1 / 15The Elliotts
Anderton, Lancashire
A barn conversion for two down a private lane at Anderton, with a wood burner, a private hot tub and an enclosed side garden, two dogs welcome.
Down a private lane on the owners' farm, within the grounds of the Anderton Centre, The Elliotts is a barn conversion that welcomes a couple and their two dogs on a dog friendly romantic getaway. It is spacious and stylish, with a wood burner in the lounge, a private hot tub on the patio and an enclosed side garden for the dogs to explore the moment the car doors open.
Inside, one light open plan room holds the lounge, the kitchen and the diner, with a built in dining table set between the cooking and the sitting, and double doors out to the patio. The kitchen is well fitted for a proper three course dinner, the Nespresso machine sees to the mornings, and the dogs curl up near the wood burner as the first coffee brews.
Along the corridor, the double bedroom has patio doors opening out towards the countryside, and the bathroom is spacious, holding a bath and its own separate shower. Dressing gowns and slippers are waiting. Outside, the patio has furniture, a fire pit and a charcoal barbecue beside the hot tub, and the evenings arrange themselves around it: fire lit, tub warm, two contented dogs stretched out close by.
This is fine country for walkers and cyclists, and dogs will be glad of every mile of it. The Anderton Centre books water sports and outdoor activities on site, the taproom at Rivington Brewery Company is a short stroll for a fresh pint, and Go Ape is 1 mile away. Chorley, a market town with independent shops, cafes and restaurants, is within 4 miles, and for a day by the sea, Southport and Lytham are each a short drive.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Elliotts dog friendly?
The Elliotts is set up specifically with dogs in mind — up to two are welcome, and the space is designed so they're with you rather than shut away. The bedroom opens straight out onto the countryside, and there's a small enclosed side garden where dogs can be left safely while you eat.
Are dogs allowed at The Elliotts year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, and as a private retreat on a working farm it's available as a year-round escape. It's worth checking directly with the owners when you book to confirm availability for your dates.
What should I know before visiting The Elliotts with my dog?
The Elliotts sits on a working farm, so there is livestock around and dogs must be kept on a lead between the lane and the front door. Once inside, the enclosed side garden gives them a safe space to be off lead, and the wider countryside around Rivington and Anglezarke is right on the doorstep for proper walks.
