About this property
Overlooking rural countryside fields, is this charming stable from the early 1900s which was used mainly for working horses. The Stables is perfect for a romantic retreat to the Lancashire coast, countryside and city life. Be welcomed into the owner's property and admire the surrounding greenery and landscapes as you find the self-contained annexe, boasting a gravel driveway with parking. Stepping through the single-storey dwelling, make yourself at home in the open-plan living space, rustling up a home-cooked meal for a date night in the amply-equipped kitchen, before joining together on the dining table over a bottle of wine. Once dinner has been cleared away, kick back on the plush sofa in this rustic setting, letting the woodburning stove warm you up during a film night. When sleep calls, head to the inviting double bedroom, decorated to a hotel-style standard and offering ample storage, served by a contemporary shower room which boasts a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Make use of the quiet grounds on a summer's day and dine alfresco on the outdoor seating, accompanied by a refreshing beverage as you watch the sunset. Explore the nearby village of Walmer Bridge and stock up on essentials at the nearby shop, before enjoying a spot of hearty grub in the local pub. Venture over to the bustling seaside town of Southport, where you can stroll along the Victorian Pier and embark on a journey along the Southport Pier Tramway from the promenade, or discover local attractions such as Southport Pleasureland, The Atkinson theatre, Hesketh Park, and the incredible Southport Beach. Alternatively, soak up the surroundings of Preston city centre and visit the Ribble Steam Railway and Museum, Harris Museum, Art Gallery & Library, and Avenham and Miller Park, or treat yourself to some retail therapy and gorgeous dining experiences. If you're feeling adventurous, travel to Martin Mere Nature Reserve where you can roam around unspoilt landscapes and spot unique wildlife as you ramble around. Further afield is the incredible seaside town of Blackpool for a traditional day of amusements and attractions, as well as renowned days out at Blackpool Pleasure Beach theme park, the SEA LIFE centre, and the striking Blackpool Tower.

Set in a quiet rural setting The Stables is perfectly placed for visiting many places such as Lytham and Southport. We had a warm welcome by Janet and received a nice welcome pack. Despite the cold weather we were warm inside thanks to the central heating, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped; a comfortable lounge area with Freeview TV; decent WiFi; great shower. Everywhere was immaculately clean. Great to see some chickens and cockerel roaming around, coming to say hello from time to time. We would definitely stay again here when we come back to the area, and highly recommend it.
