What a find!
What a lovely hidden gem! Stayed here to visit family in Blackburn and this will now be my go to place in the future.
Had a little note waiting for us on the gate and then had a warm northern greeting telling us we could park anywhere we wanted. The gardens and the view are just beautiful. Had a peaceful nights sleep, can hear the distant hum of traffic but it didn’t bother us.
Relaxing stay with superb views
This is a lovely well maintained site very peaceful with wonderful views we have booked for a revisit this coming weekend. MRS Duckworth was most helpful .
our 1st stay at close house
thoroughly enjoyed the early may bank holiday weekend at close house,,,our 1st ever visit but certainly will not be our last...such a peaceful, beautiful little site set within the well managed gardens with fantastic view to outlying moorland...
mrs duckworth the owner was very welcoming and allowed us to pitch were ever we chose explaining were the water/waste water points were and even opened up her shed to find me a spanner for gas bottle i had to change as i had somehow lost mine
as keen walkers we were more than pleased by the number and variety of different walks for all abilities within 500mtrs of site add to that the local pub doing decent food and a pint at £3.25 then happy days...we didnt try the indian restaurant in village as we bbq,d in the sunshine of an evening but im sure we will soon
with only 1 other caravan pitched on site by likewise elderly couple mrs duckworth explained not many people stop here...much to our amazement in truth...maybe its no shower/toilet facility...i just dont know... but if people give this site a try then im sure that like us you will be pleasantly surprised

A warm welcome and wonderful views
What a lovely quiet site, we're so glad that we found Close House. Mrs Duckworth was extremely helpful and we enjoyed our stay with her immensely. There has been a great deal of work undertaken to improve drainage and being in a raised location we were happy and dry for our stay. The views are great of surrounding hills and our dogs were made very welcome. Lots of lovely walking within a short distance, especially around the reservoirs and the Hare & Hounds is a dog friendly pub. Nice looking curry house very close but we didn't get around to trying it out. Highly recommended and we have already booked for another stay.

A Relaxing Gem
Our first visit to this beautiful tranquil site, although Mrs Duckworth was away overnight, she left clear instructions as where to park my 7.6m long Motor home as we were located in her back garden on hard standing and not on her grassed site. What a lovely garden and view we had. A beautiful peaceful site to visit. We spent 3 night here and wished we could have stayed more. We will be back very soon and would recommend Close House to anyone. We didn't get out and about so we could not comment on the access to the surrounding area.
