Hydes farm self-catering holiday cottages are set in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire, on the edge of the Beautiful village of Newton in Bowland in the Hodder Valley.
Each cottage is ideal for short breaks or holiday getaways, whether you're looking for a romantic escape or a family holiday in the countryside.
One of the self catering cottages is pet / dog friendly [The Shippon], while the other cottage accommodation [Low Barn] is reserved for those of us with two legs only!
Both cottages have been converted from redundant farm buildings and are situated on a small working farm. You are surrounded by the rugged fells which give the marvellous countryside views, so activities such as walking, cycling, bird watching and fishing are a real pleasure. Alternatively tour the areas close to us including the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland. As well as Newton in Bowland, you can visit the other idyllic villages in and around the Hodder Valley, such as Slaidburn, Chipping, Wigglesworth, Bolton by Bowland, Dunsop Bridge, Waddington and Downham.
