Jackdaws Den Reviews

Perfect little get away. From the minute you arrive you are made to feel welcome with Diane showing you around and home made cakes left for your arrival. The pod is very comfortable and every detail has been carefully thought out. The hot tub was the perfect temperature on our arrival which means you can get straight in and relax. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We will definitely be back.
Our 2nd stay at Mill House Farm Pods. Very relaxing weekend break for couples. The pods are cosy and comfortable and the amenities are great, we enjoy the hot tub and the amenities like the fire pit with complementary wood. We'll be back again!
Another great stay again over the weekend.
Great host, great pod, great location!
Thomas

The facilities are second to none and we had everything we could have asked for and more! Diane was incredibly welcome and we had a lovely chat with her shes so friendly!

Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 18 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 20 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
