Set in the beautiful Forest of Bowland countryside


Original stone cottages forming a small, private hamlet down a quiet country lane with panoramic views across to the Lake District and coast. Five luxury cottages ranging from traditional farm building conversions to the contemporary designs.

Our amazing location is a delight to all guests and is a paradise for wildlife lovers with deer, pheasants, hares, buzzards, woodpeckers including our own free ranging chickens and pet lambs. The variety of birds is a watchers dream and yet we are just 40 minutes’ drive to Windermere, Yorkshire Dales, Manchester, Liverpool or Blackpool.

All cottages have quality furnishings, oak and tiled floors, superb Mark Wilkinson designer kitchens, crystal glassware, exquisite crockery and plastic ware for toddlers. The interior design is a delight with comfortable sofas, limestone, terracotta and oak floors and hand painted décor by a local artist. The cottages have welcoming open fires or woodburning stoves and are all served by natural spring water. The bath and shower rooms are sparkling with luxurious towels and the bedrooms are airy and dressed with fresh linen. All heating, electricity, bed linen, duvets and towels are included. A travel cot, highchair and fireguard are available on request.

Each cottage has its own private garden and barbecues are available for those summer evenings to dine outside with the family. All the cottages have fire pits and The Old Stables, Oakhouse and Woodpecker cottage have pizza ovens too! There is an outdoor children’s play area and a full-size tennis court available for guests to use. There are ample amounts of grounds to explore and there’s a couple of chickens who might like to say hello, Timmy our sheep, and Martha and Dawn the resident pigs at the bottom of the field are always grateful for a visitor.

Two cottages have been officially graded Mobility 1 and two cottages have been graded Mobility 2 by VisitEngland.

Our cottages provide everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay throughout the year and with lots to do right on the doorstep you'll find Lancashire an ideal location to visit.

Meet the owner

Beth Sharples

A friendly, family run business with resident owners Terry, Sue and daughters Kendall, Beth & Callie who live next to the cottages. Always a family member on hand to help and assist our guests, with lots of local knowledge.
