Escape to Lytham St. Annes

We inspected the property and decided not to stay as it was not what we were expecting. We were highly dissatisfied. We were sent photos of what the apartment looked like after cleaning. We did not think the property had been recently cleaned or freshened up before we arrived.

Steep external/internal staircase ( railing on external staircase was loose, partially rotting and the cast iron bracket attached to it was unstable and did not feel safe).Large circular area of paint had flaked and we were concerned that it would fall on the bed. Wrong keybox code on booking.com email. Unpleasant odour as the front door was opened, rubbish found on floor and internal stairs, oven mitt was heavily stained, dirty carpet in entrance hall obviously covering damaged floorboards, some large gaps in floorboards throughout, dirty carpet, no clear external signage to find apartment. The area outside the front door was described as having distant sea views ...it was grotty and the only view we saw was the carpark next door. We chose not to stay as the property did not meet our expectations and did not look like the photos at all. The apartment did not smell or look clean. We did not take photos we just walked through and decided not to stay as we were concerned it had not been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived.

Place was nice once we found it. Good size rooms and bathroom and kitchen area. Lovely location to beach and supermarket.

Floors quite creeky and uneven, lots of stairs up to apartment for those who need accessibility this would be good to know as could be a problem, it was fine for us. Neighbours also not friendliest. However saying those things it's a lovely place and comfortable once inside.

Easy access via key code lockbox.

Lovely apartment, had everything needed and so close to the beach and the town

Clean and everything to hand wonderful

Nothing

Close walk to the sea and town, lovely large apartment with everything you could need. Host was very helpful and responded quickly. Would definitely return

Lots of stairs to the apartment but this wasn't a problem for us but would be if you have a disability

Spacious clean and comfortable close to amenities

Great location, very clean and well presented

Staying in January, on arrival the property was very cold (5 degrees) no heating on. We kept the heating overnight and the property warmed up, but there were no extra blankets, so the first night was very cold. The bed in the larger room squeaked every time you moved, so not a good night's sleep. Fix that problem and we would have given a much higher score as the apartment was the perfect size for my family of 5 to stay. Overall, we enjoyed the apartment and would stay again.

Self contained unit, own entrance, lockbox Comfy beds, spacious bedrooms and nice bathroom

We arrived late after a long journey. There was no toilet paper and no rubbish bag for the bin so first port of call was the shop!
