Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, with multiple mentions of the property being spotless and well-maintained.
The property is appreciated for its peaceful rural setting on a working farm, with easy access to local attractions. The proximity to towns and the countryside is seen as an advantage, although one mention of the nearby M55 suggests it may not be perfect for all.
Guests find the property very comfortable, highlighting the underfloor heating, generous room sizes, and luxurious touches like the double shower. The cosy ambience, particularly with the log burner, is frequently mentioned.
The property is praised for being well-equipped with modern facilities and amenities, including a wood burner and smart TVs. The high-quality furnishings and maintenance are noted, though a couple of suggestions for additional items like a coffee table and lamp indicate room for improvement.
The host's thoughtfulness is highlighted through gestures like a welcome basket and personal interactions, such as farm tours. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

It is bright and airy and spotlessly clean. My only criticism would be having to pay £20 extra for a dog, other than that we really enjoyed our two night stay and would be more than happy to stay again.

The interior is a master class in design and high quality. Everything you need for a comfortable break. The double shower wet room is a luxurious touch. Such a peaceful stay and serene view from the front seating area. We would suggest two small additions to the lounge area. A coffee table to place drinks when watching TV or reading from the sofa area, and a lamp so as to create some low lighting in the evening. We would certainly recommend these cottages for a break. 25 mins to Blackpool or Lytham. We ate at the Hand and Dagger, great food and dog friendly.

The cottage sits in lovely countryside on a working farm, the chickens came by every morning to say hello and their eggs were delicious. The accommodation was first class, very clean and well stocked with everything you would need to feel at home. The cottage was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating, especially in the bathroom which was very luxurious with its double shower. Would certainly recommend Thy Owd Sty for a relaxing break.
