Park Brook Retreat in Lancashire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Park Brook Retreat

This idyllic lodge for two is set beside a babbling brook, amongst wooded fields at the bottom of a farm lane near Scorton, on the edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB. Away from the road, in a clearing overlooking fields and trees, this romantic retreat is the perfect holiday spot for couples visiting the North West of England.

Tucked away from the main road, the chalet is accessed by a wooden bridge onto a decked veranda that wraps around the front of the property. Here, you can sit outside and dine alfresco, then relax with a glass of wine in the hot tub!

Inside, there is a cosy, compact kitchen, a sitting area with a woodburning stove, and patio doors opening onto the decking. There is also a modern shower room and a pretty bedroom with lovely views of the brook and fields beyond.

Across the fields, you can easily walk to Scorton and enjoy a tasty bite to eat in one of its excellent licensed restaurants. Park Brook Retreat is perched on the edge of an Area of Natural Beauty, so there are plenty of wonderful opportunities for walking and cycling through this picturesque area.

If you fancy a challenge, make your way to the top of Nicky Nook behind the village. When you reach the top, you can see to Morecambe Bay, Blackpool and the Lake District.

On a clear day, you can even make out the faint outline of the Isle of Man! Another great place to visit is Wyresdale Park, a beautiful country house estate that often hosts covered markets, but also offers walking and fishing.

A wonderful holiday home, with lots to see and do nearby.

Park Brook Retreat Reviews

Our fourth stay at the retreat, we love being surrounded by nature and the wild life. The hot tub is a bonus but we didn't use it this time because of the weather. The property is remote but a short drive to the village. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day.

This is just what we had been looking for as a little getaway for some back to nature chilling. The pheasant was at the door before we had unpacked and the squirrels visited us regularly. It was great to sit in the jacuzzi watching the meteor showers every night. Andy was so helpful in keeping the jacuzzi clean and making sure we were ok. Will be back.

Thomas

Throughly enjoyed it. Quiet and relaxing. Fully equipped of everything you could possibly need. Visits from squirrels and pheasants all day. Will go again.

Best holiday we had for a few years, what a fantastic place this is Beautiful surroundings Very relaxing holiday Highly recommended when looking for a beautiful break away.

After booking our stay, I found some negative reviews of the property, which worried me a little. However, we also found many great reviews and as it turned out, the positive reviews were accurate. The property has two cabins, but they are positioned in a way that they don't interfere with each other. The place is peaceful with plenty of wildlife, although some of it may be a bit overwhelming you know who you are pheasant. I particularly enjoyed the squirrel that would visit us every morning and knock on the door for food. The owners are very friendly, attentive and available if needed. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with a hot tub to enjoy soaking those aching muscles and the stress of work, this place is a great choice.

Wow what a haven! Surrounded by pheasant, geese, ducks, deer, squirrels, sheep, woodpecker and a variety of birds. Absolutely brilliant even though it rained every day.

Fabulous place. Wild life in abundance both birds and animals. Had good clear skies so was able to watch the stars from the hottub. Would highly recommend.

The quilt is stained and needs replacing

We had an absolutely phenomenal time!

Norman

Great place to stay, wonderful host. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay

I rarely give 5 full marks in every category for any context, but the Park View Retreat was simply perfect! A great location, private and picturesque, and with so much friendly visiting wildlife! The accommodation was comfortable, warm and lovely, and with everything we needed for a great week. The hosts Andy & Julia provided nice welcoming touches, for example logs by the fire and wine in the fridge, and were attentive throughout the week whenever needed. Wondeful!!!

Cynthia

Fabulous location. Lots of lovely wildlife to watch in a calming environment. The property was very well equipped, we had everything we needed and more besides. Lovely to have a large basket of firewood provided so we could relax by the fire after soaking in the hot tub enjoying the wine provided by Andy. Both Andy and Julie were helpful and accommodating throughout our stay.

Fabulous place to rest and relax. Beautiful area to be in. Plenty to do in the area. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will be back soon

Graham

Had a fantastic break lots of wildlife literally on the doorstep lovely location for exploring surrounding areas Andy was lovely to chat to and give ideas on where to visit hot tub at dusk is a must Will definitely be back

Super stay, amazing natural situation!

Beautiful chalet in beautiful grounds. Chalet had everything you needed, including a ninja air fryer. Hot tub was a lovely way to end our day. Plenty of wildlife, we loved the squirrels visiting us everyday. Would highly recommend this chalet to family and friends.

The Retreat is one fantastic place to go and relax, Total tranquility, You could be anywhere, Plenty of wildlife, The hot tub was brilliant. It was a pleasure to be able to stay and will return in a heartbeat. Thank you Andrew.

Lindsay

Perfect Retreat ! ! Lovely cabin that has everything you need in a ideal secluded spot, also now has a ninja that does make cooking in the cabin easier

Charmayne

Excellent cottage in a peaceful and tranquil setting, we will definitely book again

I was almost tempted to lie about this property, the area etc as it's such a hidden gem. But I can't. Staying here I felt like a Disney princess. Early morningdusk cue the deer grazing on the slope opposite. Early afternoon and here come the geese having a brief paddle in the stream and disappearing upwards. At any time of the day pheasants wandering about aimlessly never the smartest of birds, bless, why people shoot them I have no idea as it would be more sporting if the sport was trying to NOT run over them. Finally, the bold squirrel knocks politely at the window asking if you happen to have any treats about you. It's just amazing. The cabin has almost everything you could need for a great stay 1 minor irritation is no bathroombedroom bin just kitchen one but it's not that big of a deal. I have always thought that money is for experiences not things and so I always try to book interesting places to stay and have never gone back to the same place twice. I would for this place and am certainly planning to, if not this year then the next. The surrounding area too is so beautiful and not very touristy which I like. I have to say the best holiday I've had in this country.

The location is absolutely beautiful, in a valley surrounded by trees with the brook running right by the property. We had a wonderful time, relaxing in the hot tub watching all the wildlife around us pheasants, deer and rabbits in abundance. The cabin is very spacious and cosy for two people. There is another cabin close by but not overlooking. Arrival and key collection was very simple, a keycode for the main gate ensured no one could accidentally come down the road. Minor feedback 1. Could use an extra set of towels for taking outside to the hot tub. 2. Could use some plastic glassware for use outside and in the hot tub. Overall, an amazing place to stay, secluded and surrounded by nature, no traffic or roads nearby. Would definitely stay again.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It is peaceful with beautiful surroundings in a gorgeous location. Great facilities in the property and the hot tub at sunset with a glass of your favorite libation is a dream.

Jonathan

Awesome location, was exactly what we where looking for, Andy was on hand if ... Awesome location, was exactly what we where looking for, Andy was on hand if needed, and the property had everything for our little break away

A really nice quiet location, picturesque with amazing views. The cabin was nice and clean and the right size for a week away. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I needed peace and quiet and this was the perfect place. What a lovely place this is. The cabin has everything you need and more with the log fireplace and the hot tub. Perfect way to relax after a day out walking. Not forgetting the lovely wildlife that surrounds you. This place is wonderful and I cant wait to come back next year.

Absolutely love this cottage second time we have been and will be coming back again its so tranquil the people who own the cabins are really friendly and helpful cant do enough for you if you need them other than that they leave you to your holiday. The surrounding areas are very quaint

Jackie

Beautiful area, secluded with wildlife on the doorstep literally. We picked the hottest week of the year so far and felt very lucky . We spent a lot of time in the hot tub while looking across the fields and trees and enjoying the sunset and walking into the village no pub sadly but a couple of really lovely places to eat and drink which close at 4 and 5pm. We ate fabulous meals in The Barn and having a glass of wine in the hot tub is a tough one to top. Yes there is occasionally some traffic noise from the M6 but you can forgive that as everything else makes up for it. Andy left us a bottle of wine and a jug of milk in the fridge which was lovely. A great place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a fantastic week in this special place. The peace and quiet of this rural location was a great break away from our everyday city life. The cottage was cosy, had everything you could need and more. We enjoyed viewing the dark skies from the hot tub and meeting the local wildlife including squirrels, hedgehogs, deer and pheasants. Highly recommend a week here to recharge your batteries and make you fall in love with life all over again.

A really relaxing time at this property no street lights no cars but lots of wildlife The hot tub was definitely a bonus The facilities were generally clean although the combined cookermicrowave needed a good clean We would definitely book again for the peace and tranquillity

Edward

Lovely little place, with plently of near by attraction and, freedom to go for many walks.

Alison

Found the bed a bit too small & would of liked a full oven & not a microwave combi. Still had a lovely week in the cottage so relaxing with the hot tub. Lovely places to walk around & lots of wildlife around us. Thank you to Andy for making us feel welcome.

Jeremy

Fantastic time in wonderfully situated property. Superb outlook, at 1 with surroundings. We found bed and furniture comfortable with hot tub and wood burner outstanding. Only 'room for improvement' would be a more obvious feeling given Covid times of a property clean burner still had ashes and bathroom & kitchen could have been cleaner. Also more combi oven friendly cooking pans would be helpful. Overall very happy & would return

Norman

Idyllic place to stay, wonderful host, perfect location for days out.

Kathryn

Such a lovely cabin I would highly reccomend it. Only one thing I would make a comment on and that is there is no pub within easy walking distance. The nearest place was a cafe which was very nice but closed by the evening. Apart from that everything was lovely.

Michael

Arrive to find a bottle of wine waiting for us and a jug of milk what a lovely thought. Host amazing so friendly Private so relaxing, hot tub amazing after a long walk. Loved the wildlife Such a lovely homely place. Can't wait to go back Thank you again for making it so perfect

Beautiful little lodge. Fabulous setting next to babbling Brook and local wildlife was wonderful. Had a visit from the pheasant every day for a fre treats. The only fault I would say about the lodge is the lack of kitchen utensils. Not enough cooking dishes or serving spoons. Other than that it was lovely. The hot tub is great after a day out walking

Jeanette

It would have been helpful to have instructions. Very disappointed that we had a fly infestation. It was good that there was an electric fly killer otherwise it would have been difficult to stay.

The retreat is as its named, it is so peaceful. The wildlife watching is amazing. The hot tub is lovely at the end of the day especially when the bats come out. Owners are friendly and helpful. Would love to go back. Plenty of lovely places close by if you don't want to cook. Listening to the Brook babbling away is so relaxing.
