Houghton Barn Farm - Pendle View Lodge

Accrington sits in the heart of Lancashire's Pendle area, where moorland and working farmland shape the landscape. Pendle View Lodge occupies a rural spot that looks out towards Pendle Hill, yet the village amenities—pub, shops, takeaways—are close by. The lodge itself is a detached property on a working farm, designed as a complete home for a week or a break: it sleeps five across two bedrooms and has one bathroom, with private parking and an enclosed decked garden.

Everything is on the ground floor. The living space centres on a large sitting room with a woodburner and 75-inch television; the dining room flows naturally from it. Two bedrooms provide a double and a bunk bed (double below, single above). The kitchen has electric cooking and a washing machine, so you can manage a week's worth of food and laundry without trips out. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower. Electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included, along with logs for the fire. The hot tub is your own, set in the garden behind the wraparound decking where a barbecue is also available.

This suits families and friends wanting to explore local walks without staying in a town, or anyone drawn to the moorland scenery around Pendle. One pet is welcome. No smoking indoors.
