Ox Hey Barn, Lancashire

Ox Hey Barn is a stunning stone barn conversion in Lancashire, sitting proudly between the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales. This spacious retreat offers incredible countryside views and sleeps up to 11 people across five bedrooms. Perfect for family gatherings where you want enough space to avoid killing each other after day three.

The property sits in peaceful countryside just 2 miles from Sawley. From here, you can explore Gisburn Forest's walking trails or visit historic Clitheroe with its Norman castle. The outdoor hot tub is perfect for evening relaxation - nothing says "I'm on holiday" like sipping prosecco while partially naked outdoors with your loved ones.

Accommodation includes five bedrooms, most with super king-size zip/link beds offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Four bedrooms have en-suite facilities. The ground floor bedroom is ideal for guests with mobility issues. The open-plan living area features a woodburning stove, while the external games room comes with a pool table and bar - because what's a family holiday without competitive drinking games?

Nearby attractions include Malham Cove (30 minutes), the Forest of Bowland AONB (15 minutes), Clitheroe Castle (20 minutes) and the Settle-Carlisle Railway (25 minutes) - one of Britain's most scenic rail journeys.

Ox Hey Barn offers luxury without pretension. It's ideal for multi-generational family gatherings or friend reunions where memories are made around the dinner table, in the hot tub, or fighting over who gets the last beer from one of the three fridges.
