"FOREVASINGLEMAN stayed here in this Garstang self catering property over the 2023 into 2024 Christmas and New Year festive season period from Friday 22 December 2023 to Saturday 6 January 2024 all by my happy oneself and generally i did enjoy it."
A welcome pack of two small bottles of wine, one white, one red, one pack of Fox's chocolate biscuit cookies, one large bag of crisps, and one 1 litre carton of Sainsbury's semi-skimmed milk awaited me internally. The property is overall very good, big smart digital colour TV, double bed, shower, etc, including the gas powered hot water and central heating. One slight disadvantage was the wi-fi, broadband, internet connection which on some occasions, either cut off completely, or/ and was slow occasionally too, having to reboot the wi-fi hub (Post Office type hub) but apart from this a wonderful holiday i had all on my happy own, and being a very happy forever single man myself, no brain damage whatsoever from no nagging partner, especially over the festive season. I recommend this property, and yes if this holiday let still continues as an establishment as such, i will definitely holiday here at this establishment once again in the near future, if another opportunity arises again all by myself always. Then again Garstang is a very nice small town, and there is always one possibility i may one day not holiday here (in Garstang) any more, and instead i may even consider a future relocation to Garstang permanently (?), which for me is more of a permanent holiday than just a temporary holiday. Many thanks to the property proprietor Keith for this holiday let. From a happy oneself holiday maker Mark Fletcher AKA FOREVASINGLEMAN.

"We had a perfect week in your lovely clean bungalow."
Thank you for the biscuits crisps and wine and realy apreciated the tea coffee sugar and milk that was provided. Garstang high street is a few hundred yards away but the bungalow was in a quiet cul de sac. Very dog friendly centre with lots of independant shops and 3 supermarkets within 5 minutes walk. Lovely walks with our dog by the river and the canal. We had days out in the car but there is a bus stop within a minutes walk. Parking was easy and all in all i have no complaints

"A lovely little bungalow for 1 or 2 people."
Clean and tidy throughout with good information from the owners and everything you need for your stay. Lovely welcome pack and, if you bring your dog and forgot towels or bowls, there are some available to use. The location is great too, with excellent walks from the door and the town centre shops and restaurants close by, plus the beautiful Trough of Bowland and Wyre Coast an easy drive away. I had to work a couple of days while I stayed here and it was also perfect for that. The only potential issue is if you have a large car as parking can be a bit tight, particularly at the weekend. That wouldn't stop me recommending it though

"Great accommodation."
Extremely clean and comfortable. Well presented and equipped. Would highly recommend.
-
"Very clean, compact house."
Quiet but very close to town center. Private parking but can be awkward due to cars on road. There is no electric fire.

"Absolutely loved our stay in this fantastic cottage so much so we did not want to go home."
The cottage was clean and well equipped and the area was so quiet and peaceful. Loved that we had all those fab shops on our doorstep as well. The welcome pack and Milk was very much appreciated and helped enhance our stay, we would definitely book again. Watching the bats flying around at night from the cottage front door was an amazing.
-

"Wyreside is a comfortable and spacious bungalow situated a very short walk to a very friendly town with lots of amenities."
The enclosed back garden was ideal for Roger our dog and we will definitely be back.. thanks for the welcome pack. We would highly recommend
-
"It's in need of a little TLC, some of the wallpaper needs sticking back down and the garden furniture needs a steam clean."
The shower could with a caddy or a free standing storage unit, the good thing is you have designated parking and it's a short walk into the village.
-
"A very clean and well prepared bungalow."
The location is great, just on the north side of garstang around 45mins from Windermere and 35mins from Blackpool. However, lots of places to visit on the doorstep with lovely canal side walks for example. Look forward to a return visit.
-
"Our second visit as we liked the bungalow and Garstang."
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed another stay at 8 Wyreside."
Lovely little bungalow which we find very comfortable and clean. Kitchen is well equipped and there are even furniture throws, towels and bowls for the dog. Nice bathroom too! Grateful for the wine, crisps and biscuits left for us. Short walk onto Garstang high street which we enjoying pottering down- great cheese stall in the indoor market. Plenty of Supermarkets in walking distance plus pubs or other eateries and easy access to riverside walks. I doubt this will be our last visit.

"Perfect bungalow for 2, very spacious and comfortable, quiet area dut very close to the town centre."
-
"Comfortable and warm accommodation in a brilliant location for exploring the surrounding area."
Right on the edge of town but quiet and relaxing. Everything we needed was on hand, off road parking and nearby bus stops a big bonus. 5 minutes walk to supermarkets and to the beautiful riverside, 10 minutes to the canal paths. An enjoyable few days in a party of the country we had not been to before but will probably return! Thank you.
-

"The property is in the perfect location."
A lovely quiet culdesac with a designated parking space. Inside the property is spotless with a lovely set of treats on arrival. Everything you could possibly need is provided like some condiments, all kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies and for the dogs extra dog blankets/ poo bags/treats. This cosy cottage was an enjoyable place to relax after long walks. 2 minutes away is a large range of local shops, Sainsbury’s and Booths are also less than 5 minutes walk away. I will be recommending to friends and family. This was the perfect relaxing week before the hectic Christmas season.

"The bungalow is in a lovely,peaceful area,great to recharge your batteries!"
It has been very well equipped with everything you need for your stay.We found the mattress on the bed too soft for us but that's down to personal choice!We did leave a couple of hopefully helpful suggestions for the owner as I think feedback is very important for them.All in all a very relaxing,enjoyable stay.
-
"Nice property, very clean and well equipped."
Only thing missing is dishwasher (but appreciate there’s no space). Lovely bathroom with a great shower. Thank goodness for the private parking as it’s a busy street! Small enclosed garden with beautiful magnolia tree in bloom overhanging from garden behind. We will be back as have relatives we visit in Cabus,
-
"Very enjoyable stay here."
Kitchen very well equipped, great hot shower, relaxing settees. Nicely decorated, and lovely bedding and towels. I appreciated the lovely treats on arrival, the doggie towels and throws, large tv with apps eg Netflix, Blackpool jigsaw (I’m from there originally!), books and games, 2 minute walk to the river and to the High Street for shops and supermarkets. Thorough info pack too. Excellent base for exploring Trough of Bowland and the Lancashire fells. Plenty of good walks along the river and canal from the bungalow. Market day on Thursdays. Lots of places to visit from Garstang. Only downside was the very intermittent WiFi , despite rebooting many times. Kept losing signal so not good if you were wanting to work whilst there or watch the TV apps say, but probably the Garstang area reception and not the router. However, I would highly recommend staying here. It is a lovely bungalow and I really enjoyed my stay. The weather was excellent too! Thank you
-
"As on previous visits the bungalow was very clean and well presented."
Dodging the rain we took several riverside walks and on a fine dry day visited Lytham St Anne's. Great expanse of beach to walk our dog. Several good pubs or other places to dine out in Garstang and we enjoy a wander along the high street and outlying streets where there are plenty of shops to top up your supplies.
-
"Lovely, compact accommodation and very convenient for the town and shops."
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd visit to Garstang and the bungalow."
The property was very clean and well presented and resourced. The close proximity to the shops, pubs and restaurants is ideal. Locally there are plenty of good walks for the dog and providing throws for the furniture and towels for the dog are such a good idea too. We hope to return and would recommend to friends and family.
-

"Great bungalow, very well equipped."
The welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Bungalow right in the heart of Garstang so car not really necessary. There are amazing restaurants and any number of pubs to eat in, boutique shops and many walks start from Millennium Green just round the corner. I will definitely be staying again.

"Felt like home instantly,we had everything we needed"
-
"Wyreside bungalow is very comfortable nicely furnished and very well equipped."
It was very clean and the utility room was so handy for storing our walking gear. We liked the separate kitchen and the sitting out area at the back. On top of this it is extremely convenient with just a short walk to the high street and shops. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful. Access to the parking bay although never blocked could be difficult at times, but nevertheless great to have a parking space. We would definitely go back.
-
