About this house rental
Sea and City - on the beach!
Stunning luxurious first line property for both beach escape and city visits; with unequalled views and location, on the beach at Blundellsands, (situated between Liverpool & Southport) offering unrivalled sea views from every room; Anthony Gormley statues 'Another Place' (the Iron Men who can be viewed from within house!) Sea views also encompass the Wirral peninsular and Welsh Hills beyond. Direct access onto expansive sandy beach, promenade, sand dunes and also offers lovely coastal walks and cycle routes. Easy walking distance to Crosby & Blundellsands station (less than 5 minutes) and a 15 minutes train journey to Liverpool or 20 minutes to Southport.
This large open plan property is a luxurious throughout with an extremely large open plan luxury kitchen with marble topped island, overlooking the sea; bedrooms all with en-suite designer bathrooms, a tasteful interior giving a feel of a New England beach house. White and cream throughout, it exudes an air of calm and tranquility that enhances the stunning views from all of the rooms. With plantation shutters, cream limestone floor, marble topped kitchen island and worktops, underfloor heating and intelligent lighting system - it has a contemporary feel. The log burning stove provides a cozy retreat when the weather changes over the sea. It has 3 double bedrooms (one extremely large Master bedroom) all ensuite with the highest quality bathrooms. It also has an additional bathroom on the ground floor. A flat screen television and internet access are provided. The modern fitted kitchen is fully equipped and laundry facilities are also available. At the rear of the property there is a charming courtyard and gated entrance providing complete privacy. Off road parking (including a garage with an electric up and over door) is available for up to three cars. One in the garage, 1 or 2 in the courtyard.
You’ll love its superb beach location and the extensive private garden, almost the size of a football pitch, fronting onto the beach, where you can sit in privacy watching the stunning sunsets or the ships travelling up and down the estuary. You will enjoy the beautiful coastal walks and cycle routes and feel as though you are miles from anywhere, yet you are a short distance from the vibrant city of Liverpool with its maritime history, Liverpool One shopping centre and The Beatles Experience. Liverpool has more museums, theatres and galleries than any other UK city outside of London so prepare for a cultural experience. Rough Guide to the Planet states it is the 3rd best city to visit in the world!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Julie was friendly, communicative and accommodating. The home itself was gorgeous with the most amazing views and location. The welcome basket of goodies, plus the wine and milk, etc were much appreciated. It was a wonderful place to relax after some very busy traveling.

Julie looked after us perfectly from booking the property to departing. We were playing golf for the week. It is the perfect base to explore the wonderful links of Lancashire. Lovely house with views of the sea. Everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend. *****

My family and I stayed at this lovely house over the May bank holiday weekend. The house is a large open property, with stunning views and beach within minutes. The railway station is close by, we went to Waterloo marina and Southport on the train rather than driving. Julie our host was very helpful and contacted me during our stay to see if everything was ok and did we need anything? I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a city (Liverpool) and beach break.

Wonderful ocean front property with views from every room. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the well furnished house, backyard and the long walks on the path by the sea. Julie is a great host. She was there to welcome us and gave us great local information and advice. Thank you Julie and Steve for your hospitality,kindness and generosity. We will definitely come back when we are back in town to watch another football game 😊❤️

Wow!! What can i say about the property and our stay....wow just wow! We had a fantastic time on our stay. Julie is an incredible host, very gracious and willing to help in any way. The home itself is 5*, very well maintained, a huge garden, and some of the most incredible views imaginable. My family loved it! We wish we lived there, its so serene and peaceful....morning coffee overlooking the beach and the Mersey cannot be beaten!
Next time i go back to Liverpool i hope to stay there again. Thank you Julie! Hope to see you again soon!

This property far exceeded our expectations. It is incredibly spacious, very clean, and well-stocked with every amenity you could need while staying away from home. The property was a perfect place for our family of five from America to spread out and relax between our day trips around this area of England. The property is conveniently located to many attractions and restaurants, with easy access to major roads and trains. Our favorite activity was walking along the beach or just sitting in the home watching all the boats and ferries go by. It truly is an incredible place. Julie is a very gracious and attentive host, who has lovingly maintained this home, and she went above and beyond to make this a special stay for our family while we were traveling.

We spent a wonderful week here with the family over the holiday period. Julie was an amazing host who responded to our emails/queries immediately and provided not only a lovely hamper and fresh flowers, but Christmas trees too! The house is in a great location with amazing views. The underfloor heating was really appreciated after some very cold and windy walks along the beach! We will definitely be booking again in the near future.

We had a really lovely break at this beautiful house which is so conveniently located for a coast and city break. Julie and Steve were so helpful both before and during the visit, with a tour of the house and suggestions on things to do in the local area. We loved being so close to the beach and also enjoyed visiting Liverpool on the train with the station only a few minutes away. Would really recommend this house for hosts, location and accommodation. Thanks Julie and Steve!

Our family visited Liverpool for the weekend and loved our stay. Amazing views and super clean home. Julie was very attentive and responded to all our requests and needs.
The home was clean and tidy with many amenities. Coffee maker and plunger coffee pot with some treats left for us on the counter. TV with most of the streaming services available. Bedding and towels as well as soaps and hair shampoo. Washing machine available too.
Location was perfect for our needs. Shops nearby and town a short Uber ride away.

We booked this property as home base while traveling between family & friend gatherings in Blackpool, Liverpool, and Manchester. The sweeping views of the sea and sounds of the ocean were spectacular. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. Julie was an attentive and responsive host. She provided the most lovely welcome basket and little touches throughout the house which made us feel welcome and pampered. We highly recommend it and will be back if our travels bring us back to the Liverpool area again!

We are a family with children who had a fantastic stay in this lovely house. Plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen, a big garden and a fantastic sea view. Perfect location to go to beach and close to train station that easily takes you to central Liverpool. Julie and Steve are great landloards who can help or give suggestions for restaurants and other things to see during your visit. We are looking forward to come back.

We booked this, pretty much last minute, as a base to explore Liverpool and the surrounding area from. We’re so glad we did! We had a lovely, friendly welcome from the owner Julie, who was so helpful during our stay, thank you 🌟, ………and the welcome pack was the best we’d ever seen! Every aspect of the property is excellent. It is clean, warm, tastefully decorated, well equipped. It has good Wi-Fi ( a must if, like us, you have teenagers) It is wonderfully spacious, light and airy with stunning views out to sea. You would certainly never tire of the view which takes in Anthony Gormley’s “Another Place” sculptures and the Welsh hills can also be seen on the horizon. Walks along the long sandy beach are a must! Liverpool is a 20 to 30 minute drive away ( depending on traffic) and there is cheap all day parking at King Park across the road from Wapping Dock.
We have no hesitation in highly recommending this beautiful cottage as a place to stay, so much so that we would love to come back again in the future.

One of the best experiences we have had when booking accomodation. Travelling from Brisbane, Australia to visit our home town of Liverpool for a few weeks, the whole process was faultless. The initial booking reservation, the beautiful house in a fabulous location to checking out, Julie was the perfect host and extremely accomodating in meeting our needs as a family. Even the welcome pack was such a lovely gesture when you don’t have the initial supplies. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back to stay when we are next in Liverpool.
Thanks so much Julie. X

We had a wonderful stay in this gorgeous house. The perfect location, huge outdoor space, view of the sea and luxurious interior. The sunsets were stunning, ship watching became a new pass time as we watched the ships sail to and from Liverpool with a glass of fizz on the patio. Julie was the perfect host, greeting us on arrival and making sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this beautiful house if you are planning a trip away. It has everything you need and more. Simply beautiful.

We loved our stay at Crosby. A super comfortable house, decorated to the highest standards and with every comfort we could think off. The house is very handy to drive into Liverpool, with the train station just a short walk away if also needed. Shops are just a few minutes drive away for any shopping, albeit Julie our host, as well as giving us a very warm welcome in person had also left a lovely welcome hamper with some essentials and goodies too. We would love to come back another time, and hopefully get the same unbelievable weather. We would totally recommend this property and hope you have as much fun there as we had

Can I say a huge thank you to Julie. Before we even got to the property you were so helpful in re-arranging our stay due to Covid. We received a lovely welcome to the property and a lovely welcome pack. The wine and chocolates went down a treat. The property itself is wonderful. So comfortable and homely. It is very spacious. 6 adults shared with no problems at all. This property will not disappoint it is exactly as it is described. Julie was a lovely host and always on hand if we had any issues which can I add we didn't. Everything was just perfect. Would recommend and will be back.

We can’t thank Julie enough for making our stay so wonderful! From an early check in, to showing us around the property and leaving us a little welcome basket - she was an amazing host. The property itself was spotless, I can’t fault anything at all. Location wise it was perfect for us as we wanted to pop into Liverpool - so the train link was ideal. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! Thank you Julie 😊

Exceeded memories
We returned to Crosby to have a family holiday. The Garden and beach were excellent and better than we remembered from a previous visit. The property was perfect for all of us. We will definite return as my 5 year old loved that he could get to the beach in minutes and play sport in the garden. We couldn’t ask for more and Julie and Steve were there for every need we had. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent break and I’d recommend it to anyone!!

What a a great weekend we had staying at this property. The accommodation was fantastic, felt like a luxury hotel but with a homely feel, the best of both worlds!!! The views of the sea are amazing, it was so peaceful and relaxing watching the sunsets & the many ships sail in & out of the docks. We can’t wait to hopefully visit again at some point in the near future.

Fabulous holiday destination
Our family had a wonderful time here. It has stunning views of the sea and Gormley's statues. The location is very quiet and peaceful with just a few minutes walk to the beach. The house is beautiful and immaculately kept. The host is also very welcoming and helpful. All essentials are provided (bedding, towels, toiletries, breakfast cereals, milk, bread etc) for a truly wonderful break. There are fantastic golf courses nearby and lots of lovely restaurants to dine in. We really can't recommend this enough!

Stunning view and amazing access to the beach, lovely walks / runs along the coastal path.
Internally modern, spacious yet still charismatic property just far enough away from the beach to be peaceful even on a busy bank holiday.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others and hope to find the opportunity to visit again.

Wonderful stay!
We held a family gathering at this beautiful property in our home city of Liverpool. Three generations came from 4 different countries. The place is just perfect- the views are exceptional. The house is well equipped and spotless. The decor, furnishings and appliances are all high end and better than most holiday lets and the owners could not have been more helpful. The logistical challenges of coordinating this family gathering during the pandemic were made so much easier by Julie's flexibility. She allowed us to change our original booking (during lockdown) for a later date at no charge. The wonderful large garden meant we could socially distance with relatives staying elsewhere and the whole holiday was just perfect. Could not recommend Gabel Cottage highly enough!
