Liked: Just arrived back form a long weekend at Stanley Villa Farm Fishing and Camping. The pods are small but as there were only two of us so they were fine. The beds were comfortable and we had an amazing sleep each night. The site is kept clean and tidy and the facilities in the main lodge are great. There are accessible wet rooms in the lodge with toilets and showers in but there are additional separate showers and toilets with steps available so there are plenty for everyone. We sat out each night and you could see all the campfires lit and the BBQ's going whilst the kids played on the green in the middle of all the pods which was lovely. It has a small shop on site where you can purchase or hire all your basic camping needs. Alternatively there is a garage with a Spar in and also an Aldi just down the road. The phone signal wasn't great and there is no wifi available (or none that we were made aware of) which is a shame, however it was quite nice to be unavailable for a few days if you wanted to be! The staff are very pleasant and helpful and the Manager popped by the pods every night to check everyone was okay before locking up - we thought this was lovely touch. It's just a few minutes from the main hub of Blackpool but so peaceful it feels like you're miles away. Thank you for your making our stay so pleasant.
Disliked: I would have given it 5 stars however the main fishing lake was closed and we had to use the alternative lake which is not yet finished and it was difficult to position yourself on the unfinished bank. I am conscious that the closed lake may be due to the lack of rain so it isn't a criticism of the site but with keen fishers in the family it really was one of the reasons we chose this site. We are looking forward to using this lake though when we stay next year.

Just had two day break in a pod and it was so relaxing. The staff are lovely, helpful and welcoming. The toilets and showers were spotless, kitchen facilities are open 24hrs and include kettle, toaster and microwave. The views and walks around lake are great. Look forward to returning next time with grandchildren and friends.

Oh man, this place is truly amazing...
It's like a little glamping community, there was loads of other families and everybody was so nice to each other it was fantastic! BBQ fire pit with each pod was an absolute pleasure to see. Everything a stone throw away from everything else, facilities on site, each pod has beds and are cozy, shop on site, fishing on site about £15 per rod. I even managed to catch one having not fished in 20 years. Ice cream was delicious!! Greg's close by, and during our stay there was a van for food and breakfast! It really was the best weekend we've had this year, Alex and Stella huge shout out to you guys for the most welcoming brilliant stay, thank you! 👍🫶👌😁🎣🎉🔥

Absolutely amazing place. Everything you could need is catered for. The pods are clean and quirky. The communal lodge is fantastic with a little kitchen and huge dining area overlooking the fishing lake. The toilets and showers that were immaculate. I really couldn't fault it.

Lovely place, very peaceful. Staff were all great and helpful. Took a 4 year old and she loved it, close to Blackpool, but also nice to stay and do the fire pit and play games. Will definitely stay again

Absolutely wonderful place. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Pods are clean and tidy. The communal hut is warm and tidy and the effort they have put in to decorate for Halloween was amazing. Great place and will definitely be back. Thank you.

I have been here a couple years ago. Absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great. I burnt my chocolate by mistake and the owner looked after me. He was so helpful and energetic. My mother also left a crutch there and he sent it through the post only requesting delivery charges.
