  This is a honest review of our stay, listing all the good points and negatives.

  Good House is generally clean and tidy Settee is a corner sofa with 2 electric recliners, very comfy. Kitchen is clean and tidy and modern Bedrooms are clean if a little dated in places, (sockets very old, cables not routed just curled up in corners etc) The beds are comfy, although they do squeak a little. Fee Netflix is provided and the TV is excellent. Bathroom is clean and the shower is very nice. The downstairs windows were locked, we messaged Paul and someone came round to unlock them and let some fresh air in as it was very hot inside the house. Heating is controlled by a hive thermostat in the hallway, we turned this down as the house was very warm. The 1980s gaming machine was a nice touch. A nice basket of chocolates and biscuits was waiting for us on arrival. Not so good There is an odour when you first enter the house, its not entirely unpleasant and there has been an attempt to mask the smell with an air freshener. There were no dish cloths or tea towels for doing the dishes and cleaning the counters down The curtains in the main bedroom did nothing to stop the morning light coming through at 5am. The pool table was badly levelled, we asked Paul to come and sort this, he said he would, but unfortunately, it never happened, quite disappointing, when that was a main attraction for our boys. There was only one useable pool cue, the others were either tiny or broken. The hot tub had an error message stating the filter was 23 days overdue a change. Other useful info Parking is tight and there is a birds nest in the gutter directly above, hence car was covered in bird droppings. The front door cannot be opened from the outside without a key even if it is unlocked, so don't leave the keys inside the house and let the door shut. The knife and fork drawer is hidden inside the top drawer near the oven. If these small nuances were addressed, we would gladly stay again, the house is located in a generally nice area, close to shops and buses and trams.

  The location of the property is perfect and in a lovely quiet cul de sac.

  The owner could not be present at check in which we didn’t mind at all. However when contacted he asked me if we could put the bins out on Thursday. They actually get collected on a Wednesday-luckily the neighbour had put it out. I was quite uncomfortable with the neighbour directly opposite having a key to the property as they could see when we weren’t in. The ‘gym’ is pointless. The pull up bar is half hanging off the wall and unsafe. The patio furniture was in a pile outside and unusable. The toilet seat in main bathroom was dirty and broken. My daughter nearly hurt herself on this. The sockets in main bedroom don’t work-not one close to the mirror to do hair/makeup. The lights above the beds some work some don’t. There are no property instruction/welcome pack so we had no idea that the heating in the living/dining room was actually the skirting boards. The kitchen was grubby-used scourer pads and bits of ‘stuff’ just left on window bottom. The sofa in the living room is extremely uncomfortable. Both showers in bathroom and en-suite were dirty with the shower curtain over the bath needing to be thrown away with dirt and marks along the bottom. Every tap had limescale build up. We did enjoy our week away but did not enjoy our time spent inside the property. The smoke alarm upstairs is hanging off the ceiling-not sure if it functions. We did not contact the owner for any issues as we felt they could not have been resolved during our stay. The property needs a refurbishment.

  Good points - very clean.

  Comfortable beds, nice garden. Good solid furniture. Beautiful area, with nice neighbours. 3 good Frying pans and one saute pan. Cutlery and utensils brand new. Bad points - no sockets work in ensuite bedroom. One of the double sockets in the kitchen doesn't work or the sockets in the garden nor one of them in the single room.. Only one pan, so couldn't do potatoes and veg, you had to pick which one you'd prefer. And there was no colander. One of the pillow cases in the double room had a lot of black stuff on it. The downstairs toilets overflow kept on going so the person above could not get to sleep for it. We couldn't get into the house till just after 4pm instead of 3pm. The cleaner and the owner finally left but had to call him back immediately as we couldn't get out the patio door, he came back immediately and fixed it. He then said his wife told him to cut the grass when he was there as it desperately needed done. We finally got the house to ourselves after 5pm. He did say we didn't have to leave until 11am on departure day instead of 10am. If all these were fixed then it would be an excellent house to holiday in. It's close to all amenities, superstore within 1mile, cleevlies and Fleetwood all within a few miles, and the big shopping experience at Freeport is just a few miles away too. The house is beautiful and spacious and room for 3 cars in the driveway. The

  A lovely property with so much space.

  A massive through kitchen, conservatory, with 3 sets of doors to open in the summer, dining, sitting room. Just right for entertaining a large family, with cupboards and drawers full of everything you might need and a cosy snug for quiet moments, and downstairs wc. A master suite with large comfy bed and sofa and great wet room, tv and so much space. Three more large bedrooms, no single beds, one with TV. A huge bathroom with walk-in shower and a jacuzzi bath you could get lost in. Lots of seating in the garden for warm days and a hot tub, which we did not try. Location is just off A585, but you would not know it. We walked into Cleveley in around 20 mins. Here you can get bus/tram to Fleetwood or Blackpool or get a giant meringue at Cleveleys Kitchen! We also had a very nice meal at Pablo's in Fleetwood. They close at 3p.m., so it's good for long lunches. Staff are very nice. We cycled on the sea front at Fleetwood and from the south of Cleveleys, right through to Star Gate. All off the road, so great for families. We also cycled round Stanley Park and out past the Zoo. Another good ride for families and the cafe in the park is well worth a visit. We sat outside with the bikes and people stopped to talk to us!

  First time staying Here.

  We are a family of 6, 2 adults 4 children.and 2 dogs, We loved staying here so spacious clean and their is lots to entertain the children and thos was an added bonus 4 in 1 games table. a arcade machine that is free to play. Out side full sized pool table plenty of books and games. And also the hot tub we used everything and everything is on your door step, beach shops, arcade and plenty of restaurant's pubs ect. We enjoyed it that much we ask the lovley freindley Paul if we could add another night short notice,but nothing was two much and he made it happen. The beds are comfy and plenty of towels and everything you need to cook for a big family was available to hand. The back garden is secure so no worries of the dogs escaping and all artifical grass which is great no muddy paws. And the conservatory was very cosy for are morning coffee. We very much look forward to coming back.
