Travellers describe Martin Lane Farm Holiday Cottages as peaceful, comfortable self‑catering cottages in a rural setting, with very clean, well‑equipped interiors, welcoming hosts, child‑friendly gardens, and easy parking, making it a relaxing base for families, couples, and repeat visitors.
Many note spacious layouts, full kitchens and comfortable beds, with some cottages opening onto large shared gardens or private patios. The setting is quiet and off the beaten track yet accessible to canal walks and nearby towns, with shops and pubs a short drive or walk away. Criticism is rare, limited to small practical niggles (like a single bathroom in the largest unit) and one isolated report of disturbance outside. Expect a calm, well-kept countryside stay with reliable self-catering comforts.

We had a great stay at The Stable. It’s really comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing time. It’s in a peaceful setting yet close enough to quickly pick up any necessities. Easy parking is a bonus and taxis were easily bookable too. We are regular visitors to the area and really wish we’d found this place much sooner. For us it was perfect and we’ll definitely be back.

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.

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.

Ready at our ETA. Quick access (online check-in, key in door). Owner came to make sure we were OK, answered our questions, told us where he was (next door) in case we had a problem (we didn't). Didn't bother us again. We had the small Dairy Cottage - plenty of room for the two of us - but patio doors straight onto the big garden which the other cottages didn't seem to have. We sat outside a lot just having a cup of tea and looking around at greenery. It's hypnotic. We didn't want for anything. Every home comfort was provided. We had some nice walks but, if you're looking for food, turn right at the canal bridge towards Leo's. Turn left and you end up at a dismal pub that advertises food outside and inside but doesn't do it. We were told 'kitchen closed' at our lunchtime visit but reviews suggest it hasn't done food for a few years. My only suggestion for Martin Lane Holiday Cottages? Update the guest information folder. Otherwise an excellent short break and we would certainty go back.

The cottage is one of four, in a really peaceful area with the owners living next door. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and are happy to share their garden and surrounding fields with you. Very child friendly place.

A wonderful place to stay! Perfectly sized and set out for solo or a couple. Private, you wouldn't know there are other units around, but this would be a great place for a stay that needed a number of separate spaces. Convenient for WWT Martin Mere (less than an hour walk if you're so inclined). Although not needed, parking space was fine and safe. Truly everything you'd need for a short (or longer) stay.

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 ❤️

We choose this place since it was near family who we were visiting from the US for Christmas. We will choose it again because it was very comfortable, clean, and easy to access with lots of room to spread out. I would also like to recognize that the decorations for Christmas- lights inside and out along with small things like the Christmas serviettes were a nice touch. We choose the 3 bedroom The Granary even though it was just my husband and I because the main bedroom has a king size bed which we needed since my husband is very tall. It seems to be hard to find this large bed around England! I also appreciated things like hooks, drawers, shelves around to place things.

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 sat outside a lot just having a cup of tea and looking around at greenery. It's hypnotic. We didn't want for anything. Every home comfort was provided. We had some nice walks but, if you're looking for food, turn right at the canal bridge towards Leo's. Turn left and you end up at a dismal pub that advertises food outside and inside but doesn't do it. We were told 'kitchen closed' at our lunchtime visit but reviews suggest it hasn't done food for a few years. My only suggestion for Martin Lane Holiday Cottages? Update the guest information folder. Otherwise an excellent short break and we would certainty go back.

Location
A peaceful, rural setting that feels tucked away yet remains convenient for canal walks and nearby towns, with shops and pubs reachable by a short drive or walk. One review reported an external disturbance, but most describe it as quiet.

We had a great stay at The Stable. It’s really comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing time. It’s in a peaceful setting yet close enough to quickly pick up any necessities. Easy parking is a bonus and taxis were easily bookable too. We are regular visitors to the area and really wish we’d found this place much sooner. For us it was perfect and we’ll definitely be back.

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.

A wonderful place to stay! Perfectly sized and set out for solo or a couple. Private, you wouldn't know there are other units around, but this would be a great place for a stay that needed a number of separate spaces. Convenient for WWT Martin Mere (less than an hour walk if you're so inclined). Although not needed, parking space was fine and safe. Truly everything you'd need for a short (or longer) stay.

One of my favourite places to stay. Decent pubs within walking distance but none do food after 7pm! Lots of choice on Just Eat and there is an excellent Booths supermarket nearby.

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 ❤️

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.

Lovely little cottage very close to the centre of Liverpool. Perfect for what we needed. Everything was very clean and lots of equipment if you wanted to cook etc. Beds were very comfortable and communication was great. Everything about it was perfect. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. 😊

So wonderfully quiet! Beautiful historic farm barns conversion. Owners provided good communication and were on hand if we needed anything. The double bed was absolutely superb, comfortable and very large. I couldn't work out the configuration upstairs from the photos, but there are 2 bedrooms and one family bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. Would happily stay there again. We were 2 adults with our 2 grown up daughters . We also had 2 other members of our family join us for lunch at the outdoor table and chairs. Free parking in the pretty courtyard. Thank you!

We stayed in the Dairy this trip and we absolutely loved it. It’s so comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could want/need (oven, hob, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster etc). The bed is huge and the bedding is very comfortable … we slept better than at home. The outside space is lovely and the chickens popping by to visit are a real treat! We’ve previously stayed a few times in the Stables at the farm which we’ve also loved … it’s a very special place and we’ll look forward to our next stay. Thank you so much.
