Excellent site, very clean facilities
Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked Everything loved staying there.
Disliked Waste water grid, right near entrance/exit. No other vehicles could get in or out while emptying waste water. So whenever someone wanted to drive in or out, had move to let them pass.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a 10/10 review.
We appreciate all of your feedback.
The park is only small and we have tried to incorporate as many facilities that customers expect.
The grid is not at the actual entrance to the park on the drive but on the carpark. In the unusual circumstances of someone needing access there is plenty of room to move. You are the first customer this has happened to !

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch (maximum 7 metres)
Liked We had a warm welcome from Walter when we arrived. The site is very pleasant and clean. The facilities are excellent. The toilet / shower block was spotlessly clean. The pitch was a generously sized, level with electric and water hook ups.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked Great location - bus from just down the road into neighbouring towns (bus drivers also really helpful! ). Immaculately kept grounds, nice views and good services. Prompt communication and helpful owners. We didn't notice any road noise and slept well, despite it being alongside the busy A59.
Disliked Not a dislike as such, but the bathroom light timers switch off when you're in the (enclosed) shower cubicle for 5 minutes. As the showers run on a coin- based timer you're already running against the clock. It's inconvenient and time consuming to get out and wave at the sensor to restart the timer (especially when you have shampoo in your eyes). I gave this feedback to the owners and they said they'd take it on board. They were lovely and very responsive.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave at 9 out of 10 review.
We are very lucky to be on such a direct bus route, and it takes you right into the heart of the Ribble Valley.
We take great pride in the grounds on the park and we do have nice views thank you.
We do like to keep communication clear, so all of our customers know what to do when they arrive.
Walter is always on hand for any questions.
Just a quick note, we have taken on board what you have said about the light timers in the showers, and we are going to put in an extra sensor in the close season.
