Lytham and St. Annes-on-Sea, two beach resort towns, are situated along a beautiful stretch of shoreline dotted with lovely parks. For generations, this beautiful area's economy relied solely on fishing, but the advent of the Industrial Revolution led to the wealthy establishing a prosperous area that has endured to the present day. From the Lytham seashore, it's only a few minutes' walk to the lush Clifton Street, where you'll find a variety of unique shops, cafes, and restaurants. Lytham Green is a grassy area between the beach and the major coastal road that serves as a landmark due to its location, proximity to the coastline, and views of the River Ribble and the Welsh Mountains. It is also the site of the Old Lytham Lifeboat House Museum and the restored Windmill. Beer enthusiasts can explore the Lytham Brewery, while nature lovers and birdwatchers will enjoy the Ribble Estuary, which provides shelter to over 250,000 migrating birds every winter, and the sweeping sand dunes of St. Annes-on-the-Sea. There are four golf courses in the area, the most famous of which is the Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club, which has hosted the Open Championship on two separate occasions. St. Annes-on-the-Sea has all the hallmarks of a classic seaside resort, such as a picturesque pier and colourful beach houses, each a different pastel shade. The lovely coffee shops, tearooms, restaurants, and independent stores of St. Annes Square and Wood Street are just a short stroll from the pier. Lytham St. Annes is an endearing seaside town perfect for leisurely strolls, sunny beach days, and exciting day trips to neighbouring Blackpool. Water sports, cycling, shopping, and swimming are all available in the area, as are fine dining establishments, historic taverns, and trendy wine bars for when you feel like a celebration. Lytham St. Annes is a fantastic pick for a coastal vacation no matter what your needs are.

The house was lovely, lots of space for our family group of 9 across 3 generations. We loved the location being so close to the town and the beach, we even had gorgeous weather and enjoyed beautiful sunsets in the beach. Thanks for a great holiday.

Orchard Lodge is a lovely property with everything you could need, a real home from home experience, the property is large, very clean and close to a lot of local amenities, a short walk to the pier, beach, shops and a park. We would definitely stay here again the owners have thought of everything even a welcome snack which was greatly appreciated. There was 9 of us staying at this lovely house, including 3 Grandchildren, there was more than enough room for everyone to do their own thing. Great communication with the owners. Parking is on the street outside which was busy first thing in the morning and late in the evening this was not a problem for us (we was able to move the car once a space became available) as the local amenities are great so we didnât need to drive out of the area.
