  On arrival we were greeted with a foul smell in the kitchen.

  On inspection we discovered a dried spillage that seemed to have been there for some time. We had to clean the fridge before we could put out food away. We also had to clean the cutlery drawer and its contents as it was sticky and greasy. The pans especially the frying pan was dirty with stuck on food. As the keys are stored in a combination key pad we didn’t even know the owners were on site to deal with this issue until we had cleaned up the mess and read the manual. By this time the clean up had taken place. We did send the owners one of the photographs we had taken to show them. We stay with Sykes regularly and this has never happened before. We rang the owners the following day with a heater query as the apartment was cold due to the heaters being on a timer. We mentioned the smell and the spillage and they blamed it on the previous occupants. But the fact that they never checked the kitchen area before we arrived is not the previous occupants fault. This should have been done before we arrived for our stay. The aerial connection on the TV was poor and intermittent so watching a programme from start to finish was impossible. When we messaged the owners for advice they did not respond to help us with a solution.

  Just came back from a 2 day break at this Flat .

  "Shorefields" Very clean inside and well furnished. However, slanted ceilings created problems and bashed heads several times. Nice view from Bedroom however, from at least noon to 8pm everyday the loudest drinking area below the bedroom with the most disgusting language and lewd remarks from beer swilling drinkers who had been purchasing booze from the store underneath the flat during all that time. No social distancing and certainly no pub license. Alternative was to sit in the lounge that faced a campsite and constant flow of people to the store, and had no opening window. Absolutely furious that none of this was mentioned in the booking? What is wrong with you people aren't you supposed to go out and check these owners properties. Please refund our money so we can escape to somewhere to recover. Ann & John Ford - We Have been hanging on your phone line for 20 mins so far????

  Really cosy cottage in wonderful location.

  Lovely big comfortable super king bed meant we slept like logs! Lots of nice decorative touches throughout. We really enjoyed the location, there are lots of walks in the area and we visited both the Forest of Bowland and Pendle Hill. It rained a lot, but we were expecting that in October. A couple of points for improvement (not intended criticism as we know the property is quite new as a holiday cottage) - it would have been nice to have had a better welcome pack. Most places we have stayed provide fresh milk, butter, bread, jam and wine. These are the things that get you through the first night! Also the plug in air freshener brought on my asthma, so turned it off and did seem to be masking dog smell (downstairs) and cigarettes (upstairs). These are just minor points, the cottage is lovely and we enjoyed our stay very much.

  Didn’t want to leave - a beautiful and spacious apartment with a fabulous view of the sea and amazing sunsets.

  The kitchen is fully equipped and a lovely welcome/starter pack to make you feel at home. We made good use of the cooking facilities. The bedroom is huge - we are used to a king size bed and the room could easily take one. Felt at home from the off and will surely return! There is a coin operated washing machine next to the shop and a meeting place to have drinks and share good times. The site has a friendly feel and everyone waves and says hello. Pat was very helpful/friendly and on hand if you need anything. We visited beautiful little villages close by. You are not far if you want to visit Morcambe or go a bit further to the Lake District but there are lots of walks/coastal paths and places to explore and discover within walking distance. The is another apartment right nextdoor is you have a bigger party. Get booking

  What a beautiful eclectic cottage!

  This little beauty fits in perfectly with the wonderful mystical landscape. Beautifully clean and cosy with some welcome treats for us and our dog! The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the log burner was perfect. We took some extra logs but there is ample supplied for one or maybe two nights. We enjoyed some amazing walks nearby and a well earned drink in the welcoming local pubs. No hairdryer at the cottage so if you need one remember to take your own otherwise everything you need is in the cottage. Parking could be tricky in high season but we didn’t have a problem and didn’t want to use our car anyway - too many local walks. An amazing cottage un a wonderful location. I would definitely recommend it to anyone
