We have just finished off a fortnights tour of the Lakes and Dales with five nights at the Bolton Abbey estate site. We tend to think a good rule of thumb as to what you can expect from a site is the initial welcome you receive from the wardens and in this respect we could not fault Yvonne and Laurence. We were greeted by name, advised of which pitch numbers were vacant and informed about everything the estate offered. The service block was always spotless and during our stay they seemed to work non-stop, nothing was too much trouble, and they always had time for a chat and to advise on places to visit, they are a real credit to the club. Wharfedale and the surrounding areas are a delight. The estate is so well kept and offers a variety of walks for all abilities and some paths have been specifically designed for wheelchair/motobility access. We crossed moorland and followed the river in both directions. A walk to the Abbey is must, as is a visit to the omni-present ice cream van in the grounds, delicious vanilla. There is a bus stop outside the site but buses are few and far between, check the timetable. As others have said the phone signal is pretty limited, but then it's not particularly good anywhere along the valley so it might be worth advising all your social media followers that you are going to rig for silent running for a few days. Site wi-fi is good enough to stream films though the best entertainment was definately hand feeding the ducks. Great stay.
