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

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

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.

Sheona

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.

Pauline

Beautiful location. Very secluded and private. Since we first booked another dwelling had been built on the site but this was no problem as it was a fair distance away. and could barely be seen. Owner very friendly and helpful. A thoroughly charming little dwelling with wildlife in abundance. Great walking from the doorstep. Once we had parked we never used the car until it was time to go home. Just what we needed. Three eating places in Scorton two miles away and another about a mile walk down the lane from the cottage. The inclusion of a hot tub was a further bonus In all a wonderful much needed break.

It was a fantastic place. And brill hosts. Just a couple of things to add. Bed and sofa not very comfy. New micro wave great but no glass dishes to use. More kitchen ware needed.

Park Brook Retreat was the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. Tucked away within the seclusion of the dell, the lodge feels like you are miles away from civilisation. Beautiful surroundings and although the another lodge is onsite, the trees provide privacy and it feels like youre on your own. The hot tub is superb and adds another element of relaxation. We were lucky enough to be visited by a range of wildlife whilst relaxing and enjoying the views from the hot tub deer, hares, baby rabbits to name a few. There are plenty of local footpaths and walks to explore in the surrounding area. Easy access to the local village of Scorton. Andrew was brilliant in terms of communication about key collection etc and maintaining the hot tub. We had an excellent stay and would thoroughly recommend.

The scenery and the hot tub.

Alison

Fantastic, secluded spot the 2nd log cabin is positioned so that they really cant see the front of the cabins deck area. The hot tub was lovely and great to relax in just listening to nature and watching some incredible sunsets. The owner was friendly but we only saw him when he was treating the hot tub. The only thing that did get the better of us was .... the combi oven. The instructions didnt help. Neither did YouTube. The newer cabin has a full cookerhob. We would like to go back.

Richard

Had a great week away exploring the local area. Lovely lodge in an idyllic setting. Well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was brilliant and the entertainment supplied by the squirrels and other wild life amazing.

Victoria

Overall it was wonderful to stay here. The positives The owner, Andy, was friendly and helpful, and sitting listening to the stream every day was as relaxing as it could get. The cabin itself is cosy and really well built. The shower was excellent, the sofa comfy and the woodburner and the hottub lived up to their selling points. The notsopositives the bed for me was just ok, I woke achy a couple of times, but I appreciate everyone's different when it comes to mattresses etc. The kitchen was equipped ok but basic, it would have been nice to have more options for drinks than either a small and I mean small cup or small wine glass. I was disappointed to not find a teapot, and I didn't see a cafetiere either. The combi oven is complicated to use, I only managed to conquer the microwave. But I appreciate why it was chosen as a spacesaver. The one thing that wasn't expected at all is that this property is NOT as private as it appears to be. There is another rental property in view. After talking to Andy, he explained that it's a new unit so I'd expect the listing for this to change and state this. You can see, and be seen, by that unit when you're on the gorgeous patio and in the hot tub. They were far away enough to not be heard, and the trees do shield a bit, but not entirely. I'd return in a heartbeat as nothing was wrong enough to be grouchy, but at least I'd know what to expect and I'd definitely take my own mug and glass.

Georgina

A fantastic hideaway, a beautiful setting away from everything, daily visits from wildlife expect to feed the pheasants or they will shout at you at the door! the retreat was warm, extremely comfortable and beautiful inside and the owners incredibly friendly if you saw themneeded them. Didnt want to leave at the end of the stay.

William

Having booked Park Brook Retreat the directions to it were very accurate and the key access instructions very clear. The location is spot on and the standard of dcor very high . We loved our week here and even though the weather was wet part of the time there was so much to do in the area . The daily visit of a more than friendly pheasant was very amusing . Great location , great week . Many thanks to Andy who sorted the hot tub after I pushed the wrong button.

We couldn't help but feel ourselves unwind, has we stepped across our own private footbridge spanning the babbling brook which meandered past the picture postcard chalet, set in its own secluded valley. We let nature wrap itself around us, as we relaxed in the soothing water of the hot tub, be it in the early morning for the dawn chorus of pheasants, or the late evening for star gazing. However you decide to spend the time in this beautiful chalet, you will not fail to be won over by its charm. We had an amazing week. Would highly recommend. Thank You.
