Walk through the door of The Granary and you enter a generous open-plan living space on the ground floor—kitchen, dining and sitting area all flowing together, with a picture window framing the surrounding fields. Three bedrooms are split across both floors: two singles downstairs, a kingsize and another pair of singles above. One bathroom serves the cottage. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are all covered; the kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave and fridge-freezer for self-catering, plus a washing machine for longer stays.
The cottage sits within the grounds of Martin Lane Farm, part of a small cluster of converted agricultural buildings set across six acres of gardens and open countryside. You have use of on-site parking for three cars, a bike store, and access to shared facilities including a tumble dryer in the laundry room and a sitting-out area with garden furniture. The grounds also contain a barbecue, pizza oven and fire pit. The location is quiet and rural, yet the coast lies within a 10-minute drive. The grounds include a fenced pond (30 yards away) and stream (275 yards away); there are also nine steps elsewhere on the site. No smoking inside the cottage.

What guests say
What a beautiful, gem of a place. Farm buildings that have been converted into self contained apartments. Yes we could have stayed in a souless premier inn with noisy guests at 2am, but we wanted something with character, close to town. Ormskirk and Southport are nearby. Its a paradise for cyclists, hikers and there's even a canal close by for kayakers and Suppers. We will definitely back to stay here!

Stayed in the Dairy for three nights visiting family and old haunts. Perfect for a couple. Cosy and secluded, proper middle of nowhere stuff.

The Dairy was a wonderful place to stay! Perfectly sized and set out for solo or a couple. Private, you wouldn't know there are other units around, but this would be a great place for a stay that needed a number of separate spaces. Convenient for WWT Martin Mere (less than an hour walk if you're so inclined). Although not needed, parking space was fine and safe. Truly everything you'd need for a short (or longer) stay.

Albeit out of the way, we found this a great stay. The hostess was super friendly & helpful & the cottage was clean & well presented for a great price for the 2 nights we stayed.
