Family-friendly vacation rentals in St Helens

We absolutely love this place. Our second visit didn’t disappoint and we will definitely be back. Literally everything provided, host quick to answer queries, local co op for anything you don’t take, stunning scenery, lovely walks and a fabulous hot tub to end the day. Just perfect 👌

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the bungalow. It was perfect for visiting Chester zoo which was less than 5 minutes drive away. The accommodation was spot on, with the hot tub and coffee machine being particular highlights! Thanks so much.

A really special place to stay. We had three families and all really enjoyed our stay. We took the option of the caravan too; everything was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. Between us there were five kids and there was plenty of space for them to roam and explore. The hot tub and sauna were great too.

We loved the farmhouse, it was very spacious, the facilities were excellent, the hot tub was fab! Lovely garden with plenty of shade (were lucky with a hot weather weekend!) . Very good location for visiting Chester / Blue Planet Aquarium etc. We had local family joining us for a buffet lunch one day and there was plenty of crockery/ cutlery/ serving dishes etc. Ben was swift to respond to/sort out a couple of minor issues, and was very helpful. We would definitely like to come and stay again! Thank you!

This was our second visit to Lynne's place and once again we had a wonderful time. Lynne was a congenial host and the apartment had everything as described. A two minute walk takes one down to the River Mersey foreshore with paved footpath alongside, and Anthony Gormley's "The Men" can be seen en route. From the kitchen the view of the garden and over to the West Lancashire Golf Course is delightful. Parking right outside and short walk to train station were a bonus. We look forward to another return visit one day.

My friend and myself spent a couple of days at Little Nook for some peace and quiet. We absolutely loved the place. so pretty and relaxing. Everything we needed was on hand, including a fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, spacious living area, and the hot tub was just wonderful! Sharon and Ralph were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended. We will definitely return.

Lovely house. Super clean, hot tub was great and the pool table was a great addition. Secure paddock for the dog to run around and the host was amazing moving the sheep and alpacas into the far paddock to accommodate. Would book again.

Absolutely amazing property. We came here for our parents' joint 70th birthday and it was PERFECT. The games room, hottub and garden provided loads of entertainment for everyone. The views from the garden are amazing as well. Sophie and Lucy were super responsive and even went out to get a new BBQ for us when the existing one broke. Would definitely recommend and would come back in an instant

If it were possible to give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! Where do I start… this place is beautiful - incredibly well kept, the garden is beautiful, and looks incredible at night when the lights are lit. The apartment itself is pristine and very modern but what really stands out is how incredibly well equipped it is. If you’ve forgotten anything, you can almost guarantee Mike has already thought of it and left it in the apartment. From toothpaste, to make up remover, to pain killers… we were honestly in awe. Not to mention the fact that Mike has also provided all breakfast essentials too! Milk, juice, cereals, porridge, peanut butter and even frozen croissants! And that’s without even mentioning how helpful Mike is himself, he happened to be around upon our arrival and very kindly gave us a lovely tour and made us feel right at home. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough! I wish we had booked for longer!

We absolutely loved our stay at Barley Rise and hope to return. The lodge is very well located for exploring the local area. The information pack and laminated instructions by Kay were very useful. Everything in the property was fantastically clean and well laid out. It's incredibly quiet, peaceful and private. We were greeted by a very friendly dog, who didn't bark at all nor jump up. The rest of the time, he was kept away although we would have loved to see more of him! Tommy the horse was another very welcome friend, and we loved seeing him happily rolling around. Special mention for the walk in shower, which had excellent water pressure! My partner is extremely fussy about showers but wished he could take it home with him. Please don't hesitate to book, I truly doubt you would find a more pleasant stay at this price in Cheshire.

Heather (acting on behalf of Chris) was extremely helpful and responsive. We received clear instructions on how to work the heating and how to enter the property, as well as useful info on local amenities. The house has everything you’d need for a short or medium stay and the location is excellent for visiting central Manchester and the surrounding area. The garden is enclosed with a high fence, which made it perfect for our dog to play in. We also appreciated the dishwasher and washing machine and tumble dryer, which we were able to make use of. We couldn’t fault this property!

Beautiful apartment over 2 stories. Lovely large lounge and dining area. 5 minute walk to the town centre with all the shops, pubs and restaurants.

Excellent location with great parking

This apartment is in a perfect location for sightseeing. Five minutes walk from Albert Docks and the shopping centre. Lots of bars and restaurants also within easy walking distance. The apartment was clean and well equipped and there was plenty of room for the 5 of us

Great communication and they checked in to see how we were doing. Great one night stay and easy to access. Highly recommend there apartment

Excellent accommodation, exactly as described. Two well appointed bedrooms with powerful hot showers. We really appreciated the toys, tractor and box of Lego which kept our grandson busy for quite a few hours. Very welcoming hosts, and two lovely labradors who came to say hello. Only a short drive to Loggerheads Country Park for a great walk with lovely scenery.

Very hostile and loving. Happy to have her

We had accurate communication so found the cottage. Lynne was there to welcome us and explain how things worked. The location was perfect for us as we were walking in the area and the accommodation allowed for younger members of our family to join us over the weekend.

This is the second time we stayed at Gary’s and we were happy with our choice. Nearby to transportation and stores, clean, and good communication. Had all the amenities we needed for our family of four. We recommend Gary’s flat to other families.

We had a lovely stay. Everything was clean and well-prepared for our arrival. The atmosphere was very pleasant and peaceful. We were really happy with our stay and would gladly come back again!

Our stay at this cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by its cozy atmosphere. The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding area, and we especially appreciated the peace and quiet. The cottage was immaculately clean, well-equipped, and the bed was super comfortable. Ian and Emma were incredibly friendly, responsive and helpful with recommendations. They greeted us once we arrived which was lovely, we also got to meet Frankie who was super cute🥰🐶🐾. We would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting a relaxing getaway in the countryside!

Had a great stay at David’s place in Liverpool. The flat was well equipped and clean. Location was fantastic. Quiet and safe but very close to Lark Lane with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars. Also loved the LFC decorations and touches in the place. YNWA

We had a fantastic stay at Andrew and Sarah’s place. It is perfectly located near so many things to see as well as restaurants and groceries. We felt very welcomed and would happily stay here again.

We stayed at this beautiful Airbnb in Manchester city centre over the bank holiday weekend, as I was getting married at the nearby Castlefield Rooms. The location couldn’t have been more perfect – right on the lock, just a short walk to the venue, and surrounded by charming canalside views. The house itself is absolutely stunning – stylish, clean, and full of character, with plenty of space for getting ready on the big day. Sarah, the host, was fantastic – super responsive and helpful, answering any questions quickly which made planning much easier. Given the central location and proximity to the bars across the lock, it did get lively in the evenings (especially over a bank holiday), but ear plugs were thoughtfully provided and made a real difference. Overall, a brilliant spot if you want to be in the heart of the action, with a gorgeous space to come back to. Highly recommend for special occasions or a fun city break.
