Homewood is a highly praised cottage in Cumbria, celebrated for its comfort, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Guests have enjoyed the luxurious hot tub, ample parking, and the property's suitability for large groups and pets. The local pub and scenic walks add to the charm of the location, ensuring a memorable stay.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as spotless and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The cottage's proximity to a local pub, shops, and scenic canal walks is well-regarded, although caution is advised when walking along the road due to the lack of side paths.
Reviewers find the house very comfortable, with spacious bedrooms and a cosy fireplace room, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
The facilities, including a hot tub and games room, are highly praised. However, a non-functional TV and suggestions for minor improvements indicate that there is room for enhancement.
While guests have not mentioned specific gifts, the provision of a decorated Christmas tree suggests thoughtfulness. However, as there is no consistent mention of gifts, a score cannot be provided, and guests should not expect them as a guarantee.

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.

The layout of the rooms suited us perfectly, we set up a craft room next to the main living room. Spotlessly clean. Appreciated the extra touch of the decorated Christmas tree. Hot tub, clean and relaxing. It appears the property is newly renovated, hooks on the backs of bathroom doors would be nice. The log fire in the living room added to the peaceful ambiance, though not to increase the temperature of the room. Maybe one of those fans on top to push the heat out into the room would help. Fabulous few days here. Would have no hesitation in booking again and we probably will.
