No33 HILLVIEW LODGE BOUTIQUE COTTAGE

Location

Hard to find. No off road parking

it is a very comfortable and well appointed cottage. It would be very cosy in the winter.

it was smaller than I had anticipated and felt a bit cramped and dark. There were only 2 of us. I think that 4 adults would struggle but maybe a couple with kids would be fine. There is no view at all to the salt flats except from the upstairs bathroom. Perhaps I should have checked this before booking! The only outside space has no view.

Owners left a hamper with goodies from their sister Deli store. and milk - a nice welcome! 2 good pubs within walking distance of house and lots of lovely walks.

Spent a while wondering how to get to No 33 until next door neighbour directed us down her path which also led to our cottage at the back of her house.

Not easy to park nearby on road to unload and load luggage.

Everything, great welcome pack on arrival also Thornham Deli is a fab place breakfast, lunch etc

Shower

We know the area very well and it was home from home for a short break. Perfect location. Walking distance to the Crab Hut on the quay and the Fish Shed where we always get such lovely service 🌞 The Jolly Sailors (traditional pub) and The White Horse (hotel and restaurant) give you the best of both worlds. The supermarket at Burnham Deepdale is incredibly well stocked with lots of local produce too. Fabulous walks. The staff at Thornham Deli were delightful and we used our discount card which was supplied for the stay to have a fabulous breakfast before we departed.

No negatives only suggestions ! Could a note be added to the house guide re which of the 2 bins outside should be used for disposing of different types of rubbish. Every county seems to have a different scheme in place! We parked on the road and not a problem at all. We did look at the other suggestion of parking in the village hall car park across the road but each bay seemed to be specifically designated and we didn’t see one for the cottage? Every house has its quirks and we couldn’t turn the shower on as the handle seemed stuck and with fear of breaking it reported it. A plumber was sent round pronto and a video was sent to me showing which way to turn it on……..it was just very stiff. Excellent customer service.
