So friendly and helpful
The Rowe House
I booked 2 nights on the site as I was working nearby. Robert took time to personally show me where everything was and the best place to park given the very wet weather. Very nice, clean shower/toilet room. Great to have lots of space instead of a tight cubicle. Lovely utility room for washing up, as my van has no hot water. Washing machine and dryer not used this time, but a truly excellent facility if I had been staying longer. Stunning view of Pen-y-ghent, though unfortunately had no time to climb it this time. I will be back. Thank you.
A Super CL
The Rowe House
We stayed for two nights in the middle of some pretty wet and windy Yorkshire weather. However, this didn’t detract from the stunning location once the cloud lifted. A stunning view of Pen Y Ghent presented itself, and we loved the easy access to many of the Dales’ stunning roads.
Robert met us on arrival and suggested the best pitch for us to deal with the weather, and then gave us a quick tour of the facilities, which were excellent. A CL with a shower? What luxury!
A couple of things to note, you'll need to drive over close to the gate on the field to have a 10m water hose reach your onboard water tank, and even then ours only just reached. Grey water needs to be offloaded via a bucket, Aquaroll or similar.
That aside, it’s a brilliant jewel of a CL and well worth a visit.
Glorious!
The Rowe House
A really glorious Caravan & Motorhome Club "CL". Fairly large, grass site with just 5 pitches. The owners also have a B&B in the adjacent, lovely house.
Very friendly and helpful owners, Jane and Robert. Very well maintained site, with just one combined loo, sink and shower room - very clean and well presented.
The site has a stunning view over the majestic Pen-y-ghent - wonderful! Loved the stay here. I'll be back.
Beautiful site with mountain views
The Rowe House
I cannot praise this lovely site enough. For those who like peace and quiet under the gaze of the glorious Pen-y-Ghent, then look no further than The Rowe House. Robert & Jane are very welcoming and provide plenty of advice during the booking process. CL guests have access to a well appointed washroom with WC, shower & basin. Another bonus is access to a utility rom with a washing up sink, washing machine and drier. Horton in Ribblesdale Station is just a 5 minute walk away as is the bus to and from Settle. The Pennine Way is on the doorstep! Highly recommended!
Five star CL
The Rowe House
We booked up at fairly short notice and received excellent information and communications from Jane who was equally helpful when we arrived for our two night stay last week. The large, sheltered site is pleasantly located on the edge of the village, next to a road (not busy) and the railway line (ditto) across the road. Great views towards Pen-y-Ghent and a pub 1/2 mile easy walk down the road. The facilites here are the best we have experienced on a CL: washing machine, dryer, somewhere to hang washing out under cover, shower, toilet and very tidy black/grey waste area. I also really liked the labelled rubbish bin where food waste, recyclable and non-recyclable waste was clearly marked.
Highly recommend this site as a base for exploring this beautiful part of the Dales.
