Cartford Cottage, Little Eccleston With Larbreck

Tucked away in the rolling Lancashire countryside at Little Eccleston, Merlewood Country Park is a well-regarded holiday park open all year round. Its landscaped grounds and countryside views make it a peaceful place to spend a weekend or a longer break, with local shops and transport links within easy reach. Poulton-le-Fylde, Garstang, Blackpool and the wider Fylde Coast are all within easy reach for days out.
The park has a friendly community feel and plenty to explore, from its well-kept conservation area and resident wildlife to its alpacas and pygmy goats. Dog owners can enjoy scenic walks around the grounds and make use of the on-site dog wash afterwards. There’s also a reception office and a laundry room for everyday convenience.
Holiday home owners also benefit from complimentary membership at Acresfield Health Club & Spa, with access to its leisure and wellness facilities.
