We collected our Elddis Accordo 125 from Peter Roberts Caravans & Motorhomes in Huddersfield and they offered us our first ever night in a motorhome at Holly Tree Cottage to check things out.
It would be fair to say that this place has set a very high benchmark for our future touring. Ashley and Alison are charming, warm and friendly hosts and the site is lovely. As said our first experience and we were not expecting such good facilities. Really nice pub within short walking distance and a lovely walk from the site with the dog.
Highly recommended and we would stay there again without hesitation.
Still awesome!
After a gap of 2 and a half years, we returned here. Still a fantastic CL. Just what caravanning is about.
Perfect CL
A truly lovely CL, conveniently located but in a tranquil spot. Bus stop opposite if you need one to explore the area or get to Denby Dale, the closest railway station. Lovely walks available on quiet bridleways with a great pub a few minutes walk away. Real ale fans will not be disappointed! Alison and Ashley were the perfect hosts - reasonably priced too.
Fabulous CL
We chanced upon the details of this Certified Location whilst investigating the area, in order to visit our nephew in Holmfirth and our granddaughter in Leeds. Having read previous reviews we had no hesitation in booking and we were not disappointed. We had 10 lovely days there. Alison and Ashley were most welcoming and informative. We had 2 lovely meals at The Dunkirk Inn less than a mile away. We were also able to visit Barnsley, Wakefield and Huddersfield which were not that far away. A beautifully kept site with wonderful views we were glad we read the previous reviews!!!
Thank you Alison and Ashley.
What a find!
We originally booked this CL as it was the closest to Cannon Hall Farm, where we attended a wedding this weekend, and are we glad we did!
Alison and Ashley could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Alison contacted me the day before our stay to give me details of how to access the site as she was going to be out, these were clear and easy to follow. Both Alison and Ashley were very friendly and keen to share their knowledge of the area and also just have a general chat.
Alison helped with hairdresser (although I decided to do my own hair), and taxi numbers well in advance of our trip.
The site itself is in a great position overlooking stunning countryside with sheep in the next field and chickens wandering around in and amongst the vans. Some pitches require levelling blocks, and these are rather thoughtfully provided.
As we were using the CL purely for the wedding, we didn't visit the local pub, although my parents (who also stayed in their MH) did, and said the Pie and Peas, beer and hospitality were excellent.
For some reason, when we do an after work getaway at the weekend, we tend to venture into North Yorkshire, however, this is now on our list of places to go back to, so that we can properly explore the area, it's 30 miles from home and has the lovely walks that we enjoy doing with our dogs, so we will be back, and soon I hope!!!
Excellent CL
What an excellent CL!
Alison and Ashley keep this site immaculate, stunning views and great location. 2 minute walk to the pub which has great pie and peas and lovely atmosphere that allows dogs, reasonably priced too. Would definitely come back.
Fabulous CL!
We stayed here recently for a couple of nights after collecting our new van as we wanted to make sure everything worked and to get us back into caravanning after a break of 10 years or so...
Alison & Ashley could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful - absolutely wonderful hosts! The site is easily reached and access down a long drive could not be more simple - we had a great pitch under some small trees and within easy access of water & waste disposal. Alison provided an extension lead to allow us to hook up the electric and we were set...
The local pub, The George, comes highly recommended - extremely friendly landlord and very welcoming locals, much as we've come to expect in our adopted home of Yorkshire! The pub does wonderful home made pies but do book up in advance as they sell out extremely quickly...
All in all, this could not have been a better reintroduction to caravanning and reminded us why we always preferred CLs.
Many thanks to Alison & Ashley for such a great stay!
Just Perfect
This is the first but certainly not the last visit to this site, it is quite possibly the nicest cl we have been on. The owners Alison and Ashley are so friendly and helpful but not in you face, even brought pet lamb Pippin for our granddaughter to see, a gem of a site, we will be back OFTEN.

Fantastic!
This was our first CL and our first trip out this year, with our new puppy, so a trial run....10 mins from home!!!!
The weather wasn't very kind to us initially, but we still had a wonderful weekend, Alison and Ashley are the perfect hosts, with lots of useful information, even though we were local we still learnt lots!
We came back fully refreshed and relaxed!
The highlight had to be popping in to see the last lamb of the season, just after it had been born, the children loved that!
We will be back!
Thank you both for a wonderful stay - sorry the review is a bit late! :)

Excellent.
We really enjoyed our stay at Holly Tree Cottage.
Lovely views,16 amp electric.
We loved watching the sheep and little lambs in the field just in front of our van.,plus the Peacock which gave us a show of it's lovely tail colours a few times.
We had a very relaxed stay,we didn't want to go home.
We traveled on the train from Denby Dale (free car park) and used the local bus service.
Had a great time at Pugneys Lake,while at the lakes don't forget to have a miniature train ride, also the National Coal Mining Museum is well worth a visit.
If we are lucky enough to get a pitch next year we well be back.
See you again in 2020
