Why stay here ...

Our CL site is set in a peaceful location in a small village on the east facing slope of the Pennines with stunning views across the countryside. Children and well behaved pets are very welcome. The site has grassed and hard standing pitches (some sloping) with electrical hook-up and plenty of space for awnings etc. The site is securely locked at all times.

The local pub is a 2 minute walks away which serves home-made pie and peas. Behind the pub is a public children's play area. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walkers as there are plenty of public footpaths in all directions and we are also set along the Pennine Trail which is ideal for walking and cycling. Quite a few of the walks from our CL are circular including 2 nearby reservoirs one of which is pushchair friendly. There are plenty of local shops, café's and restaurants in nearby Denby Dale which is approx 1.5 miles away and also has a train station. Our site is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area which offers lots of attractions in nearby Penistone, Holmfirth (Last of The Summer Wine) and the village of Cawthorne which has the fantastic Cannon Hall Park complete with farm, café and farm shops. Also nearby is Bretton Sculpture Park and the Yorkshire Mining Museum.  

The Tour de France is also passing through the area.

We provide a good returnable information pack on arrival with walks, maps, attractions and nearby shops, pubs and restaurants.

If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to meeting you.

We stayed recently on this lovely farm site. Easy access and friendly welcome from Alison and Ashley. Beautiful views. Levelling blocks were needed but they provide each pitch with a selection so nothing to worry about. A drive to the next village of Denby Dale for trains to Barnsley, Leeds,Sheffield.... Show more

Excellent stopover

Stopped at Holly Tree Cottage on our way to visit our daughter with our motorhome. Easy access to the CL. Greeted at the secure gate and shown to our pitch by the welcoming owners. Lovely quiet sheep farm location with good views. Would definitely stay again.
