This 4-bedroom group barn is a converted stone building sitting on the edge of Healey Dell Nature Reserve in Rochdale, Lancashire. This is a solid choice for groups wanting a countryside base with genuine character and easy access to the Pennines. The property sleeps larger groups and sits within a genuinely peaceful rural setting despite being minutes from town.
The surrounding area is Lancashire mill town countryside at its best. The Dell itself is a wooded gorge with a Victorian viaduct, walking trails and a fast-flowing river. It feels remote but Rochdale town centre is under 3 miles away.
The accommodation is spread across a stone property with multiple bedrooms sleeping groups comfortably.
