Belmont is a wonderful detached bungalow that can be found in the small village of Hesketh Bank, just 20 minutes from the Victorian seaside resort of Southport.

Hesketh Bank itself is home to ample local amenities including a high end supermarket, farm shop and takeaway. In the neighbouring village of Tarleton you’ll also find a café and a couple of pubs serving good food.
An area popular with bird watchers and nature lovers, the Ribble Estuary Natural Nature Reserve is 5,000 acres of salt marsh and is less than 3 miles away. It’s home to an impressive range of wildlife, with more than a quarter of a million migrating water birds feeding in and around the estuary. There’s also Hesketh Out Marsh, Marshside and Martin Mere Nature Reserve all easily accessible.
For lovers of the great outdoors, a network of footpaths and dedicated cycle routes radiate from the area, and in Southport you can pick up the Trans Pennine Trail. The popular seaside town of Southport has lots to offer, including 22 miles of coastline and the second longest pleasure pier in the British Isles. There are shops, bars and mouth-watering restaurants, together with traditional seaside amusements, a cinema and an indoor water park. The train station in Southport provides easy access to both Liverpool and Chester for anyone craving the bright lights and culture of a big city.
Other places of interest nearby include the National Trust’s Rufford Old Hall (10 mins) and the National Trust’s Formby, a glorious beach with dramatic sand dunes, surrounded by sweeping coastal pinewoods (40 mins). Slightly further afield, the Ribble Valley and city of Lancaster can both be reached in about an hour, and just a little bit further again is the southern Lake District National Park or the Forest of Bowland (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Whatever you are looking for, this holiday home makes a wonderful base at any time of year. Beach 10 miles. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

We enjoyed our stay we have many friends in the area.The facilities were very good but think maybe grab rails in the bathroom would be advisable. It's not just older people like us that use them.we loved the outside even did a bit of dead heading.We will definitely visit again if we can.

We had a brilliant holiday at Belmont. Comfortable, very clean cottage in a lovely village. The owners have thought of everything and more. Nice big garden and fully enclosed for the dogs. Would definitely stay again if visiting this area. We have many dog friendly holidays and this one is up there near the top. Very good value for money. Thank You for allowing us to stay.
