  • "Faultless, amazingly clean comfy and so quiet yet right in the heart of a thriving and very friendly market town."

    Spoilt for choice as to great walks pubs cafes or even a canal trip all within walking distance . Explore further to historic lancaster , art deco morecambe or brash blackpool , even easier with a regular bus to the front door ! We even got as far as the lakes by bus , so scenic even just locally. Market day thursday and posh supermarket booths ensured we were well fed and watered with local treats . The cleaner is amazing the place looks like new

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you were able to make the most of the location. Well done for packing so much in to the week! I have passed on your feedback to our cleaner, she does a fantastic job. Property Owner

  • "The property was exceptional and had everything one might require for a lovely stay in Garstang and the surrounding area."

    Arrangements with keys worked really well. Basically we could not have asked for better. We had one drawback with Sykes (nothing to do with the property) and that was that we were completely unable to contact them after booking. We needed an answer to a question to do with booking but were unable to make contact. The ‘contact us’ section on the app threw up an error message at every attempt. In the end everything turned out well.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad that you enjoyed staying in the apartment. It is disappointing you weren’t able to get through to Sykes, we will follow it up with them Property Owner

  • "River View is a bright, modern flat with great facilities."

    Particularly, the kitchen is very well equipped. There is a large balcony with comfortable outdoor seating and views across a wooded area towards the eponymous river. The only drawback that we found is that the flat was rather warm for us even on a clear June night with the radiators all turned off. Guests who feel the cold will love it; others should be aware. Garstang is a pleasant market town with several pubs and a range of eating options. There are two supermarkets and a number of speciality shops including a butcher, a fishmonger and a cheesemonger. Those who enjoy cooking and a few pints will be in heaven. Transport connections are good, making the town a great base for exploring. River View is highly recommended.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed the visit to Garstang and found the apartment well equipped. We have now supplied a couple of fans for the comfort of future guests. Property Owner

  • "We were impressed by the opportunity."

    We liked the welcome pack, thank you, the cleanliness, the facilities, the parking & the general ambiance of the town. There was plenty to do - pity about the weather for 2 of the days. The were a couple of cons we can share. The fact that since the initial weather was good, the terrace was really hot as was the apartment. We would suggest the provision of an air fan for the summer months would solve this ( we know air con is out of the question). As We said only a problem in the very good weather. And second, since we are both in our mid 70’s, getting in & out of the bath proved challenging without a hand grab. We managed. A great stay! Peter & Jane Boyd

    Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at River View. We have used the apartment on a few hot days and found that keeping the curtains closed during the day was enough to keep out the worst of the heat. But we will get some portable fans in too as a back-up. Let’s hope they get lots of use over the Summer, and the balcony is a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the evening as you found out. We will also source some grab handles for the bathroom - that’s a good idea - thank you. Overall though it sounds like you had an enjoyable stay and these things didn’t detract from that too much.

About the location

GARSTANG

Preston 10 miles; Lancaster 11 miles; Blackpool 15 miles; Morecambe 15 miles.

Garstang is a small town within the Wyre Borough of Lancashire, famous for declaring itself the world's first Fairtrade town. 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. Admire the views over the Bowland Hills before enjoying a visit to the High Street, where you will find plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants in which you can enjoy the local hospitality, or visit the Braedens Pony Trekking Centre, which make for great family days out. The surrounding countryside provides great walking opportunities, whilst the RSPB nature reserves at Leighton Moss and Morecambe Bay are well worth a visit. The Trough of Bowland is nearby, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the many varied delights of Blackpool and Morecambe, as well as the towns of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal and Windermere and the stunning Lake District National Park are all within easy reach, making this a great destination for all the family.
