An Airbnb described as the “perfect getaway from city life” offers guests the chance to sleep in a former farm office with stunning views across Lancashire.
The Old Farm Office at Cronkshaw Fold Farm is a self-catering hut next to the farm lane with panoramic views over the Valley of Rossendale. Guests can chill in the hammock on the veranda, curl up on the sofa in front of the fire or cosy up in bed under the feather duvet.
With an overall rating of 4.92 the Old Farm Office is one of the top-rated properties on Airbnb and guests can even pay to spend the day with the farmer feeding the animals, collecting eggs, checking the sheep and haying up the goats.

One guest wrote: “It was a nice get away from the city life! Really rustic living at this farm, exactly what we needed! The fireplace was an amazing addition to the peaceful surroundings.”
A couple who stayed on New Year’s Eve posted: “We spent a lovely cosy New Year’s Eve in the old farm office. It had everything we needed just for a night and the furnishings were comfy. The view out of the big window was lovely and we could see some fireworks going off below us which was fun.”
Although the hut doesn’t have running water or a TV there is the added extra option of a private hot tub with an outdoor shower for £38 for two hours. Guests can also buy a box of freshly-laid rainbow eggs for £2.
The hut also has a wood burner and an electric heater. The host will also leave hot flannel wash kits and a cool box containing ice packs.

Cronkshaw Fold Farm also offers guests the chance to sleep in their very own treehouse with hammocks positioned underneath the tree next to the chiminea.
