Positives - hosts were very nice & helpful. Arranged for our grandchildren to feed the alpacas on Christmas Eve. Property was warm & lots of hot water. Negatives - when you approached it was like driving into a builders yard. There were piles of rubbish & debris all over. Outside The Den was very uncared for - weeds.moss & leaves all over so very slippy under foot. It needs a good tidy up. First impressions are important & it wasn’t a good one !

A nice place that is great for a single person or couple, and with smaller children if you have them! Well stocked on all that you need.

Comfy and cosy. Appreciated milk left for us as we didn't know if any shops nearby (no none) We came by public transport as car was in for repair so couldn't pack food. but got a taxi to the restaurant we were visiting. If we visit again we will come by car as think it is necessary, We had a good stay on the whole and the Alpacas were really sweet.

Tucked away stay. Simple & clean space. Warm & comfortable with all you need for a short stay.

10.0 / 10.0

For a variety of reasons, we had to delay any trip until a couple of days before the bank holiday. Additionally many places accepting pets restrict it to dogs and we have a house cat who we had to bring. Most areas had nothing left, for a short weekend break or prices were into the thousands. However we struck lucky in finding Doal's Farm. Owner Paul was fantastic in his speedy responses, confirming availability, acceptance of cats and fitting in with some personal restrictions we placed on him. Price wise it more than fitted in with what we were looking for. With travel problems our ETA kept changing but on our late arrival Paul was waiting with a pleasant welcome , taking us into the property. Some nice treats awaited us, and the cat which was a pleasant surprise. The property is small but perfectly laid out, making good use of all space and is extremely comfortable.We had no problems at all. As for items provided everything you could need was there including. to our surprise, as we had some stir fry items with us we were going to cook in a frying pan, an actual wok which more than did the job. It is only 5 minutes drive to the centre of Bacup too. Our one regret was we were unable to take up the offer of feeding the alpacas given our short visit. If we are looking for a future break in the area again we will certainly check this cottage first.

Ideal accommodation located for exploring the Bacup area and beyond, great for walkers and those who generally enjoy the great outdoors. The owners couldn't do enough to help and the best part was being invited to help feed their pet Alpacas.

Not like photos. Property surrounded with high weeds and nettles. Frontage bad with weeds and rubbish.

10.0 / 10.0

We arrived a little later than planned but Paul was waiting for us with the key. He showed us around and was friendly and helpful. The Den is small but had everything we needed for a couple of nights. Everything worked except we had trouble getting a signal for the TV, possibly due to the constant rain. We would definitely stay there again when visiting family in the area.

10.0 / 10.0

Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. Meeting the alpacas and being taught more about their care needs was the icing on top of the cake. Lovely location, with a beautiful field just across the road to walk your dogs. I love how pet-friendly the property is. The owners also went above and beyond and strimmed back a piece of land for my dog to wander on. The check in was simple, and it was so lovely to find dog bowls and treats for them upon our arrival, alongside coffee, milk, sugar, tea bags and cookies for us adults.

8.0 / 10.0

The Den was a great place to stay while my wife, daughter and I were visiting friends in Rochdale and Prestwich. Paul was a great host, and provided everything we required for our two year old daughter to make our stay a home from home. Would definitely stay again.

The Den is a very cosy quiet place, the perfect getaway. Paul and his family are really nice people, and they make you feel welcome. Paul let me and my family feed the alpacas, my daughter loved it. Brilliant place would highly recommend. 😀

Lovely little place and just what we wanted/needed. There were a few fireworks let off in the distance but far enough away not to trouble my dog too much. Would certainly stay again.

Tina and Paul are so sweet and inviting. They made me feel welcome from the get go. I had an emergency come up and had to postpone my stay for 6 weeks and they were very accommodating in switching the dates for me. The apartment was lovely and there's plenty of space to move around. The bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed. The outside felt like a rural area with the alpacas and acres of fields and was very quiet and peaceful. My friend and I loved visiting and feeding the alpacas. Tina and Paul answered our countless questions about the alpacas with patience and kindness. I would recommend anyone to stay here if in the area!

We stayed only 1 night of our 5 night reservation. The yard outside is littered with junk and weeds. The bed is very uncomfortable. The room smells strongly musty. The washer and dryer do not work properly. Is there a place to post a photo? This place should not be among your listings. Refund requested.

1.0 / 10.0

We booked the den, hoping to get our two autistic teens out of the house for a bit of a break and to see the alpacas. From the moment we arrive it was untidy, there are weeds and junk everywhere. The pictures showed an outdoor sitting area and there was no such thing. The place was dirty and smelled musty. The cooker didn't work, the airbed had a puncture and the sofa bed was very small and uncomfortable. The only positive is that the owner was very polite and there was tea, coffee and Milk, however I will not be returning.

Little gem in the making

Little gem in the making

The owners were lovely. Very welcoming and friendly. Amazingly accommodating of my dogs. Was quite disappointed there wasn't a patio area as shown in the pictures and as they were in the process of refurbishment with the next property there were quite a lot of excess materials around. The Alpachas were lovely and it was really nice of the owners to let us meet them. The amenities inside the property were great and very comfortable

Internal accommodation fine, property surrounds not so good.

Internal accommodation fine, property surrounds not so good.

I'm going to split this in to two parts. Firstly, the internal elements of the property (services/cleanliness/state of repair/etc.) were fine and in line with the description published. There was a minor shortfall in that the oven retained some residue/burnt on residue from a previous occupancy/use but was easily cleaned so as I say minor. As the primary need for the property centred on this, the stay is considered as satisfactory. The second part was the surrounds of the property. Whilst the owner advised in advance (after final payment was made) of some "repairs" were ongoing, the extent wasn't made clear. On arrival, it was found that the property was surrounded on three sides by scaffolding, scaffold clamps and other debris were noted, and there was a general state of untidiness from a variety of discarded odds and ends. The work we were advised verbally had been ongoing for some 18 months, so I've no doubt was as much a problem for the property owners as anything, but I do feel this was critical information that should have been made known very much in advance. The scaffolding was removed on the morning of the final full day of our stay. No warning of the activity was given so it was a little disconcerting for people to suddenly appear around the windows of the property, but fortunately nothing to cause embarrassment. The only difficulty really was that with the work, exit from the property on to the main road was impossible until the accompanying lorry exited. The aftermath of the scaffolding being removed left a trail of lights obstructing the main door. I eventually found a way of securing these to leave a relatively clear path, but do feel that the owners should have made check to make good anything like this once the scaffolding was gone.

Peaceful Getaway with Alpaca Bonus

Peaceful Getaway with Alpaca Bonus

This was exactly what we hoped for as a Christmas getaway. Quiet, everything we needed at hand, close to good outdoor walks with our dogs (and close enough to walk the grounds at Shibden Hall in Halifax), friendly hosts who were there if we needed & unobtrusive otherwise. And of course, helping to feed the alpacas!

Alpaca my suitcase to return!

I took my partner on this little getaway, as an over night trip for her Birthday. I'd spoken with Paul, the owner in the run up to the trip and organised it with him that we could feed their friendly Alpacas! Which was a great experience and really made our trip. Paul was very open and advised that there was scaffolding up on the property as they were having some work done but that it would not affect our stay and that it was just purely aesthetic. They were very accomodating and helpful, advised us of local eateries. There's also a little guidebook for the appliances,shower,heating etc. That proved handy. All in all it was a lovely stay, with great character. We will return with our four legged children in the future - and highly recommend the stay to anyone. Jay & Beckie.

A well thought out pied a terre that really ticked all the boxes. Hosts were very welcoming and were only a stone’s throw if we needed anything. Surroundings were very peaceful and the lovely Anna’s coffee shop/bar/restaurant was only a very short walk away. Highlight was feeding the alpaca’s and definitely worth a repeat visit.

The Den is the perfect little get away. Paul and Tina were so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We travelled with our 6 month old & wow without asking they had us covered there with anything we would need from a baby bath to a travel cot. Sits on a lovely little farm out of the way with stunning views just on the door step. Will be back sometime in the future

Perfect Break

We had a wonderful 2 nights staying in The Den. Paul was the perfect host. He made us feel welcome, but didn't bother us at all and we had a very relaxing stay. We were able to go to our mother's memorial service and we even brought our crazy dog with us. We would recommend booking The Den to all those looking for a peaceful break or holiday in the lovely Lancashire countryside. Thank you again Paul and Tina!
