"We had a lovely short break."
It was clean, warm and different. The supply of tea, coffee, milk & biscuits was very welcome. It was really good that there was a TV in the bedroom and that we could make hot drinks in there too. The kitchen hot tap had to be run very slowly though, to get just warm water. It didn't get hot; so it would be better to have a small washing up bowl in the sink, as the metal sink cooled the lukewarm water very quickly. The back door wouldn't unlock either. We soon got used to going from one gatehouse to the other but we had to be careful crossing the drive. There is a lot of traffic going in & out of the grounds during the day and most of it goes too fast through the gates. We were surprised there were no 'Slow' signs outside or some means of warning drivers to take care, as people might be crossing the drive. Lytham Hall is beautiful and its history very interesting. It was great having complimentary tickets to look round it.

"It is an excellent quirky place to stay lovely surroundings you just have to plan with it being in two parts and one bathroom."
The lock on the bedroom side is a bit stiff and can be a bit annoying. It would be better to have two keys both opening both sides so each person can have a key to lock and unlock each side.

"What a fabulous place to stay."
The accommodation was excellent and the hall grounds are stunningly beautiful. There is plenty of places to visit in the area too. In fact, I have booked it again straight away.
Hi Dawn, Thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed the Gatehouse, Lytham Hall and the surrounding areas. Looking forward to seeing you again! The Lytham Hall Team Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at Lytham Gatehouses as we know Lytham Hall grounds and gardens very well and have visited on a number of occasions."
The Gate houses are quirky as expected and are situated either side of the drive up to Lytham Hall. There are signs asking vehicles to be aware of pedestrians crossing and we didn’t have any problems with this at all. The gatehouses were clean , tidy and well presented, although just a tiny bit smaller than we had expected. This was not a problem however. We enjoyed our complimentary tickets giving entry to the Hall itself as we hadn’t been inside previously and it was a real treat. We cannot praise the volunteers highly enough; they were very knowledgeable , helpful, and friendly and it was a highlight of our stay. We also enjoyed the surrounding areas of Lytham and St Anne’s which are always a joy to visit. We would love to give a five star rating to our review but there was one major drawback to our stay and that was the bed. The mattress was far too soft and lumpy and I’m sorry to report that we both had sleepless nights for the extent of our three day stay. We know that comfort is a very individual thing but I do feel that the mattress does require replacing with one of a more superior quality. It is such a shame because everything else was so nice, but this is the one thing that would prevent us returning for another stay. I’m hoping that this positive feed back will lead to the mattress being replaced and then we can consider returning. Thank you for all the other things you provided that were of a good standard.

"Excellent accommodation and excellent customer care."
The staff were excellent. Ideal location close to Lytham with access to lots of facilities. Furnishings in property were well accommodated in the separate gatehouses. The welcome pack was excellent. Lytham Hall was a great place to have time to spend and relax particularly the access to the beautiful gardens. The garden centre was interesting and the cafe was excellent particularly for the food. Very dog friendly both the accommodation and Lytham itself. One of my best holidays at a self catering property and already booked again. There was no issues with having separate gatehouses in fact it made it more special as it made you realise that you do not need large properties when it is just for you. The drive was busy but not an issue as the new signs to slow seem to have worked and the gates open and shut at approximately 5pm and 8.30 so have own access to the acres of woodland and parkland. The car parking is great and you can go out out after gates shut at night and leave car in designated parking just outside on drive near gatehouse. The key collection arrangements were good and communication from property owner and holiday company was excellent throughout
Thankyou very much for your feedback , and we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope to see you again in sunny Lytham! The Lytham Hall Team Property Owner

"Lovely property."
Very quirky, felt like we were staying in a mini stately home which was the attraction in the first place. Clean and well decorated, a lot of thought put into the furniture and contents. Really enjoyed looking around Lytham Hall and learning about the history. Loved the garden centre and came home with a selection of plants. The town itself was well worth spending time in and very easy to take the train to other areas. The only improvement could be to the cooking facilities which were challenging. Would highly recommend.
Thankyou very much for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Lytham Hall, and we are always looking at improvements to be made for future guests. Hope we see you again! The Lytham Hall Team Property Owner

"Had a wonderful few days break at Lytham Hall Gate House."
Loved the boutique style interiors, mixing old with new. Everything was spotless, and high quality. Many varieties of tea and biscuits provided as well as coffee which was much appreciated. We loved exploring Lytham Hall with complementary passes provided by the hosts. However the most magical part of the holiday was being able to wander around the grounds on an evening when the gates were shut. We encountered hedgehogs, bats and a bird of prey to name but a few. Can't wait to go again.
Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your stay - it is magical to have the grounds to yourselves in the evenings Property Owner

"Great quirky place to make your base for a few days."
In the lovely setting of Lytham Hall, with fabulous grounds to enjoy. The weather could not have been better and there was plenty to see and do around the area.
Hi, thanks for your feedback - we're glad you enjoyed your time with us at Lytham Hall! Property Owner

"Quite quirky but lovely."
The Hall grounds are beautiful. Two private functions meant the gates were open longer in the evenings. The gatehouse is small but adequately furnished, very clean with plenty of tea and coffee! Its location is ideal.
Thankyou so much for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your time in Lytham - hope to see you again! Property Owner

"This was an interesting and unique property being in 2 buildings either side of the gate."
I had brought my dog but she had to be on the lead all the time. The gate is busy which was expected but the speed of some cars was worrying. Speed signs both directions would help. Also a fenced off seating area would have been more relaxing. Inside was well appointed and beautifully decorated. Outside a little disheveled. Overall a good visit and great position for walking to Lytham
Thankyou for your feedback - Lytham Hall is a busy site, but you'll be pleased to know we have new signs ordered and being put in place next week. I hope you and your dog enjoyed the privacy of our glorious grounds once the gates closed to the public! We are also looking at ways to enclose the outdoor seating area - being Grade 2 listed parkland provides its challenges! Hope to see you again! Property Owner

"A lovely, quirky property, only a short walk to the seafront and with the added bonus of out of hours access to the beautiful grounds of Lytham Hall."
So peaceful! The gatehouse is thoughtfully equipped, the information pack is comprehensive, and members of the Lytham Hall team I came into contact with were all uniformly friendly. A small word of warning about the speed of some of the vehicles that drove onto the site - if you have a dog, keep it under close supervision, and look both ways before crossing from one part of the gatehouse to the other. That said, I loved staying there and have booked to stay again.
Thankyou so much for your feedback - the grounds are magical when you can explore on your own! You'll be pleased to know that new signs are ordered to help slow traffic entering and leaving the site. Look forward to see you again! Property Owner

"The property was very clean and comfortable and quirky, having the bedroom and bathroom on the other side of the gate entrance, which meant leaving one side of the property to cross to the other to use the bathroom or retire to bed."
The house and grounds excellent, as was the garden centre and cafe. Staff we met were friendly. However the whole stay was spoilt by the speed at which vehicles drove through the entrance once the gates were opened in the morning, including staff, delivery vehicles and the public. I was told that speed bumps were installed but removed due to complaints about them being too harsh. However multiple low level speed bumps would resolve the issue at minimal cost. As you leave either side of the property to cross to the other you are at risk of being hit especially with the quietness of electric vehicles. So whilst everything was good I could never recommend this property from a health and safety point of view.
Thankyou for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed our gatehouse, Hall, cafe and grounds - its a fabulous feeling to walk round when everyone has gone home! We accept your points about the vehicles, which is why we are installing new signs for traffic to ensure care when entering and leaving the grounds. Property Owner

"Had a fabulous time."
The Gatehouse is comfy, cosy and quirky. It's well equipped, clean and welcoming. Set in beautiful grounds, can't fault it at all. Definitely intend to return . Very dog friendly, especially the cafe, Coco loved having the grounds to himself once the gates were closed.
Thankyou for your fabulous feedback! We are glad you and Coco enjoyed your time at the Gatehouse. Animals are such a big part of Lytham Hall, and we pride ourselves on being Dog Friendly in the cafe - even having our own dog treat station by the courtyard! I also love it when the gates close after a crazy day! It's so peaceful to walk the grounds at dusk. Hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards Property Owner

"Lovely place."
Quirky. Clifton Hall voucher was appreciated. We loved it. A few minor tweaks would improve our stay, like bedside table and a reading light in the bedroom. Lovely and warm and welcoming.
Thankyou for your feedback, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Gatehouse. Fixed wall lights above the bed is something we will be installing soon, but unfortunately there is only room for 1 bedside table! Hope to see you again if you visit Lytham. Kind Regards. Property Owner

"Only problem was fast traffic passing the door."
Maybe a ramp to slow them down. Apart from that we enjoyed every day. Very close to town centre with loads of shops and attractions. Holiday cottage lovely and cosy with everything you need. Highly recommended.
Thankyou for your feedback - a ramp at the gates is something we are currently looking at. Hope to see you back in Lytham again! Property Owner

"Great stay but bed was a bit small two singles would be better apart from that the afternoon tea at lillibets tea room was a great experience highly recommend an old fashion afternoon tea shop very nice."
Thankyou for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. As advertised, the bed is a full size double bed - unfortunately a queen / king size would be too large for the bedroom. Very pleased you enjoyed your Afternoon Tea experience! Kind Regards. Property Owner

"Clean and comfortable."
It's a very special place to stay in. The voucher for the hall was a wonderful surprise. We had a unique holiday that was perfect.
Thankyou for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and your complimentary tour of the Hall. Hope to see you again in the future. Kind Regards Property Owner

"Great little place lovely and clean Well equipped for facilities ..."
Great little place lovely and clean Well equipped for facilities available Loved it when the gates closed at night or in the early morning while walking the dog Found it too much for me with the amount of traffic and people going in and out all day and evening at times My partner didn’t mind at all Lytham just over the railway bridge is a lovely little town The hall is amazing as was the afternoon tea there
Thankyou for your feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Lytham Hall is a busy venue, and especially with our Snowdrop walks in February - I hope this did not disturb you too much. It is lovely when those huge gates close! We're pleased you enjoyed our beautiful Hall and Afternoon Tea. Kind Regards Property Owner

"As Lytham locals we were excited at the newly renovated Gatehouse at the entrance of our lovely Lytham Hall."
We were thrilled when we found we could book to stay there. We got the 3 nights including New Years Eve. Once inside the warm Gatehouse there was a Christmas card with 2 complementary tickets to the ‘Not So Silent Night’ which was a stunning Hall festive tour full of music and sparkle followed by hot dogs and hot chocolate in the cafe. A visit to Lytham Hall is a must evening if you don’t stay overnight. Paul and Peter are super fast to respond and ensure everything is tip top for your stay. It was like going back in time and having those huge impressive gates close with you inside was great. We had the largest garden in the whole of the Fylde Coast. The grounds are very special. Come to Lytham and feel like the Clifton’s for a few days
Thankyou Andrea for your lovely feedback. We hope to see you soon, and have a lovely 2024! Property Owner

"An amazingly quirky place to stay, lovely complimentary tickets for a tour of the hall, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas."
Fabulous grounds for dog walks, so close to the shops in the centre of Lytham and the seafront too. Would suggest guests take crocs or similar for nipping across to the bathroom!
Thankyou for your lovely feedback - we're glad you enjoyed Lytham and our own Lytham Hall! Hope to see you again in the future. ( PS - Good tip about the crocs!) Property Owner

About the location
LYTHAM ST. ANNES
Blackpool 5.2 miles.
The seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes-on-Sea nestle along a picturesque stretch of coastline lined with pretty parks. For many centuries, the economy of this lovely area was dependent entirely on fishing until the beginning the Industrial Revolution, which resulted in the wealthy creating an affluent area, lasting until the present day. A short stroll from the Lytham seafront brings you to leafy Clifton Street, where you’ll find charming boutiques, restaurants and independent shops. Lytham Green, a strip of grass running between the shore and the main coastal road, is a notable landmark, overlooking the River Ribble towards the Welsh Mountains, and home to the restored Windmill and Old Lytham Lifeboat House museum. Those interested in craft ales can take a tour of the Lytham Brewery, whilst walkers and twitchers will adore the rolling sandy dunes of St Annes-on-Sea and the Ribble Estuary providing a safe haven for more than 250,000 migrating birds that return each winter. The area is internationally renowned for golf with four courses to choose from, the most notable being the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, one of the host courses for the Open Championship. Traditional seaside pastimes can be enjoyed at St Annes-on-Sea with a pretty pier and charming little beach huts in an array of pastels offering visitors a unique, exciting addition for a day beside the sea. A short walk from the pier brings you to St Annes Square and Wood Street, where you'll find charming coffee shops, tea rooms, restaurants and independent shops. Lovely long strolls, sunny afternoons on the sand or fun-filled frolics in nearby Blackpool, Lytham St Annes is a charming coastal destination with plenty to offer. Boating, cycling, shopping and swimming can all also be enjoyed nearby, along with award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs and wine bars should you fancy celebrating. Whatever you want from your seaside getaway, Lytham St Annes is an ideal choice.
