Lancashire Self Catering cottage, St. Heliers, Blackpool, sleeps 8

Huge property, perfect for families & great location!
We absolutely loved our stay at St Heliers, however there are a few points we'd like to make in order to improve the property for future guests... Critique: As many others have pointed out, the property would benefit hugely from a second toilet downstairs (perhaps part of the laundry room could be converted). The house requires a more thorough clean throughout, before each new guest arrival. Stains on the walls, a thin layer of dust on surfaces & dusty old carpets could easily be improved. There was someone else's used disposable BBQ in the back yard when we arrived, along with cigarette butts, which was off-putting. Also PLEASE get some larger bowls - we bought cereal to eat and it was like eating it out of a thimble using the bowls provided, they're tiny! The bin was surrounded by small flies when we arrived too, could probably use a thorough wash with hot water and bleach. The kitchen sink needs a washing up bowl to help reduce water use. Good stuff: We loved the provision of WiFi, the handy guide provided before our stay, on-street parking with permit, the washer & dryer facilities, the games room for the kids was a huge hit, the large fridge-freezer, dining table with plenty of space and chairs, the several bedrooms and comfy beds, extra bedding and towels provided, and the general enormity of the property. The house is huge and you definitely have enough room to spread out, enjoy plus everyone have their own space as a family. There are plenty of shops nearby (newsagents as well as Iceland, Farmfoods & The Range) plus the seafront is only a few streets away. Great location. Thanks so much for a lovely stay - hopefully improvements can be made and we'll recommend you to anyone heading to Blackpool in future!
