Apartment 54

Apartment 54 sits on the fourth floor of a converted office building in Preston city centre, with on-site parking for one car. The entrance is 50 steps away. Everything centres on an open plan layout: living and dining areas flow into a kitchen equipped with electric oven, hob, microwave and washing machine. The bedroom contains a zip-and-link kingsize bed that can be configured as two singles. A bathroom with bath and shower serves the space. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; the flat does not permit smoking.

The location puts you within walking distance of Preston's bars, restaurants, pubs and shops. Transport links by road and rail run in all directions from here. The Lake District lies an hour away by car or train, while the Lancashire coast—Formby, Lytham St Annes, Cleveleys—is also within reach. Blackpool sits 30 minutes' drive south. Closer by, the Ribble Valley offers countryside and local food, and the 21-mile Guild Wheel route connects Preston for cycling and walking. The property sleeps up to two guests and is yours alone during your stay.
