Brilliant break 5 minutes from home

Was in need of a short break but due to family illness needed to be near home. Had previously used the site to empty toilet cartridge on way back from an overnight stop with no facilities. Easy check in. Mrs Duckworth lovely to deal with and site immaculate. Gardens beautiful was very jealous. Being local we know the area well but still had a lovely peaceful couple of nights. Great walks about and also good transport links. Pub and cafes within walking distance one also has a small selection of food and essentials available. Will be back.

Lovely Garden CL

I can thoroughly recommend this CL. Lovely lawned pitching area ( garden) with lots of room between pitches. Although not far from the M65, about 1 ml, it is nice and quiet with grand views across to the West Pennine Moors. The access is rather tight round onto the pitches for large units but perfectly doable. It has EHU and has a lovely owner who is only charging £15 at the moment. All the major supermarkets can be found within 5 mls or so of the site at Blackburn and Darwen, while the village has a pub and a super ice cream parlour/cafe.

What a find!

What a lovely hidden gem! Stayed here to visit family in Blackburn and this will now be my go to place in the future. Had a little note waiting for us on the gate and then had a warm northern greeting telling us we could park anywhere we wanted. The gardens and the view are just beautiful. Had a peaceful nights sleep, can hear the distant hum of traffic but it didn’t bother us.

our 1st stay at close house

thoroughly enjoyed the early may bank holiday weekend at close house,,,our 1st ever visit but certainly will not be our last...such a peaceful, beautiful little site set within the well managed gardens with fantastic view to outlying moorland... mrs duckworth the owner was very welcoming and allowed us to pitch were ever we chose explaining were the water/waste water points were and even opened up her shed to find me a spanner for gas bottle i had to change as i had somehow lost mine as keen walkers we were more than pleased by the number and variety of different walks for all abilities within 500mtrs of site add to that the local pub doing decent food and a pint at £3.25 then happy days...we didnt try the indian restaurant in village as we bbq,d in the sunshine of an evening but im sure we will soon with only 1 other caravan pitched on site by likewise elderly couple mrs duckworth explained not many people stop here...much to our amazement in truth...maybe its no shower/toilet facility...i just dont know... but if people give this site a try then im sure that like us you will be pleasantly surprised

A warm welcome and wonderful views

What a lovely quiet site, we're so glad that we found Close House. Mrs Duckworth was extremely helpful and we enjoyed our stay with her immensely. There has been a great deal of work undertaken to improve drainage and being in a raised location we were happy and dry for our stay. The views are great of surrounding hills and our dogs were made very welcome. Lots of lovely walking within a short distance, especially around the reservoirs and the Hare & Hounds is a dog friendly pub. Nice looking curry house very close but we didn't get around to trying it out. Highly recommended and we have already booked for another stay.

A Relaxing Gem

Our first visit to this beautiful tranquil site, although Mrs Duckworth was away overnight, she left clear instructions as where to park my 7.6m long Motor home as we were located in her back garden on hard standing and not on her grassed site. What a lovely garden and view we had. A beautiful peaceful site to visit. We spent 3 night here and wished we could have stayed more. We will be back very soon and would recommend Close House to anyone. We didn't get out and about so we could not comment on the access to the surrounding area.

A lovely welcoming site

Spent one night at this lovely little cl site not far from our home. Although mrs duck worth the owner wasn't home, she had left a lovely note pinned to the gate with exact instructions of where to park . What a beautiful place this is. It is an ideal place for caravans with an immaculate field to stay on. For a motorhome there is a gravel hard standing away from the field and on ur own. I personally would have preferred to have stayed on the grassy field , to be with fellow campers, but as mrs duck worth wasn't there to ask, we didn't want to cause any problems for the stand in warden. Saying this where we were was fine. It's abt 10 walk from an Indian , where I've eaten before, and is very good. Beautiful grounds, slight noise from the road, although being on the field would be would have been quieter. Would I return.... Def. would I recommend ....def. at £9.50 with ehu and water fill up you can't go wrong. A little hidden gem in abbey village, Belmont.
