Idyllic views, walks & lovely pub

Beautiful views across the Lune valley and down the river, and such a peaceful location! We will be back soon. Each plot on this well-kept site has waste and (I think) water. CDU is screened by laurel bushes, a nice touch. The owner is lovely too. Lovely walks directly from the site... Show more

It's nice here just 1 little niggle.

First time here on the CL. No complaints whatsoever. There is 1 caravan here looks permanent and tatty. Also we thought this was Adults only? Apart from that it's beautiful here. Well worth the £16.00 pn. We haven't met the owners so we have left our fee in the letter box... Show more

Lovely little site

We have used this site fairly regular and it always pleases. Simple site with hook-up and water, well looked after. But the views are worth every penny, even though it rained a lot when we were there. Sites have a bit of a slope but nothing major. ... Show more

Visited June 2023, fabulous CL site, we accessed with a 7.5m Laika A class motorhome, the approach road is single track with passing places, take your time, no issues, most pitches are sloping so ramps needed. Very tidy site and peaceful site, all the services you need on site. Spectacular... Show more

Conflicting information

We booked through CL Booking. On the CL Booking website, the site is described as adults only and £14 per night. On arrival we found a family with children on the site (who were very well behaved fortunately). We also found that the site was quoting £16 per night on... Show more

New owners need to give a little TLC

We arrived on site on a glorious sunny day in early July. The pitches on site are a bit of a challenge and really need levelling. We have a caravan and the only pitches which were suitable for an awning were on the right hand side, which... Show more

Well maintained site in a lovely location

Change of CL owner 2021. New owner is maintaining the extremely high standards of the previous owner. Extremely well-maintained site (they have contractors to cut the grass – I’ve not seen that before on a CL). All pitches have their own grey water grid. There’s a choice of four pitches... Show more
