Security barrier to site superb Owners welcoming Shop stocked with the basics
Site and facilities were spotless(first port of call on arrival at new site is to have a toilet check this one passed with flying colours)well maintained site a site the owners should be proud of
Local Morrisons within walking distance
Our party had two full days out one in Liverpool and one in Blackpool
Will definitely be gong back to Abbey Farm again and will be recomending it to friends.
What a wonderful site. We only stayed for 2 nights, Friday and Saturday, but a very enjoyable weekend. Staff very friendly, nice flat grassy pitch. The toilet and shower block spotless, but I must add that the shower cubicles were a bit tight. Shop stocked all that you need, but the villages of Burscough and Ormskirk are not too far away. Great field for letting the dog off the lead and the next field to that had a pond for the anglers amongst us. Security at the site is first class. Great site and we are back again soon.
I agree with the majority of entries for this site. It is clean, peaceful and relaxing. It was our first trip with a caravan and the owner helped my husband reverse our van into position, he was so helpful.
The showers and toilet area are immaculate and warm which was very welcome with the great British weather. There is a play room with pool tables and other games but what we didn't realise is that the machines only accept 50 pence pieces, so if you have children make sure you have a supply as the shop isn't always open when you need change. Perhaps a change machine would be a good investment for the room. Also what we didn't know and it wasn't made clear to us is that the showers are free or included in your site fees, but we took a key for the family room and you need 50p tokens for the hot water for the shower and bath and the hot water ran out. If I'd have known that I wouldn't have taken the key and just used the shower rooms.
There isn't much in the way of leaflets advertising what is on in the area, the only leaflets we saw were for Blackpool Zoo! I would like to see more about the surrounding area and perhaps maps of local walks. We did enjoy our stay and the security gate is great as it really makes you feel secure. My 2 young children and their friends thought it was brilliant, big open spaces to run round in, ideal for the family. We'll certainly be going back.
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
Spent a great Easter weekend on this site. The facilties really are fantastic. The shower and toilet block were spotless at all times and we never had to wait for a shower. The family bathroom is a great facility for those of us with young children. The large playing field would be good in better weather. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was our first time out with our van and they helped us with a couple of small teething problems we were having.
Lots to do in the local area. Fairly central for visiting places such as Southport and Liverpool. Definitely worth a visit!
This is a fantastic site and we have visited on many occasions. The owners are lovely and are always willing to help. The shower facilities are spotless and cleaned regularly, there is also a seperate family bathroom which can be used with a £5 deposit from reception an excellent idea with little ones. There is lots to do in the area(not far from southport) and pubs are in walking distance and a large tesco for amenities. There is a shop on site which is very handy. Cant wait to return this year for quite a few weekends!. We have tried other sites but we just love it at Abbey farm
This is a very nice site, and I completely concur with all of the comments.
I wish to add that this is a very secure site with up to date entry system.
We stayed on the Abbey feild, and whilst this feild benefits from a new toilet block, there are only two toilet / showers for the men / women. So if 2 guys were taking a shower, you had to head over to the bigger toilet block (which I did anyway).
There was a downside during our stay: it would appear that there is a fashion for the guys that have tents to bring along their televisions and watch them in the tent until 10.30pm each night, with the volume up fairly loud. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect perfect silence after 9.00pm, but the three units that were there during our stay were way past what is (in my book) acceptable noise levels, and were down right selfish. None of the owners seemed too bothered.
On the plus side, we took advantage of some of the lovely walks in the surrounding countryside, and it really is in a wonderful part of the country. There are a couple of pubs the other side of the railway, and a short drive away are the main towns and cities of the North West.
We will return to this site, and we will specifically ask to be sited on the large feild (which I think is) called the Pyramid Feild.
Do visit this site - it's dead good, but take along your personal stereo.
We stayed here for 2 nights. It is a nice site although the pitch we had was not very big. The toilet and shower facilities were spotless with hair dryers available for 20p. We were a bit worried that the trains running nearby would keep us awake but we either slept very well or they stopped running in the night because we didn't hear them at all. There is a well stocked shop on site, the only downside is that is was closed from 12noon till 3pm just when we ran out of things for lunch. All in all a nice site but we probably wouldn't use it again mainly because of the size of the pitches.
Had a great week here. Lovely people, good facilities, and really nice, helpful staff.
Clean shower block, and never too packed to get a shower whenever you wanted. Good washing up facilities too, with washing machine, dryer, and ironing board/iron too.
No entertainment, or clubhouse, but we didnt mind that. It was just a really nice place to stay.
Would love to stay there again, and if we're in that part of the country again would do so without a doubt.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely site at the end of May and we truly would struggle to think of anything bad to say about it. The site was immaculately maintained and the 'staff' were, without doubt, the most welcoming, helpful and friendly people we have ever encountered on any site. The facilities were more than adequate for our needs, and the shop was well stocked with essential items. We were impressed with the recently installed security measures and the, obviously well thought out, range of amenities throughout the site. Abbey Farm is extremely well situated for visits to Southport, Martin Mere, Rufford Old Hall and a host of other interesting places. It is also wonderfully tranquil for those who prefer to 'chill-out'. The site had been highly recommended to us by several people so it had a lot to live up to. We are happy to say the site and the wonderful staff far exceeded our expectations, so a huge "Well Done and Thank You" to Donna, Ann, John and Roy, we look forward to our next visit to Abbey Farm.
We spent a weekend here as a group of six adults and four children aged 2, 3, 6 & 8.
Our initial thoughts as we were shown to our pitches were that there was very little space between tents and, as a result, very little privacy. Many campsite's we use insist on a six-metre gap between tents because of fire regs but there was less than six feet between our tents and the next family (who actually apologised to us for being so close). We were also on a very small field with little space for the children to play. Part of our group only arrived on the saturday. The owners were able to fit them in the same field (and we were grateful for this as they didn't confirm they would be coming until the saturday morning) but they had to pitch about fifty yards from the rest of us. There was space next to our tents but as there was no formal pitch there the owners would not let us put a tent there. I can understand this but was surprised that they were not prepared to be more flexible as they don't seem too bothered about cramming people in closer together than they really should (according to fire regs observed on other sites).
We like to have a drink and enjoy ourselves in the evening, but not at the expense of others. This was another reason why we were concerned about the close proximity of our neighbours. we go camping between fifteen and twenty weekends a year and we generally have a pretty good idea about what we want from a site. We were not very optimistic about our stay here.
However, we had a very pleasant friday evening, the kids entertained themselves in the small tent field on the saturday morning and in the afternoon we took the chairs and an ice box down to the pond to watch the anglers catching roach, feed the geese and have a dip with the fishing nets. One of the owners came to check we weren't fishing for free but he was pleasant enough about it. We then took the chairs and ice box over to the play area where the kids played happily for a couple of hours.
The quality of the facilities has been well documented and we can understand why this is the perfect site for some campers. We would have preferred more space between tents and somewhere for the children to play where we could see them from the tents, but we ended up having a very nice weekend and agreeing that we would stay at the site again.
This is a really good site where tents, caravans and motorhomes just blend in rather than a 'them and us' type of setup where it's one field for one, one for another, etc.
We visited in May and the weather wasn't superb but the site wasn't too muddy and everywhere was decidedly clean (the toilets inside the shower cubicle took some getting into) and the games room was a good idea.
The staff/owners were superb - shown onto our site with an 'is this one okay?' rather than 'there you go' and the pitches were a good size with power and plenty of well spaced taps and bins. Also they had good advice on how to get into Ormskirk, especially as their were no buses on Dark Lane - but it's only a short walk and taxis to and from the site aren't too expensive.
Overall this is a damn good, quiet and friendly site and we hope to go back sometime this year.
Just returned from our third visit to Abbey Farm, our first since the new owners have taken over. All I can say is I love this site and no other comes close to being anywhere near as good. Our pitch was great, the grass had been mowed and the ground was fine for pitching the tent. Everybody on site was so friendly, both visitors and staff as soon as we arrived a fellow guest offered to give us a hand putting the tent up. There are a lot of children on the site, three of them being my own, but they are all so well behaved and there was so little noise from them, there was an adventure playground on the rec field that they played on and in fact we hardly saw them. The shower block is immaculate, from what I can remember there are 7 shower cubicles with free hot water each having a small pull down seat in them and a small dressing area, 8 toilets (one was out of order but this proved no inconvenience at all) a bank of sinks and also about 3 or 4 sinks in private cubicles, there was a vanity area so you could dry your hair or put your make up on without taking up too much room. The site was full with it being bank holiday weekend but not once did I ever have to wait for a toilet or shower to become free. There is a small shop on site selling essentials, my husband used it and said it was reasonably priced, half a dozen eggs 85p and a pint of milk 50p. Noisy groups are frowned upon and the group of two tents opposite us were told off several times and then left early on the Sunday as they thought they were going to be asked to leave, having said that I don't think they were overly noisy, just having a good time, but never the less it is good to know that noise at night will not be tolerated. We ventured in to Ormskirk on Saturday which was about ten minutes in the car away, there was a market and the usual shops, but a lovely butchers shop where people queued out of the door and a couple of great fruit and veg shops selling good quality food really cheap, a pack of cherry plum tomatoes containing about 14 fruits, 39p. On Sunday we went to Southport which took us about half an hour to get there. It was murder to park and be warned that the traffic wardens are very vigilant at checking the pay and display tickets. You are issued with an electronic card on arrival which operates a bollard in the ground for access to and from the site. I felt at ease with my three children wondering around and doing their own thing. All in all Abbey Farm is a wonderful site, in fact so fantastic I almost didn't leave a review as I want to keep it quiet . Well done Abbey Farm on being such a great place to stay. We are looking forward to our next visit.
We have just returned from a weekend at Abbey Farm a friend of mine having recommended the site. What a wonderful weekend we experienced. The site was clean, very well set out but the main plus for me was the way that the owners ran things. Everyone was aware of the campsite rules and everyone adhered to these. The site was wonderfully quiet at night and even though many owners had dogs I did not here one bark during the hours of darkness. Obviously the attitude of the owners rubs off and attracts the right sort of clientele. We were a party of four, myself, my wife, a 9 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. My son has autism and was made very welcome by the party of the two caravans next to us. They played “Swingball” with him all weekend and nothing was too much trouble for them. So, if you enjoy partying in your awning until the small hours, rolling out of the club shouting goodnight to everyone you see, having a car door slamming competition, letting your children run riot, leaving your dogs to bark all night and arguing with your partner so all the site can hear, then this site is NOT for you. There are plenty in Lancashire to accommodate you, I know, I’ve been on ‘em ! But not anymore.
