A little Gem of a site
Drake House Farm
Upon arrival up the lane we were greeted by Ann who directed us to our pitch and walked down to make sure we were all set up and level. She took time to chat about her site which was lovely and explained the electric usage. She was ever so engaging and spent time telling us about nearby walks and places of interest. We were there over Bonfire weekend with our little dog, trying to escape the fireworks in the middle of the countryside. Alas, there was a short firework blast coming from a few miles away, but only lasted twenty / thirty mins so did not spoil what was a very relaxing three nights and we walked up the lane to the moor which provided amazing views of Pendle Hill and the whole area, just breathtaking. The facilities here are perfectly functional. There is one shower, one toilet and a sink with a fresh towel replaced daily. They are spotlessly clean, no heating in there, but it's a working farm and they've done a great job to create a very friendly, peaceful site. The Elson point was clean and had attached piping from the tap to help wash out your cassette. Bins are there for your re-cycling too. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay and can't wait to return in the warmer months next year. Thanks ANN, it was great!
A lovely couple of days
Drake House Farm
Friendly and helpful welcome . Beautifully maintained grounds. Very peaceful and quiet. Views across to Pendle Hill. Great walks up onto the moor, complete with hares and a barn owl, or down to local villages. So much to like. I hope to be back. Thank you Ann.
A CL we hope to return to.
Drake House Farm
We’ve just returned from a two week stay at Drake House Farm Cl, nr Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Drake House Farm Cl is approached down a long single width drive. You can arrive after one pm. It has five hard standing pitches, all fully serviced, including a grey water drain. There is a toilet and shower on site. We use our own facilities, but I did pop for a look. They are basic, but clean. Fast Broadband included and it was fast!
Ann, the owner is helpful and friendly. She greets you on arrival and takes you to your pitch where you can confirm the meter reading with her. Currently, ten units per night are included in the price. We averaged eight units a night.
Great view from the site and it was one of the quietest sites we have stayed at.
Dogs are allowed, but do need to be kept on a lead. This is a working farm and there are sheep in the field next to the CL.
We were fortunate to have 80% fabulous weather and the other 20%, we did think about building an Ark!
We are members of English Heritage, The National Trust and Historic Houses.
There were plenty of places to visit in the area and further afield.
Bolton Abby, Clitheroe Castle, East Lancs Railway, Skipton Castle, Ribchester Roman baths and Museum are amongst the places we visited whilst there. They are walks from the site and within the area.
It’s a site we will return to in the future.
a gem
Drake House Farm
If you want a warm welcome with great views this is the site.
Yes the approach is tight just take care. Yes facilities are rustic but clean. Good walks from the site including lovely villages & pubs. We cycled into Clitheroe where the sausage shop is a must.
Watching the kestrels & curlews was an added bonus.
Thanks Ann I'm sure we will be back.when it's not so hot!!
A great weeks stay
Drake House Farm
What a wonderful site, from beginning to end.
Lovely welcome from Ann on arrival and was always there for advice on day trips out.
The site is fully Serviced with big pitches and panoramic views which are to die for!! All you could hear were birds and owls ( no road traffic noise at all)
Very dog friendly our border collie Alfie was in 7th Heaven with all the walks from the site and beyond .
Don't normally write reviews because we like to keep our hidden gems to ourselves but this site is an exception.
Also thank you for mending our sun chair that broke on the first day lol.
Will definitely return
