"A superb Victorian property and garden,wonderfully restored by the owners David and Irene."
Accommodation is spacious, comfortable with every appliance thoughtfully provided. The beds were especially comfortable. We brought our bikes with us as there is a good network of cycle paths in the area and were able to store them securely inside the property which was a bonus. The property also has secure off road parking and is situated within easy walking distance of Southport town centre. All in all the perfect holiday home.Thanks also to David and Irene for the generous welcome pack we received on our arrival.
Hi Roger many thanks for your kind feedback, is much appreciated. Really glad you found a safe spot indoors for your bikes. It is good you didn't leave anything behind....apart from a spotlessly clean house! Trust you got home safely.
Regards David

"Very spacious, clean and comfortable house equipped with everything you could possibly need."
Great location with lots of good walks. David and Irene proved to be exceptionally good hosts making sure guests are happy and provided fantastic welcome supplies. The garden was perfect for us and Riley (an excitable cocker spaniel) Would highly recommend a stay here
Many thanks William for your kind words. Much appreciated. It was great to meet you and the family......and of course Riley who has a fantastic personality, and is certainly of the 100 or so dogs we have had as guests in the last couple of years, in my top 3. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you in the future. Ps thanks for leaving the house so tidy. D

"What a wonderful house, it was just perfect."
The house and garden are really lovely. The owners were very kind and can't do enough to help you very thoughtful people. My husband was very ill last year and thankfully we managed this holiday. The location is perfect for the town and Promenade. The park is a 10 minute walk, my dog enjoyed himself in the garden too. We will definitely be going back, hopefully later this year. Thanks Irene and David it surpassed our expectations.
Many thanks Deborah for your kind feedback. It was great to hear you enjoyed your time with us, and especially good that Mal felt the break helped after his illness. We love having dogs as guests and Jac was certainly one of the most amiable and glad he had fun in the garden and nearby Hesketh Park. It isn't often we have guests at Mullans staying for 2 weeks so a special thanks for leaving the place so tidy and looking after the garden so well. Thanks again D

"Mullans is exactly as described."
It is a lovely house which has been carefully renovated by David and Irene. It feels like home from home and is in an ideal location for Southport in walking distance from the main Lord Street and beautiful Hesketh Park - perfect for doggies. Our dog Aura loved the house and the neat contained lawn and garden. There is nothing that I would change.
Many thanks Penny for sending a review. Irene and I are really pleased you enjoyed your time with us and great to hear Aura had fun. It was also thoughtful of you to provide some extra feedback when leaving that we have taken on board for the benefit of future guests.
Thanks again D

"We had a wonderful week at Mullans, even out of season Southport and surrounding area has lots to offer."
We love going out for coffee and brunch, we found Birkdale village has excellent cafes and many independent shops, even a butcher, fishmonger, cheese shop and greengrocer.
The house was perfect, just as described, warm and well equipped. It has been refurnished to a very high standard, we loved the original features, decor and high ceilings. We live on a narrow boat so it was a huge contrast for us.
Irene and David, gave a masterclass in hosting. We were met at the property and shown around. They made sure we knew how to use the kitchen equipment, dishwasher and washing machine.
There were plenty of edibles gifted to us, fruit, bread, butter, jam, milk, juice and even Prosecco. I appreciated the fresh flowers too. They kept in touch by text to make sure everything was ok for us and came to say goodbye as we left on our final day.
Molly was made very welcome, treats and a dog basket available. The garden was perfect for her and safely enclosed.
As mentioned on the listing the neighbour is refurbishing his house but the noise was minimal and didn’t worry us at all.
We hope to return for another visit to Mullans in the future
We hope to make a return visit in the future.
Hi Petra and Kevin, many thanks for your kind comments in review you posted. Irene and I are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

Finally, it was really thoughtful of you to leave the property so tidy, again much appreciated.

"Lovely property with very friendly and helpful owners who showed us around and explained everything we needed to know."
Very comfortable house with everything you need. A real home from home. Great location too, very handy for local park and town centre/ marine lake etc. Looking forward to a return visit next year.
Many thanks for your review Janice, and is very much appreciated. I am really sorry there was some noisy digging in the street on Sunday morning apparently just a one-off. It was sorting improved wi fi for a hear neighbour. I know you didn't complain, but I did! and seems contractors had a permit for Sunday work and to be fair they stopped 10 ish after I kicked off. Anyway you and Mick and the ever amiable Shadow were great guests and would be welcome again

"David and Irene were there to welcome us and gave us great advice about what to do in Southport."
The property is a large house with the accommodation being the ground and first floors. It is a lovely building and very comfortable. You do not have to compromise with the kitchen, like you sometimes have to in other properties. You could quite happily live there. We have two dogs and they were very welcome. This is the best holiday property we have ever stayed in.

"Lovely stay at Mullans, the photos don't do the property justice."
..it is a large house and each room is spacious and clean. The kitchen well equipped. The garden beautiful. Wonderful welcome with flowers, scones, wine, apple flan and much more. Only real downside is the parking... the driveway is exceptionally long and narrow - potentally suitable for small cars, but not wide enough for my Kia Carens, and my dad scraped his. Having said that, I parked on the roadside opposite the house quite easily. It didn't detract from our stay which was very enjoyable.

Steeped in traditional period architecture throughout with furniture to complement the period, yet so very comfortable with all mod cons.
We were met by Irene and David who went above and beyond anything we have previously experienced at a Sykes holiday accommodation. So very generous with welcoming gifts and being on hand if needed.
Will recommend to family and friends and hope to return ourselves.
