What our customers say about their holidays

  We really enjoyed our stay, although the neighbours were extremely difficult.

  When we arrived we pulled into the bay by the property to unload our belongings, a young woman from the house in front of the bay immediately came out and shouted at us, she also insulted me when I told her we were only unpacking our stuff, we didn’t plan on parking there. The lady at the back said there’s been a lot of bother from them; however they didn’t bother us again. Then my husband and I were in the kitchen with the door open at the back when a large dog came bounding through the door and tried to attack me, my husband threw water on it and was able to intimidate the dog so that it moved and we managed to barricade ourselves behind the back door until finally my husband closed the door. I was quite shaken by the experience. My husband shouted through the window for the neighbour at the end to get his dog- he didn’t and it continued to bark aggressively at us from behind the door; bearing its teeth and ready to attack when we tried to open/close the door window to shout to the man. He was actually hiding behind his gate as we could see him ducking behind the door. I’m concerned that if I had have been a child or my new 12 week old puppy- this would have been a sad story. I loved the cottage though, so beautiful, comfortable and clean. I would say that I wouldn’t take children or elderly people, just in case. Unless the problem is resolved but how could you resolve this? I would not allow this to stop you renting this property- it really is that good, just be careful about the parking and be careful in the shared backyard where there’s no gate between you and the end neighbours with the dog. (The neighbour has a gate but he’d obviously opened it to let his dog out). Ok, so the garden is absolutely gorgeous, very quirky set up on two/three levels. Lovely lady lives next door feeds the seagulls everyday, be careful there’s loads of them that flock there- not a problem for us as we weren’t home in the morning. BBQ area is pleasantly arranged and plenty of seating and cushions. The lights didn’t work when we were there, but we weren’t in the garden late anyway. Overall I would stay here again because it felt very homely, but I’d be extremely careful out the back door in the communal yard part. We never saw the dog before or after it attacked us. There is a gate on the main garden and it’s one step from the back door. Just be careful as you always are in public areas. And don’t speak to the house on the left of the property, very rude. The heating was perfect, bedding ok, decor and condition of the place was just right and spotlessly clean. In a near perfect location. Two large Terraces that look across the bay- stunning. Thanks again.

  This house is beautifully presented, absolutely immaculately clean and very comfortable for 2-4 guests.

  We were let down with another place in the peaks right at the last minute, so ended up booking this the same afternoon and headed straight there. On arrival, there was a welcome pack with essentials like tea, coffee, milk sachets, biscuits, though were surprised to a bottle of wine too. The kitchen is very well stocked, even supplying things you wouldn’t expect like sandwich bags, tin foil and kitchen roll. The property is super pet friendly, with an array of pet supplies like bowls in different sizes and dog mess bags. The garden is very secure and safe for pets, and I think the artificial grass is a good call for the hire market as it’s easier to maintain for both owner and guest. There was one mess in the back garden when we arrived, but I honestly think it was a cat rather than an oversight of the owner. The care and attention of the owners comes across with a welcome manual, intricate details often missed in rentals and the additional facilities such as an air fryer, outdoor furniture and Netflix accounts on the 3 tvs! Morecambe is also pleasant with good hearted people, including the next door neighbours. There are ponies in the field next to the property, they really appreciate carrots and apples, we made very good friends with them. There is only one small thing we think could be improved and that’s the mattresses, they’re very average in quality and not in keeping with the rest of the property. You can still get a good sleep, but if they were changed for something more plush then this would be a 5* property with no flaws whatsoever. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

  We booked for a family break.

  There was my mum (73) dad (69) my sister (she has learning disabilities 43) and myself (37). We took our dogs with us too. The home has the perfect location, it's in the middle of everything you need. I do have some feedback. 1) it isn't dog friendly if you have smaller dogs, or even big dogs as you have to go down stairs to get into the back garden. My eldest dog is 12, suffers with epilepsy and is blind, he almost fell down the stairs which is a metal staircase. This isn't told in the description. 2) if you have mobility problems then this property isn't for you either. My mum had to go up 2 flights of stairs to go to bed as she needs to be near the toilet. I have had spinal surgery and I struggled myself. 3) the kitchen is amazing, but the stairs out to the back garden let's it down. 4) the cleanliness wasn't great. We left Tuesday due to my health issues and my dad's. When we arrived home, the day after both my mum & dad were unwell, both have weakened immune systems. It made me wonder because of the lack of cleanliness this may have contributed to both their illnesses. While this feedback may sound negative, for the right family who don't have the same issues as us it would be perfect. Rossall beach is perfect if you have dogs too. There is a park just past the cinema which is ideal for little kiddies.. It just isn't the right property for people with health conditions especially with the stairs being steep too or dogs who are wary of steps.

  Sea La Vie is a very comfortable, cosy, beautifully renovated and decorated holiday home from home.

  All creature comforts have been thought of by the very friendly and accommodating owner Nic. Very warm, owner keeps it at a very good temperature and was happy to increase it a bit when temperature dropped on first night (outside ). We had a really good weekend stay. Very well equipped large spacious kitchen and comfortable dining/living area. Liked the flat screen, there’s several throughout house to accommodate all the guests. The upper gallery living room is stunning and great for amazing sunset/rise views. Double en-suite and kitchenette is well thought out. Lovely big walk in shower which was good for anyone who finds climbing in and out of a shower over bath. We all enjoyed our rooms and stay. Will definitely book again. Great location right on St Anne’s on Sea front. Good amenities close by, The Beach Cafe and Lytham restaurants. Lots of places of interest to visit, like George Fornby’s house. Great shops in Lytham too. Thank you Sea La Vie, Nic.

  The house could be fabulous however the condition of wear and tear on the downstairs toilet seat and dining plates are disgraceful, unhygienic and not fit for purpose.

  There are various areas of the house thick with grime i.e.- base of bar stools, the base of patio doors. The high chair for guests with babies was thick with curdled food. I would suggest thorough checks and inspection of goods between let's. Due to the back gates being locked we were unable to place out the refuse bins for collection. This was also commented on in the guest book at the property, when previous guests arrived and refuse bins full, I am afraid this would be the case for the guests arriving after our stay.. This is a fantastic location, Cleveleys is pretty traditional seaside town with many facilities and investments to the prom and beach. We had a wonderful holiday and would consider booking this property again however with the current standard of facilities management and an expectation that guests are accepting the unhygienic equipment is an exploitation of holiday goodwill.
