The details

Woodpecker Cottage is a luxurious, stone-built retreat nestled in the heart of the Lancashire countryside, offering the perfect setting for a large group getaway. With seven bedrooms - six of them ensuite - it’s ideally suited to six couples, extended families or groups of friends celebrating a special occasion. Its peaceful, rural setting on the brow of a hill offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching across open countryside to the coast and the distant Lake District fells.

This detached property combines traditional charm with modern luxury, creating a warm and welcoming space for guests to relax and reconnect. The heart of the home is the grand conservatory lounge, where towering windows flood the room with light and frame sweeping views. An ornate fireplace set within a striking stone wall, paired with deep, comfy sofas, makes it the perfect place to gather by the fire, day or night. For more casual moments, the main living room is also nice and cosy with a smart TV for movie nights.

Woodpecker Cottage has been thoughtfully designed for socialising, with a large open-plan living area that includes a dining table seating over 16 and a stunning designer kitchen complete with two, two door ovens, a wine cooler and granite worktops. A separate utility room and cloakroom add to the convenience, while underfloor heating keeps things cosy year-round.

Sleeping arrangements are flexible and spacious, with accessible ground-floor bedrooms including a wheelchair-friendly ensuite with stylish fittings. Upstairs, the five additional bedrooms offer a mix of doubles, singles and family rooms to suit all group types, including a smaller single room ideal for a child.

On warm days step outside into your peaceful and private garden that backs onto woodland. Here, you can listen out for the tapping of the resident woodpeckers. A raised deck and seating area is perfect for soaking up the afternoon sun, while the covered outdoor kitchen - complete with pizza oven, BBQ, fridge and bar - sets the scene for unforgettable evenings. A built-in firepit and a bubbling hot tub with stunning views add that final touch of luxury to your countryside escape.

Rural Lancashire is the perfect place to slow down and soak up the beauty of the countryside. Wander through the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ideal for walking, cycling and spotting local wildlife. Explore historic market towns like Garstang, with its charming shops and peaceful canal paths. Meander through pretty villages, stop in at cosy pubs, or stock up at welcoming farm shops.
