Wonderful One Night Stay!!

We decided last minute we wanted a night away with the dog. Many places wanted a minimum 2 night booking but we were pleasantly surprised when able to book just the one. The site is set out beautifully. Most of the pods set around a grassy area where May kids (and adults) were enjoying playing games. We brought our own disposable BBQ but they can be bought at the shop alongside coffee, amazing ice creams and things like camping chairs can be rented for a mere £3. We got the fire set which included items to make a campfire and I must say once the sun went down the atmosphere with everyone’s fires going in the dark was magical! There’s also a lovely lake where we were able to walk the dog. The pod was spacious enough and beds comfy. All that’s needed for a night away. The only thing we would have liked was somewhere to tether the dog!! We managed by locking her lead under the bed but this didn’t give her much wiggle room outside of the pod and would have been lovely for her to be based outside with us. If wanting takeaway, we found Antonio’s on just eat and their pizza really was delicious!! I think if the vending machines had a contactless function a lot more people would spend as people tend to not carry cash these days. We will definitely return. Especially at the price (£65+£5 for the dog and £10 for the fire bits). Next time we’d like to venture to Blackpool as it’s really not far away. A+++

Great camping and fishing

Nice spot for fishing. It was nice and quiet for fishing, and we caught plenty of fish in the stock pond. The staff were friendly and the showers in the 24/7 lodge were nice and warm. Good place for a warm dry brekkie if that's what you're looking for. The cafe is open most of the day. It was nice and quiet at the end of the night.Family and pet friendly

A tranquil lakeside glampsite just 15 minutes from Blackpool?" you ask incredulously. No dear camper, we're not a few tent pegs short of a full set. The Lancashire Fylde is a peninsula bounded by the Bowland hills to the east, the Irish Sea to the west, Morecambe Bay to the north and the Ribble estuary to the south. Once harvested for peat by the locals, the land is incredibly nutrient rich and today, a wide variety of flora and fauna abounds. It is here that the industrious folks from Stanley Villa Farm have been busy creating and developing their Award Winning Site!The colourful locally built Pods are fully insulated and equipped with 2 beds and mattresses (you'll just need to bring your own bedding. Airbeds can be hired for children). Half of the Pods are heated with a radiator for those who feel the cold.The Bell Tents which run from April to October are fully furnished with; a double bed, a double sofa bed, drawers for storage, and beautiful greenery and led candles. The centerpiece of the Bell Tents are the Wood-Burning Stoves! All Pods and Bell Tents come with a fire pit and fire wood packages can be purchased on site. We have the Lake View heated pod with a Wood Fired Hot Tub and Bell Tent 1 with a Wood Fired Hot Tub. Perfect for soaking up the stunning lakeside views. The communal Lakeside Lodge has 3 shower rooms, kitchen area with Kettle, Toaster, Microwave, Fridges and Freezers plus a large common room.The centerpiece of the site is the 4 acre lake which welcomes all levels of anglers to fish for Carp, Roach and Rudd. The Carp range in size upto 24lbs. It’s also not unusual to see wild deer as well as the usual suspects (rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, and a large selection of birds including; kingfishers, hawks and owls) congregating to sup from its waters.While not as wild as the fells of neighboring Cumbria and a touch too far inland to enjoy coastal views, this part of the north-west has its own unique charm. Moreover, it's ideally placed for a bit of rural relaxation.

The Forest of Bowland, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,is a beautiful stretch of rugged, unspoilt countryside covering 312 squaremiles of rural Lancashire and adjacent Yorkshire. Perfect for gentle walks,mountain biking, bird watching and scenic picnics. Lytham St Annes is a charming and most famous for its world-renowned golf course. A beer festival is held every September and the annual Lytham Proms take place by the town's charming windmill. Morecombe Bay is not too far either. Blackpool is just a 15 minute drive away from the farm. With donkey rides, candy floss and assorted seaside goodies, it's a great place to reconnect with the holidays of your childhood. Tourist favourites include the Winter Gardens, Pleasure Beach and iconic Blackpool Tower.

Most guests opt to BBQ or rustle something up in the campsite kitchen. The Eagle at Weeton (01253 542141) offers a fantastic selection of modern pub food. The Ashiana (01253 836883) is a superb nearby Indian restaurant, specialising in traditional Bangladeshi dishes. Open till late every night – eatin or collection only. Or if you don’t mind a short 15 minute drive, there is arange of dining options available in Lytham. Try Bosco (01253 733799) for a variety of Italian cuisine. There’s also a range of great pubs and bars with a vibrantatmosphere including CAMRA approved tavern - The Taps.
