This fabulous property, situated in the small village of Barton, is the perfect holiday cottage for couples or small families that would never dream of leaving their pups behind. Sleeping four across two spacious bedrooms with plenty of room for up to three dogs to stretch out, this property is ideal for using as a base to explore the coast, country and city. Go for walkies along Ainsdale Beach (8 miles) or Ruff Wood (6.5 miles), or head into Liverpool (14 miles) for plenty of dog-friendly cafes and pubs. And when you’re ready to come home, jump in the hot tub for a soak to unwind after the day’s adventures.

The holiday home, which overlooks the owner’s farmland, has a bright and airy feel. Stylish interiors blend perfectly with exposed beams and brick walls; escape into the snug and light the wood burner, curling up on an arm chair with your favourite book while the pups snooze by your feet. Sizzle up a BBQ out in the garden in the summer, or enjoy an al fresco drink around the fire pit while the children and dogs run around. Both bedrooms are tranquil and inviting, but the second one has a stable door that you can open to reveal spectacular views.

Go for family strolls around Churchtown Botanic Gardens (9 miles) or Hesketh Park (8 miles) where the children will love to play. Shop for trinkets and treasures at Liverpool’s Baltic Market (15.5 miles), or take a river explorer cruise with Mersey Ferries (14.5 miles). For a beach day, try Crosby (12.5 miles) where there are no dog restrictions all year round, or head to Southport (9 miles) where pups are welcome on the pier all year round and the rest of the beach between October and May.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. The paddock was great for our dogs and we loved the hot tub. Really well equipped and comfortable. We have stayed in lots of cottages across the country and this was by far the best.

This is a beautifully appointed cottage with so much attention given to detail. As a couple we had plenty of living space, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We appreciated the use of a large garden with views over farmland beyond. It felt very private and the hot tub was an added attraction for us. Great expanses of beach were only 20 minutesRead more drive away and there were other splendid options for walks close by. Hide

Wonderfully welcoming and well appointed cottage. Fantastic space for dogs to run around in and easy access to many great walking locations, including the beautiful Formby beach. Jayne & Tim were fabulous hosts - nothing was too much trouble.
