The whole pack is sure to have a ball at this traditional stone-built cottage that is set within picturesque surroundings in the sleepy hamlet of Harrop Fold in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An idyllic rural retreat for a small family or couple and a canine companion, it offers a comfortable stay within easy reach of scenic walking routes and quaint market towns.
Step along the gravel path and across the threshold into the welcoming kitchen with dining area, well-equipped and with feature beams, offering a glimpse of the cottage’s characterful charm. The living room features a Victorian fireplace with an electric fire and yet more period features and furniture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Upstairs, there is a spacious master bedroom with double bed and a chaise longue, which invites you to curl up with a book in front of the window. The second bedroom houses a bunk bed, ideal for children. There is also a traditional family bathroom on this floor. Step outside into the enclosed garden, perfect for Fido and the children to play in – which offers serene views of the surrounding countryside.
There’s a plethora of walking routes for you and your canine companion to enjoy within easy reach of the property; the Forest of Bowland offers hundreds of miles of walkers’ paradise with uplands and fell tops to conquer and explore. Those taking their bow-wows need to be mindful of livestock, so be sure to check guidelines when planning your adventures. Afternoon tea and a spot of shopping can be enjoyed close by at Clitheroe (13 miles) or Downham (14 miles) or for a family and dog-friendly day out you can sniff out adventures at Bowland Wild Boar Park (13 miles) – where dogs are welcome if kept on a lead.
