Entering this welcoming property, you will find the spacious and fully equipped country-style kitchen/diner, with plenty of storage space, wooden worktops and a central breakfast bar. Exploring the ground floor of this inviting cottage further, the bright, fresh and airy lounge/diner has a sociable main dining area perfect for family meals, alongside a cheery lounge area with exposed brickwork, ample seating and a Smart TV, ideal for unwinding in after a great day out. The ground floor also features a refreshing shower room. When it’s time to turn in for the night, head upstairs to the three light and relaxing first-floor bedrooms.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lanthorn Cottage, felt like a home away from home. Cosy, clean, dog friendly and equipped with everything we needed. Lovely large enclosed garden with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunny days. Close to a great coffee shop (Sage), a corner shop, dog friendly pub and green space, with the beach a 15 minute walk away. Read moreTheres also a pop up fish and chips van every Saturday. We will definitely be coming back, thank you for a wonderful stay. Hide

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a really great position in St Helens. Close to great shop, pub (The Vine - totally excellent!), play area for kids and beach within a 10 minute walk. Great for families, especially if you have dogs as it has a long, secure back garden with different options for sitting and dining al fresco. St Helens is a really frienRead moredly village and having spent a lot of my youth there, it was reassuring to find that it still had that same sense of community and we were made to feel very welcome. Would recommend and stay again but would be good to have a welcome pack - even if its only a pint of milk in the fridge! Other than that we had a very lovely, quiet and relaxing stay. Hide

Really lovely cottage with quite possibly the best equipped kitchen of any rental cottage we've stayed in. Lovely long garden which was great for the dog.

We had an amazing week here. The absolute perfect location for a family. The local pub was excellent, and the beach is only a short walk away. There's a handy shop a stones throw away, and a little play park 2 mins away also. We also had plenty of days out, and the location meant that nothing was too far away. We'd love to come back as there was soRead more much to do we couldn't get it all done in one week. The house was perfect for us (family of 5, plus Nannie and 2 little dogs). Sofa and beds were comfy, whole house was clean and the garden was a big hit. Having a BBQ was a great touch too. House was fully equipped with everything we could possibly of needed. Hide
