The Dog House is in a great location in Pensby on the Wirral. It’s situated at the back of the house which comes off a really nice quiet road with lots of parking spaces in surrounding area There is a local shop with all you need, from food, snacks,alcohol, tobacco and plenty more, two minutes away. Opposite is the bus stop that takes you straight into Liverpool, Or the other direction into our little town of Heswall which has some nice bars, cafes and restaurant. Heswal bus station will also be able to take you into Chester. We are 30 minutes away from Chester and about 20 minutes away from the border of North Wales, some great places to visit to if you’re looking for a day trip. We are close to beautiful woodland areas for those that love walking. We are surrounded by beaches and beautiful coastal areas. My favourite is West Kirby beach which is about a 15 minute drive where you can walk around the Marine Lake or just eat fish and chips on the beach. And great neighbours : ) The Dog House has a great warm feel to it. It’s a great space for couples or young families. It has a double bed plus a spare folding bed and a large comfy sofa. A DJ booth with connection to either phone or iPad, and a record player. A kitchenette with all equipment, including tea and fresh coffee. A private toilet and shower room. A 3in1 pool table. A shared swimming pool, bbq area with open bbq and utilities.
As we live in the main house there will always be someone to hand if guests need anything. We are quite a chilled family and always happy to help.
Great quiet little neighbourhood
