What customers say
Bonners Lodge is a small, peaceful site with friendly hosts and immaculate facilities. Guests praised the spacious, well-maintained pitches, the excellent games room with various activities, and the opportunity to interact with the farm animals. Enclosed pitches are popular for dogs and children. While some noted the limited number of toilets/showers, most found them spotless and never had to wait. The rural location offers beautiful views.

Fantastic site, fantastic people! Will be back!
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful little site, Michelle, Ken and friends are so so welcoming and have gone above and beyond to ensure your stay is a great one!
If you've got little ones who love animals, this site is for you!
The owners bring the animals to the caravan field every morning to allow families time with the animals, you can walk them around the park and maybe even get a donkey ride!
They have a room with a pool table and some seating areas that is always lovely and warm, its great to have somewhere to relax and meet the other folk on the site.
Kids are really well catered for with an indoor games room, toys outside, you name it, they've probably got it!
We will definitely come back to Bonners Lodge!
Shower was nice and big in a heated room (dont often see that) and wasn't a press button shower! Facilities always clean!
I cannot praise Michelle and Ken enough for what they do with the site, very hands on, very friendly, great people!
----------
One side note for visitors coming from Bishop... dont let you sat nav take you down West Lane on route to the site, its unnervingly tight and an unnecessary detour!

Excellent site for younger children, level pitches and friendly staff
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Everything! Greeted by very friendly staff who recommended the best pitch although gave us the choice then gave us a guided tour of all facilities and introduced us to all the animals. Very good for children with steps and pottie seat in ladies as well as a well equipped games room. Beautiful views will definitely stay again.

Welcoming hosts and beautiful views we will be back
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Wonderful hosts they made us feel extremely welcomed, saddling up the donkey so my two babies could have a ride (aged 2 and 3) as well as allowing us in the enclosures to pet the sheep, Pygmy goats, Shetland pony and doggies Dixie and Jack. My 3 year old particularly loved walking pixie the pygmy goat and has not stopped talking about it since! The facilities were perfect in particular the play room and the park which again our babies loved. We felt very at home and will definitely be back to stay on this extremely picturesque place. Thanks for having us. ☺️

What’s not to like?
It’s peaceful, the pitches are a decent size, the views are stunning, being around the animals is something I don’t think you’d get anywhere else, there’s a heated shower room (which is immaculate), games room and Michelle is a fantastic host.
We didn’t want to leave!
Disliked Couldn’t find fault with anything!

Liked Absolute peach of a site. Secluded location overlooking agricultural land. Excellent facilities. Spotless toilets and shower block with plenty of hot water. We stayed on a serviced pitch, im not sure whether all pitches are serviced though.
Lovely welcome from Michelle, the owner, who showed us round.
The neighbours are lovely too, (goats, lamas, horses and sheep).
Another one added to our list of go to places.
