Felt like a nature getaway close to facilities in St Helens.
Pros:

Beautifully presented property in a wonderfully peaceful setting but only minutes drive from St Helens. Very well equipped kitchen, huge comfy bed, large bathroom with excellent toiletries, spotlessly clean. Views across grasslands front and back plus very entertaining birds around the pond. Loved the thoughtful addition of binoculars and bird books.

Cons:

Nothing.

An unforgettable stay filled with beautiful moments, good vibes, and memories I’ll always cherish.
Pros:

It's away from the town. Not saying that the town was loud or busy but it's nice to be surrounded by wildlife for a change

Cons:

I can't think of any to be honest. I stayed at Blue Wren and it was perfect for a lone traveller. They made me move to the Kingfisher cause I want to stay for another night and the house was also amazing. It's perfect for a family or a group of friends staying.

Pros:

Great location! So easy to visit the Bay of Fires. The photos really don't do it justice. The little cabins/units are all nicely laid out and there are lots of views from indoors because of the well positioned windows. The bed was also comfy and the unit had everything you would need.

Cons:

Nothing!

Stunning property, fabulous facilities, lovely owner — we will be back!
Pros:

The property is stunning, with sprawling wetland views. The owner Jerome has thought of so many details, from providing binoculars and bird guides to setting up a game of pétanque out the front. The shared bbq facilities and laundry were super handy, and the kitchen inside the apartment itself was great — made it super easy to pick up local produce along your travels to cook up and enjoy in comfort, with a view. The property is modern, clean and really close to town and Jerome had great recommendations for places to dine and things to experience in St Helens and beyond. He’s got great plans for the place and we can’t wait to come back. The resident ducks were very friendly too!

Cons:

Nothing, everything was fantastic!
