This was our 4th Holiday at Ivy House, which speaks for itself.A lovely house with everything you need, including dog bowls etc.Lovely, comfortable beds, plenty of space, easy parking either in the drive or on the road. Very quite area, but only a short walk from the sand dunes and Fairhaven Lake, perfect for walking the dog.Blackpool, St Annes and Lytham are a a short drive away as well as other areas of interest.Andrew was very helpful and is always responsive.We will certainly be booking again as it feels like a home from home.Highly recommended
