  Had a lovely stay at Westwood House.

  We were there when the weather turned cold and had to message the owner a few times to turn the heating on. Later we found all the radiators were switched off, but we had already spent two days very cold. Very spacious kitchen area with a heated floor. It has some nice touches, but it does feel a bit like Inspector Gadgets house. For example the shower has 8 knobs to turn to get anything to work, with a multitude of different lighting patterns illuminating the shower head, not sure who would need that? Lights switch on and off as you walk around the house, which is actually quite useful, but disconcerting for the first few yards in the dark before they ping on. It has a tap that supplies boiling water instead of boiling the kettle, again useful, but my wife managed to put it into child lock mode and couldn't unlock it until my children showed her how. Every TV operates using a different set of A4 instructions and several controllers. Even the microwave needed an instruction manual. Bed squeaked like crazy when moving around, we've informed the owner, as I wouldn't want anyone else going through 7 nights of that. That aside, it's a lovely period property, and the owner was very friendly and tried to be helpful throughout. It just needs that extra touch to make it a home from home.

  Well equipped large dwelling, with lovely quality clean bedding and towels, along with washing machine and most other kitchen essentials, except a dishwasher, which for large groups would be preferred over tumble dryer.

  Big issue in bathrooms, with literally nowhere to hang a towel, gown, toilet roll, along with not a single wall mirror throughout home. Also lacking coat hooks, so definite need for more storage, especially with staying a week. The same in the kitchen, no real space to store food, other than large integrated fridge freezer. We ideally wanted a more rural cottage, with more garden, as this had large shared carpark with very high small garden other side, not ideal for younger children and again shared. Despite the obvious history of the building, there is no original features and work hasn't been carried out to a particularly high standard, though all very clean. I feel this is better suited for few days as base, or for groups of adults as easily walkable into Rawtenstall, which has a full array of food and drinking options, along with loads of supermarkets and shops. We enjoyed our week there, had amazing weather and explored a fabulous part of the country, but not quite what we are used to, and happily admit to that partly my own fault in not researching better. Annette a lovely chatty and friendly lady x

  We have stayed in plenty of holiday rentals and this has been the best in terms of design, comfort and sheer attention to detail.

  For a detached, two-bed bungalow it's amazing. This was our first time in the Morecambe Bay area and when we return, we will surely stay at 12, Merefell Road. The bungalow is located within easy access to all the places we wanted to visit, including Morecambe, Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, Arnside and Carnforth. The kitchen is well-stocked and it was very thoughtful of Vicki to leave some milk; and even better to see a bottle of fizz and a couple of cold bottles of lager in the fridge. Teabags and coffee sachets are nice, simple touches, so often missed elsewhere. The shower is the best I've ever used. It's powerful and very easy to control. It has both a normal showerhead, which can be hand-held and a rain showerhead. A great shower makes a big difference. I'm going to get one of those floor mats for our bathroom. The beds are big and very comfortable, with four pillows. All the linens are of high quality. Space for two cars off the road. And it's really good value. Just don't book the week we want to return!

  The host gave me a call a few days before to go over a few things which was great.

  The house is beautiful, very clean, great setting 2 minute walk to the lovely town. Very well equipped house, very high standard furnishings and great for 2 families as there are 2 large bathrooms and a toilet downstairs. The kitchen, living area is stunning with lots of light and leads in to a lovely, sunny garden. The neighbourhood is ver friendly and everyone is happy to chat. Lytham is a lovely town, fabulous restaurants or take seats if you want to stay at home. There is a great walk way from Lytham to St Anne’s, wide path for cyclists and walkers and safe for kids. Lovely park round the corner for people to enjoy the tranquil setting, there is a play park for kids, a cafe and bowling. There is a great park with tennis courts and crazy golf at Fair haven Lakes which also has a coffee wagon with great coffee and there is a kiosk with ice cream. Lots of ducks and swans there to look at. I have stayed in some lovely places in the world and this is definitely in my too 10 and worth a visit.

  We were fortunate enough to stumble across a last minute cancellation to stay at Bleasdale, I had no idea really what we were booking I just thought I’d make it adventure whatever it be! My husband, 3 boys and I were blown away by they beauty of the site and the size and look of the safari tent. Keith and Debbie were fantastic nothing was too much trouble and they were very welcoming, communication was great. We loved every minute of our magical adventure, the tents are spaced generously unlike a lot of sites, they are well stocked with everything you might need and the beds are cosy not sofa beds or futons as you often find whilst ‘glamping’ we are definitely hoping to return! Highly recommended!
