Delightful self-catering holiday cottage accommodation in Lancashire converted from a former stable and situated in a beautiful quiet position adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse on a working organic dairy and sheep farm. The "Old Stable" is less than a mile from the historic village of Slaidburn in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the border between Lancashire and Yorkshire. The cottage is thoroughly well equipped and provides excellent holiday or weekend break accommodation for up to 8 guests.

This property is extremely comfortable and is furnished to a high standard both outside and in and has achieved an English Tourist Council 4 Star rating. The stable has been thoughtfully renovated incorporating as much of the original beams and features as possible. One double room and shower room are situated on the ground floor and are therefore ambulant disabled-friendly.

There are mountain bike tracks in Gisburn Forest and local bike hire. Superb fly-fishing is available at the nationally renowned Stocks Fly Fishery, which is just a short walk from the cottage. For the tourist the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and West Coast resorts are all easily accessible within 1 hour along scenic roads for a day trip.
