Great Eccleston in the Wyre Valley

A delightful Lancashire village near Blackpool and in easy reach of the Lake District

The village of Great Eccleston is situated in lovely countryside in the Wyre Valley only 8 miles from the bustling coast resort of Blackpool. It is also the perfect location for a day trip to the Lake District which is less than 40 miles away and a quick trip up the M6. 

However there is plenty to do and see right on our doorstep. Our village has great places to eat out with three pubs on the doorstep including a gastro pub.

A short stroll away, either along the river or by road, brings you to the little village of Little Eccleston where you will find the award-winning Cartford Inn, which offers a dining experince not to be missed.

Had a lovely stay in Mary's apartment - so clean, amazingly well equipped, and wonderfully comfortable. Had expected something special from the listing but the experience was even better. Felt like a real home from home . It is the perfect base from which to discover all that this part of the NW has to offer or just to relax in Great Eccleston, a lovely place with a great cafe, Italian, and fish and chip shop literally on the doorstep. A great place to stay.

Beautiful apartment/maisonette in a great location, not far from the lake district and the attractions like Blackpool and Liverpool. Apartment is very well equipped and tastefully presented. The host was extremely helpful when required as well.
