigerator-freezer combination, a contemporary electric oven with ceramic hob, and a built-in microwave for quick heating needs. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the premium coffee machine, while the matching kettle and toaster complete the morning routine essentials.
The kitchen comes stocked with all the fundamentals to start cooking immediately. Essential seasonings like salt and pepper are provided, along with cooking oils and a comprehensive collection of kitchen equipment. From elegant dinnerware and gleaming cutlery to a variety of glasses, cups, and mugs, everything has been carefully selected to ensure a comfortable stay.
The enclosed courtyard is a secure space for dogs to roam, bordered by sturdy meter-high stone walls and a robust wooden gate with childproof latches. This private space allows your dog to explore and relax safely. Beyond the courtyard and down the lane, you'll discover two expansive fenced fields, perfect for off-lead runs and fetch. While the post-and-rail fencing provides good boundaries, note that these fields are not 100% escape-proof – particularly determined dogs might find gaps under gates or through sparse hedgerows. We recommend keeping an eye on dogs that are known escape artists or using a long training lead if you're unsure about recall.
Just a four minute drive from your doorstep lies Longridge Fell, the most southerly fell in England and a haven for dog walkers. Despite its popularity, the sheer size of this space means you can easily find your own quiet spot, and it's perfect for dogs who need a little more room from other four-legged friends as you can see a long way ahead. The fell offers numerous trail options, from gentle ambles to more challenging hikes. The Ribble Way provides a particularly serene experience as it meanders alongside the River Ribble, where dogs can cool their paws in safe shallow spots and explore the varied terrain. The path network is extensive enough that you can easily adjust your route if you spot other walkers ahead, making it ideal for reactive dogs or those who prefer their own space.
For the ultimate relaxation experience, guests can enhance their stay by adding access to the private sauna. Available for an additional fee, this authentic wood-lined retreat offers the perfect way to unwind after a day of activities or to complement your morning routine.
