Nice site

Stay at the site for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The site is well maintained, clean and tidy. The wardens were really helpful especially when I needed to change my pitch (Motor homer went out for the day and didn't leave a sign saying that the pitch was taken). The arch on the way to the site is big enough to get through so dont panic - we have an 8ft wide caravan. Do not come in the other way, the road is far to narrow. We walked to Bolton Abbey and did the circular route back which took around 2.5 hours total which includes going round the Abbey and stopping for an ice cream. Beautiful walk and even saw a Kingfisher!!! Would definitely stay here again.

Many thanks

This is such a lovely well cared for site which we have visited on several occasions over the years. A great location as mentioned in previous reviews. We've just returned from a most enjoyable week here and would like to thank again the most helpful wardens, Laurence and Yvonne, who were so supportive when we had a problem with one of the brakes seizing on our caravan. They couldn't have done any more to help us get safely on our way home. Mayday responded fairly quickly to our call for help but please be aware when calling them that they will require to know - caravan length, width, height and total weight as well as the usual postcode etc.

Disappointed

I booked on line late Sunday afternoon, when I arrived the person in reception was very pleasant and welcoming. He told me there was 3 available pitches, I can't remember the other numbers but I picked pitch 10. A beautiful site, nice clean facilities, all set in woodland with Squirrels and Ducks. Despite my Millenco Quattro levelling ramps I couldn't get my motorhome level, that is what is bugging me, of the 3 pitches available was this the best available? were the other pitches any better? why didn't the warden warn me that the pitch wasn't level? Pitch level is extremely important. We rely upon your wardens for advice on your sites, if we can't trust them how can we trust the our club

Beautiful site

Although our couple of days at Bolton Abbey were wet, this did not distract from the beautiful setting of this site. Staff were pleasant and helpful, facilities were spotless and pitches were well laid out. Wonderful walks from the site along the river to Bolton Abbey. Don't expect to get onto your pitch early, and just be aware of the approach road if towing. Otherwise perfect and we will be returning hopefully with better weather.

Perfect location!

Lovely location for walks to the Strid, Barden Bridge, Bolton Abbey and the village. The wardens were working flat out in high temperatures and did their best to accommodate my last minute booking but only had a ‘non awning pitch’ available. I checked and they said it was was fine to use my canopy as I’m in a motorhome not car/caravan therefore I was able to use the car space for the awning. But for fire reasons I wasn’t allowed to have my small windbreak up running from the back end of my Moho to canopy leg. This seems odd given it remaining well within my pitch. I don’t think these pitches should be charged as highly as those allowing a unit/car/awning ( and windbreaks!) This isn’t the wardens doing though and they were very obliging and understanding that it was 30+ degrees and I needed shade for my dog. All in all I stayed for several days longer than intended as it’s such a beautiful site and such an incredible location. I’d love to return soon.

Last 2 night stop travelling back from NC500

We included this site which was a slight detour home to spend 2 nights with our young Granddaughter. Our visit was 25/26 June. Our newly acquired Garmin Tourer 2 Sat nav had been spot on throughout Scotland..... but DON'T use it to get here :-) I knew where I should've been going as we had been to Bolton Abbey before (not the site) but let it take over..... BIG MISTAKE Still, at least we enjoyed a very scenic route, passing through villages where we had some odd looks..... Lovely site & surrounding area. Good facilities, apart from tv & phone reception which is well documented in the handbook, so no complaints there. Strangely, I did get data on my phone & was able to use Whatsapp. We arrived earlier than my daughter who was included in our booking, explained this to the warden & when she arrived she was given a site map with our pitch circled on it so she could drive straight to us. Nice touch. We had a lovely family next to us with 2 girls who made friends with our Granddaughter, sadly they only had 1 night together :-( Will definitely visit again for longer as there is so much to explore locally.

Lovely site

Stayed on this site for 5 nights last week. It is a lovely site,with walking straight from the site. 5 mins walk you are down to the strid and can walk along the river to Bolton Abbey or alternatively drive. Lots of other walks around the area too. The wardens Lawrence & Yvonne were a credit to the site. They kept it well maintained and were very helpful and friendly.

>Excellent quiet site.

This was our first visit to the site. With an Autotrail highline motorhome we were a little concerned by the Bolton Abbey Arch. Fear not, just line yourself up straight and proceed slowly through the arch. There is only a couple of cm's clearance either side on the wing mirrors, but the height is fine so long as you do not have a satellite dome on top. The site is amazing and both the relief and normal wardens were very friendly and helpful. You can walk for miles through the estate either side of the river, the two tea rooms at Strid and Cavendish pavilion are both good. We will definitely be back

Great staycation

This is only my second stay on a site with my motorhome and what a stay it was from start to finish, i loved every second Laurence and Yvonne who are the wardens come across as very caring and very helpful and they will do anything to make your stay enjoyable.I havnt done much in the way of motorhoming since getting the motorhome on the 22nd of march 2020 then covid hit so couldnt go out in her till just now june 2021 so i didnt know what to expect i did camping as a kid but still not really knowing what to do or where to go but i neednt of worried as Laurence and Yvonne helped me so much and thankyou to them for being there , the site is really clean and well maintained from grass to rubbish removal from the recycling area and site areas are spotless my only downside was wifi was nill and tv signal was nil untill i purchased a tv aerial wire which i plugged into the sites free tv booster ( yes i paid for the wire but thats my fault for not buying one before i left ) then we could watch the tv the wifi is a different story no signal on that or mobile phone even with my own dongle (which also didnt work ) i then resorted into using the sites wifi which wasnt cheap at £3.50 for 24 hours and wasnt fast at all , i can do without many things but wifi isnt one of them , apart from that all was well and enjoyed the quiet and the banter with the other campers they are some lovely people .I am no walker but my wife said to me we are walking to Bolton Abbey and im so glad i remembered how to walk further than to the fridge because is was really nice and out in the sun and fresh air was really rewarding .Enjoyed the whole 4 days i was there and will be back again this year some time once i get the feeling back in my feet after a 6 mile walk ….. Give it a try get rid of the Covid cobwebs and enjoy

Great stopover

We stopped for 2 nights after travelling Scotland and was greeted by very helpful wardens, unfortunately no access to 4g and u will need to purchase the clubs WiFi which was a bit hit and miss and u need to have a long aerial or can purchase from site to beable to watch TV. Lovely clean wash rooms and toilets etc, this campsite is on a huge estate with lots of walks, tea rooms and ice cream hut, ideal for families and couple. Unfortunately unable to use a bike on the estate grounds but take your walking shoes and can walk all directions for hours. Absolutely loved it here and would recommend and return.
