The Bothy, although a little quirky, is well set out and is well equipped. The location is excellent and Lytham is just stunning. If we had to make a suggestion it would be to provide a gate for the bottom of the stairs with the stairs been open from kitchen/lounge it would stop our fury friends from going up.

Some of the rugs and furnishings were a little worn but acceptable as there is clearly a high turnover of visitors with dogs. Only cleanliness quibble was the shower head which needed a good clean (which we did)! Just something to keep an eye on. I would highly recommend as everything in Lytham is on your doorstep.

Our 2nd stay at the Bothy and the bed as blissfully comfortable as last time! Lovely welcome tray with tea, coffee and biscuits and a fresh pint of milk left for us in the fridge! What more could we ask for!
