It is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and is perfect for a couple looking for a comfortable base from which to explore all that the area has to offer.

The property is located in the small hamlet of Whitechapel at the foot of Beacon Fell.

The university town of Lancaster, is 17 miles, with its aqueduct and castle. Preston, 10 miles away, has many shops and a mainline train station for London and Glasgow.

For those who enjoy the seaside, the Fylde Coast, with popular resorts including Blackpool with its beach, piers, pleasure beach and famous tower, and Lytham St Annes, is just 25 miles away. The Lake District can be reached in under an hour and the Yorkshire Dales in about one and a half hours, making this the ideal touring base. Local markets and farm tea shops abound or relax in a cosy local pub to enjoy Lancashire food and drink. Shop and restaurant 3 miles, pub 1 mile, family church 1 mile.

We keep returning because the barn conversion suits us.

We keep returning because the barn conversion suits us. It is secluded enough for peace and quiet, but within easy distance of shops , pubs, Villages, towns and, should you feel the need, (though we don’t) cities Blackpool, Preston, Manchester, Liverpool. Modern, clean, well equipped, comfortable and warm. Owners genuinely want you to enjoy your break, and are friendly and amenable without intruding.

This was a perfect holiday.

This was a perfect holiday. The cottage is remote enough to enjoy peace, quietness and privacy but also close enough to local shops and the wonderful places of interest in Lancashire. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful but at the same time very keen to allow us our own space. I can't speak highly enough of them.

Just had a great relaxing week at the five Barred Gate Barn.

Just had a great relaxing week at the five Barred Gate Barn. The barn has been converted to a very high standard with one of the comfiest beds I've slept in and a great shower. Visited by hares & pheasants most days. Weather was perfect so also took advantage of the supplied barbecue and the outdoor furniture. Appreciated the welcome pack and also a visit from the owner to make sure everything was OK. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

A superb cottage for a relaxing break.

A superb cottage for a relaxing break. Everything I would expect was provided. Superbly decorated and furnished. Well insulated and central heating provided, so I did not need to use the log fire in February. Access to Beacon Fell Country Park is within a short driving, or walking distance. Miles of walking trails close by, and access to local stores is less than 15 minutes drive. A visit to Barton Grange Garden Centre provides opportunities to buy local produce, to have an excellent meal, and wander through the many different departments. The owners of the cottage were so helpful and offered excellent guidance and advice about the local attractions.
