What our customers say about their holidays

  We recently stayed in this lovely home for five nights at the end of a two week UK holiday visiting friends in Scotland.

  After spending time on the road in different hotels each night we were so happy to be able to use Sykes Cottage as our base. With three grown up children it is hard to find suitable accommodation that provides enough space for everyone. Thankfully with the five bedrooms and 3 and a half bathrooms there was space were perfect for all of us. We were even able to accomodate close family from Europe. It was the perfect space for us to be able to share time together. As we live in Australia we don't see our family from Europe and UK very often so it was so special to be able to spend five days together. The location was perfect as it was only a few hundred metres from pubs, cafes, the high street, Sainsburys, Aldi and my favourite the M & S food hall! Everything was within walking distance, including the beach front and one of the best fish and chip shops! We decided to cook a couple of meals and the kitchen provided everything we needed to enjoy home cooking. Even though we are from Australia (& have the best beaches!) we loved that we could walk to the beach and the piers. Even though our kids are all young adults they still loved the novelty of the English pier arcades. The house was very clean, tidy and super comfortable. We had a very minor issue at the start and Helen was super helpful and very responsive, so it was resolved quickly. I would absolutely recommend this house for anyone needing space and a great location. If we return to Lytham St Annes, this is where we will be staying.

  A wonderful house !

  We live quite close by but hadn’t realised how gorgeous the countryside is around the farmhouse . The gardens are beautiful and so well maintained. We are of an age where mattresses are important ! Apart from the double bedroom at the back of the house above the hall, the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. The pool table was a great hit with all ages of our family. Just a few suggestions. We had very watchful adults around our toddlers, however the windows upstairs are set attractively low down as per the age of the house and we felt there could be more secure locks .The second living room was hardly used. What is more important is that there is only room for 4/5 adults on the sofa in the main living room. If one has rented the house to be with family it means that if 10 of you would like to sit together ,at least 5 have to spend the evening sitting on dining chairs. Things to do Great walks from the house ,yet only a few minutes drive into Chorley for provisions. Astley Hall , Heskin Hall , Samlesbury Hall , Hoghton Tower all interesting places within a short drive. Lots of family attractions nearby.Farm visits, cinemas, bowling etc. Best of all is the lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere with peaceful views. We will certainly book the house annually if we can!

  Highly recommend!

  Lovely place! Just returned from a 2 night say at The Parlour with 6 family and friends. The parlour is beautiful, very clean, well equipped and the host Paul and Zuzana are really lovely. The house was a perfect space for us to celebrate my cousins 30th birthday, the hot tub is great and the Bluetooth speakers were very easy to connect and worked. (Unlike a lot of places I have visited before where the speakers didn’t work). The view from the hot tub and open plan dining/kitchen is beautiful and can be taken in whilst having a soak, enjoying a morning coffee or whilst dining at the large kitchen table. The mezzanine is a great space to spend that time to relax and unwind after a walk up Helsby hill or just to chill out, it is very cosy. The rooms are brilliant great sizes again well equipped with wardrobes or draws, (only complaint here is it would be handy to have a mirror in the upstairs bedrooms). The beds are very comfy and all 7 of us slept very well. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the space to ensure the guests stay is perfect and works for all guest staying and offers space to socialise together or some time to sit alone reading a book. Whether you are looking for a weekend break with all adults or longer with your children I would highly recommend The Parlour.

  Our stay at The Parlour was nothing short of spectacular.

  Myself and 6 other friends stayed here for a 3 day staycation and it completely exceeded our already high expectations. The house was uniquely designed with an upstairs open plan view of the lower floor, The Parlour is absolutely stunning with a huge outside field with a spacious hot tub (which was cleaned daily), an incredibly comfortable bed, stunning living space with cosy woodburner and a fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the well cleaned bedrooms and bathrooms. The weather was cold during our stay but that just made The Parlour feel like more of a safe haven, with the log fire and underfloor heating and peacefulness of the gated location. The owners Paul and Zuzana have done the most incredible job with this hot tub holiday cottage and are both absolutely lovely, with frequent communication and bottle of Prosecco upon arrival. We were also granted a later check out as some of my friends trains were not until later in the day. There's plenty to entertain nearby but also have the options of board games/ surround sound speakers and multiple other activities, including a pub just across the road. We had an amazing stay, and we can't wait to return already!!

  Our stay at the parlour was above and beyond expectations.

  The cottage is truly beautiful in the perfect location, being just a taxi ride away from Chester itself. I cannot fault the accommodation in any way. We were a group of 8 and there was plenty of room for everyone with all catering and facilities needed, nothing missing at all. We cooked two full meals and found all the utensils, pots, pans, glasses everything you need. Having researched the location beforehand you don't have to cook if you don't want to, there's a great foodie pub across the road, takeaways and a tesco supermarket 5 minutes drive away. Hot tub was cleaned every day, lovely and warm, easy to use, in a very private location. This is the best large accommodation I have ever stayed at, gorgeous open plan kitchen with great views over the expansive, manicured lawns, comfy beds, quiet location, plenty of fluffy bath towels, great sound system. It's an amazing house, not one of us wanted to leave. As soon as I have an excuse to book again, I will! Thank you so much for making our stay so special and memorable.
