  • "While the house itself was clean and comfortable enough (despite there being no visitor info or welcome pack) we had issues with the garden."

    It clearly hadnt been maintained for some time...the garden furniture was dirty, it's cushions scattered outside meaning they were filthy, wet and covered in bird droppings, leaving them unuseable. There were cables and rubbish in the garden and 2 huge cardboard box deliveries on the porch which had clearly been there for a number of weeks. There were remnants of a past party; deflated helium balloons around the hot tub. I reported this to Sykes on our first morning expecting it would be brought to the owners attention. I attatched photos and filled in the necessary forms. During our stay the garden was not a pleasant place to sit and we could not use it because of these issues. I followed up my initial complaint to be told that the owner wasnt interested as I hadn't brought it to their attention during our stay. I did. Sykes failed to pass it on. As there was no welcome pack or visitors info at the property I had no way of contacting the owner. I feel extremely let down by both the response of the owner and Sykes. Neither have apologised nor acknowledged responsibility. I am quite sure that this review will never be published so I am taking this further. All it needed was an apology from the owner and Sykes and neither are interested. Needless to say, we wont ever book through Sykes again.

The property

Gayton Stables is a well-presented oak farmhouse resting in Heswall, Merseyside, with private driveway parking and a hot tub set within acres of gardens and paddocks with farmland views.

From the moment you arrive, hand-crafted oak beams and natural finishes set the tone, giving the space an eco-led feel that suits relaxed get-togethers and multi-generation breaks alike.

Head into the kitchen/diner to put the kettle on and plan the day over breakfast, then gather at the table for unrushed suppers after exploring the Wirral Peninsula.

A separate utility keeps day-to-day practicalities neatly out of sight, leaving you free to enjoy the holiday rhythm.

As evening draws in, drift into the sitting room where the woodburning stove adds a gentle glow, ideal for film nights with the Smart TV and Netflix, or for lingering chats with a favourite drink in hand.

If you need a quieter corner for reading or mapping routes, the study offers a handy retreat.

When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find three bedrooms in the main house: a king-size, a double, and a family room with a double and twin, alongside a bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, plus a cloakroom to streamline mornings.

Nestled on the edge of the paddocks within the grounds of the property, is a cosy and fully insulated glamping pod which provides additional accommodation for up to two guests.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable double bed, a shower room, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a seating area, creating the perfect space to relax and unwind.

The pod also benefits from heating and hot water, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout the year.

Outside, step onto the patio for al fresco meals, fire up the barbecue, stretch out on the lawn, then finish the day with a soak in the hot tub under open skies.

Venture to West Kirby for coastal walks, the Marine Lake and Hilbre Island views; explore Port Sunlight for its heritage streets, galleries and village charm; or spend a day in Liverpool soaking up the waterfront, Albert Dock and museums.

However you plan your break, Gayton Stables in Heswall, Merseyside is a fine base for Wirral adventures.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.
