A Pretty Stone-Built Farmhouse Retreat Beside a Babbling Brook
Situated in the peaceful hamlet of Harrop Fold, just three miles from Bolton-by-Bowland, this stone-built conversion offers an idyllic Ribble Valley riverside holiday cottage experience. Positioned on the gable end of a traditional original farmhouse, this romantic retreat blends historic character with scenic serenity, placing you in the heart of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (formerly AONB) and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Adrenaline seekers will find Gisburn Forest’s world-class mountain bike trails just a 15-minute drive away, while food lovers can explore the Ribble Valley’s famed culinary scene, home to some of Lancashire’s finest gastropubs and award-winning dining inns.
