About this property

A first class detached, brick-built bungalow situated on the owners' spacious grounds, one mile from the pretty village of Mawdesley, and thirteen miles from the seaside resort of Southport. This superb Lancashire cottage provides contemporary accommodation, perfect for couples or families wishing to explore this largely undiscovered area. This spacious cottage near Mawdesley boasts a farmhouse-style kitchen with dining area, and a cosy sitting room, featuring a set of French doors from where lovely views across the open fields can be seen. There are two double bedrooms at your cottage near Southport, and the stylish bathroom has a luxurious corner bath. This Mawdesley cottage is a great place to relax and unwind, enjoy the open views of the local countryside and the abundance of wildlife that visit the spacious grounds. Outside this Lancashire cottage is a pleasant patio area, where you may wish to enjoy a morning coffee or pre-dinner drink. A short walk from this Lancashire cottage brings you to Mawdesley village, where there is an excellent country inn, fishing (available with a valid permit) at Sefton Lakes and a craft centre, and a little further afield jet skiing can be enjoyed at Holmeswood. For golf enthusiasts, some of the finest courses lie in the vicinity, including Ormskirk and along the coast, and there are wonderful beaches and sand dunes at Formby Point. There are many nearby attractions, including the Martin Mere nature reserve and Rufford Old Hall, and the Lake District and Western Dales are within driving distance. This excellent Mawdesley cottage is an ideal base for exploring not only Lancashire, but the wider area.

The rural village of Mawdesley is located on the West Lancashire plain, just less than 15 miles from the seaside town of Southport. Twice coming first in the Best Kept Village competition, the village offers a scattering of traditional brick-built cottages, old farmhouses, barn conversions and a local pub all surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. Close by is Martin Mere nature reserve, Mere Sands Wood, the market town of Ormskirk, and the Victorian seaside town of Southport.

    We were given a lovely welcome & tour by our hosts & really enjoyed our stay there. It is in an excellent, quiet countryside location, but is very near to lots of nice places to visit. The property itself is spacious, very comfortable & has everything you need to ensure that you have a great stay. We will definitely be returning again in the future & would recommend it to others. Many thanks to our super hosts!

    Rabbits, pheasants, partridge and lots of other birds in the garden. The thing that makes this place special are the owners. They are lovely people, very kind and will do anything to help. The cottage is spotless and has everything you’ll possibly need.

    Lovely and clear - happy welcome from the owners, who live opposite - they gave us a guided tour and were very pleasant and welcoming The weather was not kind to us so we did not have the best opportunity to explore the area as we would have liked, but nevertheless we enjoyed our stay
