Short, sweet and great VFM
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.

Self catering dog friendly den.
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.

Nice little place to stay
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.

A hidden gem
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.

Great base for our holiday
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.

Fireworks getaway for the dog.
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.

Lovely, welcoming owners
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!

Terrible place
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.

Don't waste your money!
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
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.
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
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.
