About this property
Laurel Pod - UK47203
A wonderful glamping pod complete with bubbling hot tub, in a beautiful rural location, yet just 30 minutes from the coastal towns of Formby and Southport.. 1 step to entrance.
All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Smart TV
Dining area.
Kitchen area: 2-Ring Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Underfloor central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Lawned rear garden with garden furniture. Hot tub for 2 (private). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. This wonderful pod can be found in a private setting on the friendly owner’s working farm in the pretty Lancashire village of Lathom. Surrounded by open countryside they boast their own private hot tub, and make a perfect base for couples wanting a glamping break away. With views reaching as far as the Lake District, Pennines and Welsh mountains, the rural countryside location feels miles from anywhere, however the location is far from remote being just 2 miles from Ormskirk and 1 mile from the village of Westhead. A traditional pub serving food can be reached within a 5-minute walk, and ample walking and cycling in the surrounding stunning countryside is available direct from the front door.
The ancient market town of Ormskirk provides a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars to accommodate most tastes. It’s also home to a train station which offers a direct service to the bright lights and city centre of cosmopolitan Liverpool in just over half an hour. The bustling town of Burscough is also just 4 miles away and has excellent amenities including Burscough Wharf, which is a vibrant selection of arts, crafts, food and drink all under one roof.
The Victorian seaside town of Southport, with its long, sandy beach and funfair, can be reached in around half an hour, as can Crosby Beach, which together with the ‘Another Place’ sculptures by internationally acclaimed artist Antony Gormley, has a 22-mile coastal path to explore. Further afield, the city of Manchester and the Trafford Centre can be reached in under an hour drive or the Lake District National Park in just over an hour. Beach 13 miles.
