Our Holiday Cottages
Barnacre Cottages were the first five-star self catering holiday cottages in Lancashire, all four of the original cottages having attained the highest standard awarded by English Tourism Council. More recently, Mole End and Woodpecker Cottages, added in 2007, have also achieved five-star ratings.

Barnacre Cottages have won many regional and national awards, including a North West Tourist Board Self-Catering Holiday of the Year Gold Award and an Excellence in England Silver Award.

Sleeping between four and twelve persons, our self catering holiday cottages can accommodate a range of families or even a small group. Each has a ' Mark Wilkinson ' designer kitchen with granite worktops and appliances by Miele and Neff.

Other standard equipment includes fridge, separate freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, TV, video, CD player, iron, ironing board and hairdryer. The Old Stables, Mole End and Woodpecker have Aga cookers and Old Stables even has a gas wok burner!

All of our properties are centrally heated, supplemented by cosy open fires in Pheasant Cottage and Partridge Cottage and wood-burning stoves in the Old Stables, Piggeries, Mole End and Woodpecker. The cottages are all served by natural spring water.

All heating, electricity, bed linen, duvets and towels are included in the price. A travel cot, highchair, fireguard and stair gate are available on request. The Old Stables, Partridge Cottage and Pheasant Cottage each have an enclosed paved garden area that is especially suitable for young children.

Guests are welcome to use our new all-weather tennis court.

The quality of the accommodation is matched by our superb location, with magnificent views towards the coast and the Lake District. We are in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Forest of Bowland. Set in ten acres, bordered by woodland, and visited by local deer and pheasants, you will find excellent walking on hand right from your doorstep. Fishing is available nearby.

For golf fans, both Royal Lytham and Royal Birkdale are within easy reach, but there is also a great choice of golf courses available locally.

Finally, you are assured of a warm and personal welcome from the resident owners, Terry and Sue Sharples.
