  • "We had a lovely stay - family group of 20."

    The variety of bedrooms was perfect for us and they were well spaced out so that no one disturbed anyone and we all had our own space. The house was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. We didnt get chance to use the rooftop garden due to weather but what a great space! The only criticism is that we were only just able to squeeze around the dining room table/s all together once. If you were a party of 20 adults you wouldn't be able to and that is something that we like to do. There is a breakfast bar with additional seating though if you are happy to be in a different room. Otherwise it was fab and the owner was very helpful too, thanks for a great weekend!

    Our visit was great from start to finish, from Paul being so easy to contact before arrival and answering all questions to us arriving and the place being very clean and in very good condition would definitely recommend for large families/parties and will be visiting again

  • "Brilliant stay."

    Great communication from the owners and the bottle of prosecco/chocolates were a lovely touch & very much appreciated. The house is fantastic, very spacious and clean. Great large rooms to congregate in & local take outs/hot spot information was provided which we used & enhanced our visit. THANK YOU!!!

  • "The property is a great size."

    We mentioned the need for a curtain to block light into downstairs room which has been taken on board thank you. The listing makes it difficult to know if there are 10 rooms or 9 it would be great to have a floor plan so it was easier to assign rooms for future visits. The property whilst lovely could do with a decorative overhaul as this would propel the property from good to great. The hosts are both incredibly lovely and attentive.

    The owners were very friendly and helpful. The house had everything we needed.

    Hi Tom. Thank you for your generous review. It’s always so pleasing to welcome a family group with children. And, to see the children playing happily on the sandy beach reminds us of what Morecambe is all about: Beauty Surrounds, Health Abounds. It would be wonderful to see your team returning soon.

  • "We have just returned from a large family get together and can honestly say the house was just perfect for us."

    Well catered for and easily accommodates varying ages. Paul, the owner was just so lovely with us all and provided us with plenty of useful info with regard to the area. He even kindly left lovely treats for the adults and children, so kind of him. All bedding and other linen was beautifully fresh and clean and genuinely nothing was too much trouble for Paul. He remained in contact throughout our stay just in case we needed anything. If you are looking for a lovely large house right near the centre of Morecambe then look no further. You’ll have a lovely welcome by Paul and stay in the great house. Thank you for everything Paul and keep up the good work. Hopefully see you soon. Mel

  • "The property is spacious, clean and mostly warm and is located close to the promenade."

    However it is still under renovation and some of the work was still taking place during our stay, which was unacceptable. What was also unacceptable we’re the two large dogs that appeared on the roof terrace without warning- from an adjoining flat which we were not told about. It feels like the house has been rented out before it’s completely finished and some of the work has obviously been done in a hurry.

    Hi Jean. Thank you for your honest feedback. With regard to the dogs you saw, they are lovely friendly creatures owned by the tenants of an adjacent flat. Nevertheless, the tenant knew he should not allow them to roam free on the property. The dogs have now left and the owners will move on shortly, so there will be no cross-over between holiday guests and permanent tenants. Since your visit major improvement works are now completed hence any disruption is a thing of the past. Nevertheless, continuous improvement is one of our aims and we will continue to seek to improve the experience of our guests. We offer you a warm welcome if you or your family wish to return to enjoy the property. Mrs Zhang and Paul Property Owner

  • "We could not have asked for accommodation any more perfect to share a family celebration."

    Not only is it a spectacular building, but it is homely, comfortable, welcoming, and spacious. Our every need was catered for. We had space to come together and places to spend quiet time. The location is also ideal, it is only a short walk to the beautiful sea front for a therapeutic and refreshing breath of fresh air. Local shops and pubs are conveniently nearby. All 20 of us could not recommend this accommodation more, we cannot wait to book again.

    Thank you Tammy for your positive feedback and also for leaving the property in a clean and tidy condition. We enjoy providing a great value offering for family and friends who wish to spend quality time together and we certainly enjoyed hosting your group. We look forward to seeing you back at Balmoral soon. Property Owner

  • "We made a formal complaint about the property to the owners and to Sykes."

    The listing is misleading and property is simply not fit for purpose in its current state. The attitude of the owners and Sykes in this matter has been very disappointing with both parties pointing the finger of blame at each other. I cannot recommend either in this case

    Dear Neil. We are sorry for the disruption to your stay at Balmoral caused by the breakage of the glass oven door. As you know we responded in minutes and did everything in our power to get it repaired as soon as possible. This is the 1st time we have experienced such a calamity and in future we will be better equipped to deal with it. With regard to the accuracy of the listing. May I reassure you that we have no intention or ability to mislead our potential guests. Furthermore in light of your comments about the listing: Sykes have reviewed our property by revisiting Balmoral. Some of the images have been updated. In addition, we have been very encouraged by recent guest feedback. If you ever wish revisit the magnificent Morecambe Bay area. And enjoy the sunsets, the natural beauty and our recent upgrades, please get in touch via Sykes to see if we can give you a special welcome, in a genuine effort to rebuild our reputation with you.
