Excellent location

We stayed here for three nights in our motorhome at the beginning of July. Yes, it is basic but the facilities are good and it is very quiet and sheltered. Having stayed at a few sites with stunning views plus high winds this year, it was quite a relief! We were happy with the pitch size and did not have to use levelling blocks. We did have trouble finding the path through the site to the cycle path/walkway, so my advice would be to ask Roger or Sarah, who are very friendly and keen to help, though you might not see them the minute you arrive. Having found the path, we did a great walk on footpaths taking in the canal towpath, ending up at Glasson Dock and buying some lovely smoked cheese in the Smokehouse. On our second day we cycled to Lancaster and then on to Morecambe Bay, all on traffic free cycle paths, a real treat and a lovely ride (about 16 miles round trip). We would definitely use this site again, being happy to be off grid and use 'own san' but there is a small camp site with hook ups and shower block nearby. We also appreciated the Garden Centre on site with its excellent cafe.

Fab and friendly CL site

I stayed on and off for several weeks during the summer but I have just worked out how to leave a review! I got a very friendly welcome from Roger. Good sized flat pitch. I loved the quiet location and the beautiful wooded surroundings with basic facilities. Excellent cycle routes into Lancaster and Morecambe. I also did lots of walks to Glasson Docks and Cockersand lighthouse over the fields. Garden centre cafe nearby serves excellent food and good shop. I saw Deer, Hares and pheasants. It was peaceful and good value for money I would highly recommend it as a CL site.

Needs some TLC

Arrived at this CL and phoned owner to advise. Didnt see him till leaving as decided to leave a day early. This could be lovely with a bit of maintenance and TLC. The pitches and driveway were full of weeds and need maintenance . We had to use levelling blocks. ÂŁ12 is expensive for a site with no electric or grey water emptying point. No view and not really Motorhome friendly. Pitch sizes are ok but if you had a car parked on your grass, you couldnt fit an awning without being very close to the neighbours. Apparently there is a path down to the cycle route but no signs telling you this. It was very quiet at night, not even an owl, so if your wanting that its good. They have another caravan site with showers electric etc in the opposite field, which looks better but lots of work digging up land to fit a septic tank was going on in the middle of it ( not peaceful for those campers). The CL looks like the poor relation....... Did part of the coastal walk which is nice and the cycle path is very good. We had planned to stay for 2 nights but only did 1 and moved on.

Bay Cycle Route.

We arrived early and were warmly welcomed by Roger. We chose this site because of its closeness to Glasson Dock and the beginning of the Morecambe Bay Cycle Route 700. A track has been created through the grounds to make access easy. We cycled to Silverdale and back on a glorious day along a beautifully diverse scenic route. As other people have said the site is flat with hard standings, tranquil and sheltered. No facilities except the basics.

Exceptionally quiet site with level hardstandings

We stayed here for 3 nights in October 2018. It must be one of the most tranquil sites we have ever stayed on. Roger and Sarah were very pleasant and helpful. There is a good bus service to Lancaster in the north and Knott End (and thence to Fleetwood and Blackpool) to the south. The buses are every 90 minutes. We had no problem accessing the Lune cycleway as pedestrians, via a rather steep railway bridge. It was not possible to get our bikes there however as the gap allowed is very small. There is a good woodland walk of around 2 miles within the hall grounds. As others mention, the Stork pub is a 30 minute walk away and you can catch the bus back if you get the timing right. 1015 am, then every 90 minutes until 7pm. Walking back on the road is not recommended, especially after dark, as there is no footpath. Nice bar at the golf club and a pleasant garden centre are additional attractions.

Excellent site - Friendly hosts

This is an excellent CL site with very friendly owners. Nice walks to Glasson Dock or Lancaster. While there are no electrical hook ups on the CL, the owners have a small private site 500 meters away with several fully equipped hard standings and new toilet block. Either site is highly recommended. We don’t often go to the same place twice as we like new adventures but we will go back to this site.

Exceptionally Well Maintained Site.

Enjoyed a couple of days here, after a little retail therapy in nearby Lancaster. Being November and in a motorhome, our one priority was hardstanding, of which, all pitches are and a generous size with it. The site is peacefully located in the grounds of Ashton Hall in what appears to be the back of a walled garden and is fairly enclosed, so sheltered. We did hear traffic noise from the main road from inside the van and could imagine it would be pretty evident when/if sitting out in summer.This was mainly at commuting times and really didn't disturb us siting inside. The chemical disposal and bins are neat and tidy and in a fenced area. We had basically come away for some peace and quiet with the intention of a few walks but disappointingly, there are no footpaths close by. The track that leads to the coast ends at a private house and no access can be gained to the coastal footpath.I had to be content with wandering onto the golf course and around some of the grounds.As for the peacefulness, that was wonderful as we were the only folks on site and the sound of the trees swaying in the wind was very soothing! There are no electric hook-ups although our friendly host offered to plug us in from a nearby house. We declined as we are fine running on gas but on our second night the temperature plunged to below freezing so we had a cold wake up! All in all, a great site set in lovely grounds. There is the added bonus? of a garden centre with shop and cafe and the golf club which own Ashton Hall has a bar/ restaurant open to the public.

For me, almost perfect. For my wife, spot on.

We both loved the site and the owners could not be more friendly or helpful. My small letdown was the donkey calling at 5:45am. The misses loves donkeys so she was happy as she could be. Many thanks for a lovely weekend, D and G.
