Countryside Cottage in Lancashire
Escape to the peace and beauty of rural life with a stay at Shepherds Barn, a charming countryside cottage in Lancashire. Nestled within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our lovingly restored barn offers guests a luxury self-catering retreat surrounded by open fields, rolling hills, and the calm rhythm of life on a traditional working farm.
The cottage combines rustic charm with modern comfort, creating the perfect space to relax and unwind. Inside, you’ll find three large en-suite bedrooms, a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, and a cosy living area filled with natural light and countryside character. Every detail — from the exposed beams to the soft furnishings — has been chosen to reflect the warmth of traditional Lancashire hospitality.
Guests can enjoy peaceful walks through the Quernmore Valley, take in the breathtaking views from the farm, or relax and watch the world slow down. For something truly memorable, owner Thomas Longton, an award-winning shepherd, offers guests the chance to watch or take part in sheepdog training — a unique insight into Lancashire’s farming heritage.
Located just a few miles from Lancaster, Shepherd’s Barn is perfectly placed for exploring local villages, country pubs, luxury lodge getaways and scenic trails. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family holiday, or a quiet countryside break, our cottage offers the ideal mix of comfort, privacy, and authentic rural charm.
Experience the best of Lancashire countryside living—where tradition, tranquillity, and timeless beauty come together at Shepherds Barn.
