The Boskins - a holiday cottage at Cobden Farm

Our former barn, dating back to the 1700s, is now a lovely home for our eldest daughter and her family – and also a self-contained holiday cottage for visitors to our area.

The Boskins combines historic with 21^st Century to offer the best of both worlds.

The cottage was once our ‘back shippon’ where, in days gone by, six cows were milked and where hay was stored on the ‘baulks’ above.

Each cow was tethered to a boskin by a soft cotton rope prior to milking...so the cottage’s name was easily chosen!

Cobden Farm B and B website

We are on the hillside that looks across Sabden Valley, to Pendle Hill, famous for the Lancashire Witches.

We are very rural but close to the motorway, rail and airport network, so handy for holiday or business visitors.

You can find out more about Cobden Farm Bed and Breakfast by going to our website at: www.cobdenfarm.co.uk

Breakfast is served in the conservatory overlooking our wildlife pond and across Sabden Valley to the lower end of Pendle Hill.

Both en-suite rooms look out onto fields where our sheep graze. They have been known to graze in our garden. But that's another story.

Babies and children are most welcome - we have available a travel cot, a fold-up bed, highchair, baby walker as well as toys to entertain them.

And there are freshly made scones with butter and jam waiting for you in your room when you arrive.

Well-behaved dogs are also welcome. And we have 'guest' packs for them.
