About & Contact

Family and dog friendly luxury cottage

The Old Stables is a spacious 5 star luxury cottage, sleeping up to 14 guests plus a cot, in six bedrooms and is ideal for family reunions or friends groups wishing to visit Lancashire.

As its name suggests, the Old Stables was where the horses were housed many years ago, except that the wooden partitions and hayracks have now been replaced by a beautiful Mark Wilkinson American Oak kitchen. And where once the horses drank from cast iron troughs, an American fridge/freezer dispenses chilled spring water.

Downstairs, the huge open plan kitchen / living / dining / conservatory area is heated by the gleaming pewter Aga cooker, which can be boosted by a woodburning stove on colder days. Sky television is provided and there is a large dining table and chairs for 12.

Off the hallway is a boot room for hanging coats and storing shoes and walking boots. There is also a downstairs shower room.

There are two spacious and attractive downstairs bedrooms, which are especially suited for guests who have difficulty climbing stairs. One is a double room with French doors that open out into a small paved garden. The other is a family room with double bed and single bed.

Upstairs are four recently refurbished attractive bedrooms: a double bedroom, two twin bedrooms, and a family room containing a double and a single bed. All the bedrooms have sloping ceilings and Velux windows. There is a family bathroom, and a separate shower room.

A conservatory overlooks the private garden area with outdoor seating, visited daily by woodpeckers and other wildlife. There is an outdoor kitchen area with barbecue, pizza oven, fridge and fire pit. There is an enclosed flagged area to the rear of the property.

Fishing is available nearby, and for golf fans, both Royal Lytham and Royal Birkdale are within easy reach and there is a great choice of golf courses available locally.

If you enjoy walking, there are many footpaths and lanes to follow. The popular Nicky Nook and Grizedale Valley walks follow the river through the valley up to the reservoirs. For those who like a break along the way, the nearby village of Scorton with its café, coffee shop and pub, offers a welcome rest and the energy for the uphill walk back.

Only four miles away is the small, pleasant town of Garstang, with many small shops and a weekly market on the High Street every Thursday. Lancaster is just twenty minutes away and is a truly historic city with the Castle and Prison especially worth a visit, along with the Museum, Tropical Butterfly House, Dukes Theatre and summer plays held in Williamson Park.
