The Northern England / Lancashire region
Lancashire is full of great fun, exciting activities and amazing attractions to entertain the whole family during the holidays. Whether you visit for a refreshing break or an enjoyable day out, you can be sure to be met with Lancashire's renowned warmth and friendliness.
The districts of Lancashire each have their own character and charm. Some are centred on cities and town, others embrace rivers, valleys and rural villages. Some are steeped in the heritage of the Industrial Revolution, others are more medieval. Some lie in the rugged hills, others on the coastal plains. Each one is worth getting to know individually. Together they make up Lancashire in all its glory, the perfect getaway destination. Mulberry Cottage is nestled in the heart of Lancashire in the borough of Wyre where unspoilt countryside goes hand in hand with market towns and traditional seaside resorts.

Reviews
 09 Nov 2011 |
We stayed in Mulberry cottage for October half term. It is a beautiful cottage and in a lovely area, in an ideal situation with easy access to Blackpool and Lancaster. It is within walking distance of Poulton and there is a leisure centre just around the corner. The cottage is well supplied with everything needed for a self catering holiday. There are one or two things that would improve this cottage considerably. There are two of the bedrooms with no plug sockets which isn't very convenient for teenage girls. Also we did have difficulty sorting out the TV set up in the lounge. Having said that we would not hesitate to have another holiday there, especially as we have a daughter at Lancaster University. Response: Thank you for taking the time to review Mulberry Cottage & I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay there. You're right, Poulton is a lovely town and becoming an increasingly popular place to visit. I'm sorry you were unable to find the plug sockets. I can assure you every bedroom has at least one and most considerably more than that. I suspect the beds must have been hiding them. Next time just give me a ring and I will point you in the right direction :). Anyway, I'm happy to hear that it didn't spoil your enjoyment of the cottage and you will be visiting again. That's great - you will be very welcome!! |
