Is Foxes Den Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The barn's rural location gives children space to explore the Lancashire countryside safely. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is just 15 minutes away with rides and attractions for all ages. Martin Mere Wetland Centre offers nature trails and wildlife watching 20 minutes from the barn. The beaches at Lytham and Blackpool provide seaside fun within easy reach for bucket and spade days.
Groups Will Love...
The exposed timber beams are the standout feature at Foxes Den. Original oak framework runs across the ceilings throughout the barn, creating authentic agricultural character. These structural beams have been carefully preserved during conversion and now form a striking feature in the living spaces. Combined with the traditional stone walls, they give the barn genuine historical presence and warmth that modern builds simply cannot replicate.
Pet Friendly
No, Foxes Den does not accept pets. The owners operate a strict no-pet policy for all guests staying at the barn conversion. Whilst the rural Lancashire setting and surrounding farmland would be perfect for dog walks, you'll need to make alternative arrangements for your pets. The countryside location offers fields and footpaths nearby, but unfortunately dogs cannot stay at this particular property.
