The property offers comfortable bedding and essential amenities for a pleasant stay, despite some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements.
The majority of guests reported the apartment as clean and well-maintained, with only one report of a smell of smoke and a stained settee covered with a throw.
The location is praised for being peaceful and within easy reach of good walks, the town centre, bus stops, and the beach, making it ideal for guests.
Guests found the beds and linen very comfortable, but some noted issues with the water pressure and heating, and one mentioned the apartment being too cold for a toddler.
While the kitchen facilities are described as brand new, there are several mentions of poor water pressure, heating issues, and minor maintenance concerns like a broken towel holder and cracked mirror surround.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Tucked away in the popular seaside town of Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire, is this second-floor apartment set within a Victorian bay fronted property, Apartment 3. Enjoying a superb location within easy reach of the beach, local amenities and the seaside resort of Blackpool, Apartment 3 is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples or a family of four. Within your new home from home, you will find a well-equipped kitchen for whipping up your best dishes, ready to enjoy at the bistro table for two, or at the dining table for four, as well as a lovely living/dining room, where you can kick-back and relax on the plush seating in front of your favourite film on the Smart TV. Continue through to find a well-appointed bathroom, where you can wash away the day’s adventures with your choice of bath or shower, before choosing from two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a king-size and a single with pull-out bed, to catch up on some well-deserved rest. Explore the town, where you can test out your swing at the excellent Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, spend a day on the golden sands of St Anne’s Beach, enjoy leisurely strolls through Ashton Gardens, stock up on essentials at the supermarket, or dine at the popular eateries of Un momento, Tiggis, and Greek Flame Taverna. Continue onto Fairhaven, where you can spot the local wildlife at the RSPB Fairhaven Lake Visitor Centre, or to Lytham, where you will find the attractions of Lytham Hall, Lytham Windmill, Lytham Heritage Centre, and the Lower Pavilion Theatre. Further afield, you’ll find Blackpool, home to the famous Blackpool Tower which houses the Strictly Come Dancing Ballroom, Blackpool Zoo, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Madame Tussauds, and a sea life centre. All this and more awaits at Apartment 3.
Lytham and St. Annes-on-Sea, two popular seaside resorts, are situated along a stretch of coast dotted with beautiful parks. This beautiful region relied solely on fishing for hundreds of years until the advent of the Industrial Revolution, when the area's wealthy residents began establishing a pattern of prosperity that has persisted to the present day. The Lytham seafront is just a short stroll away from the leafy Clifton Street, where you'll find a wonderful selection of locally owned shops, cafes, and restaurants. Lytham Green is a grassy stretch between the beach and the main coastal road that serves as a landmark due to its location, proximity to the Welsh Mountains, and the fact that it is where you can visit the restored Windmill and the Old Lytham Lifeboat House museum. Visitors interested in beer can tour the Lytham Brewery, while nature lovers and birdwatchers will appreciate the Ribble Estuary, which provides shelter to over 250,000 migrating birds every winter, and the rolling sand dunes of St. Annes-on-the-Sea. There are four golf courses in the area, the most prestigious of which is the Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club, which has hosted the Open Championship on two separate occasions. St. Annes-on-the-Sea has all the classic seaside attractions, such as a pier and colourful beach huts, that tourists have come to expect from a day at the beach. St. Annes Square and Wood Street, with their quaint cafes, tearooms, restaurants, and boutiques, are just a few minutes' walk from the pier. Lytham St. Annes is a charming coastal town perfect for long walks, sunny afternoons on the sand, and exciting day trips to nearby Blackpool. A number of award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, and wine bars can be found in the area, as can opportunities for boating, cycling, shopping, and swimming. Lytham St. Annes is a wonderful option for a vacation by the sea regardless of your preferences.

We did too have difficulty with hot water and water pressure in the property, which we alerted the owner too when we checked in. The rooms appear more spacious on the photos over all it was adequate for our few days away.
