Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is beautiful and welcoming. We had a lovely basket for off treats and they left treats and a blanket, wipes and poo bags for the dog. The beds were comfortable. The area itself is very nice and within walking distance to the beach and squirrels woods. Plenty of pubs around for food and drinks. We traveled to Manchester as we had tickets for coronation street tour which was only one hour away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3127ff40-4d77-493f-90a1-e64432e3f489-1760279206375.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Formby beach ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ad6c0e9-8b03-4259-9cbe-e18745d66c5e-1760279206386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Naomi W.
