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.

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 thereâs 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 thereâs just so much space!! Loved having so many areas to relax in like the sofa in the kitchen/dining room. We didnât 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 youâre anything like us youâll 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!

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