  • "Firstly we found the location of the cottage very difficult to find."

    The directions were not the clearest and the location / cottage isn’t sing posted from the roadside The contact numbers listed in the email were useless as nobody answered the phone The cleanliness of the cottage was substandard with cobwebs and grime in every room The hot tub was un useable - we used it once and got out because the water smelt horrific I didn’t believe I received value for money on this trip and on the whole was very disappointed

  • "This absolutely beautiful cottage is stunning and the attention to detail is faultless."

    It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The hot tub made a great weekend into a most memorable weekend. This is my 3rd holiday this year with Sykes, so that's got to prove how good they are. The bedding and towels are so soft and of great quality. It's only just over 3 miles to sainburys for these last minute buys we forgot. Plenty good quality pot, pans, crockery and cutlery. The house was nice and warm with nice mood lighting awaited our arrival and the added nice touch of a bottle of prosecco. There was also a jar of tea, coffee and milk. We'd all highly recommend this property for a wonderful, peaceful and happy getaway.

    The property is beautiful, very relaxing & has everything you need. Hot tub is very warm which is ideal for Winter break!

  • "Lovely cottage, spacious and well maintained."

    Good location for canal and coastal walks. Right on a bus route so good for not using cars. Hot tub was great . Surprised there wasn't a dishwasher as cottage info says there is one. Car park area needs tidying up as it doesn't give a good first impression.

  • "Lovely 5 days in this accommodation."

    Decorated to a high standard with some quirky design features but all mod cons. The hot tub was the icing on the cake and it was lovely and warm throughout on a chilly November. The location is rural which worked out well as spent family time together. Netflix on tv was good. Close to Nicky Nook for a frosty walk, wyrebeck and garstang. Close to seaside aswell. Prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch and owner checked all ok whilst we there. Great for family chilled break

  • "The property was advertised with a dishwasher."

    It didn't have one which was a disappointment. This was a bigger disappointment when we found that pots, plates, glasses and cutlery had been put in the cupboards unclean and had to be washed. Also, the hot tub was dirty with a number of slugs in it and couldn't be used. In addition, one of the showers was unfinished with piping exposed.

    Hi Joe, Sorry to hear this review. I apologise it was advertised with a dishwasher and there wasn't one at the time. We have regular cleaners in making sure and cleaning and ticking off on a check list that everything is satisfactory. Regarding the hot tub, this is emptied and fresh water installed prior to every new check in. This is also chlorinated and recorded. Once guests have checked in, we also check on a regular basis throughout their stay and chlorinated accordingly. Regarding slugs, I apologise if there was any in there. They must of snuck under the cover but I cam assure you the day you checked in they wasn't there. As you can see by all the feedback in the visitors book in the property (approx 30 families) have all left exceptional feedback and have stated they will stay again. I am sorry there was no dishwasher and that is the main gripe what has triggered this feed back. Once again I apologise for this. Best wishes John Property Owner

  • "Fantastic accommodation with plenty of space."

    We were a party of 6 and the three bedrooms and three bathrooms and extra toilet made it feel as though we were on top of each other which is a must when you want to go away to relax. The beds were the best we've ever slept in!!!! 100/10!! The owners have done an amazing job and the barn has lots of original features and added touches. Hot tub is private and plenty of parking. Garstang is a lovely village to village and close to many places to visit. The owners were also very accommodating and easy to reach.

    Thank you for this Wayne.. it was great to meet you and your family and we look forward to seeing you again Property Owner

The property

Garstang 2.3 miles.

The Hamilton is a multi million pound development and is a grade 2 listed building which dates back to the 1600s.

The development now consists of 6 high end luxury apartments in the main residence and three high end barn conversions to the courtyard.

The majority of the original features have been kept and restored which was a high importance to the British Heritage Report.

8 Coach House, resting in Cabus near Garstang, Lancashire, has been lovingly renovated to provide style and luxury for a family, friends or couples.

Described as having an ‘English Country Gent’ feel and sleeping six guests, this dog-friendly property offers a spacious, outdoor communal garden and private hot tub, with easy access to the M6 motorway, making the ideal base to explore other areas from the hills of the Lake District National Park to the coastline of Morecambe Bay.

Benefit from ample off-road parking, before making your way to your new dwelling, firstly reaching the kitchen/diner, fully-equipped for a self-catered stay.

Prepare and enjoy meals indoors or set the patio table as the wine is poured and conversations flow, followed by an indulgent dip in the hot tub.

Cosy up in the chic sitting room, with plenty of plush seating to accommodate your party, enveloped by exposed beams and stonework.

Climb the stairs to be delighted by three well-appointed bedrooms, including a double, a double with Smart TV and en-suite, and a twin with en-suite.

Awaken to a refreshing shower or a long soak in the free-standing bath, housed in the sleek bathroom, before exploring the attractions of Lancashire.

All of this awaits, and more at 8 Coach House.

Hamilton House Development

The Hamilton Development dates back to the 1600s and was originally built for the Duke of Hamilton, James Hamilton, with the surrounding grounds also owned by the Duke. James the Duke Hamilton was killed in the early 1700s during a duel in Hyde Park, and the property was then passed down through future generations. In 1986, the development was made a Grade II listed building, before later becoming a collection of six luxury apartments and three high-end barn conversions. Original features have been kept and restored, which was of high importance to the British heritage report, and now welcomes groups who desire to explore the South Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and Lancashire. This group’s location is ideal as there are some amazing treks and lovely eateries on the doorstep, and the town is worth a visit! Close by is the village of Scorton, which has a lovely three-mile walk around Nicky Nook with views of the Forest of Bowland, Heysham, and Morecambe. This trip concludes with two well-known eateries, The Apple Store and The Barn. Both are worth seeing while you're here! Garstang, a market town just down the road, has a range of shops, cafés, and pubs, as well as a weekly Thursday market. Lancaster's ancient downtown has a plethora of restaurants, shops, and bars; alternatively travel up to the castle for stories of the famed Pendle witches. The region is ideal for individuals who want to get out in the fresh air and explore the local footpaths or pedal the calm country lanes. Further afield, the home is close to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks, allowing you easy access to some of Britain's most spectacular landscapes and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Arnside and Silverdale, as well as the Forest of Bowland. The finest in local produce, cuisine and drink, award-winning gastro-pubs, and tourism attractions may be found in picturesque adjacent towns and villages. Activities in Ingleton include caving, climbing, and walking by the Waterfalls, while attractions in the south Lake District include the South Lakes Safari Zoo, Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, Lakes Aquarium, The World of Beatrice Potter, Lakeland Motor Museum, and Holker Hall Gardens. A trip south will take you to the seaside town of Blackpool, which is packed with activities, including Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Water Park, and Arcades on the Pier. Nestled between both the coast and countryside, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Hamilton House Development.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

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.
