The property had everything you need for staying away and the beds were comfortable, the owners welcomed us and were friendly, they provided with a number for a local taxi service which were helpful and reliable. Enjoyed our short stay.

Such a shame
The cottage is lovely - warm, clean, well equipped and comfortable. But… The radiator by our heads in bed wouldn’t turn off or down and was hot all night which made sleeping difficult There were multiple mouse droppings in our bed and on the bedside cabinet Also mouse droppings on the fridge and stacked up behind the fridge in a huge pile I asked for a refund from the owners but wasn’t given one. I did not even get an acknowledgment or an apology. It is in the country so I can understand why there may be a problem with mice but nothing seems to be done about it. Such a shame as the cottage itself was beautifully presented, equipped and clean.

Sue and Phil are very helpful and are happy to help with anything you may require during your stay. They are only across the courtyard in the farmhouse so it’s easy for communication. I went with my 2 brothers and dad for a weeks trip around liverpool and it was an easy car journey of around 45 mins into the city. Great garden that is good for relaxing and kids to run around. Very quiet area. Cottage was clean and loved and you can tell the couple like to keep high standards. Shower was fab. We were in the shippon, but next doors couple were just as happy with there cottage. Great stay and would stay again. Great value for money too.

Cosy and well-equipped get-away in rural setting
We stayed in 'The Dairy', one of several holiday units converted from farm buildings, surrounding a cobbled courtyard. Beautifully clean and well-furnished. The kitchen area was well-equipped; the bathroom was of a good standard. The bedroom patio doors led to a small patio and then to a huge shared garden. The owners were really helpful. We loved it.

Everything we needed - lovely setting
Was greeted on arrival by the owner who was very welcoming. These are lovely cottages tucked away off the beaten track but still very accessible. Had everything we needed and was the perfect size for our short trip to visit our son who is studying in Ormskirk and a trip to Bolton to watch the football. Would definitely recommend.

We have now stayed here four times. Su and Phil are lovely hosts - very accommodating and helpful. There is a beautiful garden with lots of space for family gatherings with play areas for children. The cottages are spotlessly clean and well equipped. There is good walking roundabout especially on the canal and the peacocks in a neighbouring garden are a bonus.

What a find! We came as a Family of 4 for a wedding in Ormskirk. We had the Granary cottage and it was absolutely perfect for us. It had a twin bedroom on the ground floor and a twin and kingsize upstairs as well as a large bathroom with a bath and walk in shower. The cottage was very large and suited us perfectly with 2 large sofas and a table and 6 chairs in the living area. The kitchen was fully equipped and we had everything we needed for the weekend. The parking was ideal, a courtyard right outside which was very private and secure. The gardens were so beautiful and well kept with lots of seating and Phil made us feel welcome to have a look around. There was also seating outside the cottage which was perfect for us for Morning cuppas and evening wines! The only criticism i have is the ironing board was too small which isn’t a criticism at all! It was just we had lots of wedding gear to iron but it was manageable. The cottages are on a very quiet lane which we walked along to the nearby canal and also farm shop and cafe which did an excellent breakfast! Overall our stay was perfect just too short, we are already looking forward to coming back later in the year. Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The Shippon was a lovely little cottage with all the amenities we needed and set in a lovely quiet countryside location. The hosts we great - extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. We stayed for our little boys 5th birthday and they even let us hire a bouncy castle in one of the gardens. We had a fantastic weekend and the birthday boy had ‘the best day ever’! Thank you!

We were very pleased that Phil at Martin Lane Cottages gave us an upgrade to a larger unit with more amenities. This, I'm sure was because of our unusual situation. We booked this unit because we were in the process of finding a flight home to Canada. We found out that our flight would take place on Sunday morning the 22nd of March. This meant that we were only staying for two nights instead of five nights. I contacted ebookers for a refund but was refused. Under the pandemic circumstances, I feel that a refund of unused days would be gracious.
