The property was easy to find in a lovely rural area. It was clean, comfortable and came equipped with everything you could need. The host, Ian, was very easy to communicate with and was very friendly. I highly recommend this property to couples or a small family.
Nice property, if you like away from it all this fits the bill. Owners very friendly.

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.

Nice spot, close enough to amenities and far enough away to be super quiet

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for you review, it is a pity you did not point out that you could not find any tea towels when we spoke briefly several times as I would have shown you where they are in the draw. Minor grout crack at the back of the sink and the two small impact marks in the bedroom wall have since been fixed. Blinds will be added to the lounge windows in response to your privacy concern however because the location of that cottage it is rare anyone walks past it. Phil
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.
We aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible and take pride in knowing our guests enjoy their stay. We live on site and spend most of time here. We are always keen to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
