This place is in an amazing location right next to the sea, couldn’t get any closer. Lovely accommodation with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Gorgeous walks on the door step, incredible views and great pubs and restaurants would highly recommend. Thanks Paul for our amazing stay. Would definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at the barn and were provided everything we needed. Rooms were spacious and comfortable beds. Location was great with Blackpool Sands just a short drive away. The local pub provided delicious food and was literally just around the corner. Great house in a great location

Our stay was a perfect base for a family holiday. The nearness of the beach a definite asset especially when you have a 3 year old with you! You could easily pop back if something had been forgotten.

This enabled the extended family to gather for evening meal…

We spent a lovely two weeks in the Hen House. The rooms were a good size, and the open plan kitchen, dining and living room was great. The decking area was lovely, and we VERY much enjoyed the company of the two seemingly resident, very friendly, cats: they were very good, and didn’t try to come inside [very often!]). The only reason for the lack of a five star review is that we ran out of hot water quite a lot. The…
