Hope Cottage

A compact but well-appointed cottage.

The loaf of bread, milk and bottle ot prosecco were a nice touch and much appreciated. Walks around the area were scenic and started from virtually outside the property. On the downside, there was a bag of dog poo in the back garden - presumably from previous guests, the freezer section of the fridge was unusable due to the build up of ice and the toilet cistern seems to constantly fill.

Great stay.

Clean, comfortable and safe. Loads of great walks close by Couple of small things that need addressing to make it perfect (ie wouldn’t stop us returning) No washing up items liquid, cloths & tee towels Toilet running trough Maybe black out or darker curtains in bedroom Saying all that we would still recommend

This is my third time hiring Hope Cottage and is my “go to” Blackpool accommodation.

A quiet location next to a country park, it’s small but meets all of my needs perfectly. I used to struggle with the key box but that has been replaced and is now easy to use.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, the kitchen very well equipped and the bathroom and shower were excellent.

Only a 5 minute stroll from Wyre Country Park which had wonderful flat walks to take the dog. We had a problem with the tv and the owner came straight round to sort it and provided recommendations for places to visit.

The cottage was freezing on arrival and there was no Wi‑Fi.

The owner came and sorted the issues, but it took over 12 hours for the property to warm up. The TV kept dropping connection, and after three days we gave up and went home. The cooker and fire, which were not working, are both electric, not gas as stated.

Lovely comfortable cottage had everything you required for you stay very well equipped ,great location very near the Wyre estuary perfect for dog walking, has a nice little cafe.

Arrived on a wet Monday to be greeted by a very cute cottage.

Entering it smelt nice and was extremely clean. Found a small welcome pack which was much appreciated and cranked the heating on. Once settled in and unpacked, sorted out the smart TV to my settings and had a great shower. The cottage had everything one would need for a short or long stay including doggy bowels. Had no complaints during my 6 day stay and was actually sad to leave. Surrounding area is lovely especially for dog walks and all neighbours were pleasant. Would I reccomend this cottage 100 percent and am already looking to book again in the New Year. Thanks for providing a lovely retreat that left me wanting for nothing and I highly reccomend this place for short or long stays. Myself I have nothing negative to say about it and suited me perfectly Thank you

Very cosy house, good for a couple plus a dog.

Location by the Wye Estuary is very good. Large supermarket (Co-op) close by. We were given a welcome gift of milk, bread and a small bottle if prosecco. Washing up liquid, laundry liquid and multi surface cleaning fluid from previous guests were available. Some dish scourers would have been handy. Kitchen is well equipped with utentils and crockery.

Great little place, loved it

The property itself was fine for us and our dogs for a short break, beautifully clean and had everything we needed.

Wine, bread and milk on arrival much appreciated. Lovely situation for Wyre Estuary Country Park, great dog walks there and very scenic. Nice little cafe too. However, nothing else nearby walkable, it was into the car for everything,shops, restaurants etc. Which was ok, just thought there'd be more on hand. We struggled with the key box and key, but some jiggling got the key working, this needs some attention. We also struggled to understand the boiler, heating seemed to be on constantly even when the timer was on. The only problem we had, apart from the key, was the first night with very noisy adjoining neighbours. They seemed to be having a row which went on till 4am, we couldn't hear every word but pretty much most of them! As the bedroom is on the shared wall this was not good and most unpleasant to listen to. However, the next two nights were fine thankfully. Thanks for the break.

We enjoyed our stay at hope cottage.

It was clean & comfortable and cosy

Amazing location.

Close to estuary and Country Park and near seaside towns of Clevleleys and Blackpool. Cottage has all you need - bedroom is a bit small but everything else ok Nice welcome pack - We are considering booking for next year

In general the cottage was really nice, clean and comfortable and would have been well worth the money if the rusty and grimy microwave is replaced in the kitchen as I did not think it was safe to use from both a hygiene and safety point of view.

There was an issue with the front door on arrival. I tried to contact the owner but both numbers went to voicemail, therefore I left one but never heard anything back. The biggest negative was the adjoining neighbours dog which howled and screeched all night with no intervention from the neighbour. I was awoken at 1am, 3:30am and 6am. The next night it started at 11:30pm so I banged on the wall and informed the neighbour if the issue continued I would be reporting them to the council/police. I received verbal abuse in response but thankfully heard nothing more from the dog from then on. I would have liked to have informed the owner about the issue but due to them not being available for the door issue saw no point in trying to inform them.

We fully enjoyed are short stay the Hope cottage it was like home from home Would like to thank the owners for a very special stay And a big thank you to Sykes for making the booking easy Have recommended hope cottage to friends already 100% Thank you David & Steph (snugs & penny ) the dogs

The bedroom was so tiny and whilst my husband slept ok, I was awake both nights and got up with a sore back.

We returned home a day early

Door handle from porch into property came off in my hand on arrival.

Some of the crockery used by previous renters hadn’t been cleaned properly but those were my only down sides inside. Previous reviews mentioned lack of cleanliness but I had no such concerns. It was comfortable. Nice touch from owner to leave bread ,milk and small bottle of wine. Switch to outside light broken and needs attention. It was nice to have a garden chair and table but they and the garden could do with a bit more TLC . I would use again

Lovely location beautiful dog walks good off road parking secure garden for dogs.

Confusion over change over cleaning date owner and Sykes very helpful. However owner said he checks cottage thick black mould around shower and shower trap disgusting not been cleaned for sometime . Sink brown stains cleaning didn’t lift . Smells of mould and damps slugs in kitchen . Bedding was provided by cleaning agent clean but old white no personal touches no cleaning products or clothes no welcome pack

There was rust in the microwave and the power settings did not work.

Mould and damp in many areas of the property. Slugs on the kitchen floor. Property had a combined damp and dog smell. No washing up liquid or scourers etc. On the last day we stripped the bed as requested only to find the mattress protector had black fungus or some type of mould growing on it. Pans were not particularly clean. I have photographic images.

This was another pleasant stay at Hope cottage a quite and relaxing experience, it afforded me a comfortable base whilst I visited family who live nearby

Mould on mattress protector.

Dead spiders in bed. No cleaning materials or cloths. The garden furniture needed attention. Overall enjoyed our stay as we went out each day to various places.

This is a lovely little cottage in a great location.

I would definitely stay here again. It is well looked after and clean upon arrival. I did have a query re the tv and the owner was around within 5 minutes to help me and took time to describe the best areas to visit etc. My stay was in March and as there is no radiator in the bedroom it was a little chilly but warm pjs and socks sorted that and obviously in the summer that wouldn’t be an issue. Easy parking right outside on the driveway. Just a two minute walk away is the weir estuary country park with amazing walks and a cafe that does the best breakfast barm and coffee. All in all a great little cottage for one or two people in a great location with helpful owners. I couldn’t fault it.

Lovey and home from home comfort.

The village is so beautiful and quiet.

What a lovely bijou bungalow,very quiet, very clean.

I stayed 3 weekjs and loved the quietness and recharged my batteries,tho ill on 2nd week,Wals on the river just 100 yards away,nice neighbours,mustsay photosdont do it justice,just agreat stay,Il be back very soon 10/10,great owner Daz helped with tv and CH and came out within 15 mins.highly recommended

The loveliest, cosiest, comfortable place we've ever stayed.

Used Sykes many times and will be using them again in 2025!

Dishwasher would be nice, but thats only because i am lazy !

!!!

Had a lovely stay at hope cottage would recommend it to all my family and friends

The Cottage is in a very good location, as in quiet and close to a lovely evening walk along the estuary, easy to go out for the day in the car.

It was a bit further away from the promenade at the beach than we expected, so quite a long walk there and back without being able to walk too far along the prom. We had lovely weather and the back garden was great to sit out in the sun and our 2 dogs were safe and secure.

Enjoyed our stay at hope cottage

A lovely Bungalow with all amenities and very clean.

The garden is a lovely sun trap and dog friendly for most dogs but not for very small dogs. We have 2 chihuahuas that did get through gate and spaces in hedge. It was a bit too far from beach for me as I rely on using a mobility scooter while my husband is fishing but did enjoy my stay.

We had a brilliant holiday,hope cottage is lovely and we would highly recommend.

good base, back garden is a suntrap.definitely be booking it again.

Let's get straight into negative comments.

..front door needs realignment/porch door handle not right...toilet flush buttons playing up?...well with that! Let's get back to , how great this holiday cottage is:- comfortable sofa & bed/5*linen+ towels. Every thing possible you may need kitchen wise! Wifi/no problems Welcome package is more rather than less . Cosy evenings in.. off road parking a definite bonus/including the back enclosed garden (ticked all our boxes) including park(dog walking) 50yrds away, ice cream parlour (Inc.doggy icecream) 10yrds Cross road.. Concluding a very central base for all yours holiday sightseeing places! Definitely recommend this cottage! Including the very helpful/friendly neighbour Joanne..thank you

The property was immaculate and equipped to a high standard.

Situated in a lovely area near the country park. Accommodation very cosy.

A delightfully presented cottage, clean, comfortable and warm.

Wine, bread, dog treats etc much appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We stayed at Hope Cottage for a week from 1st March with our two small dogs.

We were very lucky with the weather and managed to get out and about every day. The cottage is perfectly situated for. visiting Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Blackpool etc. A short walk away is the entrance to Wyre Estuary Country Park with good walking facilties.The accommodation was comfortable, warm and cosy and immaculately clean. It is a credit to the owners who have thought of everything you could need for a great holiday. We would recommend Hope Cottage and hope to be back again.

The only thing there were builders next door which were noisy and dusty They did come to us to apologize which was good Everything else was great

Usual great standard of cleanliness throughout the bungalow but unfortunately there was an issue with the boiler that had been mentioned in previous feedback.

Though we spoke to the owner the problem was not solved unfortunately. There was also no welcome pack on our arrival or loo rolls which we had to go out for on arrival. This is not usual for this property I have to say so I'm hoping there's an explanation.

We really enjoyed our stay!

Hope Cottage was very comfortable and very well decorated with lovely colour schemes and home comforts. Immaculately clean and tidy. Every thing needed and more, for a short break (or longer stay). Nice touches with the bread, milk, prosecco and dog bowls and treats, much appreciated! Only additions to suggest would be provision of a sieve and a clothes horse! {known as a washing maiden in Lancs?!} For us personally, a double bed was a bit of a squeeze but it was our choice to book somewhere with a double bed but, as above in new immaculate condition. Neighbours polite and offered to be called on if required. Area lovely and quiet. One small issue with the heating was very pleasantly sorted out with a quick visit, and instructions given to reset the system if needed (which we did another couple of times during our stay). Thanks for being so prompt. Thank you for a lovely stay and we hope to visit and stay again in the future. Kind regards, Dave, Heather and Wilf Ryal : ) 24 - 28/11/23

I enjoyed the holiday cottage, nice and warm and easily accessible.

Only down points; Cooker hood smelt like a smoker had been smoking under it and the light wasn't working. Back door handle was quite stiff.

The Property was spotless if not clinically clean.

The property was rather bijoualthough I had read previous feedbacks pertaining to the bed I honestly didnot realise how problematic it would be. We are both in our 70s I suufer from osteo arthritis and found it extremely difficult to get in and out of the bed. We had booked from 03/11/2023 to 10/11/2023 however we decided to leave on Monday 06/11/2023 due to the sleeping.Let me make myself clear the bungalow is in a great location next door were friendly people ideal for the Stannah tramper trail.Spotless everything you need for a break even a bottle of wine and a beer milk and bread.The heating was nice and toasty.

We had a lovely relaxing week, we had a lovely welcome pack.

We did have problems finding the place, but that was due to road works, so we phoned the owner, he directed us to the cottage ( stayed on the phone until we got there) so thank you! There was everything you needed in the cottage. We will definitely like to go back there again. Such a lovely area for walking the dog, and so peaceful.

Lovely little cottage.

It had everything we needed and there was even milk, bread and wine waiting for us when we arrived. Super clean and tidy. Bed and sofa were comfortable. Would recommend

This was our second time at Hope cottage this year, and it was as enjoyable as the first time.

It's a quiet and peaceful environment and particularly convenient for ourselves as we have family living nearby, so it makes for a really nice extended visit. We will be booking again soon!

A lovely home from home stay and a lovely welcome pack on arrival.

Everything you could need was available and was spotlessly clean. Lovely neighbours and surrounding area and a great base for exploring. Will definitely return to this property.

Fabulous location for us at this compact bungalow.

Everything you could possibly want or need is supplied and, dog friendly. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Have been twice this year already and will no doubt return again.

No tourist info coat hook fell off wall (stuck on with sticky pads) broken toilet seat limited tv (no channels) smart TV with Internet access only no info re bins(what goes where?

) A shame as cottage ok otherwise

Lovely little bungalow.

Very clean, tidy, and comfortable with all the home comforts you could need. The bathroom and kitchen are both very well equipped with modern fixtures and fittings. It's situated in a very quiet and peaceful area with great walks available via the country park which is a 2-minute walk from the front door. We appreciated the generous welcome pack, including treats for our dog which were very welcome. We will definitely book again without hesitation.

Lovely little cottage in a quiet location the only downfall was the bedroom to small for the bed had to crawl in and out the bottom of the bed not much space on either side not good for older people like myself

A wonderful little bungalow which clearly has been renovated and presented to a great standard throughout, useful off road parking immediately in front of the property and a good back garden ideal for the dog especially late at night and early morning!

Excellent location for lovely dog walks next to the river Wyre and only 15 - 20 minutes for Blackpool centre. We were please with how the house was equipped, the lovely welcome items were also much appreciated too. Of course the property is bijou and whilst for us all was fine, perhaps those older or with some mobility issues may struggle with the bed in terms of the space either side of it when getting in and out, but once in it was very comfortable indeed. A accessible bathroom, well equipped kitchen and cosy lounge. We enjoyed our stay a great deal, thank you for presenting such a wonderfully clean property, the neighbours were also lovely and baked some cakes for us too as well as taking a shine to our German Shepherd!

Very small was really unhappy with the television with no programmes available and only being able to get Netflix because the cleaner had left it logged on.

No instructions either for the washing machine and the boiler. Was not able to do a washing machine did not work and eventually turned the heating off at radiators.

A really lovely place to stay.

Nice location and peaceful. Everything was on hand regarding facilities and lovely and clean. Will be in the future, looking forward to booking with you again in a different location.
