• "We found the cottage to be very well equipped and spotlessly clean."

  Everything we needed was there and our hosts, Janet and David were very helpful, answering any questions we had and providing advice when requested. The cottage is in a lovely quiet location but only a short drive from all the attractions that we wanted to visit. The welcome pack which included local honey and chocolates was a lovely surprise. The chickens were also very amusing. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would totally recommend the cottage to others. We will certainly be looking to return.

  Thank you Jeanette for your feedback. It is lovely when guests appreciate this area of Lancashire and all I endeavour to offer at The Stables. Once again the chickens get a mention! Property Owner

• "Excellent property we were met by Janet & David on arrival as they were in their beautiful garden."

  The Stables was beautiful decorated to a very high standard. Everything you would need for a wonderful home from home including a fantastic welcome pack. The chickens are a fun interaction. We turned right out of the farm and went on a five mile circular walk where we came across some lovely tea rooms. Turn left out of the farm and there’s a beautiful walk of about a mile to a pub. The products in the bathroom were so fabulous I have ordered them for myself. There is an amazing log fire we didn’t need it but it would be lovely in the winter. Great internet connection. We will definitely return.

  Thank you Lorraine for your feedback. Great to hear you enjoyed the products too .The wood burning stove is great in winter. The chickens win every one over ! Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage very clean beautiful white bedding and towels , lovely hot shower and the welcome pack an added bonus so kind ."

  Janet and David are friendly hosts and the cottage is a credit to them . The chickens are also friendly and like a treat if you have any lol . There are lots of places to visit in the surrounding areas . If I could suggest one thing would be a small coffee table in front of the couch .but aside from that everything else was fab would highly recommend.

  Thank you Gillian for your lovely feedback. Thanks also for drawing my attention to a coffee table , it has been mentioned before. I intend to address this once I find one that fits the space and complements the decor. The chickens never miss an opportunity for treats ! Property Owner

• "Perfect, perfect, perfect!"

  Very comfortable and well appointed accommodation. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Great quiet location with views over the adjacent fields. Amusing company provided by the little resident flock of chickens - providing hours of entertainment, but who were not shy in requesting treats. I really did not want to go home. In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger - “I’ll be back”

  Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your stay and it would be great to have you back ! Property Owner

• "We stayed here for 4 nights and it was fantastic!"

  Janet and her chickens welcomed us upon arrival. There were plenty of resources in the cottage plus welcoming snacks, toilet roll and hand soap etc. We didn’t find the sofa as comfortable as we’d have liked too especially as we rarely left the cottage and were staying a number of nights. We’d have also loved to have a coffee table but did manage without. The chicken’s were very friendly and loved stayed outside the front door. Plenty of parking and given plenty of towels including for the kitchen as well as bathroom. We enjoyed an evening walk as well and looking at the beautiful greenery surround the cottage. The whole cottage was absolutely immaculate and well looked after! It was quiet and didn’t hear cars very often - only the chickens from time to time when they came to visit us. Thank you for a lovely stay! ☺️

  Thank you Katie for your lovely feedback. I constantly look to improve guest experience so I take on board everything you say. I am delighted that you enjoyed the quiet and surrounding countryside which is beautiful at this time of year . Janet Property Owner

• "We had a lovely peaceful week in The Stables."

  Set in a quiet rural setting The Stables is perfectly placed for visiting many places such as Lytham and Southport. We had a warm welcome by Janet and received a nice welcome pack. Despite the cold weather we were warm inside thanks to the central heating, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped; a comfortable lounge area with Freeview TV; decent WiFi; great shower. Everywhere was immaculately clean. Great to see some chickens and cockerel roaming around, coming to say hello from time to time. We would definitely stay again here when we come back to the area, and highly recommend it.

  Thank you Stuart and Kim for your feedback, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and the facilities in The Stables.I am also pleased to hear that finally the WiFi is reliable ! The Chickens never miss an opportunity to say hello. Property Owner

• "The owner, Janet was very friendly and accommodating on our arrival."

  We explained we were between moving houses and had quite a few bags in our car. To save cluttering our space with our extra belongings, Janet kindly provided some storage space elsewhere during our stay, this was great as we didn’t have to worry about keeping it in the car either! The accommodation was completely spotless and the kitchen had everything you could need. So much information listed in the information pack provided. The area itself was very quiet and peaceful (day and night) resulting in some great nights sleep. The owners were only a knock (or text!) away if we ever needed anything. The chickens were an enjoyable bonus to simply watch wandering around the garden or sat waiting to greet you by the doorstep. It was also nice to have the unexpected welcome pack with some delicious goodies on arrival too! Thanks again for a great stay

  The owners, Janet and David are very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Always on hand if you need them, but still respecting our privacy during our stay. Cottage is very clean, well equipped and in such a lovely rural location. Great for local walking, especially to the village of Longton, which has great pubs and restaurants, aswell as a Booths supermarket. The Golden Ball in the village does an excellent Sunday lunch. Cottage is in a great location for both Lytham, Southport and easy access to Preston town centre. All in all would definitely recommend a stay here, you won’t be disappointed.

• "Me and my husband stayed here for over 3 weeks recently and we had a lovely time."

  Janet the owner was so friendly and super accommodating throughout sending fresh bedding, towels and anything we needed actually. The cottage is very cosy, situated in the most beautiful surroundings and well equipped with high quality furnishings. Our only small issues (for us) we’re due to our staying longer than average, the sofa didn’t do much to support us. It was hard and really lacked comfort when trying to relax and watch a film. Also the bed is only a double, so sharing that with a man who is 6”1 was a real challenge. We struggled to sleep some nights because there just wasn’t space. That being said we are used to king sized and the bed was super comfy with the begging being high quality. Would be fine for a weekend. Lastly for those who need internet, we did have to buy a dongle because WiFi connection was bad, again that was only because my husband had to work from home, normally its not a problem and Janet did try her best to fix it. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend.

  Thank you Caroline for your feedback. I take on board all the constructive comments made. This was my first booking lasting more than 10 days. I constantly look to improve my holiday let so this is a helpful review, Property Owner

  Janet has such wonderful tastes in everything that the cottage was equipped with . Towels were sumptuous - shower was superb. In fact everything was of the highest quality. Nothing was too much for Janet - There when you needed help and advice .

  My ideal place. No fuss but everything you need with exceptional quality, taste and attention to detail. Very high quality , immaculately maintained and modern. Peaceful and relaxing stay I have now added this to my favorites and will definitely be back. Hosts are wonderful and friendly and happy to help with anything you need yet very unobtrusive allowing you to enjoy your time there uninterrupted. I loved the little extras left to welcome us and the 3 resident hens visiting everyday for their blueberries which they loved. I would love to live out my days in something as beautiful as this ...here's hoping. Good base for all surrounding excursions too. Southport, ormskirk (market on Sat) Preston, Blackpool to name a few. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute and an absolute bargain too. Overwhelmingly recommended !!
