THE COTTAGE can be found in a quiet residential area of Thornton-Cleveleys, less than 2 miles from the seafront and bustling promenade. Lovingly resorted by ourselves, the property itself is of great historical interest dating back to at least the 1600’s. It’s believed to be the oldest standing property in the area and is jam packed full of character with wonderful features such as beamed vaulted ceilings and cobbled walls.

The utmost care and attention have been given to the makeover with old techniques and materials used to ensure the house has remained traditional, whilst bringing it up to modern day living with a contemporary twist.

Within THE COTTAGE you’ll find three bedrooms, the first of which boasts a four-poster bed and en-suite with roll top slipper bath. The second has a substantial sleigh bed pride of place and its own cute little courtyard with table and chairs. Finally, the third has a single cabin / loft bed which with restricted head room is best suited for children or small adults.

The living space stretches the length of the property and boasts a large farmhouse inspired kitchen as well as a AGA oven (Please ask if you would like to use this 24 hours before check in) The dining room has a cosy booth style seating arrangement, and an electric stove as does the incredibly comfortable and homely lounge.

If you can bring yourself to leave the property you’ll find shops, pubs, and restaurants all within walking distance of the property. Less than a 10-minute drive will take you to the beautiful sandy beach and promenade and then for a bit more glitz, glamour, and razzmatazz the iconic seaside town of Blackpool can be reached in around a 15-minute drive.
