CL recommendation sought within 2 hrs Manchester

perhaps a little further CARLTON GRANGE just outside of  Helmsley ,

OPen all year and are dog welcoming 

£11 per night 

Lovely around you as well jesslou. You are on our radar! We drove past while staying in a cottage before Xmas. 

Went there a few years ago. We were given a big bag of the most fantastic spuds. Great site.

Ditto but the OP was asking for CL recommendations. 

How about us? Stoney Leach Nurseries (no.813, page 377 in the Directory) is in a quiet, rural setting not for from Junction 27 of the M6.    Open all year and with hard-standing pitches, we charge £13 per night including EHU, awning and dogs.   You can get to Manchester by road, 30.6 miles to the centre.  The nearest train station is 2.5 miles and the trains take about 50 minutes and run about every 30 minutes depending on the time of day  Hope this is helpful, you would both be most welcome to stay here.

I rather got the impression the OP was hoping to drive two hours max from Manchester area, rather than into it. I could be wrong of course..... 

 yes, well, I see what you mean but doesn't it work both ways? Sort of?  Only I should have advertised the site and what a lot of interesting things there are to do round here shouldn't I? I'll get my coat.    

Is the dog a whippet by the way?

No need to get your coat, I was interested enough to note your CL, we are hoping to do a tour over the Pennines this year, so will be taking a look! As I said I could be wrong indeed. Sorry if it sounded a bit unfriendly, it wasn’t intended that way. Good on you for mentioning your site.👍

Edit: looks a very nice place, interesting location as well. And a nursery, always take a plant or two home from our travels!

Thanks very much for that TTDA,  hope to see you later in the year.
