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.

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.

Alpacas are sweet

Comfy and cosy. Appreciated milk left for us as we didn't know if any shops nearby (no none) We came by public transport as car was in for repair so couldn't pack food. but got a taxi to the restaurant we were visiting. If we visit again we will come by car as think it is necessary, We had a good stay on the whole and the Alpacas were really sweet.

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.

The Den

Positives - hosts were very nice & helpful. Arranged for our grandchildren to feed the alpacas on Christmas Eve. Property was warm & lots of hot water. Negatives - when you approached it was like driving into a builders yard. There were piles of rubbish & debris all over. Outside The Den was very uncared for - weeds.moss & leaves all over so very slippy under foot. It needs a good tidy up. First impressions are important & it wasn’t a good one !

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.

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.

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!

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
