🎄✨ Hospitality Isn’t Just for Christmas & New Year! ✨🎄

Every year it happens…
Everyone wants New Year’s Eve. The phones ring, the inbox fills, and the same weekend sells out first.

But here’s the truth — New Year is overrated. 🎆

Hospitality isn’t just about Christmas or New Year – it’s about keeping places like Coldwell (and our local shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants) thriving all year round.

By choosing quieter dates, dining out when others stay home, and supporting local venues in the off-season, you’re helping to keep the heart of hospitality alive – and in some cases saving yourself a fair bit of money while you’re at it.

If you’re planning a family or friends get-together, why not choose the weekends before or after Christmas instead?

They’re calmer, cheaper, and you’ll probably find more people can come — because they’re not juggling ten other parties or family dinners!

At Coldwell Activity Centre, you still get:
✅ Exclusive use of our 13-bedroom countryside retreat for up to 40 guests
✅ Early check-ins and late check-outs — no rushing home
✅ A fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen to cook (or cater) your way
✅ Bring your own food and drinks — save a fortune compared to hotels 🍷
✅ Games room, walks from the door, and plenty of space to celebrate together

The only thing missing is the price tag of New Year’s weekend.

So, if you’ve got a big birthday, anniversary, or just fancy a proper catch-up, this might be the best time to do it — without paying peak prices.

📅 Available dates include weekends in December, January, February & March.
💌 Message us here or email [email protected] to grab yours before they’re gone.

Because let’s be honest… It's not the date that makes it special.
It’s the people you share it with. ❤️

History today from 18th October 1895 article about a chap being drunk at the Coldwell Inn. It is a great peek into those past times. Imagine if you were arrested these days, there would not be anyone left in pubs on a Saturday! 😆

Need convincing some more ? Check-out our latest feedback:
We have held two 38 people family gathering at Coldwell over the last 3 years and i cannot recommend this beautiful place highly enough.
The facilities are excellent and can certainly accommodate all of our wonderful family whose ages ranged from 3 to 83.
The kitchen is industrial with everything you could wish for and certainly made our cooking experience very easy. The superb dining room overlooking the reservoir is airy, and allows us all to sit together. We even had quizzes in there on an evening. From Snooker, table football, table tennis, and board games we had so much to entertain ourselves with on an evening. The numerous walks from Coldwell, many leading to a pub were excellent and easy enough for all the age range.
We have booked our third gathering already and cannot wait to see our beautiful family congregate there again.
The staff at Coldwell are extremely friendly and will go the extra mile to help you out.
5 star all round from us

What a beautiful autumn 🍁 morning for our guests from UCLan Health & Wellbeing 😍😍

13/10/2025

I’ve been asked to create something new to me.
A one-on-one, foraging experience as a birthday gift. So here we are, trying something new and exciting!

Imagine spending an afternoon immersed in nature, exploring wild plants, trees, and mushrooms, while learning about our deep connection to the natural world. We’ll forage together and transform our discoveries into a nourishing tea, brewed over a stove in the heart of the wild. Along the way, the lucky recipient will receive handcrafted gifts, made from these foraged treasures, like a soothing balm, a restorative tincture, or whatever best suits their personal needs.

This is more than just a present, it’s a deeply personal, hands-on adventure, designed to reconnect us with nature in a beautiful, fun, and meaningful way.

And it’s not just for one! Whether it’s a one-on-one experience or a private group booking for friends and family, this wild adventure can be tailored to your wishes. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply to gift someone a unique, unforgettable experience. I’ll work closely with you to craft the perfect day, customised to your loved one’s desires and within your budget
Get in touch and we will tailor the day together, for your loved ones. 4/5 hours (or more if we get carried away) in the woodland (or wherever) of your choice. Or, you could come and use our cosy cabin and nature reserve, if you’d prefer.
Starting at £50
