Rooten Brook Farm - Valley View
Lancaster
View on Google MapsValley View is a ground-floor barn conversion on a 800-acre working farm in the Trough of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The farm sits on the edge of serious walking country, with the Fells visible from the property and the Yorkshire Dales within reach. Lancaster itself is a short drive away, and the Lake District, Morecambe and Blackpool are all accessible for a day out.
The conversion comprises an open-plan living space on the ground floor with a sofa bed, a separate galleried bedroom upstairs with two single beds that zip together, and a shower room. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included. There is a utility room with a washing machine and freezer (shared with other properties on the farm), and your own parking space. A small enclosed courtyard with garden furniture overlooks the surrounding landscape. One dog is welcome at no extra charge.
The property suits couples or families wanting to be based in quiet farmland with good access to the fells and the coast. No smoking indoors. Note that water comes from a borehole on the farm, and there is a stream in the grounds.

Lovely cottage (I stayed in Clougha View) stone floor with underfloor heating. Fantastic location to be able to visit family at the university (10 mins from Uni and 10 mins from town centre) even better being able to walk straight out onto the hills behind with a footpath from the house to Clougha Pike / Ward Stone. Good base to explore the Trough of Bowland. Stunning views from the outside seating. Comfortable bed and hot showers. What more do you want

Small but neat. Superb view from outside seating area. Large bedroom. Shower cubicle small square one. Fully equipped, but no kitchen roll. The 3 cottages share the one outside area. Narrow lane off the road to reach with no passing place

A very peaceful stay with stunning views. Clean, warm, good space, outdoor seating and parking. It is a working farm so expect cattle and sheep, tractor movements and sheep dog barking but this all adds.to the experience of rural Lancashire. Easy access to Forest of Bowland, Kirby Lonsdale, Ingleton as well as the Lancashire coast, Blackpool, Lancaster and Morecambe. Supermarket on edge of Lancaster and Fast food is also there, but even the journey over the cattle grids and through the ravine to the farm adds to the magical feel of the Clogtha Pike.

Stayed 4 nights from 29th April - 3 May 2022. Cannot fault the cottage or location. Looked new inside and immaculately clean. The views are to die for and the outside seating area is a great touch. The only thing that spoiled it was the vibrant barking of several collie dogs that work the farm. More importantly and the first morning we were wakened at 6.45am by the farm Jack Russells yapping echoing round the yard for and hour and every time they let it out. Always women between 6.45 and 7.45 by the dogs and then more or less constantly all day. If the weather had been good enough to sit outside we wouldn't have done because of the baking. Saw Linda and told her and she spoke to her son. There must have been confusion as he said he hadn't let the dog out until 7.30 that morning. Still to early when you're on holiday and trying to rest. Blamed it on another cottage visitors dog, but the yapping continued even after those guests went home. Spoiled what would have been a perfect, relaxing holiday
