The house is beautiful and welcoming. We had a lovely basket for off treats and they left treats and a blanket, wipes and poo bags for the dog. The beds were comfortable. The area itself is very nice and within walking distance to the beach and squirrels woods. Plenty of pubs around for food and drinks. We traveled to Manchester as we had tickets for coronation street tour which was only one hour away.

Property was exactly as described. Very clean. Family friendly. A perfect home from home for us, grandparents, son, daughter-in-law and 9 month old baby and small elderly dog.Lovely warm and welcoming house. Cot, high chair and baby bath provided. Dog treats, blanket, towel and toy an added bonus.Lovely sized garden with lots of plants, flowers and birds. Great to look out onto the garden and watch from the kitchen diner and snug room.
