A previous post mentioned the owners dog on the CL but we didn't see this. They have a young chocolate lab which is very friendly and yes, there was poo in the yard but not actually on the site. There was chicken poo but lets be fair, the chickens have gotta go when they gotta go, as have the rabbits on site. The site is easy to find with no access problems and we were told to pitch where we wanted as long as our lead would reach the bollard. There are a few hardstandings but what they are like I don't know but if you like the sun all day then pitch the paddock side of the site, not like us towards the trees which meant we didn't see the early morning sun. The cost is £12 pn +£1 for a awning so no one can moan about that. Just yards up the lane, which only seems to lead to a farm, there is Strines station where trains can be caught to either Sheffield or Manchester. There's a large pond opposite the farm entrance which belongs to the local angling club. They drained and refilled it the week we were there so I expect the fishing will be a bit naff for a few months until all has settled. If I have any complaint then it is the grass, although it had been cut, was still a bit too long especially with the rain we had and having to take the dogs out. Overall though I'd thoroughly recommend the CL. Just a word of warning, TV reception is poor, non existent in our case despite having the latest Status aerial. Pure bliss, no TV for a week.
