  • Luxury shepherd’s hut with Ribble Valley views in rural Lancashire
  • A 15-minute drive to Gisburn Forest, and 25 minutes from Skipton
  • Well-equipped kitchen, underfloor heating, private patio and bike shed
How about a touch of rural style set on a working farm near Clitheroe in Lancashire? Every last detail of Woody’s Retreat has been handcrafted to the highest standard, featuring solid oak cupboards and furnishings complemented by iron fittings and whitewashed panelling. This cute and comfy shepherd’s hut is designed for loved-up couples in search of a peaceful break, with a comfortable double bed, ample storage for all your belongings and wardrobe space to hang clothing. The living area has a bench seat, table and chairs, plus a kitchenette with fridge, oven, microwave and all sorts of useful utensils – so you don’t need to bring anything much with you. Even more conveniently the hut has a loo and shower as well as other modern comforts like complementary wifi if you want to stay connected with home, and underfloor heating to keep you toasty warm should the weather turn cool. Outside the hut, there’s your own private wildflower garden with a patio – from here you can enjoy views over the Ribble Valley to the local landmark of Pendle Hill – gazebo and chiminea. If you’re exploring the area on two wheels, there’s also a lockable bike shed for extra security and peace of mind.

Local attractions

Sitting on the edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woody’s Retreat is a handy base for walking and cycling holidays, with excellent routes all around, including the Pendle Sculpture Trail (20 minutes’ drive). The more adventurous can embrace their inner daredevil at Gisburn Forest (15 minutes) on mountain bike trails for all abilities. Prefer to travel on four wheels? The village of Sawley has the ruin of a Cistercian abbey to explore (plus a very popular pub), while Bolton-by-Bowland (both five minutes) has an historic church known for its stone carvings. The market town of Clitheroe (15 minutes) features a Norman keep and local-history museum, as well as Holmes Mill, a beer hall with (reputedly) one of the longest bars in Europe. Heading over the border into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Skipton (25 minutes) is a lively market town with a well-preserved medieval castle to explore, canal-side walks and some of the best fish and chips around. It’s also the gateway to adventures at Malham Cove (40 minutes) and testing walks on the Three Peaks Challenge at Pen-y-ghent (half an hour).
