Our stay was awesome and we can't recommend The Shanty enough. The styling is beautiful and cosy and our fam of 3 slouched into it like it was home. Location is within easy walking distance of St Helens town and we spent some good walking time on the shared pathway in both directions. We can highly recommend Lifebuoy Cafe for breakfast and lunch. In addition, the Serpentarium, reptile and animal park on the town outskirts is well worth the visit.
