    The location was ideal for us as we were visiting relatives in Formby. We were only a 5 minute drive away. The host, James, was super friendly and went out of his way to make us comfortable. He provided a continental breakfast but also offered...

James
Formby B&B is an old Victorian home is located on Raven Meols Lane which is a roughly a 30 minute walk to our beautiful Merseyside Coast and the famous Formby Red Squirrel Park. Roughly an 8 minute walk into the the small Village there's plenty of stops along the way if you're feeling thirsty or hungry! As you wake up in the morning we have a lovely continental breakfast waiting for you with a selection of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts to name a few! We assure you a quiet nights sleep in our comfy and cosy rooms (after all we all need a good night sleep!) We also have a guest lounge which has 2 sofas and a television which you are more than welcome to use whenever you like.
Hi I'm James. I've recently moved back to Formby with my puppy Labrador (who you might get to meet) and to an old family home to start my career off within the hospitality industry. I love meeting my guests because everyone comes from all over the world to Formby and everyone always has interesting stories! I'm a huge Liverpool FC fan and with the players and our boss Jurgen living in Formby it just seems like the perfect match! I look forward to meeting you.
