Stake Pool, or Stakepool as it is more commonly known, is a small hamlet in rural Lancashire, England, located midway between the bustling seaside resort town of Blackpool and the ancient hilltop city of Lancaster. Stake Pool is conveniently located near the Forest of Bowland aonb, as well as the many tourist hotspots in the neighbouring Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park. Although it is a small community, there is the Elletson Arms, a village pub, serving a variety of drinks and tasty pub meals, making it perfect for those nights when you don't feel like cooking. It's not far to the coast, where you can bask in the sun on Fleetwood Beach, or families can visit Blackpool to check out all the fun things to do along the boardwalk. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is home to a variety of thrilling rides, including the historic wooden roller coaster Big Dipper (erected in 1923) and the observation deck of Blackpool Tower, where visitors can take in breath-taking views of the sea. In addition to the beach, visitors can visit the SEA life aquarium and the world-famous wax museum Madame Tussauds, both of which are located right on the boardwalk. You may also go the other way, to Lancaster, and learn more about the area's past at Lancaster Castle and the museum. You can get a great overview of the Northwest from Stake Pool.

So comfortable, clean and cosy! There was everything provided that you needed and more. As soon as we walked in we were instantly relaxed. The owner was so friendly and helpful, nothing was a bother. Jacuzzi was fabulous and so well maintained by the owner. We would 100% recommend this property!âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

Very dog friendly and spotless. Refurb has been carried out to an extremely high standard with quality fittings and fixtures. Wish we could have stayed longer. We spent Christmas week here and the owners went all out to decorate before our arrival. Would be very happy to return.
Jessica
Picked due to location not being too far from home and hot tub being an essential requirement. When we arrived it felt so cosy and warm. Very clear guide with instructions etc. Kitchen very well equipped and again loved the open plan layout. Everything seemed to have been thought of like sliders for going to the hot tub and towels especially for the hot tub. Never been anywhere that does that and made a big difference. All in all we had a very relaxing weekend and there was plenty of space. Paula and Brian were so friendly and helpful in the lead up to us arriving and answered any questions promptly. Will definitely return hopefully in the future. Lovely cosy group house for families and chilled out groups.
