The house is only 50m from Woodlands Road which has nearly every shop you could wish for. A Co Op, cafes, hairdressers, chip shop, fast food, newsagents, bakery, butchers, Chinese, a Dominoes and much more. Fylde Rugby Club is round the corner as well. It is a 2 minute walk to the train station where you could travel to St Anne’s, Lytham, Preston & Blackpool. 4-5 minutes walk away is the sea and the stunning Fairhaven Lake and Granny’s Bay. The new sea defences and promenade walk have just been completed and they provide a quite beautiful walk from Ansdell into Lytham. You can walk into Lytham in 15 minutes. The walk to St Anne’s Square is 15-20 minutes. The house is close to the two major roads that go into Lytham and St Anne’s, so buses are easy to come by. Lytham is 3 minutes away in a car and St Anne’s just a few minutes further. As mentioned, the train station is a few minutes walk away. Taxis are plentiful if required. Only a short drive and walk from the new very popular and extremely busy ‘Lytham Festival’. Pets are allowed. However no pets are allowed anywhere where there is carpet. No pets in the front lounge and upstairs. As mentioned there is a permanent and very cute kennel under the stairs. Pets are allowed in the garden but please do not let dogs go to the toilet on the lawn. My dogs are trained not to. If that does happen please hose down that area immediately. There is a pet fee of £10 which I would like guests to leave in cash when they depart. It is £10 for 1 or 2 nights. After that I would charge £10 for each subsequent 1-2 nights. Please ask for more details when booking. No food or drink to be taken upstairs by the children. No food in the front lounge. ***New for April 2021 - all of the outdoor furniture have fitted covers. There are plastic storage cases in the extension which they are stored in when you are using the outdoor furniture. After use, and over night, the covers MUST be placed back on the sofas. This protects them from any over night rain, but even if the over night weather is dry, then it stops them being saturated in the morning dew. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE COVERED BEFORE GOIUBG TO BED. ***New for April 2021 - please make sure the pergola is closed at the end of each night for obvious reasons. ***New for April 2021 - the outdoor stove is there to be used. All I ask is that guests leave a donation for the fire lighters, kindle and hard wood that is stored in the garden. Buying all of the wood etc yourself would be too expensive so there is a white builders bag which contains all. I would just ask guests to leave a donation of £5 on the kitchen table for each time that they use the stove for approximately 4-5 hours. That should cover the cost of the materials used. There is a blow torch in the bottom right hand draw in the kitchen, next to the freezer, which you can easily start the fires with.
