Grooms cottage

Location good

Cobwebs everywhere, door broken to small bedroom and we all we had insect bites. Host miserable and didn't ask how was are stay just put his hand out and said keys and walked off.

Loved the hot tub and real fire, memory foam mattress was super comfy, lots of lamps and nice little touches :)

There were no scissors or a strainer for pasta but we managed to work around this!

Lovely self contained cottage. Perfect for a stay over for a couple of days or longer if holidaying.

Property was situated in a great location with some lovely walks and beaches nearby. It’s also only a short distance from Blackpool. We were greeted by one of the hosts upon arrival who was really friendly and showed us round the property, and how to work the hot tub. He also ensured that there was plenty of fuel for the burner. The property was mostly clean, other than a few oversights which did spoil it a little. There was plenty towels in the bathroom. The hot tub was brilliant, and the children loved having access to the trampoline. The host’s daughter was very friendly and came to ask if our children would like to play, which was really lovely. There was also a washer and dryer (but no detergent/softener) in the property which we did use to freshen up our own towels etc. There was also a small private garden, with some furniture and a dog Kennel. There were also horses on the yard that we were invited to see which was a lovely touch.

There was a pair of soiled/dirty PJ’s in the bedside table in the main room which was quite unpleasant. The cutlery draw could do with a good clean as it was full of crumbs. The hot tub being separate from the property was a bit of a shame, the hosts had tried to make it as private as possible, but it still felt very strange walking around in front of someone else’s front window in swimwear as the properties are very close together. Beware if you are travelling with reactive dogs, or don’t like dogs, as there a a few dogs wandering around and one was quite grumpy with our dog which nearly caused a fight.

This is such a lovely place to stay! There are so many lovely touches that make it feel homely. The hot tub and decking area are great and we enjoyed the hot tub very much. The flowers growing are beautiful and having the dogs around and the horses next to us was a great experience.

Comfortable,location great,homely,fabulous wood burner,friendly host. Granddaughter looking forward to returning,as she loved the hot-tub and the owners pets.

Nothing

The hot tub was a nice addition to the stay. The multi fuel stove was a nice feature, keeping the property warm, quite spacious for a small cottage with plenty of storage/wardrobe space.

No complimentary tea/coffee would of been nice to have the option of a brew upon arrival. A lot of evidence of pets in the property/dog hair and dog bowl found under furniture. The oven/cooker was very slow cooking food. The tumble dryer didn't work properly. The water pressure in the kitchen was extremely low also the shower pressure wasn't great.

the cottage décor, log burning fire, having access to private garden and hot tub, being able to see the horses, friendly dogs around the farm, towels provided
