"Deekswood is an excellent high quality cottage and is very clean, comfortable and well equipped."
Lovely sitting out area and generous off-road parking. There are numerous country road walks and the coastal walkway overlooking Morecambe Bay straight from the door. We had a really great week and hope to return. Many thanks. Dave and Carol.
Dear David and Carol, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, thanks for your kind words. Best wishes Kath and Dave Property Owner

"Deekswood cottage is a well maintained and well presented house."
The setting is wonderful and the surroundings are tranquil. The owners, Dave and Kath are easy to talk to and accommodating and if there was ever to be an issue arising, I am sure that it would be taken care of immediately. This has been our fourth visit, I believe that says all that needs to be said. Fantastic property and a relaxing break guaranteed every visit.

"This is our 3rd stay at Deekswood."
What a wonderful relaxing stay which was what we needed. Everything had been provided and our hosts Kath & Dave were very obliging and left milk, eggs from their own free range hens, which was very nice of them. The cottage was in a very quiet place well laid out and comfortable. We will be back again in 2025. A great thanks to Kath and Dave for a lovely stay.

"We had the most delightful short stay at Deekswood."
The property is well equipped with everything that you need and is immaculate throughout. The owners are on hand if you should need them and are so very friendly, with nothing being too much trouble. The property is located in a very peaceful area with superb views and lovely walks and cycle routes. Areas of interest are located within a short drive away such as the lake district and Bowland area of outstanding natural beauty. This is a real gem of a place with privacy guaranteed. We've already booked to return next year. Thanks for a lovely stay. Lesley & Steve

Delightful owners, who were available but left you alone. Plenty to do and see. A very relaxing break and worthy of a return.
-
"Enjoyable , relaxing holiday in this comfortable, warm, well equipped accommodation."
Lovely hosts., close at hand should you have any queries or difficulties , which we found very reassuring. Loved seeing the friendly sheep in the adjoining field. Many thanks to Kath & Dave.

"The description on the website did not make clear the layout of the facility."
We found it quite strange to walk straight into the bedroom, and also the fact the wet room/bathroom was located at the other end of the property from the bedroom, meaning you had to go through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. There was very little storage space for clothes etc due to the fact that every drawer seemed full of games etc, we felt the quality of the bedding was not good, and there was not enough room in the kitchen cupboards to store food. Only one toilet roll supplied, and we had to ask for extra, no soap in the bathroom, and the kitchen taps were loose and dirty. To finish on a high note the weather was good, and the hot tub enjoyed.
-
"Deakswood cottage is a lovely comfortable little home from home."
Cath and Dave are lovely people, always there when you need them, but not breating down your neck. The cottage is well equiped and we found the hot tub a god send, when our muscles were aching, and it was lovely to lay back in the warm water on dark cloudless nights, and look at the stars. I have already recommended this property, and will gladly look into booking again, next time we are in the area
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Deekswood."
The cottage was spacious and comfortable and we hope to return. Fantastic wet room! The location is great - countryside but you don't have to negotiate extremely narrow lanes to get there. Also, it turned out to be ideally situated for our birdwatching hobby, being close to various river estuaries, the coast and nature reserves.
-
"Lovely cottage,clean,tidy,well equipped,everything you could need."
Owners very helpfull would reccomend.
-
"A very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well maintained holiday property, makes this a delightful place to stay."
Owners live across the road in this pretty little hamlet of a few houses, so close enough to assist and offer local info etc but still plenty of privacy to enjoy sitting out and looking across the field. Luxurious wetroom, large, comfortable bed and very nice to have comfortable dining chairs at the table.
-
"The accommodation is beautiful and well cared for."
From the moment you get there you feel on holiday as it's so restful and peaceful. The garden furniture is located near to a hot tub where you can enjoy the view. The owner's sometimes have their horses grazing there, or their sheep. But even if the field is empty you might you may catch a glimpse of a hard or rabbit, or watch the bird life. The owner's are lovely people, very helpful and have lots of knowledge of the area. They can give you advice on good walking routes and many other things. They are very approachable and helpful and have supplied the cottage with many board games and books for wetter days. We have been four or five times and will go back again as soon as it's possible. It's a great place to unwind.

"Comfortable well finished property ideal for a quiet relaxing break."
On the outskirts of village with just a few farms & houses close by. You can sit in the snug overlooking fields watching the world go by, listening to the birds, horses & sheep. Friendly owners on hand to make sure everything is ok for you. A real home from home.

"Excellent cottage ."
Great location. Cannot fault this property.

"The Old Byre at Deekswood is a very comfortable and spacious 1 bedroom holiday cottage, converted as the title suggests from an old farm building."
The cottage is in a country area, with Zwartble sheep in the field beside the cottage and we enjoyed watching the swallows - we found the area quiet and peaceful, with the occasional sound of chickens, sheep and cows in the background. The small town of Knott End is about 4 miles away and from there you can get to Fleetwood by a 35 passenger ferry. The roads in that part of Lancashire aren't great so we did a lot of walking - Morecambe Bay is about 1 mile away as is the Lancashire Coastal Way. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted - the owners were friendly and accommodating and we had a comfortable week away with enough of interest around us for the week to pass agreeably.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay, made very welcome by the owners Dave & Kath, the property had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable in a rural setting but not far from the sea."
We hope to visit Deekswood again soon.
-
"The property was better than expected, very friendly owners."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Well what can I say, what a brilliant property excellent for our needs, as my husband is in a wheelchair and unable to walk."
Really accessible entrance, wide interior doorways, and magnificent bathroom. The outside space was ideal, nice and peaceful. Nice touch leaving us fresh eggs, milk, and tea, coffee. A welcome treat on arrival. Kate and Dave were excellent hosts nothing was to much trouble and very helpful telling us places to go that would suit our needs. Thanks again for our enjoyable stay looking forward to booking again.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Deekswood."
Comfortable and clean. Everything you need was available to make our stay pleasurable. Loved the outside space, privacy and the hot tub. Not a criticism but feel dinner plates, side plates and dishes could do with an upgrade.
-
"What a fabulous place."
A real treat. Beautiful and so clean. All the little special touches. Dave and Kate fabulous hosts. What more could you want for the perfect get away from it all. Great for walking, cycling, relaxing or a base to travel around. Though why would you want to go anywhere when it’s all there. Loved relaxing in the hot tub after a long day.. loved the location. What a find. Would recommend to anyone. Can’t wait for our next visit.
-
"Most relaxing holiday we’ve had for a long time."
Pleasant Hosts. Comfortable property. Lovely area for cycle rides.
-
"Excellent cottage."
We chose this cottage as I had broke my ankle and was not fully mobile. This cottage was brilliant for me getting around on crutches or the wheelchair. Also the surrounding areas are relatively flat. We were able to get out and about with the aid of my wheelchair and walked from Pilling to Blackpool pleasure Beach in sections over the week. The cottage was very quiet and you immediately began to unwind when you arrived. Would certainly recommend.
-
"Great place to stay, great hosts, good for walks with little or no hills."
Just the right spot to visit Morcombe, The Trough of Bowland, Sambos Grave Sunderland (very sad moving story) and Cockerham Sands. Plus plenty of places to eat. A cottage you would love to go back to.
-
"Deekswood is a fabulous home from home holiday cottage."
A rural retreat with the Wow factor. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the peace, tranquility and the beautiful area. Everything you need is here and the owner’s are on hand if you need them. This holiday home is a credit to the owners.
-
"Fantastic cottage, very comfortable."
Ground source heat pump does a good job keeping the place nice and warm :). Would certainly go back again.
-
"Everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing break."
Close but not too close to the bright lights of Blackpool and within an hours drive of the beautiful Lake District. Highly recommended.
-
"Deekswood provided the perfect getaway location A beautiful spot with walks right from the property and a good location for exploring all the North West has to offer Everything needed for a fab week was to hand for both eating in and eating out."
-
"Loved everything about our cottage."
Clean, friendly hosts, everything there we needed, lovely area. Especially loved the animals!! Would love to go back again.
-
"Deekswood is a beautiful cottage,all on one level,set in a wonderful,peaceful and idyllic location."
The accommodation was everything we could have asked for.Kath and Dave,the owners,were very welcoming and helpful.We had the added bonus of a beautiful hot tub and fresh eggs from the friendly hens each morning. This cottage is a definite must for a future visit!!
-
"Deekswood is a beautiful comfortable property that has been well thought out."
We had everything that we needed. Our hosts were welcoming and ensured that our stay was a good one. We would definitely return.
-
"I really enjoyed my stay at Deekswood."
The cottage is modern, tastefully furnished and well planned. The owners had thought of everything a guest might need, and even supplied eggs via their own chickens! I met the owners for a brief chat, and they were friendly and accommodating. They made me feel welcome. The cottage is situated down a quiet country lane. It was quiet and relaxing - I really slept well and relaxed during my stay. I would heartily recommend it.
-
"Where to start?"
The location was ideal for the break we needed. Deekswood is a beautifully and tastefully converted barn which gave us everything we needed for a relaxed week of reading, walking (country lanes and public footpaths in the surrounding area). The 'green' technology was very impressive and the owners, Kath and Dave couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Fresh laid eggs from the coop in the drive were absolutely delicious and we enjoyed the friendly sheep and the horses in the field behind the barn. We have stayed in many self-catering properties over the years and Deekswood has to be top of our list on all counts! We fully intend to return as soon as we can!
-
"Deekswood was a beautiful well thought out cottage."
Very well equipped, lovely hot tub and extremely well maintained. Good location for visiting the area. A lovely touch having the chickens so we could had fresh eggs everyday. The friendly sheep behind the cottage and helping bring the horses in was a wonderful experience. Dave & Kath were the most perfect hosts who offered advice on places to visit and we would thoroughly recommended the cottage. We hope to visit again in the future. Regards Michelle & David Holman
-
"The reason that I have put meets expectations rather than exceeds is because we have been at this property twice before."
This was our third visit and it only goes to prove how much we love this property. It is remotely situated and thoroughly relaxing.
-
"The property was spotless, spect out to a very high standard ,comfy and homely with every thing you could think you would need and more the location was tranquil with lots of good food pubs dotted around ."
fresh eggs every morning from the coupe in the drive now that,s fresh . dave and kath were so welcoming more like old friends rather than the owners.but were not intrusive at all. the little treats and the goodies in the fridge on arrival was a really nice touch the area has some nice walks and is only twenty minutes away from costal towns like fleetwood and cleveleys .we had a really great chill out week and were sad to leave but we will return in the summer for some more chill time and test out the hot tub too
-
"No all good thank u"
-
"Deekswood was a fantastic holiday let for my 10 year old son and I."
The barn was way beyond our expectations and was so clean and lovely. The sheep and chickens in the field at the back of the barn were fabulous and my young son just loved them. I couldn’t recommend this property enough, we had such a relaxing and fabulous stay. The owners even left us some lovely cakes, milk and tea / coffee which was totally unexpected! The location was also perfect being so close to Lancaster, Morecambe, Blackpool and Fleetwood. Fantastic place and location - highly recommended.
-
"Excellent accommodation."
Owners helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive. We both loved Deekswood.
-

Kath and Dave(the owners)so helpful and really lovely people!would recommend a stay here,and we hope to go back again.
-
"Deekswood was one of the most pleasant properties we have stayed in ( a real gem)."
The welcome pack of milk, tea/coffee & biscuits were perfect after a long drive. The location was excellent for getting around . The owners lived across the road and were the perfect hosts - but unobtrusive. The property was truly a home from home. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen extremely well equipped, hot tub is an added bonus, good parking, WiFi was good, wonderful supply of DVD's films and games - the list is endless - everything was perfect. Thank you Kath & Dave for a wonderful week. We would certainly recommend Deekswood and most definitely plan to return. Sandra & Pete.
-
"A beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but conveniently close to places of interest."
We enjoyed the experience of the hot tub situated outside and loved the wet room within the cottage. The option to collect our own eggs from the chicken coop was a nice addition and the taste of these eggs were delicious ! Generous car parking is provided with excellent access to the cottage. We would recommend this property to anyone.
-
"Super accommodation in a peaceful, quiet location."
The owners were very friendly but not instrusive. The Zwartbles sheep, horses and the hens for company made the stay very enjoyable.
-
"We stayed for a week at Deekswood and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"
Kath and Dave are lovely and were very accommodating. They even showed us round their small holding so our son could say hello to all their animals. We were unsure about the inflatable hot tub as we had only been in regular ones previously, it failed to disappoint!! Thank you very much for our stay!
-
"It provided us with the peace and comfort we we hoping for."
It was well laid out and tastefully furnished with attention to colour coordination of furnishing and background detail. Much thought has gone in to creating the perfect getaway.
-
"It was lovely, we booked at the last minute and we were delighted with the cottage."
We overlooked the owners field with three lovely sheep who were very friendly. There were also two chickens who laid eggs for us every day. The cottage itself was beautiful - all on one level and very nicely equipped for self catering. Can't praise this stay enough it was a lovely relaxing holiday.
-
"We are particularly fussy when we choose holiday accommodation."
Deekswood was one of the best we have stayed in.
-
"Loved it / very quiet / just what we needed"
-
"Deekswood is a very cosy open planned bungalow nicely placed in the countryside and convenient for Blackpool and the Lake district which we both did."
The facilities were great at Deekswood but the only thing I would reccomend is to add blackout curtains,maybe cos i'm use to them at home. I would definately reccomend staying here and would myself again.
-
"Our holiday was perfect."
The owners were friendly and always ready to help when needed. The fresh eggs everyday were fabulous too.
-
"Deekswood cottage is a dream home set in lovely countryside and Cath and Dave are ideal hosts willing to help in any way they can."
The cottage has all the amenities you could wish for with great views from the windows and patio. There is a feeling of peace and tranquility about the whole place. the location is ideal for visits to the lake district to the north and south to Lytham Blackpool Fleetwood Preston and Lancaster if you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind then Deekswood is the place for you. we will be returning in the future
-
"Lovely cottage, well presented and owned by really helpful owners."

-
"Most delightful and comfortable cottage."
Everything you need has been thought of by the owners Dave and kath, who are a charming helpful couple. Having full time jobs themselves are so willing to put themselves out to help with anything.
-
"Very well equipped cottage in a perfect location for us."
The owners went out of their way to make our week over the Christmas break special and we really appreciated all the little extras they provided. Very nice people to do business with and if you are looking for a very comfortable cottage in the Pilling area then look no farther.
-

"A wonderful little cottage in Pilling which is close to Blackpool and Lancaster."
The cottage was in immaculate condition and matched the photos on the website. The owners, Dave and Kath were welcoming hosts and had set up a cot and highchair for our daughter who slept well in the cot. The cottage was always at a nice comfy temperature due to the underfloor heating and the kitchen was sufficiently stocked with equipment for us to cook dinner. There are chickens near the cottage and they provided fresh eggs every morning which was really the cherry on top! Overall, a really lovely stay and would highly recommend.
-
"Deekswood cottage is a very charming and romantic place to stay, just ideal for a busy couple like us."
We really enjoyed all week there, Great location. We were explore the Lake District National Park which is approx an hour to drive. The hot tude is fantastic and giving feel yourself in a luxuri relaxable holyday what deserves ;) Much better equipped than I expected. The "own" hens at the side are great idea from the owners, so you can have a very fresh egg for your breakfast. Dave and Kath very hospitable owners! My and my partner are very satisfied by them and wish them a lot more happy guest and looking forward to go back Deekswood cottage again! Thank you!

Where you’ll be staying
PILLING
Lancaster; Blackpool 15 miles; Morecambe 15 miles; Kendal 33 miles.
Pilling is a small, peaceful village within the borough of Wyre in Lancashire, only six miles northeast of Poulton-le-Fylde and three miles from Knott End-on-Sea. This ancient settlement was founded on what was essentially an island, with the sea on one side and marsh on the others. In 1808, Pilling Windmill was built, operating up until the 1940’s and restored to its former glory in 2007, and the local pottery offers a refurbished cafe and art gallery. In addition, Pilling has a country pub serving food and the Springfield House Hotel and Restaurant is close by. Nearby, Knott End-on-Sea has a range of shops and restaurants located across the Wyre Estuary from Fleetwood. Although there is a no through road and to get there you must pass through neighbouring Preesall, the village is in fact the main commercial centre for the Over Wyre area. As well as a variety of shops, restaurants and cafes, Knott End-on-Sea has its own pub, The Bourne Arms, as well as a bank and an 18-hole golf course, which welcomes visitors. Buses run regularly from Knott End to Blackpool, Garstang and Lancaster, and there is also a seasonal, three-minute ferry crossing to Fleetwood. Just over six miles away, the historic market town of Poulton-le-Fylde is a charming place full of cobbled streets, unusual shops and ancient sights. Traditionally, agriculture was the main industry in the area and records show that a market has been held in Poulton-Le-Fylde since at least 1348. This tradition continues to this day, with a farmers' market held every fourth Saturday. The area has something to suit all tastes; there are country and beach walks suitable for all abilities, with Pilling and Morecambe Bay being very popular with birdwatchers. A visit to Old Holly Farm to feed the lambs in spring and the Braedens Pony Trekking Centre, both make a great family day out. The Trough of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is nearby, with walks to suit all abilities, while the many varied delights of Blackpool and Morecambe are easy to reach. Don’t forget to explore the towns of Lytham St Annes, Cleveleys, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kendal and Windermere, which together with the stunning Lake District National Park, make this a great holiday destination for everyone!
Note: Hot tub is inflatable but fully operational and is only available from beginning of Apr to end of Sep.
