Very spacious place with Crosby beach literally at the end of the road. Easy access into Liverpool. A really great place to stay for a group to enjoy the area.
We are a family group of 15 of various ages. Plenty of room and good layout of bedrooms. The only blip was the cooker and fridge sizes. Everything else was great, clean, comfortable and warm.
A lovely spacious house to stay in for a couple of nights over new year, 9 adults and 4 children and 2 dogs stayed comfortably, with room for 4 cars on the drive, 5 minutes to the beach, all amenities close by
Fantastic for a budget beach stay close to town!
Not many local shops/cafes were open when we stayed, but we weren't too far from town and that was our main plan.
We booked last minute as we were let down by another host, and Jill was very accommodating
Thanks
Wonderful house for large groups, in an excellent location, 5 minutes walk to the beach. As in the description, the house is in need of some TLC and the outside space lets it down somewhat! However we had a lovely long weekend, plenty of room for all 14 of us and managed to get 5 cars on the drive. Worth it for the size and the location.
Great place to go.
The bedrooms are lovely and big - bigger than even the photos show.
There are 2 walk-in showers.
When we were there, Gill was on the other end of a phone immediately for anything we needed to ask.
Helpfully stocked with bin bags, dishwasher tablets, oil, salt, pepper, towels, bed linen, etc.
We came with a big group (the full 18 that the house can sleep) and it worked well. When we were altogether in a room (sitting room or dining room), we all fitted in cosily!
Great location and house has all the space you need for a large group. Unfortunately our stay was spoiled by a broken toilet which meant only one toilet for 11 people and effectively only one shower as the door to the remaining bathroom/ toilet only closed if it was locked. As other guests have mentioned some of the bedroom doors didnât close and the front bedroom window doesnât shut properly so it was cold! The broken toilet was symptomatic of the TLC this house needs though it is for sale so perhaps this explains it.It was a bit surprising that the issue with the toilet was only flagged up as we arrived at the property and a plumber only came out the next day- Christmas Eve- and couldnât fix it.
Nicely decorated. Good bathroom, kitchen looks good but fridge needs new innards - lack of door furniture, means impossible to store milk upright and it leaked all over everything. Needs more crockery and cooking pans etc for 4.
Large living room but very dark in evenings - not helped by black rug under the lights. Sofas etc not very comfortable.
Also beds not very comfortable.
I enjoyed the stay but one of the guests left some dresses in the wardrobe and I have sent the host messages but she doesn't answer! JILL PLEASE LOOK AT THE VRBO APP MESSAGES!!! My mother in law is quite upset to lose her dresses and would love to arrange postage with you/payment for your effort. Thanks.
The property was clean, tidy and functional and in a good location to visit Crosby seafront and LIverpool with easy public access. Plenty of clean bedding and towels.
However, there are some constructive recommendations below to improve future guest experience:
1. The mattress on the left hand side of the 2nd floor front double bedroom requires replacement as springs sticking through
2. The mattress on the 2nd floor single room requires replacement as the springs are sticking through
3. Front facing windows on the first and second floors do not shut properly which was exasperated as a result of a storm leading to noisy and cold rooms.
All the above are easily solved and are suggested to help the property.
Everything clean and tidy. Warm welcome (heating on for arrival). Plenty of room etc for our group (15). Cooker could be bigger but we coped. Second time we have stayed, location great. House is ready for updating in places, hopefully they are going to continue to rent in the future.
It was great apart ftom no water the last 2 days due to a break in the pipe. Left a day early.
Lovely house. Just a shame we had to come back early. But as we had tiny barbies who need bottles sterilising etc it was impossible with out water.
I am waiting for a partial refund due to having to leave early
A great house for a big group. Plenty of rooms and mix of bed arrangements per room to suit our needs. Some of us had issues with poor mattresses in which the springs were very noticeable and uncomfortable. Good kitchen and just about enough equipment. Could do with some mixing bowls and more wire racks in the oven. The outside area was OK, but again was a bit grubby with bird poo and dirt on the garden furniture. The showers seemed to be plumbed in back to front so a danger of being freezing or scalding, luckily the grandkids didnât use them first. Feels like it could be a great holiday house with a few tweaks and a good fettle,rather than just a good one. The owner very helpful in communicating once I had sent an initial email- didnât get anything from Vrbo with instructions.
We had a wonderful experience celebrating my 70th birthday. Thankfully it wasnât deterred by the cleanliness of this property. A deep clean is definitely needed. Also several safety issues need addressing urgently. Locks to bedroom doors and window need keys.
surprisingly the outside areas where NOT prepared for any occupancy it was disused not even brushed. Outside furniture was also filthy.
The owner jill was however extremely helpful.
11 of us went as a family group there was plenty of space, the bedrooms were very roomy although some of the doors donât shut. Our initial entry into the drive was a bit daunting as the gates and side gates definitely need sprucing up . The garden was big enough, the kids enjoyed playing out but is another area that needs a bit of sprucing. All in all we had a great time, we all loved the island in the kitchen, the living room was plenty big enough for us all to sit in and it is well placed for the beach.
Rented for a birthday weekend. The House was great for our party. It needs a little tic in places but this did not detract from a wonderful weekend in a very good location, with the Beech a 100 yards away. Definitely worth a return visit.
The house was an excellent size, all the rooms were spacious. We managed with 2 bathrooms but an extra one would have been good. We had a good but short stay and had everything we needed. Could have done with a 'welcome sheet' with wifi code, local amenities and other relevant information on.
Lovely short break close to the beach. Great property for large family with 5 teenagers, plenty of space. Nice courtyard for outside dining and bbq which was great. Few issues with the doors. One bedroom door with what appeared to be broken key, but managed to open. Bathroom door lock very tricky so my daughter avoided. But neither detracted from our stay.
