Escape into the wilds of the Forest of Bowland at this handcrafted glamping lodge made for two. Spend quiet afternoons soaking in the hot tub with rolling countryside all around, warm up beside the wood burner as evening draws in, and enjoy a digital detox in the heart of Lancashire.
A light-flooded hideaway greets you inside, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing dramatic valley views from the rustic lounge/kitchenette. Whip up something tasty using the indoor appliances or fire up the BBQ, then carry plates and glasses onto the decking for an alfresco feast as the sun slips behind the hills. Sink into the hot tub beneath the evening sky before retreating to the inviting king-size bedroom, where you can wake to those same sweeping views. Roll out of bed, brew a strong coffee and curl up beside the wood burner while planning another day out in the wild.
With the fells and twisting valleys of the Forest of Bowland all around, this hideaway is made for pulling on your boots and heading straight outdoors. Follow waterside paths around Stocks Reservoir, stopping at the wildlife hides along the way, or tackle Easington Fell for a tougher climb and far-reaching views from the top. The Hodder Valley is close by too, with riverside trails threading through the countryside. Pick up picnic supplies in Newton-in-Bowland (2.5 miles), then venture to Clitheroe (10 miles) for its three-day-a-week market, independent shops and 12th-century castle. For a longer day out, head to Skipton (23 miles), the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
