Quiet, peaceful and relaxing

Great location, well appointed, quiet and good parking.

Needs an information pack with some instructions for appliances such as electric hob and oven and advice on local shops pubs attractions etc. TV reception was very poor.

9.0 / 10.0

Beautiful house and location.

There were all available amenities that a complete house would offer plus a bit of luxury you find in hotels. there was very good communication with the host and a very quite and comfortable location.

Ther was nothing I didn't like. I would definitely book again. :)

10.0 / 10.0

Very enjoyable and comfortable, we would stay again and hope to be back soon.

Quiet location, very spacious, easy access to Formby and the train station. It had everything we needed.

9.0 / 10.0

Lovely stay, house very well maintained- we would definitely stay again

The extension to the cottage is really well done, with a big open area with heated floors and sky lights, the bathroom was really well done and this accommodation had all of the items needed for a short stay

No dishwasher in kitchen, TVs hard to work out, back door doesn’t close properly

9.0 / 10.0

Fabulous. Thank you for sharing your lovely property.

Perfect location for us. So quiet but close to village. Lovely feel about the cottage and great to have off street parking.

Nothing really but we are relocating up here so looking at properties. Aiming to come up again in January and wanted to book again but it is way more expensive than this trip so not sure we can which is a shame.

The property is large, immaculate, 2 storey cottage with large backyard. Everything about Dora Cottage deserves superlatives.

An enjoyable stay, on our way further north.

A very pleasant cottage and garden and we were blessed with good weather also. Our daughter cycled to see us from Liverpool and we had some nice walks and enjoyed the local cafes.

It would be nice to see if the garden was about to have more planting in it, otherwise no other comments.

8.0 / 10.0

A lovely updated property

A lovely updated property done very well, hard to find anything wrong, Paul and team have done a very good job. You are close to the sation but - depending upon your pace - it is 20 to 25 minutes to the central part of Formby. It is very quiet area and the garden is a great place to relax. Great sized fridge.

There were certain small points which would have added value to the visit. We have written to Paul separately on this (hope you got it Paul). No biggies but, for instance, we could not find a hair drier, a teapot would have been very good to have together with various other kitchen items. Also some form of instructions folder - I don't need big tech, just how to turn the oven on, what should be recycled, that sort of thing.

Delightful Dora

Almost don't want to leave a glowing report as want to be able to use it again without being fully booked! Wished we had booked for a whole week. Home from home. Brilliant base for exploring local area. Quiet location. Off road parking for 1 car. An amazing renovation. Lovely touches like a small welcome hamper. Very tastefully furnished. Good quality towels and crockery etc. Stunning bathroom. Handy storage shelving/hanging unit in each bedroom. Paul, the host, very approachable and immediately solved a minor issue. Ideally placed for Formby village, train station, Red Squirrel Reserve, and beach. Close to all the attractions at Southport including the must see, classic Victorian Wayfarers Arcade and The Atkinson Gallery and Museum. The internationaly reknowned golf courses and Aintree racecourse. Anthony Gormley's Another Place at Crosby is 8 miles away. Liverpool accessed via the local train station.

Paul will be trying to organise a "welcome pack". That will help with understanding underfloor heating which we left alone. Check in/check out times not listed.
