Redcroft is a big Victorian house near to Sefton Park and bohemian Lark Lane, 10 mins from the city center by bus (40 mins from Liverpool Airport). Near to main bus routes and St Michael's train station. 3 Large double rooms, one with twin beds - and separate bathroom for guests to share on the top floor of our home. Not far from the river and promenade. We are a family of 5, two adults and three children - our youngest is 14. We like sports (especially football), music and the arts. We love our pets and have 3 cats, 3 dogs and some tropical fish. We regularly have English language students staying with us and enjoy meeting new people. Sadly, because of the animals, window styles and stairs our house is not suitable for families with young children.
There are also bicycles to hire locally too within a 5 minute walk - see Liverpool's citybike scheme for more information.
We will do our very best to ensure you have a great time in Liverpool.

Off road parking is available.

Hi
I stayed with Catherine during the Aintree Grand National week and I found the house to be very clean and really easy to get to from the airport. Catherine and her husband were extremely hospitable and helpful and I will definitely return next year if she has room. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.Gerry Mylotte
