Luxury holiday accommodation in Bashall Eaves. Welcome to the heart of rural Lancashire.
The House
Full of period detail and history, the house is the perfect place to get away from it all. From the huge master bedroom and the quirky canopy room to the bright and spacious kitchen and dining room with its wood-burning stove and the elegant drawing room with its open fire, the house has everything for a comfortable and luxurious holiday.
With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, it provides beds and ample seating and dining space for seven.
The Garden
A well-kept garden surrounds the house on all sides. A beautiful sundial forms the centrepiece of the front lawn. The front aspect looks over fields towards beautiful Pendle Hill, and the back looks out over fields to Longridge and the fells of Bowland.
We have an outdoor table and chairs for eight, as well as chimnea for sitting out in the evenings and a few outdoor games.

What our guests think:
"A fabulous house in a stunning location. The house is just amazing; one of my party called it the National Trust house. It was spacious, finished to a high standard and not lacking in the day to day essentials. The welcome baskets were generously filled with locals goods. We were sorrry we were not staying longer and it was rather sad to have to say goodbye."
