About The Old Piggery Barton

The Old Piggery Barton is a stunning converted barn in rural Lancashire, just 4 miles northeast of Formby. This former pig shed combines contemporary style with original features like exposed beams and brick walls. Panoramic countryside views and complete tranquillity make this accommodation special - plus you'll spot barn owls and buzzards if you're lucky!

Set among the owner's farmland, this peaceful retreat gives you the best of both worlds. Cyclists and walkers will love the nearby tracks and trails. The coast is just 8 miles away with beaches at Formby, Ainsdale, Crosby and Southport. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at several courses including Royal Birkdale - host of the 2026 Open. Martin Mere Wetland Centre is 9 miles away for wildlife spotting.

The accommodation features two stylish king-size bedrooms, each with their own en-suite. The fantastic open kitchen-diner is perfect for socialising, while the cosy snug with wood burner (first basket of logs included) offers a place to unwind. There's even a Z-bed available if you're bringing an extra little one.

Explore Liverpool (13 miles away, 25-minute drive) with its famous waterfront and Beatles attractions. Visit Formby Beach (8 miles, 15 minutes) with its red squirrel reserve and sand dunes. Martin Mere Wetland Centre (9 miles, 18 minutes) offers wildlife spotting. Southport Pier (11 miles, 20 minutes) provides classic seaside fun.

The Old Piggery Barton is perfect for couples seeking luxury or families wanting space. The private hot tub is divine after a day exploring. The outdoor bar with drinks fridge means cocktails under the stars - who says pigsties can't be cool?

James

Absolutely loved staying here! The cottage had everything we could possibly need, making it super easy for us and the kids. They spent hours running around in the huge, secure garden, which was a real bonus. The location's lovely and peaceful, yet close enough to beaches and farms for fun days out. We're already planning to come back next year!

Samira

We really enjoyed our time at the Old Piggery! The garden was perfect for Harley and Daisy - so spacious and secure, they loved running around. Our daughter especially loved the hot tub and the huge room to sleep in. Jayne and Tim were lovely, welcoming us with nice gifts which was a lovely touch. The scenery is stunningand there's lots of wildlife around. We'd definitely love to come back sometime!

We've stayed in loads of self-catering places, but the Old Piggery really stood out. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little cottage! The place was spotless and in such a peaceful spot, perfect for escaping the hustle. Tim and Jayne were lovely hosts, really thoughtful without being overbearing. Their local tips made exploring even better. Our dog loved the secure garden and paddockand the hot tub was just what we needed to unwind. Honestly, we'd definitely recommend The Old Piggery for anyone looking to relax-thanks so much!

Emily

We had an awesome stay! The house was truly lovely, with so many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The welcome hamper was a nice surprise and helped us settle in quickly. All the little things for Wilf, like toys, bowlsand towels, were much appreciated. The hot tub line was a clever idea, especially since it meant we didn't have to worry about him when it got dark. Jane was fantastic, always giving great recommendations for food and places to visit. Overall, a really enjoyable week, we'd definitely come back!

Emily Rose

What a fantastic stay! The hosts were super friendly, the garden was perfect for our dogsand the hot tub with those views was just lovely. Can't wait to come back again!

Emma

The place was fantastic, really had everything we could ask for and then some. Our dogs absolutely loved waking up and running around the paddock every day - it's so peaceful and secure. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch, saved us a trip to the shops right away. We didn't get round to trying the hot tub, but definitely plan to come back just for that! Lovely stay overall.
