Dog Friendly Bed And Breakfasts In Lytham St Annes

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  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

  This property is in desperate need of a deep clean and lots of TLC.

  Of two sofa/footstool sets one set was very badly stained. Given that this is a dog friendly property one is left wondering who/ what caused the staining. Also a large stain on the landing carpet. On speaking to the housekeeper she said that the owner was aware of it, if so why had it not been cleaned? The bathroom was in need of attention. The shower doors needed a thorough clean, there being soap and water marks from previous guests and a dirty shower head. Large damp patch and a broken pane of glass over the bathroom entrance door. Copious cobwebs around the property. A posh roll top bath, snazzy coffee machine and double function kitchen tap did nothing to compensate for the general lack of basic necessities. Couldn't find coasters and place mats which seemed to have been a problem for others as the wooden furniture had multiple water stains.Limited pans and burnt oven trays. No complimentaries such as salt and pepper etc. This property was advertised as having two bathrooms. Not the case, one bathroom indoors and an outside toilet and wash basin! I could go on. All in all a disappointing stay although the beds were comfortable and the location lovely

  We were both impressed with the property spacious ,well equipped clean and comfortable.

  However midway through our holiday we lost Internet connection, at this point we looked for the welcome pack ! But unfortunately there wasn't one. I then decided to ring sykes help desk and spoke to Josh who was more than helpful but found out the owner lived in Middlesex hence the communication between Josh ,myself and the owner was getting complicated especially as the owner at this point we found out was out of the country (Bearing in mind I'm on holiday) Wednesday night we had no tv and we had both used all our mobile data on our phones , On Thursday morning still no Internet so again rang Josh who tried to help with the technical side of router/wiring etc this was probably the 5th time I'd spoke to Josh and Lauren ! Remember I'm on holiday and in this day & age you can't live without the Internet. I then received a call from Jamie (owner) while we were out , he asked for photos etc of router which I shouldn't be doing while I'm on my break. When we returned to the property we managed to resolve the issue. I'm sure you agree this was a very frustrating situation and look forward to your response and compensation.

  This accommodation was homely and bright with most things in place.

  It is close to all facilities we needed and lovely to come 'home' to. We had a small problem at the beginning of our stay which Jamie the owner, quickly rrctified so thank you Jamie. The only tiny issues were minor but important and easy to organise. These were that it would be useful if there were a number sign outside on the wall for 6D to stand out whilst you are trying to find your accommodation in your car. Also, it would b useful to have a laminated sheet with useful information on or a welcome book, with the Wifi info and a contact telephone number for speedy pick up as I had to use the 1 telephone number for our query.. which was Sykes Cottages and I was holding on for 40 minutes and was then transferred through to someone else. He then said they would contact the owner. In all, that took 55 minutes and still had to be worked on. It would be good to be able to contact the owner on at least an answer machine, as it was a nuisance just having to hold on. Once Jamie was involved , it was all sorted and we had a great time, apart from the weather! Thank you Jamie for a lovely stay. We would stay here again.
