We go to Fairfield every year, for a week in October. We love the place. The location is perfect and we always feel like we are coming home. Ruth, the owner, is a lovely lady and extremely helpful. Barley itself is a wonderful community. There are 2 pubs in the village. The Pendle inn used to be excellent but seems to have declined in the last few years but still seems to be community minded, and there is the Barley Mow which is nice too. There is no shop in the village but many supermarkets deliver there. The is also a cafe called The Cabin in the village car park. There are so many walks right from the door. We feel like it is the gift that keeps on giving. Fairfield is well equipped with most things you would need. There are also some games and jigsaw puzzles in the cupboards. We love to go out in the day and then light the log burner and snuggle up with a film in the evenings. It is incredibly peaceful, and despite the spooky stories centred around Pendle Hill, we find it to be a very peaceful and tranquil place which soothes the soul. I booked again for our next trip before we even finished our last trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this homely peaceful place.
