Country Holiday Homes in Blackpool
Escape to the heart of the Lancashire countryside with Shepherds Barn, one of the most charming countryside cottages in Blackpool. Nestled within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our beautifully restored barn offers the perfect setting for those seeking peace, comfort, and the slow rhythm of rural life.
Located on the Longton family’s working farm in the Quernmore Valley, Shepherds Barn blends traditional country charm with the modern comforts of a self-catering stay. Inside, you’ll find three spacious en-suite bedrooms, a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, and a welcoming lounge perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the countryside. Every detail — from the rustic beams to the soft furnishings — reflects the warmth and authenticity of traditional Lancashire living.
Guests can enjoy uninterrupted views across rolling hills and open farmland, take long walks through nearby trails, or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. For something truly unique, owner Thomas Longton, an award-winning shepherd, offers guests the opportunity to watch or even take part in sheepdog training sessions, creating a memorable insight into the life of a working farm.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family getaway, or a quiet weekend retreat, Shepherds Barn provides everything you need for an unforgettable countryside stay. With its serene location, luxury touches, and welcoming atmosphere, it’s more than just a cottage — it’s a true reflection of life in rural Lancashire.
