"We had a 2 night stay and we couldn’t make use of the facilities as the hot tub was not in use it was only half full the filled it up but wasn’t hot enough to use so our plans that evening where ruined so we just sat in-font of the tv with nothing to do."
The lodge was generally nice there was thick cobwebs in the kitchen on curtain polls. They could also get some new bedding it’s quite thin and pillows are thin and lumpy
-
"We had a fantastic long weekend at the lodge – it’s an excellent place with great facilities."
We thoroughly enjoyed our pre-Christmas break here. The huge TV and sound system were brilliant for movie nights, the hot tub was spotless, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your feedback. It is really appreciated. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hayley Property Owner

"Lovely stay and the lodge was cozy."
However we were slightly disappointed that there was no tea, coffee and milk on arrival. There was also no instructions on how to use the kitchen appliances, or other equipment.
Thank you for your feedback. Hayley Property Owner

"Amazing loved it will defo be goig back loved the scenery hot tub garden centre"
Thank you for you lovely feedback. Hayley Property Owner

"Loved our short stay at Henry Haven, very comfortable and well appointed, everything you could need."
The Hot tub was the main reason we booked, after a bit of jiggling round the outdoor furniture, for privacy, we felt private but could look out onto the lake at the side of the property. The access drive you can see, is just to your property, so no one is passing by. It was a peaceful location, you need a car really, but if you are into walking, not too far into Garstang. Highly recommend, perfect for couples, would stay every month if we could afford it, was perfect, can’t wait to go again!!

"Amazing lodge!"
Very private and hot tub was tucked away so no one could see when you took the lid off. Very comfy bed and sofa! Very spacious. There is Bluetooth speaker built into the ceiling which we didn’t discover until our last night but was amazing when we found it.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon. Hayley Property Owner

"We are just home after spending 5 nights here and we were totally blown away."
The cabin is absolutely stunning and immaculately clean, the owner has literally thought of everything and the decor is beautiful. Beds were super comfortable, hot tub was fantastic and the location is like a little piece of heaven. I'm already missing waking up the ducks and ducklings in the pond right outside the cabin. We had frequent visits from little Roxy the dog who we are all totally in love with and she made the stay really special especially for my young daughter. We stay in a cabin every year and this is by far the best one so far. So quiet and tranquil and everything you could ever want for a peaceful break away from the daily grind. The only negative part was having to leave. Thank you so much Hayley we will definitely be back. Nikki x
Thank you so much for taking the time to right this feedback. It means so much to us. Please come back and visit us again. Hayley. Property Owner

"Really lovely lodge in a beautiful peaceful location."
Partner impressed with the 4k TV. I loved watching the wildlife. We all enjoyed the hot tub. Was a really relaxing break, which is what we'd hoped for.
Thank you for your feedback it means a great deal to us. Hope to welcome you back soon. Hayley Property Owner

"Amazing location, log cabin was beautiful really clean had everything we needed."
Only slight issue was the heating the first day we never had any hot water or heating and couldn’t have a shower, then the second day the water completely went off for about an hour and again we couldn’t have a shower and was delayed going out. Overall good stay.
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased the issue you had with the gas bottle change over did not take the shine off your holiday. Hayley Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our weeks stay at the bowers."
Everything was perfect and certainly the best cottage we have stayed at. The touching Anniversary balloon was a nice gesture as it was our golden wedding anniversary the day we arrived.Roxy the dog was an added bonus as it kept coming to meet us when we arrived back after a day out. We will definitely be returning
Thank you for your very kind feedback. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us on your special anniversary. It will be lovely to welcome you back soon. Hayley Property Owner

"Stayed Jan 2024."
3 Guests. Overall the accommodation was what we expected in that it was well presented, clean and tidy. Great location. We rated the stay 4 star due to the following: Upon arrival accommodation was very cold, the heating was off. There are typed instructions for a number of things but the heating wasn’t one of them. 3 guests and only 1 towel for the hot tub. No steps provided to gain access to the hot tub. No toilet roll holders in either bathroom. Only one bath towel. Only one toilet roll. No shower mat. Remote control for NETFLIX was broken. (Not required though) No instructions for operation of TV. No welcome pack, i.e. Tea/Coffee and milk. (Wouldn’t mind paying an additional fee for that) These little things make the difference. We would definitely use Sykes again, but would expect to see those minor details addressed. Attention to detail makes a more memorable vacation.
Thank you for your feedback. It helps us to improve and keep on top of things. Hayley Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our time there, it was very peaceful and relaxing."
The lodge is warm, bright, and has all the equipment and facilities one would expect, plus a superb blue-tooth sound system. The hot-tub is clean and obviously well maintained. The bed is very comfortable and the shower provide plenty of hot water. The only negative point is that we didn't find the sofa very comfortable (but this might be more to do with us than the sofa).
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Hayley Property Owner

"After a bad experience is another stay we found the Bowers and booked last minute in a desperate attempt to get our break back on track!"
We both really enjoyed the peaceful stay at the Bowers & the lodge was impeccably clean & facilities spot on. Very comfortable bed, warm, good wifi & great hot tub! Would recommend to anyone and will be to my family!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Chris we’d love to have you back soon. Hayley Property Owner

"Had a great stay at the bowers."
The lodge was really modern, loads of unexpected amenities (Bluetooth, nespresso machine, hotel chocolat velvetiser, fully stocked kitchen). Scenic location, really comfortable and welcoming. Would definitely stay again! We stayed for our daughters birthday and the owner arranged for decorations and balloons on arrival for us. Really went above and beyond
Thanks for this lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Hayley Property Owner

"This holiday lodge is really 5*."
Well fitted out with everything you need. It is in a beautiful quiet location overlooking a lake with ducks, ducklings and other wildlife. We found it spotlessly clean. Very convenient for Garstang and getting to the coast. Lots of pubs around with good food. Local supermarkets nearby. This was our second visit and hope it won’t be the last. Bernard and Joan
Thank you both for returning to our lodge. We’d love to have you back again soon. Hayley Property Owner

"Great location with local shops pubs and takeaways only a couple of minutes drive and Blackpool was only a 25-minute drive away which was perfect as we had children to entertain during the day."
The lodge itself was beautiful and to a very high standard and the setting was just perfect so relaxing especially when soaking in the hot tub at night. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxing quiet peaceful break.
Thank you for this lovely feedback. Hayley. Property Owner

"This property is absolutely gorgeous."
High finishes throughout. The darkened glass is amazing. The view is also just stunning with the ponds day and night. Ducks, geese family and many more. Also a cute dog called Roxy who we all adore. The hot tub was just perfect and well located. 10 out of 10. Ww would not hesitate to recommend this property and we will certainly return to it.

"This was our second visit to the bowers as it’s Fantastic and everything you need is included."
The Hot tub was great for relaxing at night and being able to sit on the decking and watch the ducks and geese in the pond was lovely.

"It was a nice cottage, and we truly enjoyed it; however, they had some issues."
When we arrived, there was no toilet paper and hand wash and there wasn’t shopped close to us, and we drove around 20 to buy everything. The next day we tried to make coffee there were no capsules and also milkshakes didn’t work, so during the whole our stay we bought coffee from outside. Another issue which we had there were only 2 towels and there was no washing machine which we can wash our towels and use them again.

"Just left from a week here over Christmas."
This was the best home from home holiday. It had everything you could need. Somewhere to completely relax, just what we wanted over the Christmas period. Very clean and lovely furnishings. Only downside was, we was expecting Sky TV as advertised so my Husband could watch boxing day football.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m so glad you loved our lodge. I am terribly sorry the listing said sky tv. It still said it after I asked for it to be removed. It is rectified now. I understand this would have been frustrating. Hayley Property Owner

"We booked this lodge for 2 nights for my friends 21st birthday as a surprise and we were just as surprised ourselves, what a truly stunning place!"
You walk in through the front door into an open plan kitchen/living room that has such a warm atmosphere, plenty windows for those amazing views! The bedrooms were nice and spacious and the bath rooms too, may I add how modern and classy they were. Also plenty of kitchen utensils which came in handy for the full English the next day and they even had salt and pepper which was a LIFESAVER and so many other things you could possibly need and more. The hot tub was fantastic, so lovely to relax in with a nice cocktail, they even had speakers in the ceiling in both the bedroom and kitchen/living room which was a very cool feature but the best thing of all by far had to be the views and the pond!! It’s so beautiful and almost mesmerising, sitting having your cup of tea on a morning watching the little ducklings swim around, it was honestly brilliant! We can’t fault the lodge one bit, impeccably clean! Everything about it was perfect including the little pup on the land, she was a charm and a pleasure to give plenty hugs and kisses to! And the instructions on how to enter the lodge etc was straight forward and super easy, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will most certainly be returning! Can’t recommend this place enough :) 10/10 and more!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Roxy loved all the cuddles. Please come back again soon. Hayley. Property Owner

"The property was definitely 5*."
It was in a quiet private location overlooking 2 small lakes. We spent time sitting out on the patio in the comfortable outside furniture watching the ducks. Luxuriously furnished and very well equipped. Handy for local pubs, garden centre, farm shop, cheese factory and travelling further afield. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it to others.

"The Retreat is so peaceful and relaxing."
The lodge is very well designed, it’s really comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need for a week away. The sofa area is so relaxing and it’s like a cinema room with the huge tv. The hot tub was a haven after a days walking but one of my favourite times at the lodge was sitting on the veranda in the morning with a coffee enjoying the peace and quiet and the views across the fields, perfect bliss!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Rachel, it means the world to us. Hayley Property Owner

"Great location."
Not sure white carpets in a rental property is sensible. Construction on our doorstep, saws and drills going off each morning meant a lie-in wasn't an option. The free standing bath took an hour to fill, also the hot / cold on tap is the wrong way round and the fitting was loose leading to a puddle around it's base
Thank you for your feedback, it's important to us! We are sorry to read that you had some grievances whilst staying with us at Retreat By The Bowers. We are on hand to rectify any issues guests have whilst staying in the property. It's unfortunate we didn't hear from you whilst you were staying because we would gone above and beyond to resolve these queries. We will take on board your feedback and really hope to receive you again in the future. Kind regards, the owners. Property Owner
