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.

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.

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

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!
