"Nicky Nook Lodge was extremely comfortable and suited our needs perfectly."
The views from the terrace are stunning and we really enjoyed watching the pheasants, rabbits, hare, sheep and cattle.
-
"For 2 people it's smashing on the whole."
I think 4 might struggle. Little things, 3 coffee pods? Just enough towels. No sponge or j cloth to wipe down with. Motorway somewhat nearer than anticipated! But, the outlook and views, the wildlife, the over all cleanliness, outstanding. I would love to go back.

"The perfect setting for a tranquil week, beautiful panoramic views very calming."
Granddaughter loved watching the rabbits, ducks, birds and sheep so much to see with the binoculars, can see right across to Blackpool tower in the sky line lh side and to the sea rh side. Beautiful sunsets different most evenings. The position of the lodge is very private and quiet.
-
"Really, really amazing view."
.. perfect for getaway as a family or romantic getaway. Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future. Very lovely owners, nice privacy, perfect walking trails or even running areas,all super close by to the cottage.
-
"Lovely property situated on its own in grounds of owners home."
Set on high ground, the open views are superb to wake up to every morning and spectacular sunsets enjoyed from the patio every night due to the September heatwave we were lucky enough to experience. Our only criticism was that the patio furniture definitely needs a thorough overhaul, or replacing completely. Nevertheless would definitely consider a return visit.
-
"Good location and lovely views."
Comfortable and clean.....though very retro not to have duvets! Wifi billed as intermittent......but it was pretty non existent. Poor light for evening reading. Shelving in 2nd bedroom not very safe and very little room to access the bed.

Motorway noise very bad all day and all night Mattresses were rock hard Settees very uncomfortable Not enough cupboard space in kitchen for food WIFI packed up on morning of 3rd day Television signal very bad The owner did not send us any details of the key safes

"We found the directions confusing: needs to say go through Garstang and actually if Satnav set to Scorton, all quite easy from there - loved it once we were there."
Lovely outlook. V clean, comfortable and well equipped. Good shower. Suited our needs well.
-
"A beautiful and restful situation (but we did have very good weather!"
). A must for those who enjoy rabbits, hares and birds. Excellent facilities.
-
"Lodge was very comfortable."
Extra comfy king size bed. Well equipped and had everything we needed inside. Outside surrounding facing towards the coast are spectacular. Beautiful sunsets and lots of wildlife around. We had great weather but would have benefited from a parasol or similar for some shade. (Lucky us) Great advice from owners about eating out nearby.

"We really enjoyed our holiday here."
We were very impressed with everything about Nicky Nook. It was comfortable, clean and well equipped, with excellent insulation. Thank you for the wine, orange juice and the milk. The panorama from the lodge and the patio was superb. We could see south of Blackpool right up to the Lake District. We were entertained each evening by the wildlife. There were rabbits, hares, deer and moorhens to watch. We would recommend Nicky Nook for a lovely, peaceful break.

"Nicky Nook Lodge is gorgeously situated as described in a corner of the owners property though the open view over the Fylde and Lancashire cannot be described, only experienced."
We had the hares every morning, including one hopping along the patio, bunny watching in the meadow, pheasant wars, the little moorhen on the pond and a robin saying hello regularly. At night we could watch the different colours on the Tower, visible in the distance. The sunsets were SUBERB (we were lucky with the weather!!). Nearby Scorton has a shop and there are SO many walks in the surrounding area to choose from. Susan was really helpful and responsive when I needed to ask something.

"Lodge was perfect!"
Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Little touches like wine, juice & milk on arrival and a boot box for our dirty boots were much appreciated. The views were beautiful and the wildlife a delight to watch! Lodge is perfectly situated to explore Lancaster, Morecambe and the stunning Trough of Bowland. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

"Everthing to a very high standard the only negative was the uncomfortable couches"
-
"Fantastic location and place to stay."
Very comfortable and has amazing views. Could not get any WiFi at property at all, but it was not a problem for us as wanted a peaceful week away.. and exactly what we got. The owners are very thoughtful and left a lovely bottle of wine along with some milk, orange juice and some Christmas Crackers and place was very tastefully decorated. Thank you. Hope to visit again
-
"This was our second stay."
The weather was not good some of the time but the lodge was a lovely warm space to come back to. Very handy for visiting friends and family - hope to be back.
-
"Beautiful cabin in a quiet spot, well looked after."
Owners are nearby if there are any problems but we didn't need them, all was perfect. The owners were very friendly, interested in why we were in the area. Views of the countryside are amazing and so peaceful. Will definitely go back again. Thank you so much to the owners

"Nicky Nook Lodge is very well appointed and in a lovely position giving wonderful views to the coast and Blackpool Tower."
We loved watching the changing scenery and wildlife round the pond from the 2 patio windows. It's position gave easy access to Lancaster and the Tough of Bowland. We'd recommend it to our friends.
-

The Lodge had everything we needed and had amazing views. A great base for us to visit family.
-
"We really enjoyed our holiday at Nicky Nook Lodge and found the lodge comfortable, well set out and pretty much everything had been thought of and provided."
It was just right for two people, but possibly would be a bit cramped for more. We liked the location as it is good for walking with plenty of walks locally, also the view from the patio is wonderful! Yes, you can hear the M6 but otherwise it is peaceful and a joy to see all the wildlife, such as hares, herons, swallows and martins, coming in to the garden and in the fields beyond. Thank you for a good holiday.
-
"Beautifully clean and well presented Lodge."
Lovely surroundings and very easy to find .We went for a short break to relax and this is the ideal place to do that, very quiet and plenty of visiting wild life .The owner Susan came to meet us and tell us about the plans they have made for the future . We would certainly visit Nicky Nook again.
-
"Lovely accommodation - spotlessly clean and very comfortable-."
The wonderful view was an added bonus! We stayed because it was convenient for visiting family and friends - we will certainly book this again if it’s available.
-
"Lovely lodge."
So peaceful and lovely walks on the doorstep. Beds were very comfy and the lodge felt homely.
-
"Lovely Lodge with fantastic views, especially the sunsets."
Very well equipped with everything we needed.
-
"A lovely cabin, with stunning views."
The owners were very friendly and we felt at home and relaxed straight away.
-
"If you want a quiet relaxing holiday in a well appointed lodge with amazing views, Nicky Nook is just the place."
Susan and Paul the owners were very welcoming. Hopefully when this pandemic is over we will be back.
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed the week at Nicky Nook Lodge with its stunning views over the nearby countryside but the close proximity of M6 is a slight blot on the landscape."
The owners Susan and Paul were very welcoming, gave excellent easy to follow directions and went tot the trouble of providing the essential provisions including a bottle of wine which was incredibly thoughtful. The lodge was very well insulated and the hot weather coupled with humid evenings meant it was quite difficult to sleep. This is not a complaint as the great weather really added to the experience. The M6 can contribute to some unwelcome road noise especially if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
-
"This is our second time staying at Nicky Nook Lodge."
It's a place to get away & relax. Beautiful, peaceful lodge. Lovely walks. We hope it won't be too long until we can return.
-
"We loved our trip to Nicky Nook."
The location was ideal - easy to get to from the M6, amazing views and lots to do round about even if you don’t want to venture too far. The lodge had everything we needed, so well equipped and spotlessly clean. The chimnea on the patio was a nice touch too. We’ll definitely be booking again (once we can!).
-
"Very private, brilliant views and great walks."
Would benefit from having Wi-fi, but we still had a wonderful holiday. Will be booking again in the future
-
"The lodge was great , the setting was great with amazing views ."
The only slight negative was the road noise coming from the M6 about half a mile away.
-
"The home from home feeling of the lodge, with all the amenities you would need along with the amazing views and the enjoyable local walks made for a excellent relaxing holiday."
-
"An absolute hidden gem."
Beautiful location, the whole lodge was perfectly furnished. It was a home from home with gorgeous views. I think all rental owners should use this as a bench mark! I didn't want to leave.
-
"Seeing a pair of hares ion the lawn in front of the cottage several times."
-
"We loved every minute of our stay at Nicky Nook Lodge."
Lots to see and do in the area. So relaxing and views were amazing. The owners keep this lodge and grounds immaculate and they are really nice people. We would love to stay again and will be telling all our frends.
-
"We have just spent three weeks in this lovely lodge."
The owners are great, we hardly saw them at all but they were always available to help via text or email. We really appreciated the fabulous view from the Lodge, the wild life which visited regularly each day....an oystercatcher, ducks, moorhens, pheasants, grouse and the heron which fished in the carp pond every morning. Covid isolation came into force during our stay and we didn't want to leave. Will be back for more visits, the sunsets are spectacular.
-
"The lodge was fantastic, it was beautifully decorated and furnished, had everything you could possibly need and was extremely comfortable."
The views were fantastic and some lovely walks. The owners were great and would defiantly return.

About the location
SCORTON
Garstang 3.6 miles; Lancaster 8.5 miles; Morecambe 15 miles.
Scorton is a village in Nether Wyresdale, on the very edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB. Although it was originally developed around the cotton mill and railway in the 19th Century, today it is most popular with walkers and cyclists seeking refreshment in one of its licensed restaurants. The village also hosts regular Food & Gift Fairs, where you can browse a delightful selection of stalls selling cheese, preserves, jewellery and crafts, to name but a few. Nicky Nook, its best known landmark, sits at the back of the village and, as it is only a short distance from the A6, the village is a wonderful starting point for exploring Lancashire. There are fishing opportunities nearby on the River Wyre, Wyreside Lake and Cleveley Mere. A few miles up the road is Garstang, famous for declaring itself as the world’s first Fairtrade town and well-loved for its delicious local produce and regular street markets. There is so much to keep you occupied in this area; the beautiful Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve, a day at Morecambe Bay or Blackpool, along with the popular towns of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale and even Kendal and Windermere, easily reached in the car. With beautiful surroundings and an abundance of natural attractions, it is great for families, couples and friends.
