  This property is a great size.

  That's the only positive thing I have to say about it. The place is filthy and smells of damp & mould. On arrival at the property I had to call the maintenance guy as I couldn't get the door open. I got it & while on the phone, he asked me if the place was clean. I said I didn't know as I'd just got the door open but told him it better be clean & he asked me to go and look! The fact he was willing to let me walk into it when it hadn't been cleaned should have told me everything. Once in, there was an overpowering smell of air freshener and damp. I eventually found a plug in & switched it off. There was mould in quite a few places & the smell was just awful. I went through to the utility room and was disgusted with what I found. The smell was even stronger there. There was a mop bucket full with filthy water. This was water from a leak in the roof! It was filthy. The washing machine also had a bit broken which could be dangerous for kids. I had to message the owner to get it emptied as it had been raining & the bucket was overflowing. I certainly wasn't touching it. It was obvious it hadn't been emptied for my arrival. It was over the floor & going in behind the machines. He did get it emptied but by the Thursday, it was going over the floor again as the bucket wasn't catching it all. I was disgusted by the place and was so upset I wanted to leave & was looking up hotels. In the end I had to stay because my 16 year old grandson is autistic & he didn't want to share a room with me & he couldn't be left in a room on his own. The games room - something he was looking forward to but after one look, he didn't go near it. The wallpaper is hanging off the walls, the owner would be better just ripping the hanging bits off. The kitchen - the lino is coming up and someone could easily trip over it. I used the cooker once, there is a horrible greasy smell around it. My grandson wouldn't use the plates, I had to buy paper plates for him. He actually wouldn't use the shower either cos it was mouldy. The backyard was full of cigarette ends. The whole place was just a mess. A mouldy bathroom with rust over the accessories. Had it not been for my grandson, I would have left as soon as I walked through the door. I honestly don't know how this property can be rented out, it's a health risk. We left a day early, I just couldn't stand it anymore.

  Wow what a fabulous weekend we have just had here at Beach View, we really did not want to come home.

  The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic, easy and very enjoyable. From booking with Sykes' to having the personal contact from the owners it was a seamless procedure. Many, Many Thanks to Gill our host. All was beautiful in the house and spotlessly clean and nothing was too much trouble, even allowing us to come out a little later than normal so we got a little extra time in this lovely house. Location was great and the views are superb, the pictures don't do the property any justice, it is much nicer in the flesh. We booked this as a base for an event we were attending locally and preferred it to the caravan option, it was one of the best decisions we have made in a while, and the price was cheaper too!!! The only down side for us, if there was one, is that we normally take our dogs away with us and they would have loved it here but it is not dog friendly. An amazing break in an excellent home from home. We would definitely recommend it, 5* Thank you soooooo much.

  Having Beach House withdrawals already !

  What a lovely property.Fantastic sea views from the Lounge and front bedrooms.The sea front is spotless with beautiful works of art placed along the promenade. The house is really clean and warm with plenty of hot water. comfortable beds with nice quality bedding and a well equipped kitchen. Situated in a really quiet location but a 2 minute walk from the high street.There are plenty of small shops and places to eat. A 10 minute walk to the tram or bus stop with a £4 all day rider ticket to use on any bus or tram,so very easy to get around Blackpool without having to take the car,with a bonus that the illuminations are now on until January. Would highly recommend The Venue and Pulcinella as places to eat locally. Unsah the owner is there every step of your holiday with great communication at all times. A big Thank-you. We hope to stay again.

  I was very pleasantly surprised at the standard of this property.

  The cleanliness could not be faulted. It was more spacious than I thought it would be. The facilities were good and the kitchen equipment also good. The cafes and shops were very near and of course the beach was just across the road. We all love being by the sea. Despite some awful weather [what does one expect on this coast at this time of year? ] we had a good time walking in the rain and knowing there was a cosy place to go back to. On the three days when we had lovely weather we had an even better time including a morning cuppa on the balcony. Whilst there we visited Anchorsholme park and cafe, and the quirky and interesting museum at Fleetwood. We walked along to the tableaus [illuminations] with the children and got a tram back. It was far preferable than having to drive home afterwards. A very refreshing and relaxing week.

  Jasmine cottage is a delightful property, in an excellent location in St.

  Annes. Although on a main road it was very quiet as its set at the back of a four storey house. Parking arrangements were on the front forecourt. The bed was very comfortable and there was adequate drawers/wardrobe space The living room/diner was nicely decorated with a large comfy 3 settee couch, small table for dining and the property very clean. The kitchen was galley style off the living room and was well equipped. The bathroom was as described and clean and plenty of towels were provided The property is very close to Ashton park which for us was a bonus. We met the owner who was welcoming and showed us around the property on arrival, We would most certainly like to return as our stay was relaxing and enjoyable.
