About this property
Resting paces away from sea in the quaint town of Cleveleys in Lancashire is Bungalow by the Sea. This wonderful, dog-friendly bungalow benefits from ground-floor living, off-road parking for two cars, a fabulous location near the beach and with direct train or bus links to Blackpool and Fleetwood and two well-appointed bedrooms, perfect for families, couples or friends looking to explore the coast, the North West and Lancashire. Make your way inside to find a welcoming sitting area where you can snuggle up with your loved ones in front of the Smart TV on the plush, leather sofas ahead of rustling up a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather the family around the dining table to tuck into their culinary creation ahead of savouring evening drinks in the fully enclosed garden while your canine companion roams freely. When the sky darkens, head inside to wash off the day in the sleek shower room before catching your rest in the king-size or twin bedroom. Find local amenities nearby including convenience stores where you can pick up essentials and pubs including Queens and Three Lights where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a much-needed break from the kitchen. The coast is also easily accessible, amble towards Rossall Beach, which is a few minutes walk away, where you and your beloved dog can explore the shores, home to the iconic Mary’s Shell, while admiring the breath-taking views across the sea. Take advantage of the excellent transport links in the town and head into Blackpool which houses the seasonal delights of the illuminations. There is something for everyone here; amble the golden shores, near by walking and cycle paths and the piers lined with traditional seaside amusements and attractions, reach the top of Blackpool tower for panoramic views over the coast and town or chase thrills at Blackpool pleasure beach. Guests can also spend the full day exploring the 32-acre Blackpool Zoo where you can find a variety of exotic animals. Experience all of this and more at Bungalow by the Sea.

The bungalow was cozy had everything we needed, short walk to Rossall Beach which the dog loved. Lovely drive to Lytham St Anne's along the coast. Weather was a bit iffy for a few days, so windy, and we couldn't go up Blackpool tower. Love Cleveleys, plenty of shops. There is a Morrisons nearby and an Asda towards Fleetwood. We just loved the peace and quiet. Thank you.

In the perfect location close to the lovely beach. The seagulls were a problem as their young were on the roof and in the front garden which resulted in the seagulls attacking us most days but this was beyond the control of the owner. Suzanne, the owner, was extremely helpful.
