Oak House, Leyland, 3min M6 - spacious and lovely

We are excited to be offering our newly renovated Oak House for guests to visit. Once called the Garden of Lancashire, Leyland is a beautiful area with easy access to the Lakes, Bowland Fells, Rivington Pike, and seaside towns of Blackpool, Southport and Morecambe Bay. It is also a short distance from Manchester and Liverpool. With the indoor wood stove, new kitchen and bathroom, oak furniture, outdoor fire pit and garden overlooking a park, we hope you’ll find this a fantastic getaway. We are fairly new to hosting on Airbnb, but we have 10 years previous experience running a successful self-catering home in France, so we are familiar with the needs of guests and we will work hard to make your stay special. Oak House is a semi-detached home on a quiet residential street, backing onto a park, less than 3 mins from the M6 exit, and near the M65 and M61. It is easy to find, with good on-street and off-street parking. The home has been in our family for three decades, but has been recently renovated with a brand new kitchen and bathroom. The house is finished to a high standard, with sanded redwood floors, a beautiful indoor wood-burning stove, oak and wood furniture, and a well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and warm, with new beds and mattresses. We hope you’ll find all you need for a comfortable stay. There are gardens front and back, and a gated driveaway making this a safe space for children and dogs. The patio doors in the kitchen lead to a back garden which is fully enclosed, so it is safe to let large and small dogs off the lead. We are ourselves dog lovers, so pets are welcome at no extra charge. The house overlooks Balcarres Green, which is a great little park for families and dog walkers. We will be happy to give any advice or help to make your stay perfect. Oak House is well-located, while maintaining the feel of a quiet leafy avenue. At the end of the road is a Tesco express and Chinese/fish n chips takeaway. It is easy walking distance to pubs, bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, swimming baths, and the award-winning Worden Park (also nominated the UK’s Best Park). There is a McDonalds within 5 mins walk, and all the big supermarkets (Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Lidl) are within a short walk or drive from the house. It is simply two turns from the Junction 28 on the M6, making it very accessible and easy to find. When you book, you’ll be given the code for the keybox and everything will be ready for your arrival. We now live in East Yorkshire, so changeovers are managed by someone locally, and a neighbour is always on hand for any immediate needs. We are also easily contactable at any time. We have a neighbour who looks after the property when we are not there. Times for check in can be flexible but please give us a bit of notice so we can plan the cleaning. At any point during your stay, if you require any assistance we are happy to help. This is a wonderful location to visit Lancashire, and we would be happy to give ideas of great places to see, some off the beaten track. We have created a guest book and provided tourist information leaflets to help you choose places to visit. We also hope you’ll enjoy the original watercolours in the house, painted by the host Anne, which showcase beautiful locations to visit such as Ribblehead viaduct, Windermere and Pendle Hill. For ideas of places to go, with distances to drive, do check out the photos on our listing. We have taken pictures of some of our favourite places locally to visit, including Rivington, White Coppice, Lancaster canal, Parlick, Nicky Nook, Lytham St Anne’s and the Lakes. For the High Season in the summer holidays, we are currently offering bookings from Saturday to Saturday with a minimum of 7 nights stay. This helps us to manage the busy season more easily.
