We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful accommodation. The owners have thought of everything and it's a pleasure to stay somewhere which is a home from home. The kitchen is so well equipped, with top of the range appliances. The bathroom is lovely with an amazing shower! A really comfortable home and spotlessly clean. The garden is beautiful and so well presented. A lovely welcome pack, thank you. We stay in many cottages throughout the year and it really stands out when owners go that little extra mile! We had a really lovely time and couldnt fault this gem of a place. The location is great with lovely walks into the centre of Garstang. Would highly recommend, we didnt want to leave!

The welcome pack was a lovely and much appreciated touch Kitchen is very well equipped (although no cling film or foil so you would need to bring your own). Pleasantly surprised to see a tumble dryer which although we didnât need this time, would be useful if the weather was wet. Again, couldnât find any washing liquid or powder so you would need to bring your own. Bathroom is modern and water pressure in shower is excellent The garden is a lovely spot to enjoy a bit of sunshine (we were super lucky with the weather!) Bedrooms large and more than enough wardrobe / cupboard space Minor points for improvement in our opinion: As others have said the towels are tiny! I'm a size 6 and I just about managed but my poor husband struggled! Probably needs bath sheets rather than bath towels Plants absolutely everywhere covering surfaces making them unusable (side tables, dining tables, bedrooms even in the bathroom). A few are nice but this was a bit overkill! Finally the property is advertised as pet friendly but the sofa in the living room is velvet. We kept our dog off the furniture as instructed however were super paranoid about any hairs getting on the fabric. I would have relaxed more if it was a leather type sofa These are however minor negatives and wouldnât stop us returning. The owners clearly take a lot of pride in the property and it shows. Thanks for a lovely stay!

It has been tastefully modernised with quality furniture and up to date appliances. There is a spacious shower cubicle in the bathroom which we liked, and a small wash basin which we didn't. There is a very tidy and spacious garden for sitting out (when the weather permits!). Drivers have to be careful when entering and leaving the drive - the entrance is rather narrow. Overall we can confidently recommend this holiday home.
