This is our 2nd visit to abbey farm, and although a lot busier this time, because it was bank holiday, it was still a great weekend, we where shown to our pitch which was flat and sheltered, we had had heavy rain for a week and although parts of the site were muddy it was nothing that couldnt be put up with. Our pitch was close to the smaller toilet block, which were always spotless and even though the site was full we never had to queue. On the saturday the adjacent tent was listening to football on a rather loud radio, the warden was extremley quick in making sure this was turned down, we were listening to the radio ourselves but we didnt want to hear somebody elses! the shop was well stocked and the kids enjoyed going for the paper each morning.
We are looking forward to visiting again and have even enquired about siting our van there, I cannot recommend this site enough it is 1st class
We had a lovely time at Abbey Farm and will be going back. Our pitch was great, flat and near the washing up facilities which were covered and clean and with boiling hot water. The walk to shower/toilets was fine, and the facilities were always clean and again lovely hot water for the showers. My 4yr old and 2yr old loved the playground, loads of space to run around and play ball. The owners were helpful and very friendly (good luck with the new baby!). Its a short drive to formby beach, which was really lovely. The site was very quiet at night.
Visited this lovely site for the weekend with friends just before the children go back to school and to try out our new caravan.
We arrived on the friday teatime and once we had been into the reception we where then shown to our pitch by one of the friendly owners who stayed with us and helped us into place with our caravan. (Staff can't do enough for you always there if you need any help or advice).
The site is so peaceful and clean, the children loved the playing field and play park (didn't see much of the little ones only at feeding time they where to busy playing). The two husbands enjoyed the fishing in the site pond, also the dogs enjoyed the lovely dog walks and play field giving them alot of exercise. The showers and toilet facilites where immaculate all the time we where there.
We have stayed at this site a few times and also visited friends here numerous times and can say that this is one of the friendliest, cleanest, peaceful sites we have been to in all the time we have been caravaning.
Overall review: FANTASTIC definitely coming again infact have already booked for bank holiday next year.
Just got back from Abbey Farm. On arrival we rang the intercom to be let in through the super security system. Reception was waiting for us. After being greated by very pleasant, helpful friendly staff, we was asked if we would like to order papers during our stay. We was shown to our serviced pitch by one of the brothers who stayed until they made sure we got our caravan into place. The pitch we was on was very good a bit damp, but with the amount of rain it has done over the weeks it was better than you would of expected it to be. As to last review put on, I hope this puts other readers minds at rest. Last Year when we had been going to stay, they have phoned up to say the pitch is very wet and a bit muddy and was given the choice as to visit or cancel. We went ahead with our stay and was offered by themselves to put the caravan onto the pitch. The toilet blocks was spotless, clean and tidy, which during our stay was always the same. The shop is well stocked with every day items. The kids enjoyed the games room with the pool table and table tennis. The park is great and well equipped. The recreational field is very large ideal for football, rounders, cricket etc. The dog walk is great for my lively 2 year old dog to run around and burn up her energy. The kids also love the pond to catch fish in which keeps them quiet for hours. We have just booked to go back again next year (Thank you John for taking our booking even when you was very busy you still had time to take all the details without rushing us) as the site is peaceful, spacious and with excellent owners who can not do enough for anyone. They walk around the site regually and stop to talk to you if you are about or wave as passing. They check bins regulary. The ladies in the office/shop are always helpful and always have a smile to great you. I always hate leaving this site and can not wait till we go again for our 5th time. We can not thank you enough for having a super site, keep up the hard work. We look forward to see you soon.
We telephoned in the morning to book a tent pitch, I asked is the ground ok and was assured it was fine.
The price for 6 berth tent with electric, 3 adults and 2 children was £23.00 per night
On arrival we called at reception and was shown to our rather small pitch by the owner, I said its muddy, it was literally thick mud. He said 'you will have to make the most of it'! and walked away!If we hadn't already payed I would have left there and then!
During our stay we walked round the site, and as it was mid week there were lots of empty pitches with lush grass!
Also whilst we were there, the toilets were not cleaned or checked, because if they had have been, the sink blocked with tissue and filled up with water would have been dealt with.
On leaving when asked by his wife how was our stay, we said about the state of the pitch, she apologised and said her husband had been in a bad mood for a couple of days due to some rowdy campers.Not our fault and no reason to treat others badly.So unfortunately we will not be returning again to this site.
We have been to this site in the past and found it very peaceful and friendly.Sadly on this occassion it was not so.
This touring site offers spectacular views towards the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, with Blackpool Tower also in the distance, yet located just over 3 miles from Junctions 34 and 35 of the M6 motorway. Visitors will find just 10 electric pitches for motorhomes and touring caravans, with access to the superfast Wifi, toilets with sinks, a shower room and fresh water taps. Dogs are allowed and there is a designated field for walks.
The local village of Halton is a mile away from the site, offering a convenience store, newsagent, pharmacy, post office and fish and chip shop. The market town of Carnforth is 3 miles away, with its train station (featured in the 1945 film Brief Encounter) and supermarkets. The seaside resort of Morecambe is within 5 miles and the Lake District is only 35-minutes drive. Find out more here
Excellent site, excellent facilities very clean and tidy well looked after,site owners very friendly and helpful. Children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and so did we. Nice mixture of caravans and tents in same field. Cant wait to return(tried to get in bank holiday weekend but was fully booked!).Very recommended.
This was my first time in a touring caravan, we chose this site as it was only 40 mins away. The owners were very helpful and polite, the facilities were very clean and checked. We had a great time and loved our van, we will be going back to this site several times through the rest of the year. A good site and great owners.
Could not sing the praises of this camp site enough. As only new to the camping game we were extremely happy with our choice of site and will definatly return to this site. All facilities were excellent, clean and well maintained. Staff and other campers all very helpful and friendly.
We stayed at Abbey farm with our four children in a 9 berth tent and we were very impressed.
The owners were really friendly and helpful when we arrived showing us where to pitch and where EHU etc was. The site was really clean, tidy and well maintained. The entry system is fantastic and we felt really safe and secure.
The toilets where clean and there were 8 showers that were free with lots of lovely hot water.
The recreation field with its play area was a real bonus and the kids loved it, although the play equipment was a little rusted in places and so could do with a bit of sprucing up
The pitch was really nice and flat, we didn't find ourselves rolling off the airbeds in the middle of the night like we have in some sites! The only down side is that the pitches are quite close together. The site wasn't full when we where there so was it ok but if it was full then the pitches would feel very on top of each other.
All things considered we would definitely return to Abbey Farm and would recommend it to anyone
What a stunning place, everything kept very neat and tidy as it should be, pitches all over the site seem to be placed on lush firm grass, in fact this is the first site I have ever visited were I didn't need my lump hammer on our awning pegs.
All facilities were found to be spotless, even my wife commented on how nice it was to find chemical disposal units in which she didn't need to do the splits to avoid getting splashed during the emptying process.
The playground was great for kids of all ages along with a large field available for anything from a game of football / rounders or even cricket.
Nearest pubs are The Bull and Dog public house opposite the end of Abbey lane, or a left turn brings you to the Beaufort Hotel for those in need of a little pampering,,,, These are less than 1/2 a mile away, but don't forget your torch for the return trip across the railway line.
The site shop has more than you will ever need, but if you feel the need for a 'supermarket' fix there are a few to choose from in the local market town of Ormskirk . Also train link to Liverpool/Preston/Blackpool and beyond are available only 5 minute car ride away, or a 1/2 hour walk or 10 minute bike ride, if you are up to it.
This site has to be a great base for any attraction in and around the North West of England.

I dont think I could add anything to the previous reviews. This is an excellent site. If you can live without amusement arcades, fish and chip shops and noisy bars, then this is the site for you.
The pitches are well laid out. The toilets and showers are spotless with as much hot water as you could need.
John and Roy never seem to rest and do all they can to 'settle you in' and make sure that everything is as it should be.
There are some nice touches like the free library, washing machine and iron.
All in all a well run, super, non too commercial site.
This was our second visit to this site the last time was only a stop over but this time we made it the basis for our summer holiday. What a lovely site and extremely helpful owners, right from the word go when I called to make the booking, they were going out of their way to be helpful. The site itself is lovely and clean and tidy. The toilet block was very clean even just before they were cleaned. There were ample toilets, washbasins and showers for everyone even when the site was full at weekends. The showers were excellent with ample amount of hot water. Watch out though my 3 year old found the childs shower a wee bit too warm. The dog area and fishing pond were all very good, and inexpensive for a days entertainment. The games room kept my kids amused for ages especially on wet days.
Out and about Burscough and Ormskirk are only a few minutes drive away and for those looking for a bit more adventure Southport and Blackpool are not all that for for a day out.
Downsides, well only one really we had such wet weather that the field flooded and left a bit of a lake in the middle maybe drainage could be slightly better.
On the whole I would recommend this site to anyone and thank you to the Perkins family for their helpfulness and kindness.
What a great site, toilets,& showers were spotless. First night on the site sadly we had noisy neighbours until 1-15a.M. Complained to John and wow no noise after that. Great little pub Bull & Dog 10 minute walk across the railway line nice landlord John never got his wifes name as she was busy doing the cooking. Never ate there myself but what I saw, the meals looked like large portions, and most important the John Smiths smooth was great at £2.20 a pint. The question is would I go back certainly
Just returned from an eventful weekend at Abbey Farm. Let me start by saying that the people who run this site could not be more helpful and accommodating! They were fabulous, even when we arrived with an extra child (due to family problems), they took it all in their stride. They even arranged for us to have a larger area near a picnic table and the bbq (which is there for anybody to use).
We had torrential rain on Saturday but the field was very well drained and we had no mud to deal with at all! The showers and toilets were impeccably clean at all times and hot water was always available. Due to the weather, the children (all 5 of them) made use of the games room. This is a fab facility but do take lots and lots of 50p's as everybody had run out and we had to trek into town to get some more!
We woke at about 4am on Sunday to gale force winds, but thanks to the sheltering of the trees, it was not as bad as it could have been! Unfortunately our tent poles snapped as the wind managed to grab the tent as we were taking it down (have had to buy another tent on the way home!).
There is an excellent laundry area and the washing up areas and veg prep areas were excellent too.
The library is great for adults but there are no childrens books available.
The weather may have been against us but the site was not. It was very clean and well-maintained, the facilities were excellent (the best we have come across) and the park and play area were well used by our kids on the friday whie we set up. The electronic barrier system means that the site is very safe and the dog walking field an excellent idea.
I would very highly recommend this site for a quiet weekend where the kids can be kept busy. It is also convenient for Southport and surrounding activities. We will definitely be returning soon.
Just returned from a weekend at this fantastic site, we are still quite new to touring but this site has to be the best we have stayed at. When we arrived at the site, we had to ring the intercom to gain access we were greeted by a friendly warden who showed us where to go to book in, he then showed us to our pitch and helped reverse the caravan into place. He then checked we had everything we needed before leaving. Our pitch was flat and fairly large, we had access to water nearby and the excellant toilet and shower blocks were only a few pitches away. Due to the great security on the site (access only via controlled gate) we felt confident letting our 2 kids go off exploring, they found the recreation field, where they stayed for most of our stay! It had climbing frame, swings, goal posts and a large field for ball games, they also enjoyed the games room where they played pool, table tennis and table football, these all took 50p pieces to operate so take a supply with you! There was a large dog area, and plenty of lovely walks around the site, the fishing lake is in a nice spot. There is a small shop on the site, we ordered newspapers each day, it was well stocked with basic items and pocket money toys for the kids, the toilet blocks are heated and very clean. There is a good number of shower cubicles including a childs cubicle which operates at a lower temperature than the rest (what a great idea) the site also has a small static area, on the whole it is extremly well kept. Nearby is Ormskirk with plenty of shops, the market is on saturday. There are a number of restaurants and takeaways. All in all we would recommend this site to everyone, we have already booked to go back in August!
