Homewood Pod, Lancashire

Homewood Pod is a cozy wooden studio-style lodge tucked away on the leafy outskirts of Forton in Lancashire. This single-storey hideaway sits among trees, offering a peaceful escape with complete privacy. Just 3.5 miles from Garstang and within easy reach of both Preston and Lancaster, it's perfectly positioned for exploring the northwest without sacrificing seclusion.

The setting feels magical. Walk down the slope from your parking spot and you'll hear birds singing their songs as butterflies dance around you. The pod sits in its own little woodland clearing. Underfloor heating keeps everything toasty even when Lancashire decides to throw its typical weather tantrum. Nearby river walks offer gentle strolls and the Forest of Bowland AONB provides stunning landscapes to explore.

Inside, this compact but cleverly designed space includes a double bed, corner sofa bed, dining table for two and a kitchen with electric oven, 2-ring induction hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. The shower room features a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. Entertainment comes via Freeview TV and WiFi.

Explore Blackpool (15 miles), with its famous Tower and Pleasure Beach. Visit Lancaster Castle (11 miles) for a dose of history. Discover the beautiful Forest of Bowland AONB (10 miles) with its hiking trails. Head to Morecambe Bay (15 miles) for coastal views and wildlife spotting.

Homewood Pod is perfect for couples seeking a romantic break. Soak in your private hot tub surrounded by trees - just you, your partner and perhaps a bottle of something bubbly. Who needs a five-star hotel when you can have your own woodland bubble? One small dog welcome too!
