An ideal base for discovering the North West


Welcome to Barnacre Cottages

Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane in the heart of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, Barnacre Cottages is a collection of six award-winning luxury holiday cottages. Forming a small, private hamlet of beautifully restored stone buildings, each cottage enjoys panoramic views stretching towards the Lake District fells and the Lancashire coast.

Combining the character of traditional farm buildings with stylish contemporary interiors, our cottages have been thoughtfully designed to provide exceptional comfort throughout the year. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family holiday or a gathering with friends, Barnacre Cottages offers the perfect countryside retreat.

Each cottage features a beautifully equipped Mark Wilkinson designer kitchen, quality furnishings, spacious living areas and elegantly presented bedrooms with crisp linen and luxurious towels. Oak, limestone and terracotta floors, hand-painted decorative details by a local artist, and welcoming open fires or wood-burning stoves create a warm and inviting atmosphere in every season. Supplied with fresh natural spring water, every cottage includes heating, electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels, so you can relax from the moment you arrive.

Outside, every cottage has its own private garden with outdoor seating and a fire pit, perfect for dining al fresco or relaxing beneath the stars. Barbecues are available during the warmer months, while The Old Stables, Oakhouse and Woodpecker Cottage also feature their own pizza ovens for memorable evenings with family and friends.

Set within 14 acres of beautiful grounds, guests can explore landscaped gardens and open meadows, enjoy the children's adventure play area or challenge each other on the full-size tennis court. Nature lovers will delight in the abundant wildlife, with regular sightings of deer, hares, pheasants, buzzards and woodpeckers. Younger guests will love meeting our free-ranging chickens, Patrick and Joey the horses, and our friendly resident cats, including Thunder, our famous pirate cat.

Despite our peaceful rural setting, Barnacre Cottages is perfectly placed for exploring the very best of the North West. The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Lancaster, Blackpool, Manchester and Liverpool are all within easy reach, making us an ideal base for discovering Lancashire's countryside, coastline and vibrant cities. Conveniently located between the South of England and Scotland, Barnacre Cottages is also the perfect meeting place for family reunions, celebrations and special gatherings.

Two of our cottages are designed to be accessible, offering level access and profiling beds to help ensure a comfortable and inclusive holiday for all generations.

Proudly holding VisitEngland's prestigious 5-Star Gold accreditation for over 20 years, Barnacre Cottages combines award-winning quality, exceptional comfort and genuine Lancashire hospitality in one truly special setting.
