Really good accommodation in a nice location.

We liked the cottage itself - had a nice out of the way vibe to it - and the location, for the same reason. It was a nice place to be for a couple of days and nights. If being a bit cut off from everything is your thing then you’ll like this place.

Lovely hoiliday home in peaceful location

Very well equipped home, with everything that you needed. Plenty of space inside and outside for the children. Having two bathrooms is always a plus. Owners on site and very helpful and friendly.

Countryside Iydyll

Five nights in the Lancashire countryside spent in a very comfortable & well equipped cottage situated on a non-working farm in a very peaceful rural setting. It felt like we had the best of both worlds in a way as it was only a five minute drive to a supermarket & take-aways and only about a half hour's drive to Liverpool, Preston or Southport.

Perfect holiday accomodation

Having stayed here last autumn for a week and loving it so much we decided to return this year for another week. We usually stay in Southport when visiting Lancashire but from now on will definitely want to stay at Martin Lane.

Delightful cottage in glorious courtyside

We had a lovely time staying in the "Stable cottage" for my daughters graduation. plenty of car carking which was great as we all met up from different parts of the country and we had 3 cars. The bedrooms had everything you needed and there are 2 bathrooms, one with walk in shower. The shower pressure was a little light but we managed ok.

The Stables, Martin lane.

Good size, comfortable property, all amenities we needed were provided. Sue came to check we were OK, which was nice. Directions need to say ‘second drive’ not second gate as there isn’t one. Confusion on arrival. Overall starting to show signs of needing a refurbishment, floor giving way underfoot in parts, poor quality towels, no milk on arrival for a cup of tea, no soap powder for washing machine, ensuite shower very slow to clear water, maybe partially clogged. Fitted sheet didn’t fit properly, had to keep refitting. Overall a quaint cottage but somewhat tired.
