  • "We’ve just returned from a fantastic weekend and everything in the house was faultless."

    Everything we needed was provided, everywhere was clean and the house was lovely and cosy and big enough for 8 of us. We’ve loved our stay and are looking to book again in the future. Just a tip for anyone going when it’s chilly - take some firewood with you to save popping out to the shop once you’ve unpacked!

  • "We visited Homewood as a family of 10 ranging from age 2 to 89 and we all had a fantastic time."

    This property is absolutely beautiful and is enormous!! It is set in the most beautiful country side and the surroundings are gorgeous. We particularly liked the horses peeping over to say hello each day from the neighbouring field. The kitchen is stocked excellently, loads of cooking facilities and large fridge and there is more than enough bathrooms with fantastic showers and huge baths. The bedrooms were so big and there’s so much storage. Really comfy and cosy beds and a travel cot for our little one. There were areas of the house we barely used as there’s just so much space!! Loved having so many areas to relax in like the sofa in the kitchen/dining room. We didn’t use the log fire but was a great addition if we wished to. I would suggest bringing a few extra towels if using hot tub as one per person is provided but if you’re anything like us you’ll use more. Anything you may need home wood has! The hot tub was fantastic so clean and warm we used it regularly on our stay. Loved being so close by to garstang & the ice cream shop up the road was great. Had some lovely walks on the canal & nearby. Loved seeing sheep/horses in nearby fields. Sat nav takes you about 3/4 of a mile before the house but using the 3 words app it was easy to find the property. We would 100% recommend this property and would love to return. All of us enjoyed our stay, thank you so much!

  • "Had the best week at Homewood what a beautiful property ."

    The kitchen is very much the heart of the house with us spending most of our time in there cooking meals and making full use of the hot tub . The horses out back are so lovely nice to wake up too on a morning. Everybody slept well it’s like a home from home . The facilities are fab everything you could need although if I could give any constructive criticism would be that we missed having a tumble dryer . All in all a fantastic week we would 100% come back again Thankyou xx

    We loved all the different rooms to relax in and the size of the bedrooms was great. The bathrooms were beautifully decorated but would have loved a few more towels! The hot tub was a great added bonus and we enjoyed relaxing in it in the evening. Overall it was a really lovely stay in a lovely house.

  • "We had a lovely stay!"

    The home was fantastic for our family group of 10, clean, spacious and just perfect. The weather was great which made time in the hot tub all the better. We would highly recommend this home to all! Only small issue we had was the bins were full when we arrived (bottle, cardboard and the large biffa) and didn't get emptied the whole time we were there. Nothing the owners could have prevented though. Ashton memorial is a must visit!

  • "We Absolutely Loved Our Stay This Week, Beautiful Family Time!"

    The House is Amazing and Lots Of Space, Really Relaxing Stay. Got To Say It Was Absolutely Spotless Too. and Seeing The Horses Was Wonderful! The house Had A Ramp into It (Not To Back garden Though) And had Stepless Entry To Accessible Downstairs Room Which Was Perfect For My Mum. We Had A Boss Stay And Loved Every Minute, So Peaceful And Had Loads Of Fun. Plenty Of Cupboard Space For Shopping, A Wine Fridge And We Had Ice But Were Glad For The Dispenser Too

    However I am disappointed in the support/contact from Sykes when you have a question....these automated WhatsApp support chats just don't work. But overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

  • "What an absolutely fabulous time we've had at Homewood this last four days."

    It was a very long eventful 9 hour journey up to Forton, with several motorbike issues en-route, so arriving at accommodation that FAR FAR exceeded expectations was a delight. Homewood is stunning and we were blown away by the size of the place (even though it took us a while to find the master bedroom above the games room), and the location was so relaxing. We would definitely consider a return visit, and will happily recommend to friends. Thank you so much.

    Although spacious the kitchen is ready for a update, cupboards looking tired Bedrooms huge but again wardrobes ready for update. Bathrooms beautiful. No door on the downstairs bedroom en suite which seemed a bit odd considering it’s a twin room. Overall a great place for a girlie weekend break especially with the hot tub, would highly recommend .

  • "Amazing property and perfect for our group size (5 adults, 4 kids)."

    Loads of room so we were never tripping over each other. Great location, just a short drive to Garstang, which had all the shops you need, and only 30 minutes from Blackpool for a great day out. We were slightly disappointed that the lower garden wasn’t available to use. The kids would have loved running around it and from the pictures it appeared part of the house. Would definitely recommend and use again.

  • "Had a lovely time."

    The layout of the rooms suited us perfectly, we set up a craft room next to the main living room. Spotlessly clean. Appreciated the extra touch of the decorated Christmas tree. Hot tub, clean and relaxing. It appears the property is newly renovated, hooks on the backs of bathroom doors would be nice. The log fire in the living room added to the peaceful ambiance, though not to increase the temperature of the room. Maybe one of those fans on top to push the heat out into the room would help. Fabulous few days here. Would have no hesitation in booking again and we probably will.

  • "A lovely home that we really enjoyed."

    Hot tub was great and the house is huge. Plenty of room for all of us and our 3 small dogs who we were kindly allowed to bring along after requesting prior to our visit. The TV in the kitchen area didn’t seem to work (stuck in start up mode) but this wasn’t an issue. The games room and Fireplace room were great. Especially the fireplace room where we chose to gather on the by evening to enjoy family games. Overall a fantastic break had by family and friends and would definitely book again. The Pattern arms pub a short walk away but do be careful if walking there as there are no side paths so you are having to walk along the road. Excellent food and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit. Great local walks alongside the canals also. One of the best places we have been to. Thanks for such a great stay.

  • "Absolutely beautiful house, each bedroom was spacious and comfortable."

    The kitchen, dining space and living room were all spot on. Good for a big group not just because the house is large but plenty of parking space and a nice large hot tub. Rachel was lovely and we appreciated her sorting out the hot tub every morning. Very easy to find as well. Had all the utensils and equipment we needed. Definitely one of the best places we stayed.

Known locally for its tasty home-grown produce, this small town offers a warm welcome and a wealth of specialist and individual shops where you can pick up a number of treats; don't miss the local cheesemongers for a wedge of fine Lancashire cheese! The street market is held every Thursday, another exciting shopping treat. Running right through the centre of the town is the peaceful Lancaster Canal, where you can watch the passing canal boats cruise by and enjoy the abundance of wildlife it supports. The nearby Millennium Green, an area situated on the western bank of the River Wyre, has actually been designated for wildlife conservation and events in the community.
