Beautiful property needs a little tlc like painting but still lovely if I'd have won the lottery on the weekend would have made them an offer
Family of 7 had the best stay at Homewood.
Owners were quick to respond to a query and fix a small issue. The home had everything you could wish for; it was a comfortable and very happy stay for all of us and we would absolutely stay here again! I would give 100 stars if I could! :)
We loved the accommodation, this was our second visit but this time we noticed some differences.
There was a leak from the bathroom above the kitchen which rendered a shower unusable - it was reported. Some dining chairs were broken and creaky, only 2 t-towels left for 10 people over a 3 night weekend. Some nylon bedding, cotton preferred by all. Bit disappointed this time.
Thank you for returning to Homewood Lodge for a second visit. We’re sorry to hear you were a little disappointed this time. The dining chairs have now been replaced with brand-new ones. I’m sorry that the two tea towels provided weren’t sufficient for your stay. This is also the first time we’ve received negative feedback regarding the bedding, but we appreciate your comments and will take them on board. Thank you again for your feedback.
single beds in downstairs bedroom were very uncomfortable.
still a lack of towels, never had to take towels with us before to a rental property. welcome pack was not as good as previous rentals we have had. feel the photograph a bit misleading showing an extensive garden, only upon reading reviews do you realise that was not part of property. otherwise a very spacious property on the whole very good, lovely area
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re pleased that you found the property spacious, enjoyed the lovely area and had a good stay overall. We’re sorry to hear that you found the single beds uncomfortable, and we will take your comments regarding the welcome pack into consideration. We had been in contact prior to your arrival, and you were made aware that one towel per guest is provided. I also explained that if you required an additional towel, perhaps for the hot tub, you would need to bring your own. We’re sorry if this arrangement did not meet your expectations. We also appreciate your comments regarding the photographs. The garden shown is part of the wider setting but is not included for guests’ private use, and we will review the listing to ensure this is made as clear as possible. Regarding the outdoor space, if you had contacted me during your stay and explained that you wanted an area for games or other activities, I would have happily allowed you to use one of the paddocks we have available. Thank you again for your feedback.
We had a great time at the home.
The facilities were great, plenty of parking and lots of space! The whole house could do with one deep clean, we only had one dish towel which for a week of a big group isn't enough. With a deep clean and a handyman sorting a lot of little jobs and rough edges this place would be 10/10
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you had a great stay and enjoyed the facilities, spacious property and ample parking. We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the cleaning, maintenance and number of tea towels provided. We will raise these points with our cleaning and maintenance teams so that the property can be thoroughly checked and any small jobs addressed. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Superb Property exactly as described
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the property exactly as described. We would be delighted to welcome you back in the future.
Homewood Lodge is an excellent place to stay.
The layout of the property is great with loads of room for people to spread out and relax or congregate in a couple of the larger rooms. The garden is small so not ideal for groups with small children but there is just about enough room for them to run around in and it is self contained so they can't escape. The table and chairs outside and the hot-tub means people can sit outside on an evening and enjoy the peace and quiet (and the view of the sheep). Facilities in the house are great and well stocked, possibly the only thing lacking was a fan for each bedroom because it was hot when we visited and not much of a breeze came through the windows so a fan would have helped at night. All in all an excellent property and one I would recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the spacious layout, peaceful surroundings, hot tub and facilities at Homewood Lodge. We appreciate your helpful suggestion about providing fans in the bedrooms and will certainly take this into consideration for warmer weather. It’s lovely to hear that you would recommend the property, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Lovely house for a family holiday, the games room was used everyday and children loved seeing the sheep from garden.
Hot tub was excellent.
It sounds like you made some lovely family memories at Homewood Lodge! We’re glad the games room was such a hit with the children and It’s great to know the hot tub was a highlight too. Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
Spacious and comfortable property which was ideally suited for our family celebration.
We were lucky with the weather but there was lots of space inside in case of rain. Games room and hot tub were a bonus. Quiet rural location with lovely canal walking nearby. Helpful and prompt comms with owner. Highly recommended.
Thank you for choosing Homewood Lodge for your family celebration. It’s wonderful to hear that the property suited your group so well and that you made the most of the hot tub, games room and nearby canal walks. We also really appreciate your kind comments about our communication and your recommendation.
Would definitely recommend Homewood Lodge.
We are a group of 5 ladies celebrating a “special” birthday Very spacious house, huge bedrooms. There is a ground floor wheelchair friendly bedroom with en suite. Lovely suprise to receive a bottle of fizz on arrival. The extra little touches were also very welcomed ( things like toilet rolls washing up liquid hand soap dishwasher tablets etc etc ). The hot tub was a little cold for us on arrival so had to wait a few hours for that to come up to temperature ( having said that we did arrive a tad early ). Great location with easy access to the canal for walks to Garstang, views from the house are second to none. Beds were comfortable and spotlessly clean as was the whole house. We ran into a little problem with our car as we were about to leave and the owner Simon helped us fix the problem of which we were extremely grateful ☺️
It sounds like Homewood Lodge was the perfect setting for a very special birthday celebration! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Of course, no girls’ getaway would be complete without a little car drama at the end—thankfully, Simon was on hand to save the day! Thank you for such a wonderful review and recommendation. We’d love to welcome you ladies back for the next birthday!
We had a enjoyable time at Homewood , we had to contact the owner once and he sorted the issue straight away .
It was big enough for us all , would recommend Homewood
We stayed at Homewood for 3 nights and had a great time!
The house is very spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The hot tub and games room were most welcome! Something for everyone! The only things we found missing were plugs for both baths, which was a shame, as those baths looked inviting! We would definitely visit again.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed the space, games room and hot tub. Apologies about the missing bath plugs—they have since been replaced. We’d love to welcome you back again.
Lovely House and garden area.
Big spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Only negative is TV in the main living room isn't a smart TV so we had to all fit and take chairs into the game's Room. ( There was 10 of us). Not enough toilet roll and lack of towels. No shops near by but there is a pub in walking distance which serves a lovely roast dinner.
This is a wonderful property for a family get together.
We all enjoyed the house. The grandchildren loved the pool table and hot tub. We played darts, cards, dominoes and much more. Excellent. However, we do feel the two single beds downstairs could do with new mattresses. The driveway was tight for 3 cars. But you can still turn round in it to drive forward out of the drive.
We went from Friday to Monday this beautiful country house with our family.
It was to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 10 of us and there was plenty room around the whole house. It was tastefully decorated and we felt at home from the start. We will definitely return in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic country house.
There is plenty of space for everyone and a particular bonus is the number of bathrooms. Everywhere was spotless and well maintained. The beds were super comfy and we felt at home straight away. The owners were so accommodating and helpful, going the extra mile when we had a minor issue. I would love to return maybe in summer to enjoy the garden and beautiful views. This is the perfect place to get together with friends or family. The kitchen was one of the best equipped of any cottage we have stayed in, and the games room was a big hit! You can walk straight onto the canal path from the front door, and the local Patten Arms pub was exceptional! Amazing value for money and we will definitely return!
We loved our stay at Homewood over the Christmas period.
There were 9 of us and there was plenty of space. The house was very well equipped and is set in beautiful surroundings. We would definitely come back.
Accommodation was clean and well maintained.
The games room was a success as was the hot tub. Garden smaller than thought due to picture but big enough for two dogs. Xmas tree a nice thought as was the bottle of bubbly as we were celebrating a 90th birthday. Down stairs bedroom ideal for a wheelchair as was the rest of the downstairs.
Just got back after a 3 nights stay in this property to celebrate my daughters surprise 40th birthday, the house is absolutely beautiful!
!..myself and my family have stayed in many houses but everyone agreed this is by far the best one we have stayed in. Our age group was from 62 to 8 years old and the hose was very accommodating for all our ages!!.. I had the message the owners just to ask a few questions and they were very quick with answering and very nice people..would highly recommend this property!
Enjoyed our stay immensely.
Spacious accommodation, spotlessly clean with peaceful surroundings. Hot tub was a perfect addition.
Perfect for us, we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday and wanted somewhere spacious to share a weekend with our children their partners and our grandson.
The property had everything we wanted, lovely surroundings and the facilities were great.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and had a great experience with us. We work hard to make sure our guests feel comfortable and well looked after, so it’s wonderful to know this came across during your visit. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
It was spacious, comfortable, and set in a peaceful location with great views, ideal for a relaxing break away with the family.
The cottage itself was generally very nice, although a few areas inside are starting to show some wear. One of the main reasons we booked was for the hot tub, so it was disappointing that the jets weren’t working properly during our stay. The owner did acknowledge the issue, but there wasn’t an apology, which was a shame, especially as it was for a birthday celebration. Hopefully it will be fixed soon for future guests.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful location, the spacious cottage, and the views. I’m very sorry that the hot tub jets were not working as they should during your stay, especially as it was a special birthday trip. We completely understand how disappointing that must have been. The issue has since been investigated, and a new pump has since been installed to ensure everything is functioning properly for future guests. We also appreciate your comments regarding a few areas in the cottage beginning to show wear — we are already reviewing these points as part of our ongoing maintenance. Thank you again for your helpful feedback. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a fully fault-free stay.
Ad provided really detailed information to get there which was spot on.
Easy check in. So much space, our kids loved it. Games room was such a great asset with the UK weather. Showers worked great. Loved how we all had a bathroom per family. Kitchen was well thought out and really liked having different cocktail and wine glasses and serving dishes for big family dinners. Having the washing machine was great, we took an airer just in case but one was provided. We ended up needing both after a walk so just to keep in mind if a large group. Easily enough space for 3 cars. The one time we had to contact the number they were really helpful and wasn't an issue.

Brilliant house for a family of 10 get together.
Lots to do in the area even in horrendous weather. Lovely walks nearby. Would suggest you bring towels for hot tub. We have a lovely time.
Lovely holiday in great location for exploring.
We visited blackpool, morcombe, windermere, garstang, lancaster. Property clean and had everything we needed. Hot tub was great even in the rain (we could of done with the instructions) Lovely little garden with table and chairs had the weather been better we would of used this alot. One thing to note the bedroom above the games room has no door (there is just one in to the kitchen) this didnt bother us however you cannot really use the games once someone is asleep up there becquse of the noise. There is however plenty of places to either sit together or sneek off to find a quite spot on your own. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are a really good size some are huge. Lovey view over the fields and not over looked at all. We enjoyed the icecream shop a 5 min drive away and lovely walk down the canal a few mins walk down the road (no pavement). We would have loved to stay longer as so much to still explore in the area.
Beautiful, large country house in peaceful location, perfect for our party of 10 while attending a family wedding locally.
It is showing signs of wear unfortunately and needing a bit of a refresh. The grill pan still contained the tinfoil and remains of the previous occupant's meal, toothbrush holders still had toothpaste in the bottom, so hadn't been cleaned. Many of the cups were chipped, bulbs missing from bedside table lamps, the games in the games room were all incomplete and need replacing. All small points I know, but this house could be absolutely stunning if it were given more attention to detail.
Hi Isabel. Many thanks for your feedback. I will speak with the cleaners and ensure that the issues you have acknowledged will be sorted, I can only apologise for this. I will also address the other issues you have raised and make sure that these are also addressed. Kind regards, Rachel.
Friendly owners and cleaners.
Very spacious. Great games room and hot tub
We loved this property we really did.
2 things, the flies were a huge problem. They were inside the house when we arrived and were quite off-putting as there really were a lot as well as many dead ones on window sills. My niece went down in the night and she said she opened the kitchen door and loads of flies flew at her scaring her to death. The other thing was no outside lights and this would have been helpful but other than that it was a lovely place.
House is very comfortable and layout worked well for our family group.
Generally clean but quite a few cobwebs and lots of dead flies. Sign on wall asking to keep windows closed but it was very warm and humid so had to keep doors/windows open would need to supply several fans to comply with closed windows. Utensils need checked had a frying pan handle break while using it splattering hot fat everywhere! Very lucky user wasn’t severely burnt. Another frying pan handle is loose needs replaced! Spatula looks fine but handle is actually broken and very difficult to use. Small tongs would have been useful there is only a large bbq type. A problem with electrics was sorted asap and we really appreciated that and the gift of wine and cake.
Fabulous holiday home, stayed for a family holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Homewood and would love to go back again.
What a beautiful home you have.
I lived my lottery dream for a week. We loved and enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen was beautiful. I enjoyed a soak in the claw club bath. The bed and bedrooms were lovely. I had a few quiet afternoons in the sitting room with the lovely comfy sofas and rustic wooden floor.We all enjoyed playing darts and pool in the games room. Thanks for letting us make wonderful memories.
We were met by one of the owners on arrival, who passed on useful information about the local area.
Lovely home in a rural setting. Well placed to get to other attractions in the area like Lancaster, Morecombe, Lytham & Garstang. We especially enjoyed the ice cream farm further down the lane from the property.Well equipped kitchen & bathrooms. Would have liked more towels in the bathrooms. We enjoyed the hot tub too. All in all a great stay.
We had a lovely holiday at Homewood, a very large house, it slept 10 but as there were 7 of us, we had lots of space!
We loved seeing the sheep & the beautiful views from the house! First time we’ve visited the area & we loved Lancaster! The local pub The Patten Arms was great, gorgeous food!
Our stay was fabulous from start to finish.
Above and beyond our expectations absolutely fantastic house with great facilities in the most picturesque surroundings
Perfect for what we needed 10 of us stayed, clean, loads of space, everything we needed was provided, friendly owners
Beautiful property, very spacious, everything you need is there, all loved the games room and hot tub , lovely area
A wonderful place.
Very comfortable. Great location. The radiators in upstairs bedrooms were not warm enough, very cold rooms. The hot tub was cold we advised the owner but despite him looking at it it never heated up. Needs some kind of cover over the hot tub so can be used in all weathers. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
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
This house was perfect for our stay.
Really good location, all the rooms are a really good size. It was well equipped, comfy, clean and homely. We would definitely come back here.
Lovely place and helpful owners
A very comfortable stay with family!
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.
Stayed here end of June to celebrate 2 birthdays , Had an amazing time chilling with family ,The house was well equipped and comfortable plenty of space,Bed was lovely and comfortable, would definitely book again.
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
Location fantastic, house lovely, we really enjoyed our stay and are alreasy planning on returning.
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.
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property, perfect location, excellent cleanliness and the owners were very helpful!
We will definitely be back! Thanks guys x
Lovely size cottage, plenty of room.
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.
Beautiful cottage.
Exactly how it looks in the pictures if not better! Perfect for a family getaway! We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely return!
Great property for friends to holiday together.
Friendly owner who came to check hot tub chemical levels whilst we were there. Would recommend. Thank you
Excellent large property, not far from local pub and shops and the hot tub was a nice addition.
Kids loved the horses virtually in the back garden .Owner was nice and let us check out a bit later, would definitely recommend.
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.
Everything good at Homewood.
Very comfortable house with everything you might need. 10/10
We had a lovely weekend in this fabulously spacious cottage.
The facilities were excellent and the hot tub was an added bonus. We would definitely recommend it and would be happy to stay there again ourselves.
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.
