Description
New EU/UK consumer protection laws require that an advisory note is added to listings to inform users that bookings may not be covered by national consumer protection laws.
At just four miles from Southport town center with easy access by bus, train and car this is an ideal base for a family or couples to enjoy a coastal holiday with easy access to Liverpool (18 ml), Chester, Manchester, Blackpool and the Ribble Valley. Trains to Liverpool or Southport run every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday, half hourly service on Sunday.
Located in the village of Ainsdale, a semi rural suburb of Southport, this cosy mid terraced cottage provides comfortable holiday accommodation, ideal for families and couples who want to explore all that the north west of England has to offer, both coast and country.
Ainsdale village has several pubs, restaurants, shops and takeaways which are all within half a mile of the cottage. It also has a leisure center and village green.
The village has a strong sense of community with the local community center offering meals and activities for older people at very reasonable prices, and Ainsdale Horticultural Society holds a village show on the village green every year at the start of July.
Ainsdale also has a fabulous beach, which is said to have some of the most breath-taking sunsets and cloudscapes in the whole country.
A great base for walkers and nature lovers, the Sefton Coastal Path and the Trans Pennine Trail both pass through Ainsdale. A number of waymarked nature trails are also accessible from the village. These trails allow access to the Ainsdale Sand Dunes, designated as one of England’s National Nature Reserves. The dunes are home to over 450 plant species as well as the rare natterjack toad, Europe’s loudest amphibian. Red squirrels can occasionally be seen amongst the reserve’s pine forests too, while sand lizards, great-crested newts and a fantastic variety of orchids and other wildflowers can also be found here.
The reserve has a network of around 8 miles of marked footpaths including the Woodland Path and Fisherman’s Path which are both accessible by bike, pushchairs and wheelchairs. An award winning pub and restaurant can be accessed via the paths, walking 3 3/4 miles, 1 hour and 14 minutes (approximately) from Ainsdale railway station with limited on street parking in the vicinity of pine woods.
There are several golf clubs nearby including Royal Birkdale, Hillside, Southport and Ainsdale, and Formby Hall.
The Victorian seaside town of Southport is just 15 minutes away by car, and apart from its beach, fairground and water park also offers a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. It is well known for local, national and international artists featuring in performances and shows at the refurbished Art Center, Floral Hall or other locations within the town. Blackpool with its many attractions and landmarks is just 35 miles away by car. Other places on the coast worth visiting include the cosmopolitan resort of Lytham St Annes and Crosby beach.
Liverpool can be reached in approximately half an hour by car and Chester, Manchester and Preston are all under an hour’s drive. The Lake District and Lancashire’s beautiful Ribble Valley can be reached in approximately 90 minutes.
For those who want a break from driving, the cottage has excellent links to public transport. There is a bus stop on the main road with services into Southport, Preston and Liverpool. Ainsdale railway station provides links into Liverpool, Chester, Manchester and Preston. Beach 1/2 mile. Shop 400 yards, pubs and restaurants 1/2 mile.

“Lovely, spacious cottage”
Had a wonderful 4 nights here. So close to Ainsdale beach which is wonderful. We ate out all the time except for the first night. Plenty of cutlery and pots and pans. Everything you needed. Table for 6 in the sunroom. Plus tv's in every room. Chris the host let us in a little earlier... He was great and friendly. You can park right outside the property. The Chinese...Jade Garden is a 3 minute walk and the food is gorgeous.

Response from the owner Your review is a work of fiction and I wonder what your motive is. You said nothing during your stay and leaving a review like this when all others are good just makes you seem foolish.

“Clean and well maintained property in a great location”
Previous claims are false and must be an attempt to get a refund. The toilet was obviously cleaned, in the north of England limescale doesn't form on kettles as the water is soft, the semi rural … More

Response from the owner Thanks for your review. When hosting people it is inevitable that the odd person will find something they are not happy with but it is good of you to express your opinion in my favour.. As we approach the end of lockdown I would welcome the opportunity to have you stay again.

“Well equipped cottage”
.Phil has thought of everything It may not be the most modern of homes but it is cosy and has everything you need. The kitchen has plenty of crockery, cutlery,pots and pans and gadgets including a washing machine and dishwasher. Phil provided a little bottle of milk,a loaf of bread and a tub of spread,jam, teabags and some coffee. There are toys, books, DVDs,videos and the machines to play them.There is a TV in every room.The dining room/conservatory was a suntrap even on a freezing February weekend.Parking is on the street. We always got a space right outside the house.It is on a very quiet little road.

Response from the owner Thanks for your detailed and comprehensive review. There is some double glazing in the conservatory and the area in general is usually very quiet. The televisions are CRT type but most other appliances are quite new. There is now a cafetiere.
