Stanley Villa Farm Fishing and Camping Reviews

Absolutely amazing

Wow! We stayed in the lake view pod with the hot tub and loved every second. Upon arrival, we were greeted straight away and the owner is absolutely lovely! He showed us how to work the hot tub and answered all our questions. The pod is perfect and we were very toasty at night. The bed is comfy! The hot tub was a dream and stayed hot the entire 2 and half hours we relaxed in there. Super easy to set up as well. We bought ice cream, which was delish. The communal kitchen and bathrooms are lovely. All around the site there are animals everywhere, including tiny little baby bunnies. We fed the chicks and sheep, which was amazing!! We had a lovely walk around the lake as well and found a hidden little fairy house, which felt very magical. All in all, it was an amazing stay and we will definitely be back!! I feel so relaxed. Thank you for having us! A little side note, we don't drive and got an Uber to the farm. Absolutely no hassle and was fairly cheap from Preston City Centre.

Our stay

Absolutely amazing place. Ended up staying an extra night in the hot tub pod and wow, it was amazing. Defo will be back.

What a fantastic review! Thank you so much and we'll hope to see you again soon. Many thanks - Alex & the team :)

Our first glamping experience

Thought the site was really nice. The layout of the pods was good and there was enough space between the pods. The pods were basic but clean. The only criticism I would have would be the cleanliness of the communal areas. A nice big space to sit in, but it could be a lot cleaner. Again, showering facilities could be cleaner. I would say it's value for money and I would probably return.

Lovely site

A lovely experience. I decided on this place as it was a great way to introduce my son to camping, but without the hassle. We had the pod with radiator and it was great. He loved sleeping in his sleeping bag and cooking over a fire pit. There were no plugs so it was torchlight, and the whole experience was just what I wanted.

Great - Would recommend to anyone!

Lovely site - quiet, great views of the lake and animals on site! Staying in the bell tent was amazing - fabulously decorated and great value for money. Having the communal lodge on site was a lifesaver, staff were all super friendly, will be back!

Perfection!

We watched a few videos on YouTube before we went to get a feel but nothing could compare to actually being here! It has the best feel. Perfect location, super friendly, it really is the perfect place to feel zen. The shop onsite sells everything you could need, it's peaceful and great for kids,and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

Stay

Was a decent, nice place.

Our stay

Absolutely fantastic, this was our first time glamping and definitely will be back soon 😁

Peaceful, cosy, lovely location

Loved our stay! Gorgeous, peaceful location. Staff on site are so lovely and welcoming. Happy to help and always check in to make sure your stay is going well. Great facilities - toilets and showers very clean. Lovely on site shop and ice cream! Only thing I would say is that the mattress need to be updated. So many different activities to do, an amazing fishing lake to do fishing, close by to Blackpool and local pubs and shops. Would recommend this place 100%! I would of loved to have stayed longer. Definitely will be back.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay. The facilities are great and include a kitchen in the lodge. The showers are in the toilets, so be warned that everything gets soaked, including your pile of clothes! But it is all heated, so you aren't shivering once it's gone off. There is a shop on site and a food van. You are allowed to stay outside until 11pm. The only negative is that a member of staff comes at 10:30pm with a kettle of water to put your fire out. It's a bit of a shame really, as we had fire wood still on and had the expectation that we could stay out for a further half an hour. I would also recommend being in pods further away from the shop, or you will be in the footfall of all other people staying. We would return though as the manager is really friendly and takes the time to check in before he leaves.

A lovely couple of days

My daughter and I spent two wonderful days at the campsite. The pod was clean and welcoming. There were plenty of facilities and these were clean and tidy. We had a great time visiting sites in the local area and at night enjoyed a cosy fire, toasting marshmallows and chatting. Very pleasurable. Thank you.

Great weekend away

Amazing place, quiet, with great staff and cheap. Great fishing lake.

Camp stay review

We had a lovely stay and met a lovely family who had a child the same age as our daughter, who she made friends with and kept her occupied. Thank god 😊. Pillows in the pods would be nice.

Glamping Pod with Hot tub

Hey! I just come home and we had a great time staying here, as a mum with 2 kids- 1 being 11 and 1 being 1. It's hard to entertain the 2 and keep them both happy. We choose the hot tub pod on this occasion and I would prefer this one in the future as adults or couples in all honesty... we absolutely loved it but it was hard being private separated from the other pods as we didn't have that friendly neighbours chatting and kids making friends. The hot tub pods are over looking the lake which is beautiful and I don't think I have seen that mentioned so I will attach a lovely picture of what you'll be looking at. I wouldn't change much about my stay as everything was simple enough and available to use. if I had to make a suggestion I would say perhaps something like a slide or a swing for smaller children to play. the older kids are quite happy playing board games or ball anyway. We will definitely come again, the staff are lovely and very helpful and we had a lovely time xxx

Beautiful location very relaxing, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, we were welcomed to the site as soon as we arrived, the facilities were excellent and very clean. The hot tub was such a luxury with beautiful views. Will recommend to others and will be visiting again. Thank you!

Family fishing break

We had a fantastic 3 night stay in one of the beautiful bell tents. The staff were really accommodating, very helpful & friendly. The site was spotless and the facilities were fantastic. My partner and son loved fishing on the beautiful well kept lake. Many thanks to all the staff, we will be back soon💙
