My name is Alex, and for 12 years, I’ve run ‘Stanley Villa Farm Fishing & Camping’… A Glamping site based 15 mins from Blackpool, aimed mostly at families and couples who want a short break. We have Pods, Bell Tents, a couple of Wood Fired Hot Tubs, and a beautiful wooden facilities lodge that overlooks our stunning lake. Guests […]
After months of preparation, today is the day the Bell Tents reopen for the 2024 season! They’re looking better than ever before. If you’ve stayed in them last year you’ll know all about them… If you stayed in one in 2022, you really need to come back and try the upgraded versions. They are so much better now than when we first opened […]
It’s back to normal somewhat this week after the madness and fun of the School Half Term & the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Our guests all enjoyed their breaks with us, and the fantastic reviews have been coming in thick and fast…
I’ve included some at the bottom of this email.
It’s the last day of school for many today (including my little girl Alice).
If you’re on the hunt for ideas for things to do to keep the kids entertained then look no further…
We have 10 spacious Bell Tents (one of them with a Hot Tub!) all ready to go…
I hope you’re well & enjoyed the Bank Holiday.
It’s been another fully booked weekend at Stanley Villa Farm.
It was a real pleasure to see so many returning customers and familiar faces.
Straight to it today…
I have a 24hour Flash Competition for YOU Alex…
To win a free night’s stay in your choice of A Pod or A Bell Tent AND a Free Gourmet Burger…
I hope you’re well on this Sunday.
It’s been a fun filled weekend here at Stanley Villa.
We welcomed Pizza-rana ‘Pop Up Pizzas’ on Friday night, and feedback has been amazing!
I personally managed to ‘sample’ all of the 6 pizzas on offer – and can say they were sensational!
We’ll certainly be inviting them back and will announce the dates as soon as we can.
I hope you’re well.
We’ve been busy today checking guests in to the Pods and Bell Tents.
It’s been brilliant to see peoples reactions when opening the zips to the Bell Tents!
Especially those who have been before and stayed in the Pods.
They’ve been loving all the extra space and nice little touches in the Tents.
The smell of the canvas takes a lot of people back to when they were young and had their first camping trips.
It’s been brilliant hearing people’s camping tales, and remembering my own.
I hope you’re well.
It’s Friday night, Good Friday, & also my Birthday!! ?
A big thank you to the staff that have run the site for the day so I can have some time off.
Top of my agenda for today though was getting my little boy Arthur’s birthday present sorted…
He’ll turn 4 on Monday.
I think he was more excited for my birthday than I was… He came running in to our room at 6am with an enthusiastic “Happy Birthday” and a big hug!
The best present a dad can get ?
He’s such a sweet little boy (most of the time!)
We had a drive out to Evans Cycles near the Trafford Centre and found him a bright Orange bike – his first with pedals.
We also had a look in the ‘Chill Foctor-e” and managed a cheeky Nando’s.
What a weekend it’s been at Stanley Villa! Our official opening of the NEW Bell Tents and a new chapter in our history (almost 10 years!). It was real job to get the Bell Tents ready in time, but with a lot of help from our fantastic staff (and some of their friends & family) we did it! The Bell Tents have only been open […]
