You will also find 1 twin bedroom on the ground floor and a wet room with WC.  As you make your way up stairs you will be greeted by 4 homely bedrooms.  Two of which are en-suite doubles and two are twin.  After a family day out why not relax in the roll top bath in the family bathroom that also comprises of a shower and WC.

We had a lovely stay in the Old Barn. Only thing was the underfloor heating definitely didnt heat up on the more chillier evenings so had to sit in the kitchen diner area to warm up. But both rooms were very comfortable and we all enjoyed our stay. Area was lovely and the farm we were on had lovely animals that children would love. Would Recommend Read morea stay. Hide

Lovelybuilding although could benefit from regular maintenance and kitchen tables really need sanding and varnishing, we cleaned on every use and still felt sticky. No real check in or out with owners despite being on site.

Lovely property, homely and comfortable and spacious, owners are so nice and help with every query. The children enjoyed playing outside with the dogs, and visiting all the animals. Great base for visiting Blackpool, Morecombe, Lancaster, Garstang etc. And I would highly recommend the local Thai restaurant,

a great place to stay friendly owners and family, making us all feel welcome and a welcome pack of homemade scones and jam. a quiet location and lots of farm animals for the grandchildren to look at, as well and the farm dogs. the accommodation was more than adequate for our needs, with lots of room for the dogs to move about safely.

We found it was in a great location with easy access to Blackpool, Lancaster and the lakes. Plenty of space. Close to local amenities, shop, pub and takeaways. Farm animals are an added bonus for kids to look at. Good space to play outside. We had a great week and enjoyed our stay.

Unfortunately this was a disappointing stay at the old Barn at Bell Farm. Cleanliness of the property was not to a high standard as one would expect and the cost paid. Heavily stained pillows, no pillow protectors, dirty toilet. There was no toilet rolls supplied and when reported to the owner there was no response.

Loved our stay as a multigenerational family. Better if you are relaxed about things, we had a couple of leaks and you have to watch out for dog poo on the grass. However, the children loved the animals and scooting around the drive. Rooms were better than the pictures suggested.

Cottage was quiet and warm. Local facilities are within easy walking distance ( Convenience store, hardware store, fish and chip shop, pub serving Thai food) Wooden floors make cottage ideal for families with children and dogs.
