About this property

The Old Stables is a wonderful cottage, where the living area extends and includes everyone. The TV room flows into kitchen, which is a beautiful social space that rolls into the conservatory. The dining area benefits from the light of the conservatory - its just a delightful space to enjoy. The conservatory leads out to a huge, private garden. This includes a pizza oven, hot tub, bbq and fire pit. It's a fabulous place for any occasion. Six bedrooms, three bathrooms. Access to the tennis court, play area and football nets. Onsite horses and chickens, and views across Wyre and the Fylde Coast.

The Old Stables is our regular haunt for a family gathering

The property is located in the Lancashire countryside with walking from the doorstep and outdoor space including a large enclosed garden and a shared play area. We are regular Xmas visitors because the open plan ground floor with 2 seating areas the dining area and the kitchen makes a perfect location for our family get together. The cottage is well equipped, warm and roomy and the owners could not be more accommodating.

Brilliant New Years Break

A fantastic property and wonderful location for a group gathering. Even when we were at full capacity there still felt like there was plenty of space. A smashing time was had by all particularly in the communal areas. We particularly liked there roosters!

Perfect

My family and I had a fabulous long weekend staying at Barnacre cottages The Old Stables cottage was amazing. Decor was perfect, comfortable beds, there was everything we could possibly need, and more. The children played outside from breakfast til bed…tennis, games in the huge garden, football and there was even a family rounders match on the field one evening. Each day ended with a little drink and games around the fire pit We really couldn’t have asked for anything better

Brilliant group accommodation

We had a lovely weekend stay with our family group of 12, age range 8-77 and three dogs. The communication was excellent prior to our stay and the property was warm, clean and very well equipped. We particularly loved the kitchen with the large table and great food prep/cooking areas. The setting was stunning with brilliant outdoor area for the children and dogs. The access lanes are quite narrow in parts though so need some careful driving.The local area is very nice and we did some exploring and would recommend this property to others.

Excellent as always

We had a wonderful time staying at the Old Stables. We have stayed in this property before and once again it was perfect. Alongside the lovely property are the amazing family owners whose customer service is outstanding. They really care about giving their customers the best experience. We have been very blessed to have stayed in these beautiful surroundings and relax knowing there is a dedicated team of support if needed. We are so happy that we found Barnacre Cottages!

Birthday weekend

It was such a brilliant place to spend our family weekend with so much to occupy the children. Owners were responsive to problem with dishwasher doing everything possible to resolve the issue. Generously allowed us to leave at a later time on the Sunday.

Wonderful stay

We loved everything about this place, it accomodated 10 of us very very well, there was plenty of parking outside for us all!! The house was stunning, the beds and couches were very comfortable! The grounds around the house were stunning, so picturesque and peaceful. There was a small park for our 7 year olds to play on and a horse and pony who came out to say hello to us everyday. We especially enjoyed sitting around the firepit together and lounging in the living area, we didn't light the fire indoors but it looked lovely. The kitchen had everything you could need and a lovely big AGA cooker. All of us had a fantastic break here and can't wait to return for the next one, would highly recommend!!

Attending a wedding on 31st December 2024

We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Stables but unfortunately could not attend the wedding evening party due to being flooded in on the 31st. Luckily for us the cottage provided a great party area for us to celebrate New Year. The only comment for us would be the upstairs bedroom sizes and only 3 bathrooms. It did take some careful planning for eleven adults to get ready. Beautiful area for walking despite the rain.

Fantastic location and accommodation

I was looking for group accommodation to celebrate my ‘big’ birthday with friends. I couldn’t have chosen anywhere better than The Old Stables. From the moment we arrived it was so relaxing. The owner popped by to say hello and offer any advice we needed which was nice. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well maintained both indoors and out in the garden. There was a great fire pit with enough seating for all guests, along with a wood fired pizza oven and barbecue. The location is peaceful without being too remote. I like to offer an honest review of any place that we have stayed and have been thinking of any negatives of our stay but honestly there were none! Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.

A great family place

This was a family holiday with the age of people ranging from 6 months to 77. The cottage was clean when we arrived and very well equipped, especially in the kitchen. Having tea, coffee, condiments, hand soap, tin foil, cling film, towels, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets was such a great help. The outdoor area and facilities were fantastic, the tennis court was a real hit as was the bbq and pizza oven. The garden space was brilliant for outdoor games and relaxation. We had a slight issue with the water temperature but this was quickly sorted out by Kendall. If we were to make a suggestion, it would be to put a handrail on the outdoor steps as my mum found it difficult getting up and down. The couches in the lounge were also a bit tired but none of this detracted from us having a wonderful time.

Very enjoyable stay - highly recommended

The Old Stables is well equipped and extremely comfortable particularly for families as there is a tennis court and a big garden - the dogs loved it! Good central base for Blackpool and the Fylde coast and we also headed the other direction to Clitheroe Castle. Highly recommended for families and dogs we really enjoyed our stay.

Seek and you will eventually find!

A lovely laid out cottage with some great facilities, Easily accommodated 12 adults and a toddler both inside and out for a weekend of celebrating! The cottage is dog friendly, which was a little noticeable on arrival as we’re not dog owners and some of the beds are a tad squeaky but other than that a great time was had by all! Check out the location before embarking on your journey, as warned by the owners, Sat Nav is very hit & miss!

Great place for large party

We had a large family party in Old Stables along with Partridge Cottage. The living space downstairs was ideal for a large group with the living area, kitchen area, dining area and conservatory. It never felt crowded. Christmas decorations and lights were up and with the log burner they made a cosy atmosphere on a damp December day. We didn't use the outside area but could imagine everyone sitting round the firepit, cooking on BBQ and pizza oven on a lovely summer's evening.The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses and cutlery. 3 bathrooms to 6 bedrooms meant there was no squabbling for use of the bathroom.

Lovely cottage to gather family and friends

The Old Stables cottage is very well set up for large numbers: space, crockery, seating. The garden is huge and would be a real asset in good weather. The outdoor kitchen space and fire pit offers a fun, informal space to combine eating and playing. The only downside could be the bathroom capacity: with only two showers, there is potential for a traffic jam at peak times. Lovely location and very helpful owners. Highly recommend.

Brilliant place for a family break

This was our third visit to Barnacre and we had an amazing time. It's the perfect location for a family get together (or any short break!) and the improvements made over lockdown have made it even more perfect. Pizza ovens, fire pits, tennis courts, playgrounds, lots of space to runaround inside and out... the list could go on. Don't hesitate to book a break here, you won't regret it.
