 Old Manor Farm is small but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our children loved the play area and woodland area.

The shower room was lovely and clean and the shower was hot, nothing fancy but perfectly sufficient.

Everyone was friendly and we had a great weekend.

Close enough to southport to get a taxi for under £15.

 Be aware only 1 hard standing here for motorhome, DO NOT GO ONTO GRASS AREA I GOT STUCK HERE AND TO BE WINCHED OFF THIS TIME OF YEAR.

The owner christine was helpful to get us pulled out, but we should have been told.

The owner allowed another motorhome to park next to us with only a car space between us, and a car tried to park between us late evening.

There should be a 6 metre rule for fire(health and saftey) it seems the owner is not adhering to 6 metre rule as we saw tents with young families with only 4feet between them.

Toilets/ showers are ok but need upgrade. You can use bus service to Southport or preston by flagging down bus

 The site was easy to find. Cheap. Showers toilets could do with refurb.

Woodland walk very small. Took five mins to complete. Not what you expect. We found they tried to cram to many on.

Its a small site and was very noisy a couple of nights. We know people are out to enjoy themselves. But there should be a shut off point noise after 12 midnight a bit much.

Great for getting about Southport about six miles tarleton a nice place. Good location.

 We picked this site as we wanted somewhere close to home so my husband could nip to work on Saturday morning.

The site is easy to find and the instructions on the website were handy when our sat nav tried to take us down a non-caravan friendly route. When we arrived Christine very kidnly showed us any available pitches and explained where everything was.

The site itself is level and surrounded by tree's so very sheltered and looks very nice. There is a playground in one corner which is close enough to see from your pitch, this was particularly helpful when setting up and packing away as we could see our son playing without worrying, it was however quite run down and could do with a regular clean as it was covered in bird poo and dried tissue that some kids had obviously been throwing when wet during a previous holiday. There is also a woodland to one site which was good to take him on a little adventure.

The toilet block is basic, separate room for men and women with a toilet and shower in. The showers were 50p each with an honesty box to pay, personally I don't like having to pay extra for showers as I feel this cost should be included in the site fee's, more frustrating when I found you needed to be around 5'7" or below to enjoy the shower, I spent my time crouched down to be able to wash my hair which wasn't very comfortable.

There are a number of farm workers living around the site in various caravans and wooden huts, they all seemed very friendly and invited us round to a bonfire they were having on the Saturday night.

Overall it was a good site for a weekend not far from home but needs a few improvements to the shower block and playground in my opinion.

 Fantastic place, so quiet and peaceful and the staff that were there were amazing and helpful. Only downside is there's only 2 showers and toilets, but they are spotlessly clean and work perfectly. Will definitely be going back soon.

 We stayed here for a bank holiday weekend found it to be perfect. If you want a nice clean and chilled out campsite then this is the place. Christine who runs the site is very friendly and chatty, couldn't find a fault with the place. A little hidden gem.

Reviewer: Velder 1 review from this member

 Lots of good features but some downsides.

Nice small campsite with a small play area at the bottom of the fields, this was perfect for our three year old, she could play there and we could see her from our tent. Very cheap only £13 per night with EHU. The toilet and shower is in the same room which didn't bother us as it was quiet we didn't queue. The washing up area was a problem for us. It is a sink with drainer attached to the outside of the toilet / shower block, it has no hot water to it and it right next to the bins.

There are free roaming chickens on site which the kids loved.

I'd stay again but only in a caravan so we could wash up easily.

It's on a bus route although we didn't use it.

It was nice and peaceful as it's within the countryside.

 Just got back from a three night break at old Manor Farm and have mixed feelings really.

The site itself is really nice, just one field with a play area and woodland walk.

The play area is in real need of a overhaul or possibly renewing as it is in very poor condition. In fact the swings actually broke while we were there and had to be taken down.

This wasn't really to much of a problem as the kids loved the woodland area as they were able to play here safely as it is fenced off so they couldn't wander off.

All the kids on the sight loved it, especially at night when they were all in the woods with torches all trying to scare each other.

Curfew was at 11 so the kids, including ours, had a wail of a time upto about 10. 30 then it started to quieten down.

The toilet/shower block was disappointing to say the least.

One female shower and toilet and one male shower and toilet.

The toilet and shower were actually together so when some one had a shower the toilet could not be used.

This wasn't really too much of a problem until the second day when more and more people arrived.

Last count was 18 varying units.

One of the reasons we booked this sight was because it was a small sight.

Supposedly 5 pitches with room for a few tents.

Caravans and tents were packed in like sardines.

There was one washing up station that couldn't be used as the sink was blocked for the duration of our stay.

The sight is situated about 15 minutes from southport and a short drive from Hesketh Bank where there is a small supermarket.

There is plenty to do in southport and Martin mere wetlands centre is very close by which is a highly recommended day out for all ages.

I would really like to re visit this site in the future so hope some improvements are made to the facilities and a few less 'sardines'

 A really nice little site, with basic but adequate facilities. There was only cold water available and a additional charge for the shower, which was disappointing given the rate charged for camping. We took young children who had a great time exploring and playing on the small ( and slightly dilapidated) play area. A generally nice couple of nights, but not for glampers.

Reviewer: H9env 1 review from this member

 My partner and I found the Old Manor Farm to be a lovely site. The toilet block was basic but clean and the showers are hot. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the site and the little woodland walk was a pleasant surprise. The small playground is adequate for small toddlers but could benefit from some TLC!. Ideally situated for Southport centre and its shops. My only criticisms would be the signage for the site entrance is very small, so it's easy to miss your turning and the entrance itself is a very tight, an almost 90 degree turn. Apart from that we would recommend this site if you're looking for peace and quiet and a no hassles stay!
