  • "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

  • "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

    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.

    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.

  • "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.

    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.

  • "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

    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.

  • "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!

  • "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
