About Us!
Hidden Fell Escapes is part of a proud farming tradition that spans three generations here on Jeffrey Hill, in the heart of Lancashire’s Forest of Bowland. While we’re no longer dairy farming in a big way, our working farm remains full of life — home to 16,000 free-range chickens and a “bed and breakfast” for cows who come to winter with us.
At the heart of it all is The Granary — once a stone barn, now lovingly transformed into a warm and welcoming space for catering, workshops, and creative events. It’s here that our story of food and friendship truly comes to life, filled each week with laughter, local ingredients, and a generous helping of imagination.
Annie’s catering journey began in 2021 and has grown into a thriving local business, proudly employing a talented team from the surrounding area. Hospitality runs deep in her family — her grandparents were in the trade too — and this next chapter brings everything full circle: a lifetime of hosting, cooking, and caring for people, now poured into Hidden Fell Escapes.
From our fields to your table, from handmade huts to hearty food, we hope to offer not just a stay, but an experience — one rooted in authenticity, comfort, and the kind of rural welcome that only comes from a true family farm.
We think — and hope — we can offer you the best stay.

Staying at Hidden Fell Escapes
One such local gem is The Lovely Cow Shed, our onsite catering and events business born from resilience and passion. Founded in April 2021, it began during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. After losing both my best friend and my job, I found healing and purpose through food. A simple grazing table shared with family sparked overwhelming support from my café customers on Facebook—and that spark grew into something more.
Today, The Lovely Cow Shed operates from a commercial kitchen on our family farm in Thornley, complete with a beautiful adjoining workshop. Named in loving memory of my husband’s cherished 20-year-old dairy cow, Lovely, the business is a tribute to her and the strong sense of community that surrounds us.
Enjoy thoughtfully curated grazing tables, catered workshops, and special events—all crafted with love, local produce, and a touch of country magic.
Come for the calm. Stay for the creativity. Return for the food.
