About this property
Slaidburn 3.2 miles. Enjoying the Forest of Bowland AONB on its doorstep, on the outskirts of Newton-in-Bowland near Slaidburn, Yorkshire is this fantastic barn conversion of Robinsons Barn. The perfect setting for a family of 12's getaway, the property is within easy reach of Fylde coastline, as well as the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Off-road parking for up to three cars greets you on arrival, along with the marvellous exterior of your new home-from-home. Make your way inside to be welcomed by beautifully designed interiors sporting original features, such as exposed stonework, flagstone flooring and rustic beams. Head to the kitchen/diner to fix up a delicious meal with one of the top-notch appliances resting amongst the wooden cabinets, before taking it over to one of the two nearby dining tables, both of which seat six people.
Alternatively, you can head up the steps to the living/dining room, where a table seating up to ten guests can be found and is ideal for a large get-together; move through the wonderful space to find an array of velvet seating in front of an original inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, where you can warm your toes by the flames as you watch a show on the TV. Concluding the ground floor is a utility, where you can pop any old clothing into the washing machine before wandering upstairs to find a charming, stone balcony, where you can savour a glass of wine as you watch the sun set over the countryside.
When night falls, choose one of five bedrooms, all of which are furnished to a high standard, with the first being a fabulous double which enjoys an en-suite bathroom, two further doubles, a twin and a family room offering a double and a bunk with a pull-out bed. Nearby, the family bathroom can also be found, where you can enjoy a soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse in the walk-in shower; you're spoilt for choice! In the morning, head outside to the enclosed courtyard, where you can start the day off with a cup of coffee in the sun.
Travel a short distance in Newton-in-Bowland to find the fantastic eatery of Parkers Arms, or head to Slaidburn to enjoy the choice of dining at a friendly pub and tearooms; alternatively, you can grab any essentials for dinner from the Central Stores. Make the most of the fantastic sights sitting a stone's throw away from the property, from the peak of Easington Fell and the enchanting Gisburn Forest & Stocks, to the attractions of Browsholme Hall and Bowland Wild Boar Park; there's plenty to see here! Why not visit Clitheroe, a picturesque town hosting the Clitheroe Castle Museum and a golf club, whilst being moments away from the renowned Pendle Hill with its ski club and walking trails? Settle also isn't far and is a fantastic outing, with The Museum of North Craven Life offering fascinating exhibits, along with access to hikes taking you to Scaleber Force Waterfall.
Be sure to explore more of the Forest of Bowland AONB, where Wolfhole Crag, White Hill and Grit Fell await those adventure-seekers of the group! An amazing stay awaits at Robinsons Barn.
