Home description
Stay in a one-bedroom luxury apartment in a converted flour mill on the beautiful Wirral peninsula, just over the River Mersey from Liverpool City Centre. The apartment overlooks Alfred Dock where you can watch ships passing within a few metres. The apartment consists of a living room, one bedroom, bathroom with shower and a fully equipped kitchen, complete with oven, hob, kettle, toaster, healthy-eating grill, microwave, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. All linen and towels are also provided. If required, a self-inflating king size bed is available. Also included is a 32" TV with access to over 30 channels and a CD player / DAB radio.
East Float Mill was built in 1850 and throughout the following decade was used as a departure point for emigrants on ships bound for Australia. It has recently been converted into contemporary loft-style apartments that retain much of the original cast iron and brickwork.

The Northern England / Yorkshire / Merseyside region
Situated within easy reach of the national motorway network, East Float Mill is the ideal base to explore wonderful Chester, with its Roman Walls and Amphitheatre, as well as its many historic buildings and the world famous Chester Zoo, just 20 minutes away. www.chesterzoo.org
Just 10 minutes away is the city of Liverpool - European Capital of Culture 2008, with its vibrant city centre and exciting nightlife. Visit the Cavern Club, birthplace of the Beatles, and the Beatles Museum in Albert Dock: itself an important tourist centre, housing the Tate Gallery and many fashionable shops, restaurants and bars, the haunts of many local celebrities and footballers. Visit the Mersey Maritime Museum, which gives a powerful insight into Liverpool's past, including the slave trade and Irish emigration. www.visitliverpool.com
For soccer fans Liverpool is home to 2 Premiership clubs, Liverpool FC and Everton FC. About an hours drive away is Manchester, home to Manchester United and Manchester City.
If the British weather permits, the seaside resort of New Brighton is only 10 minutes away, with its large sandy beach.
Take a trip across the Mersey on the world famous "Ferry 'cross the Mersey", on the way taking in all the sights including the well known Liver Building with the Liver birds perched on top. Why not visit the new Spaceport attraction, "the ultimate journey through time & space", less than 10 minutes away by foot. www.spaceport.org.uk
Getting around the area is easy with the excellent transport system. Within a mile of the apartment you have the Mersey Ferries, Mersey Rail with stations right across Wirral and Liverpool, there is a bus stop right outside the apartment block and if you have hired a car the M53 motorway is approximately a mile away.
The national motorway network makes it easy to explore the whole of the North of England in a relatively short time. While here there is a wealth of towns, cities and villages to visit and explore.
Liverpool / Wallasey area
The Wirral peninsula is very close to Chester and North Wales. There are many very pretty villages to visit, and the open countryside offers potential for long, rambling walks, followed by a pub lunch and pint of beer in one of the many country pubs. Or you could visit Liverpool's Chinatown, Europe's oldest Chinese community. Here you will find an amazing array of Chinese restaurants for a wonderful night out.
Although everything is provided for a self catering holiday, there is a wealth of pubs, cafes and restaurants within easy reach of the apartment, including Albert Dock, Met Quarter , the brand new Liverpool One which will soon be the largest shopping complex in Europe, and the Liverpool Echo Arena where you can see lots of top performers and bands, all just a short trip over to Liverpool City Centre.
How to get there

What a wonderful apartment. It contained everything we needed for our stay. The location was ideal too, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, yet only a few minutes drive away. We will definitely be back. Susan & David
I just loved the apartment. It was the perfect base to explore the Wirral and Cheshire. The owners couldn't have been more helpful. Fiona H.
What a great apartment! Everything was provided for our holiday. It's the ideal location, nice and quiet but with everything within easy reach. We'll come back in the near future. Neil and Maria
